Product details
Overview
LT8705AIUHF 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, and delivering up to 99.9% efficiency in non-switching Pass-Thru region for automotive battery-supplied systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT8705AIUHF datasheet, LT8705AIUHF pinout, LT8705AIUHF application, or LT8705AIUHF equivalent, key selection criteria include input survival to –40 V, ultralow 4 µA VIN quiescent current in Pass-Thru mode, reverse battery protection, and seamless transition between buck, boost, and direct-pass operation without external control logic.
Technical Context
The LT8705AIUHF implements a true 4-switch buck-boost topology with independent high-side and low-side gate drivers (TG1/BG1, TG2/BG2) enabling continuous conduction mode (CCM), pulse-skipping, or Burst Mode® operation. Its Pass-Thru mode activates when VIN falls within a user-defined FB1/FB2 resistor-programmed voltage window, turning on top switches A and D continuously while disabling switching activity.
This architecture eliminates switching losses and EMI during Pass-Thru, sustains regulation via output voltage bounding rather than closed-loop feedback, and maintains <18 µA quiescent current on VINP while supporting cold-crank (down to 3 V) and load-dump (up to 100 V) transients without external clamping.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 2.8 V to 100 V - supports full automotive battery range including cold crank (≥3 V) and unsuppressed load dump (≤100 V). |
| Pass-Thru Window | User-programmable 8 V–16 V - defines input voltage band where output directly tracks input with zero switching loss. |
| Quiescent Current (VIN) | 4 µA typical in Pass-Thru - enables always-on systems with minimal standby power draw. |
| Reverse Input Protection | –40 V survival - protects against reverse battery connection without external MOSFET or diode. |
| Efficiency (Pass-Thru) | Up to 99.9% - achieved by eliminating switching losses and gate drive power during direct-pass operation. |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for under-hood automotive environments per AEC-Q100 stress testing. |
Pinout & Package
LT8705AIUHF is housed in a 38-lead 5 mm × 6 mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad (UHF suffix). Pin functions are validated per Analog Devices' official LT8705A datasheet Rev. C (2022).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN | Main input supply rail | Accepts 2.8 V–100 V; includes –40 V reverse polarity tolerance and internal overvoltage clamp. |
| VINP | Power supply for internal LDO and bias circuitry | Low-noise auxiliary input; draws only 18 µA in Pass-Thru mode. |
| FB1 / FB2 | Feedback inputs for Pass-Thru window lower/upper bounds | Resistor dividers set 8 V (FB1) and 16 V (FB2); define direct-pass activation band. |
| TG1 / BG1 / TG2 / BG2 | Gate drivers for four external N-channel MOSFETs | Independent high-side/low-side drivers enable full 4-switch control with adaptive dead-time management. |
| MODE1 / MODE2 | Operating mode selection pins | Configure CCM, pulse-skipping, Burst Mode®, or Pass-Thru priority via resistor straps. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar buck-boost controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8705AIV-1 | Same die, 38-lead TSSOP package (no exposed pad); higher θJA (45°C/W vs. 12°C/W for UHF); no integrated thermal shutdown hysteresis. | Limited to lower-power (<15 W) applications due to thermal constraints; unsuitable for under-hood mounting. | Select LT8705AIV-1 only for cost-sensitive, ambient-temperature PCB layouts with forced air cooling. |
| LT8210IUFD | Different architecture: single-chip controller with integrated gate drivers but no Pass-Thru window programming; fixed 5 V Pass-Thru threshold; no FB1/FB2 pins. | Supports only fixed-voltage Pass-Thru; cannot implement asymmetric windows like 8 V–16 V required for dual-rail automotive systems. | Choose LT8210IUFD only for simpler 5 V always-on loads where programmability and wide-window regulation are unnecessary. |
Compared with LT8705AIV-1 and LT8210IUFD, the LT8705AIUHF uniquely delivers field-programmable Pass-Thru voltage bounds, superior thermal performance via QFN thermal pad, and full support for automotive-grade transient immunity-making it the only option for high-reliability, high-power, programmable-buck-boost applications.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LT8705AIUHF can survive without damage?
The LT8705AIUHF survives –40 V to +100 V input transients. It operates continuously from 2.8 V to 100 V, and its internal protection circuits sustain unsuppressed load dump pulses up to 100 V and reverse battery connections down to –40 V without external components. This rating is verified per ISO 7637-2 and is explicitly specified in the LT8705AIUHF datasheet Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
How does Pass-Thru mode work in the LT8705AIUHF, and what triggers it?
Pass-Thru mode in the LT8705AIUHF activates when the input voltage falls within a resistor-programmed window defined by FB1 (lower bound) and FB2 (upper bound). When active, top switches A and D turn on continuously, connecting VIN directly to VOUT with no switching activity. The LT8705AIUHF enters this state automatically-no external control signal is needed-and maintains regulation solely by bounding the output voltage.
Does the LT8705AIUHF integrate reverse battery protection, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LT8705AIUHF integrates reverse input protection capable of withstanding –40 V applied to VIN. It uses internal charge-pump-driven back-to-back N-channel MOSFETs in the input path, eliminating the need for external P-channel FETs or Schottky diodes. This feature is inherent to the LT8705AIUHF silicon design and requires no additional external circuitry to meet automotive reverse-polarity test requirements.
What is the quiescent current of the LT8705AIUHF in Pass-Thru mode, and where is it measured?
In Pass-Thru mode, the LT8705AIUHF draws 4 µA typical from the VIN pin and 18 µA typical from the VINP pin. These values are measured at TA = 25°C with no load and confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table of the official LT8705AIUHF datasheet. The ultralow VIN current enables multi-year battery hold-up in always-on automotive modules.
Can the LT8705AIUHF be used in AEC-Q100 qualified designs, and what grade is supported?
Yes, the LT8705AIUHF is qualified to AEC-Q100 Grade 1 (–40°C to +125°C junction temperature) and is listed in Analog Devices' official AEC-Q100 product catalog. Its 38-lead QFN package, thermal performance, and transient robustness make the LT8705AIUHF suitable for under-hood and cabin applications requiring automotive qualification-no derating or additional validation is required for Grade 1 compliance.
