Product details
Overview
LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-voltage synchronous 4-switch buck-boost DC/DC slave controller designed to parallel with the LT8708 master in multiphase systems. It operates at up to 80V input, supports 100kHz–400kHz switching frequency, delivers matched current/power to the master, and enables bidirectional conduction for automotive 48V and dual-battery charging applications.
For engineers reviewing the LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF datasheet, LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF pinout, LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF application, or LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, conduction-mode behavior (CCM/HCM/DCM/Burst), slave-specific current monitoring (IMON_INP/IMON_INN), voltage lockouts (VINHIMON/VOUTLOMON), and AEC-Q100-qualified thermal performance up to 125°C junction.
Technical Context
The LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF implements a slave-only control architecture synchronized to an LT8708 master via CLKOUT/SYNC, DIR, and ICN/ICP signals. It replicates all conduction modes-CCM, HCM, DCM, and Burst-while enforcing master-set voltage and current limits. Its dual current-sense paths (IMON_INP for forward VIN current, IMON_INN for reverse VIN current) enable independent regulation of bidirectional power flow.
Internal error amplifiers (EA1, EA5) regulate VIN current using IMON_INN/IMON_INP outputs referenced to VC = 1.2V, while FBIN/FBOUT pins interface with master-controlled voltage loops. The device features dedicated gate drivers (TG1/BG1/TG2/BG2) with 20ns rise/fall times, 80–90ns dead-time control, and 200ns minimum on/off times for robust MOSFET switching at up to 400kHz.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology | 4-switch synchronous buck-boost slave controller - requires LT8708 master for full system operation |
| Input Voltage Range | Up to 80V - supports 12V, 24V, and 48V automotive battery systems with overvoltage tolerance |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz–400kHz - set by RT resistor or external SYNC signal; enables EMI optimization and inductor size reduction |
| Current Monitoring | Dual independent inputs: IMON_INP (forward VIN current), IMON_INN (reverse VIN current) - each with 20µA offset + proportional output |
| Operating Temperature | –40°C to 125°C junction - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade I for automotive under-hood use |
| Package | 40-lead 5mm × 8mm QFN (UHG) with exposed GND pad - enables high-power thermal dissipation in compact layouts |
| Conduction Modes | CCM, HCM, DCM, Burst Mode - fully synchronized to master LT8708; no autonomous mode selection |
Pinout & Package
LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF uses the UHG 40-lead (5mm × 8mm) plastic QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 41 = GND). Pin spacing meets high-voltage isolation requirements for ≥80V operation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CLKOUT (1) | Clock output | 180° out-of-phase oscillator/SYNC replica; usable as temperature monitor via duty-cycle variation |
| SS (2) | Soft-start timing | Capacitor-to-ground sets startup ramp time; must match master LT8708 SS capacitor value |
| SHDN (3) | Enable/disable control | Logic-high (>1.22V) enables operation; logic-low (<0.35V) forces shutdown with <1µA quiescent current |
| CSN/CSP (4/5) | Main inductor current sense | Differential inputs for primary current sensing; threshold set by VC voltage and RSENSE value |
| ICN/ICP (6/48) | Slave current command | ICN sets negative VOUT current limit; ICP sets positive VOUT current limit - tied directly to master LT8708 pins |
| DIR (7) | Power direction control | Active only in HCM/DCM modes: LDO33 = forward (VIN→VOUT), GND = reverse (VOUT→VIN) |
| FBIN/FBOUT (8/9) | Voltage feedback inputs | Connect FBIN to LDO33 and FBOUT to GND to disable internal voltage loops - slave relies on master regulation |
| VC (10) | Error amplifier output | Compensation node for current loops; externally biased to 1.2V reference for IMON_INP/IMON_INN regulation |
| IMON_INP/IMON_INN (11/12) | VIN current monitor outputs | 20µA + proportional current output (e.g., 70µA at 50mV differential) - used for slave-side current limiting and regulation |
| RT (13) | Frequency setting | Resistor-to-ground sets switching frequency; must match master LT8708 RT value for phase coherence |
| SYNC (14) | External clock input | Accepts 1.3V–5.5V logic; connect to master CLKOUT for 180° interleaving in two-phase systems |
| TG1/BG1/TG2/BG2 (15/16/18/19) | Gate drivers | High-speed NMOS drivers (20ns rise/fall); TG1/BG1 control first half-bridge, TG2/BG2 control second |
| GATEVCC (17) | Bottom gate supply | Must be connected to INTVCC - not externally powered; local 1µF ceramic bypass required |
| VINHIMON/VOUTLOMON (25/27) | Voltage lockout monitors | VINHIMON triggers at >1.23V (12V–80V range); VOUTLOMON triggers at <1.225V (0–5V range) - both with 24mV hysteresis |
| RVSOFF (26) | Reverse voltage shutdown | Open-drain output active low when reverse VIN detected; drives external protection circuitry |

FAQ
What is the role of the LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF in a power system?
The LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF functions exclusively as a slave controller that must be paired with an LT8708 master IC. It does not operate autonomously. Its purpose is to add parallel phases to increase total system current and power capacity while maintaining synchronized conduction modes, matched current regulation, and coordinated voltage control - all governed by the master LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF.
Can the LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF be used without an LT8708 master?
No, the LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF cannot operate independently. It lacks internal voltage regulation loops (FBIN/FBOUT are disabled by design), has no standalone soft-start or frequency generation autonomy, and requires continuous signals from the master LT8708 - including CLKOUT/SYNC, DIR, ICN, and ICP - to define operating mode, direction, and current limits. Attempting standalone use will result in undefined or nonfunctional behavior.
How does current matching work between the LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF and its master?
Current matching is achieved through tightly coupled analog current command paths: the master LT8708 drives ICN and ICP pins, which are directly connected to the corresponding pins on the LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF. This forces identical reference voltages into both devices' current regulation amplifiers (EA1/EA5), ensuring slave output current tracks master output current within ±2% across temperature and load - verified in typical application circuits with matched RSENSE and layout symmetry.
What are the key differences between LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF and LT8708IUHG-1#TRPBF?
The LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF and LT8708IUHG-1#TRPBF share identical electrical specifications and pinout, but differ in qualification: the "E" suffix denotes AEC-Q100 Grade I qualification with full automotive reliability documentation (HTOL, ESD, AEC transient testing), while the "I" suffix indicates industrial-grade qualification without automotive reporting. Both operate from –40°C to 125°C, but only the "E" version is approved for automotive production.
Does the LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF support bidirectional operation in all conduction modes?
Yes - the LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF supports bidirectional power flow (VIN ↔ VOUT) in CCM, HCM, and DCM modes when configured with appropriate DIR pin voltage and external MOSFET layout. Direction is controlled by the DIR pin (LDO33 = forward, GND = reverse), and current direction is enforced via IMON_INP (forward) and IMON_INN (reverse) monitoring paths - both active and functional across all supported conduction modes in the LT8708EUHG-1#TRPBF.
