Product details
Overview
LT8711IUDC#PBF from Analog Devices is a micropower synchronous multitopology DC/DC controller supporting buck, boost, SEPIC, ZETA, and nonsynchronous buck-boost configurations with 4.5V–42V input range, 15µA Burst Mode quiescent current, and 100kHz–750kHz programmable switching frequency. It enables high-efficiency power conversion in automotive battery systems, solar panel interfaces, and industrial supplies requiring wide VIN tolerance and topology flexibility.
For engineers reviewing the LT8711IUDC#PBF datasheet, LT8711IUDC#PBF pinout, LT8711IUDC#PBF application, or LT8711IUDC#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its dual gate drive capability (2A TG/2A BG), 100% duty cycle support in buck mode, OPMODE-pin-configurable topology, and integrated INTVCC/INTVEE LDOs for robust gate driver biasing across temperature.
Technical Context
The LT8711IUDC#PBF implements constant-frequency current-mode PWM control with slope compensation to prevent subharmonic oscillation at high duty cycles. Its dual regulation loops-output voltage via FB (0.800V reference) and input voltage via EN/FBIN (1.200V reference)-jointly command peak switch current through the VC error amplifier node.
Topology selection is hardware-defined by the OPMODE pin: grounded for buck/ZETA, tied to INTVCC for SEPIC/boost, or connected to a 100pF capacitor to GND for nonsynchronous buck-boost. Gate drivers feature non-overlap timing (~70ns) and fast transitions (TG rise: 11ns, BG fall: 12ns) to minimize shoot-through risk while enabling efficient synchronous FET control.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 42V; supports operation down to 0V VIN if EXTVCC > 4.5V - enables cold-cranking and wide-range solar/battery inputs |
| Quiescent Current (Burst Mode) | 15µA typical - extends runtime in always-on automotive and IoT edge devices |
| Switching Frequency Range | 100kHz to 750kHz, adjustable via RT resistor or external SYNC clock - balances EMI, efficiency, and magnetics size |
| Gate Drive Capability | 2A sink/source for both TG (BIAS–INTVEE rail) and BG (GND–INTVCC rail) - drives large MOSFETs with low RDS(on) without external buffers |
| FB Regulation Voltage | 0.795V to 0.816V (min/max over temp) - ensures tight output voltage accuracy across –40°C to 125°C junction range |
| Current Sense Threshold | 46mV to 54mV (max CSP–CSN) - sets precise overcurrent protection with minimal sense resistor loss |

Pinout & Package
LT8711IUDC#PBF is housed in a 20-lead 3mm × 4mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad (Pin 21 = GND). The package supports high-power density layouts and enhanced thermal dissipation (θJC = 6.8°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN/FBIN (19) | Enable & Input Voltage Regulation | Enables chip above 1.03V; triggers soft-start above 1.35V; regulates input current when biased between 1.12V–1.27V |
| FB (20) | Output Voltage Feedback | Serves as inverting input to error amp; regulated to 0.800V reference for stable VOUT control |
| VC (1) | Error Amplifier Output | Integrates feedback and regulation signals; connects to external compensation network for loop stability |
| SS (2) | Soft-Start Control | Charged by internal 410kΩ resistor; external capacitor sets ramp rate for controlled current limit startup |
| OPMODE (3) | Topology Selection | GND = buck/ZETA; INTVCC = SEPIC/boost; 100pF-to-GND = nonsynchronous buck-boost |
| ISP/ISN (4/5) | High-Side Current Sense Inputs | Kelvin-connected to sense resistor; used for input current limiting and regulation in buck/SEPIC modes |
| CSP/CSN (15/16) | Low-Side Current Sense Inputs | Kelvin-connected to sense resistor; provides primary current limiting path in boost/buck-boost modes |
| TG (8) | PFET Gate Driver Output | Drives high-side PFET with rail-to-rail swing between INTVEE and BIAS; 2A drive strength |
| BG (10) | NFET Gate Driver Output | Drives low-side NFET with rail-to-rail swing between GND and INTVCC; 2A drive strength |
| INTVCC (12) | 5V Logic & BG Bias Rail | Dual-input LDO (VIN/EXTVCC); powers logic and BG driver; UVLO at 3.6V ensures safe startup |
| INTVEE (6) | 5V Below BIAS for TG Bias | LDO referenced to BIAS; sets TG bottom rail; UVLO at 3.85V (BIAS–INTVEE) prevents premature PFET switching |
| VIN (13) / EXTVCC (14) | Primary & Alternate Power Inputs | Redundant supply inputs; chip selects optimal source for INTVCC; enables operation with either rail active |
| SYNC (17) | External Clock Synchronization | Accepts 0.4V–1.3V logic levels; forces FCM when high; enables DCM/Burst Mode when low |
| RT (18) | Frequency Setting Resistor | Resistor to GND sets free-running fSW; 30.3kΩ = ~675kHz, 247kΩ = ~100kHz |
| GND (21) | Power & Signal Ground | Exposed thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar multitopology DC/DC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3789EFE#PBF | 4-switch synchronous buck-boost only; no SEPIC/ZETA support; higher IQ (25µA); requires external VREF | Optimized for bidirectional 12V/48V automotive systems; lacks input voltage regulation via EN/FBIN | Select when fixed 4-switch buck-boost suffices and higher efficiency at medium loads is prioritized over topology flexibility |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT8711IUDC#PBF?
The LT8711IUDC#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 42V on both VIN and EXTVCC pins. Its operational input range is specified from 4.5V to 42V, and it can operate down to 0V on VIN if EXTVCC exceeds 4.5V - a critical feature for automotive cold-crank and solar partial-shading scenarios. This rating is validated across the full –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
How does the OPMODE pin configure topology on the LT8711IUDC#PBF?
The OPMODE pin on the LT8711IUDC#PBF selects converter topology in hardware: grounding it configures buck or ZETA mode; connecting it to INTVCC selects SEPIC or boost; and tying it to a 100pF capacitor to GND enables nonsynchronous buck-boost. This pin directly controls internal logic blocks in the block diagram, and changing its state during operation triggers a full reset - ensuring deterministic mode transitions without latch-up or undefined states.
Does the LT8711IUDC#PBF support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the LT8711IUDC#PBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin. Driving SYNC with a logic-level clock (high >1.3V, low <0.4V) forces continuous conduction mode (FCM) and locks switching frequency to the external source. When SYNC is pulled below 0.4V, the device reverts to free-running operation or enters DCM/Burst Mode based on load. The recommended fSYNC/fOSC ratio is 0.8–1.2 for stable locking.
What are the gate driver voltage rails for TG and BG on the LT8711IUDC#PBF?
The TG driver on the LT8711IUDC#PBF swings between INTVEE (bottom rail) and BIAS (top rail), while the BG driver swings between GND (bottom rail) and INTVCC (top rail). INTVEE is regulated to 5.15V below BIAS, and INTVCC is regulated to 5.0V nominal - both with UVLO protection. These integrated LDOs eliminate external bias supplies and ensure proper gate overdrive across temperature and input conditions.
Can the LT8711IUDC#PBF regulate both input and output voltage simultaneously?
No, the LT8711IUDC#PBF does not perform simultaneous input and output voltage regulation. It supports two independent regulation modes: output voltage regulation via the FB pin (0.800V reference) and input voltage regulation via the EN/FBIN pin (1.200V reference). Only one loop dominates at a time - the higher commanded peak current determines actual operation. This dual-loop architecture enables flexible design trade-offs but requires careful resistor divider selection to avoid conflict.
