Product details
Overview
LT8705AEFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC controller IC designed for high-voltage industrial and automotive power systems. It supports input voltages from 2.8V to 80V and output voltages from 1.3V to 80V, features quad N-channel MOSFET gate drivers, integrated input/output current and voltage feedback loops, and operates in buck, boost, or buck-boost modes using a single inductor - enabling use in solar charge controllers and telecom voltage stabilizers.
For engineers reviewing the LT8705AEFE#TRPBF datasheet, LT8705AEFE#TRPBF pinout, LT8705AEFE#TRPBF application, or LT8705AEFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 38-lead TSSOP package with exposed pad, –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature, 100kHz–400kHz synchronizable switching frequency, integrated 3.3V/12mA LDO, and support for Burst Mode®, DCM, or forced CCM via the MODE pin.
Technical Context
The LT8705AEFE#TRPBF implements a current-mode control architecture with four independent feedback loops: input voltage (FBIN), output voltage (FBOUT), input current (IMON_IN), and output current (IMON_OUT). Its VC pin serves as the error amplifier output controlling PWM duty cycle across all operating modes.
It uses external N-channel MOSFETs driven by dedicated top (TG1/TG2) and bottom (BG1/BG2) gate drivers, with BOOST1/BOOST2 pins supplying floating gate drive for high-side switches. The device supports seamless mode transitions and includes dedicated servo outputs (SRVO_FBIN, SRVO_FBOUT, etc.) for loop activity indication - though these are not available in the FE package per Note 5.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT8705AEFE#TRPBF?
The LT8705AEFE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 80V on the VIN pin, with recommended operating range from 2.8V to 80V. Exceeding 80V may cause permanent damage. The device is specifically designed for high-voltage applications such as solar arrays and 48V telecom systems, and its robust input stage supports transient conditions like automotive load dump when properly protected externally.
Does the LT8705AEFE#TRPBF support synchronous rectification?
Yes, the LT8705AEFE#TRPBF supports full synchronous rectification via its quad N-channel MOSFET gate drivers (TG1, TG2, BG1, BG2). It controls four external NMOS transistors in a 4-switch buck-boost configuration, eliminating body-diode conduction losses and enabling efficiencies up to 98% in optimized designs. No external Schottky diodes are required when using synchronous MOSFETs with appropriate gate drive timing.
What is the function of the MODE pin on the LT8705AEFE#TRPBF?
The MODE pin on the LT8705AEFE#TRPBF selects the light-load operating mode: <0.4V enables forced continuous conduction mode (FCM), floating enables Burst Mode® operation for ultra-low quiescent current, and >2.3V enables discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). This allows designers to optimize efficiency across the full load range - Burst Mode® achieves <2.65mA quiescent current at no load, while FCM ensures low output ripple at light loads.
Can the LT8705AEFE#TRPBF regulate both input and output current simultaneously?
Yes, the LT8705AEFE#TRPBF integrates independent input current (IMON_IN) and output current (IMON_OUT) regulation loops, each with dedicated amplifiers and reference voltages (1.187V–1.229V). These loops can be configured to enforce hard current limits or provide proportional current monitoring signals. Simultaneous regulation is supported in applications such as solar MPPT (input current limited) with battery charging (output current controlled).
Is the LT8705AEFE#TRPBF pin-compatible with the LT8705A QFN variant?
No, the LT8705AEFE#TRPBF (TSSOP) is not fully pin-compatible with the LT8705AEUHF#TRPBF (QFN). While core power and control pins (VIN, FBIN, FBOUT, TG1, BG1, etc.) align, the TSSOP package omits SRVO_FBIN, SRVO_IIN, SRVO_IOUT, SRVO_FBOUT, and SWEN pins - and repurposes Pin 1 as INTVCC instead of GND. Layout redesign and schematic updates are required when migrating between packages.
