Overview
LTC3807HFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-performance, low-quiescent-current synchronous step-down DC/DC controller driving all-N-channel MOSFETs. It operates from 4V to 38V input, delivers 0.8V–24V output, supports phase-lockable switching up to 750kHz, and features 50μA no-load IQ - optimized for automotive always-on systems and battery-powered digital devices.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3807HFE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3807HFE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3807HFE#TRPBF application, or LTC3807HFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 99% duty cycle dropout capability, selectable light-load modes (Burst Mode®/pulse-skipping/forced continuous), RSENSE or DCR current sensing, OPTI-LOOP® compensation, and 0.8V ±1.2mV reference accuracy over –40°C to 150°C junction temperature.
Technical Context
The LTC3807HFE#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode control architecture with an internal transconductance error amplifier (gm = 2 mmho) and precision 0.8V reference. Its PLLIN/MODE pin selects among Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, or forced continuous conduction at light loads - enabling efficiency optimization across load ranges without external circuit changes.
It integrates dual gate drivers (TG/BG) with 2.5Ω pull-up / 1.5Ω pull-down on TG and 2.4Ω / 1.1Ω on BG, supports external EXTVCC switchover (4.7V threshold), and includes built-in output overvoltage protection (±10% VFB trip), power-good monitoring, and adjustable soft-start/tracking via the TRACK/SS pin with 10µA internal current source.

Pinout & Package
Package: 20-lead plastic TSSOP (FE package), exposed pad (Pin 21) connected to SGND for thermal performance; θJA = 38°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TRACK/SS (Pin 1) | Soft-start & tracking control input | Internal 10µA current source ramps voltage; regulates VFB to min(0.8V, TRACK/SS) - enables controlled startup or supply tracking. |
| FREQ (Pin 2) | Oscillator frequency programming | 20µA internal pull-up; resistor to GND sets VCO frequency from 50kHz to 900kHz - enables precise loop bandwidth tuning. |
| PLLIN/MODE (Pin 3) | Light-load mode & sync input | Selects Burst Mode® (GND), pulse-skipping (1.2V–INTVCC–1.3V), or forced continuous (INTVCC); also accepts external clock for synchronization. |
| RUN (Pin 6) | Enable/shutdown control | 1.16V rising threshold disables control loop; 0.7V rising threshold shuts down entire IC - enables UVLO or logic-controlled enable. |
| SENSE– / SENSE+ (Pins 7/8) | Differential current sense inputs | Supports RSENSE or DCR sensing; common-mode range up to 28V - allows high-side or low-side current measurement. |
| VFB (Pin 9) | Feedback input | Compares output voltage (via resistive divider) to 0.8V reference; ±10% PGOOD window ensures reliable rail monitoring. |
| ITH (Pin 10) | Error amplifier output & compensation node | Directly controls peak inductor current; connects to external RC network for OPTI-LOOP® compensation - stabilizes loop over wide ESR/capacitance ranges. |
| PGOOD (Pin 11) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Pulls low when VFB deviates >±10% from setpoint - provides system-level fault signaling without external logic. |
| TG (Pin 12) | Top N-MOSFET gate driver | Floating driver with 2.5Ω pull-up / 1.5Ω pull-down; supports bootstrap operation up to 46V BOOST swing - enables high-side switch control. |
| SW (Pin 13) | Switch node connection | Connects to inductor and MOSFET source/drain nodes - high dv/dt node requiring careful layout and Kelvin sensing. |
| BOOST (Pin 14) | Bootstrap supply for TG driver | Charged via external capacitor between BOOST and SW; diode from INTVCC prevents reverse discharge - sustains top-FET drive during 100% duty cycle. |
| BG (Pin 15) | Bottom N-MOSFET gate driver | Ground-referenced driver with 2.4Ω pull-up / 1.1Ω pull-down - drives synchronous rectifier with fast rise/fall times (25ns/13ns). |
| INTVCC (Pin 16) | Internal LDO output (5.1V) | Powers gate drivers and analog circuits; sourced from VIN or EXTVCC (switchover at 4.7V) - improves efficiency when powered from regulated output. |
| EXTVCC (Pin 17) | External bias input for INTVCC LDO | Accepts 0–14V; bypasses VIN LDO when >4.7V - reduces power loss and heat in high-input-voltage applications. |
| PGND (Pin 18) | Power ground return | Connects to bottom MOSFET source and CIN (–) - must be separated from SGND to avoid noise coupling into sensitive analog circuitry. |
| VIN (Pin 19) | Main input supply | 4V–38V operating range; requires local ceramic decoupling to SGND - powers internal VIN LDO and supplies energy to switching stage. |
| ILIM (Pin 20) | Current limit threshold select | GND/FLOAT/INTVCC selection sets max sense voltage to 22mV/43mV/64mV - matches different RSENSE values or DCR coefficients. |

| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3891HDE#TRPBF | Dual-channel controller with integrated 5V/100mA bias LDO; higher IQ (75µA) but adds channel redundancy and independent mode control. | Suitable for multi-rail systems requiring independent sequencing and fault isolation - not drop-in for single-output designs. | Select when needing dual outputs or integrated bias supply; requires PCB layout revision due to different pinout and package (24-lead 4mm × 4mm QFN). |
| MP2918GL-Z | Single-channel controller with 45µA IQ, 4.5–60V input, but lacks PLL synchronization, EXTVCC switchover, and OPTI-LOOP® - uses standard Type II compensation. | Better suited for cost-sensitive industrial SMPS where phase-locking and ultra-low IQ are non-critical. | Choose for simpler designs with wider input range (up to 60V); verify stability with external compensation network - no direct pin compatibility. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the LTC3807HFE#TRPBF?
The LTC3807HFE#TRPBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +150°C junction temperature, qualifying it for automotive Grade H applications and high-ambient industrial environments. This rating is verified per manufacturer specifications and supported by thermal characterization data showing θJA = 38°C/W for the TSSOP package.
Does the LTC3807HFE#TRPBF support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3807HFE#TRPBF supports external clock synchronization via the PLLIN/MODE pin. When an external clock signal is applied, the internal phase-locked loop aligns the rising edge of the TG gate drive to the rising edge of the input clock - enabling deterministic EMI reduction and multi-phase interleaving in complex power systems.
How does the EXTVCC feature improve efficiency in the LTC3807HFE#TRPBF?
The EXTVCC feature in the LTC3807HFE#TRPBF allows the internal INTVCC LDO to be powered from an external regulated supply (e.g., the converter's own output) instead of VIN when EXTVCC exceeds 4.7V. This bypasses the VIN LDO's dropout loss, improving overall efficiency by up to 2.5% in high-input-voltage applications such as 48V telecom systems.
Can the LTC3807HFE#TRPBF operate in dropout mode, and what is its minimum on-time?
Yes, the LTC3807HFE#TRPBF supports dropout operation with up to 99% duty cycle. Its minimum on-time is 95ns, enabling stable regulation even when VIN is only slightly above VOUT - critical for applications like 12V input to 12V output with hold-up capacitors or automotive cold-crank scenarios.
What current sensing methods are supported by the LTC3807HFE#TRPBF?
The LTC3807HFE#TRPBF supports both RSENSE (shunt resistor) and DCR (inductor winding resistance) current sensing via its differential SENSE+ and SENSE– inputs. The ILIM pin selects one of three current sense thresholds (22mV/43mV/64mV), allowing optimization for different shunt values or DCR coefficients without changing external components.
