Product details
Overview
LT8698SEV#PBF from Analog Devices is a synchronous monolithic step-down USB charger IC delivering up to 3A at 5V from 6V–42V input, featuring programmable cable drop compensation, integrated high-speed USB 2.0 dataline switches (HD+/HD−, LD+/LD−), and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive USB charging applications.
For engineers reviewing the LT8698SEV#PBF datasheet, LT8698SEV#PBF pinout, LT8698SEV#PBF application, or LT8698SEV#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include VIN range (6–42V), VBUS regulation accuracy with RCBL-based cable compensation, fault reporting via FLT/STATUS pins, USB BC 1.2 profile support (CDP/DCP/SDP), and EMI performance enabled by Silent Switcher®2 and spread-spectrum modulation.
Technical Context
The LT8698SEV#PBF integrates a 3A synchronous buck regulator with dual USB 2.0 data path switches, current-sense amplifier (RSEN-based), and programmable USB charging profile logic controlled by SEL1–SEL3. Its control architecture combines peak-current-mode PWM with selectable forced-continuous or pulse-skipping operation via SYNC/MODE pin.
It implements robust protection including overvoltage (USB5V fault threshold ±7% hysteresis), overcurrent (latched 2.65A limit with 4.2ms timeout), thermal shutdown (>150°C), and dataline short-circuit tolerance up to 20V on HD+/HD− with IEC61000-4-2 ESD rating (8kV contact / 15kV air).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 6V to 42V - supports wide automotive battery transients and industrial 24V/36V rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Output Current | Up to 3A at 5V - delivers full USB-C PD-compatible power for fast-charging smartphones and accessories. |
| Switching Frequency | 300kHz to 3MHz (RT-programmable) - enables compact magnetics and noise shaping for CISPR25 Class 5 compliance. |
| Cable Drop Compensation | Programmable via RCBL pin - maintains ±1% VBUS regulation at remote USB socket despite >400mΩ cable resistance. |
| Dataline Protection | HD+/HD− withstand 20V shorts; ESD rated to IEC61000-4-2 8kV contact / 15kV air - eliminates need for external TVS diodes on D+/D− lines. |
| USB Profiles | Supports BC 1.2 CDP, DCP, SDP plus 1A/2A/2.1A/2.4A proprietary profiles - enables universal compatibility across legacy and modern devices. |
| Package | 32-lead LQFN (6mm × 4mm × 0.94mm) - thermally enhanced with exposed pads and multiple GND/PGND pins for low θJA (22°C/W). |
| Qualification | AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C TJ) - validated for under-hood and infotainment system deployment. |
Pinout & Package
LT8698SEV#PBF uses a 32-lead LQFN package (6mm × 4mm × 0.94mm) with 0.75mm pitch, integrated exposed thermal pad (pins 33–38), and corner support pads (pins 39–42). All GND and PGND pins (1, 11, 14, 17, 23, 27, 32, 33–42) are internally shorted and must be soldered to PCB ground plane for optimal thermal and EMI performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (29,30) | Main power input | Accepts 6–42V; requires ≥2µF local bypass to PGND; two 0.1µF caps recommended between VIN–PGND (pins 27 & 32) for EMI suppression. |
| SW (24,25) | Switch node | Connects to inductor; high dV/dt node-must be minimized in layout to reduce radiated emissions. |
| OUT/ISP (22) | Regulator output & current sense+ | Kelvin-connected to RSEN for accurate cable compensation and current limiting; ties to inductor and output capacitor. |
| BUS/ISN (21) | VBUS output & current sense− | Drives USB VBUS rail; provides negative input to current sense amp; Kelvin-connected to RSEN for precision sensing. |
| USB5V (20) | Feedback reference | Used for cable drop compensation loop; connect RCDC from USB5V to BUS/ISN to set compensation gain. |
| RCBL (19) | Cable compensation programming | Sources 2mA; resistor to GND sets compensation current-determines voltage drop correction slope. |
| HD+/HD− (16,15) | High-side USB data lines | Connect to USB socket D+/D−; tolerate 20V shorts and ESD; disconnect if >4.5V detected for safety. |
| LD+/LD− (12,13) | Low-side USB data lines | Connect to µController D+/D−; enable host-side USB communication with isolation during faults. |
| FLT (4) | Fault indicator | Open-drain output pulled low after 4.2ms sustained fault (OV, OC, thermal); valid only when VIN > 4.5V and EN/UV > 1.46V. |
