Product details
Overview
LT8705AHFE from Analog Devices is a 4-switch synchronous buck-boost DC/DC controller supporting Pass-Thru™ mode, operating from 2.8 V to 100 V input, regulating output between programmable 8 V–16 V window, with 4 µA VIN quiescent current and up to 99.9% efficiency in Pass-Thru region-used in automotive battery-supplied systems requiring cold-crank and load-dump resilience.
For engineers reviewing the LT8705AHFE datasheet, LT8705AHFE pinout, LT8705AHFE application, or LT8705AHFE equivalent, key selection considerations include its Pass-Thru voltage window programming via FB1/FB2 resistors, ultralow IQ in non-switching state, reverse-voltage protection, and compatibility with external N-channel MOSFETs for high-efficiency wide-input automotive power rails.
Technical Context
The LT8705AHFE implements a 4-switch buck-boost topology with independent gate drivers for four external N-channel MOSFETs (A/B/C/D), enabling seamless transition between buck, boost, and Pass-Thru modes. Its MODE1/MODE2 pins select CCM, pulse-skipping, or Burst Mode® operation, while FB1 and FB2 set lower and upper bounds of the Pass-Thru window.
Pass-Thru mode activates when VIN falls within the programmed window: top switches A and D remain continuously on, eliminating switching losses and EMI; SNSP1/SNSN1 sense current for overcurrent protection; VINP supports high-side sensing up to 100 V with 18 µA quiescent current.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LT8705AHFE in a power system?
The LT8705AHFE serves as a 4-switch synchronous buck-boost DC/DC controller that regulates output voltage across input voltages ranging from 2.8 V to 100 V. Its defining feature is Pass-Thru™ mode, where it passes input voltage directly to output within a programmable window-eliminating switching noise and losses. The LT8705AHFE is used in automotive systems to maintain stable rails during cold crank and load dump events without external protection components.
How does Pass-Thru mode improve efficiency in the LT8705AHFE?
In Pass-Thru mode, the LT8705AHFE turns on top switches A and D continuously, bypassing active switching entirely when input voltage lies within the programmed window (e.g., 8 V–16 V). This eliminates switching losses, gate drive losses, and EMI generation, achieving up to 99.9% efficiency. The LT8705AHFE draws only 4 µA from VIN in this state-critical for meeting automotive quiescent current specifications.
Can the LT8705AHFE withstand reverse battery connection?
Yes, the LT8705AHFE survives –40 V applied to VIN without damage or latch-up, providing integrated reverse-voltage protection. This eliminates the need for external reverse-polarity protection diodes or MOSFETs in automotive designs. The LT8705AHFE maintains functionality after the fault clears, making it suitable for battery-connected modules where operator error may occur.
What package type is used for the LT8705AHFE, and why is it significant?
The LT8705AHFE uses a 38-lead 5 mm × 7 mm thermally enhanced eTSSOP package with an exposed pad (EP). This package provides superior thermal performance compared to standard TSSOP variants, enabling reliable operation at high ambient temperatures and continuous load currents typical in under-hood automotive applications. The exposed pad must be soldered to a thermal pad on the PCB for optimal junction-to-board thermal resistance.
How is the Pass-Thru voltage window configured on the LT8705AHFE?
The Pass-Thru window is set using two external resistor dividers connected to FB1 (lower bound) and FB2 (upper bound). For example, a window of 8 V–16 V is achieved with 2 MΩ/287 kΩ on FB2 and 2 MΩ/133 kΩ on FB1. The LT8705AHFE monitors these nodes to determine when to enter or exit Pass-Thru mode-no additional ICs or firmware are required for window definition or transition control.