| STATUS (5) | Configurable status output | Open-drain; behavior defined by SEL1–SEL3 (e.g., current threshold alert, profile ID, or VBUS OK signal). |
| SEL1–SEL3 (6–8) | USB profile selector | Tristate inputs (low/high/float); configure BC 1.2 mode or proprietary charging profile; debounced 1.5ms. |
| EN/UV (3) | Enable & UVLO input | 1.31V falling / 1.46V rising threshold; <1µA shutdown current below 0.25V; resistor divider enables custom UVLO. |
| SYNC/MODE (10) | Frequency & mode control | Ground = pulse-skip; float = forced continuous (RT-set); INTVCC = spread-spectrum; external clock = sync mode. |
| RT (9) | Frequency set | Resistor to GND programs fSW from 300kHz to 3MHz; enables optimization of efficiency vs. size vs. EMI. |
| CLAMP (18) | ESD clamp bias | Bypass with 0.1µF/20V ceramic to GND; stabilizes internal ESD protection circuitry during transients. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar USB charger IC applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8698SJ#PBF | Same functionality but rated for –40°C to +150°C junction temperature; higher thermal endurance. | Required for under-hood applications exceeding 125°C ambient; not needed for cabin-mounted chargers. | Select LT8698SJ#PBF only when operating junction temperature exceeds 125°C; otherwise LT8698SEV#PBF is cost-optimized. |
| TPS65987D-SR | USB-C PD controller with integrated buck converter; supports 5–20V output, CC logic, and PD messaging. | Targets USB-C PD applications requiring variable voltage negotiation; lacks native BC 1.2 analog detection. | Choose TPS65987D-SR for USB-C PD compliance; choose LT8698SEV#PBF for legacy USB-A ports with BC 1.2 and superior EMI performance. |
Compared with LT8698SJ#PBF, LT8698SEV#PBF offers identical feature set at lower cost for 125°C-limited environments; compared with TPS65987D-SR, it delivers superior EMI performance and BC 1.2 compatibility but lacks USB-C PD protocol stack and variable output capability.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LT8698SEV#PBF?
The LT8698SEV#PBF supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 42V on the VIN pins, with recommended operating range from 6V to 42V. This wide input range accommodates automotive battery transients including load dump (up to 40V) and cold-crank conditions while maintaining regulated 5V USB output. The device includes internal protection against overvoltage stress beyond this rating.
How does cable drop compensation work in the LT8698SEV#PBF?
The LT8698SEV#PBF implements cable drop compensation by sensing output current via the RSEN resistor and injecting a proportional correction voltage into the USB5V feedback loop using the RCBL pin. A resistor from RCBL to GND sets the compensation gain, allowing precise adjustment to offset voltage drop across long cables-verified to maintain ±1% VBUS regulation at the remote USB socket even with 400mΩ series resistance.
Does the LT8698SEV#PBF support USB Battery Charging Specification 1.2?
Yes, the LT8698SEV#PBF natively supports USB BC 1.2 through hardware-configurable SEL1–SEL3 pins, enabling detection and compliance with Charging Downstream Port (CDP), Dedicated Charging Port (DCP), and Standard Downstream Port (SDP) profiles without firmware. It also supports common proprietary profiles (1A, 2A, 2.1A, 2.4A) via the same pin-strapping interface.
What is the purpose of the HD+ and HD− pins on the LT8698SEV#PBF?
The HD+ and HD− pins on the LT8698SEV#PBF are the high-voltage side terminals of the integrated USB 2.0 data line switches, connecting directly to the USB socket's D+ and D− lines. They provide robust protection-tolerating shorts up to 20V and ESD events per IEC61000-4-2 (8kV contact / 15kV air)-and automatically disconnect if either pin exceeds 4.5V, safeguarding the upstream µController.
Can the LT8698SEV#PBF operate in forced continuous conduction mode?
Yes, the LT8698SEV#PBF can operate in forced continuous conduction mode by floating the SYNC/MODE pin, which enables RT-programmed switching frequency with continuous inductor current regardless of load. Alternatively, tying SYNC/MODE to INTVCC activates spread-spectrum modulation for improved EMI performance while maintaining forced continuous operation.
