Product details
Overview
LTC3807HUDC#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 up to 750kHz phase-lockable switching, and features 50μA no-load IQ - optimized for automotive always-on systems and battery-powered digital devices.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3807HUDC#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3807HUDC#TRPBF pinout, LTC3807HUDC#TRPBF application, or LTC3807HUDC#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its wide input/output voltage range, selectable light-load modes (Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, forced CCM), OPTI-LOOP® compensation, and 20-pin 3mm × 4mm QFN package with exposed thermal pad.
Technical Context
The LTC3807HUDC#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode control architecture with an internal transconductance error amplifier (gm = 2 mmho) and precision 0.8V reference (±1.2mV over –40°C to 150°C). Its PLLIN/MODE pin selects among Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, or forced continuous conduction at light loads - each altering switching behavior without changing loop dynamics.
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, minimum on-time of 95ns, and programmable frequency (50–900kHz via FREQ pin resistor or external sync). The device uses RSENSE or DCR sensing and includes output overvoltage protection, power-good monitoring, and adjustable soft-start/tracking via the TRACK/SS pin.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 20-lead 3mm × 4mm plastic QFN (UDC) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 21 = SGND), rated for –40°C to 150°C operation. Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB ground plane for thermal performance (θJA = 43°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TRACK/SS (Pin 19) | Soft-start & tracking control input | Internal 10µA pull-up charges external capacitor for linear VOUT ramp; also accepts resistor-divider input to track another supply during startup. |
| FREQ (Pin 20) | Oscillator frequency programming | 20µA internal pull-up sets VCO voltage; resistor to GND selects 50–900kHz; tie to INTVCC/GND for fixed 535kHz/350kHz. |
| PLLIN/MODE (Pin 1) | Light-load mode & sync input | Pull to SGND → Burst Mode®; to INTVCC → forced CCM; to 1.2–(INTVCC–1.3)V → pulse-skipping; apply external clock → phase-locked operation. |
| SGND (Pins 2,3,21) | Small-signal ground reference | Must be routed separately from PGND; exposed pad (Pin 21) is SGND and must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and noise integrity. |
| RUN (Pin 4) | Enable/shutdown control | <1.16V disables regulation; <0.7V shuts down entire IC (IQ = 14µA); internal 7µA pull-up enables floating "always-on" configuration. |
| SENSE– / SENSE+ (Pins 5,6) | Differential current sense inputs | Measure voltage across RSENSE or DCR network; common-mode range up to 28V; bias current ±1µA minimizes sensing error. |
| VFB (Pin 7) | Feedback voltage input | Compares output divider voltage to 0.8V internal reference; ±5nA input current enables high-impedance dividers without gain error. |
| ITH (Pin 8) | Error amplifier output & compensation node | Controls peak inductor current; connects to RC/CC network for OPTI-LOOP® compensation across wide ESR/capacitance ranges. |
| PGOOD (Pin 9) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Pulls low when VFB deviates >±10% from setpoint; 2mA sink capability drives LED or microcontroller interrupt directly. |
| TG (Pin 10) | Top-gate driver output | Floating high-side driver with swing = INTVCC superimposed on SW node; 25ns rise/fall time into 3300pF load. |
| SW (Pin 11) | Switch node connection | Connects to drain of top MOSFET and inductor; voltage swings from ~0V to VIN; critical for layout to minimize ringing and EMI. |
| BOOST (Pin 12) | Bootstrap supply for TG driver | Capacitor between BOOST and SW provides floating bias; Schottky diode from BOOST to INTVCC prevents reverse discharge. |
| BG (Pin 13) | Bottom-gate driver output | Ground-referenced driver for synchronous N-MOSFET; 25ns rise/fall time; complements TG for efficient dead-time control. |
| INTVCC (Pin 14) | Internal LDO output (5.1V) | Powers gate drivers and control circuitry; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic decoupling to PGND; can be bypassed by EXTVCC ≥4.7V. |
| EXTVCC (Pin 15) | External bias input for INTVCC LDO | When ≥4.7V, disables VIN-based LDO and powers INTVCC from external source - improves efficiency in buck-derived bias schemes. |
| PGND (Pin 16) | Power ground return | Connects to source of bottom MOSFET and negative terminal of input capacitor; must be low-inductance path to minimize switching noise. |
| VIN (Pin 17) | Main input supply | Accepts 4V–38V; requires local ceramic bypass to SGND; absolute max 40V transient rating. |
| ILIM (Pin 18) | Current limit threshold select | Tie to SGND/FLOAT/INTVCC to set max sense voltage to 22/43/64mV (typical) - configures current foldback level without external components. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| OPTI-LOOP® Compensation | Enables stable loop response across wide output capacitance (10µF–1000µF) and ESR (0.5mΩ–100mΩ) without redesigning compensation network. |
| Selectably Optimized Light-Load Efficiency | Burst Mode® reduces IQ to 50µA while maintaining regulation; pulse-skipping balances ripple/noise; forced CCM eliminates subharmonics for sensitive analog loads. |
| 99% Maximum Duty Cycle | Supports ultra-low dropout operation - e.g., 12V→11.8V conversion at high load - critical for post-regulation in distributed power systems. |
| Programmable Current Limit with Foldback | Three ILIM-selectable thresholds (22/43/64mV) plus automatic foldback during short-circuit reduce MOSFET thermal stress without external sensing resistors. |
| Robust Automotive H-Grade Qualification | Specified and tested over –40°C to 150°C junction temperature; meets AEC-Q100 stress test requirements for under-hood deployment. |

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for the LTC3807HUDC#TRPBF?
The LTC3807HUDC#TRPBF is an H-grade part with a guaranteed operating junction temperature range of –40°C to 150°C. Its absolute maximum junction temperature is 150°C, and thermal design must ensure θJA = 43°C/W (QFN package) is maintained via proper PCB copper area and exposed pad soldering. Derating applies above 125°C for long-term reliability.
How does the LTC3807HUDC#TRPBF achieve 50μA quiescent current?
The LTC3807HUDC#TRPBF achieves 50μA no-load IQ through proprietary low-power biasing of its current-mode control loop and gate drivers, combined with intelligent sleep-mode activation when the ITH voltage drops below 0.425V. This occurs automatically in Burst Mode® operation at light loads, disabling non-essential circuitry while retaining regulation capability - a feature validated across –40°C to 150°C.
Can the LTC3807HUDC#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3807HUDC#TRPBF supports external synchronization via the PLLIN/MODE pin. When an external clock signal (75kHz–750kHz) is applied, the internal phase-locked loop aligns the rising edge of the TG signal to the rising edge of that clock, enabling deterministic switching and EMI reduction in multi-converter systems - a function confirmed in the functional diagram and electrical characteristics table.
What is the purpose of the EXTVCC pin on the LTC3807HUDC#TRPBF?
The EXTVCC pin on the LTC3807HUDC#TRPBF provides an alternative input to the internal LDO that powers INTVCC. When EXTVCC exceeds 4.7V, the device switches from VIN-derived to EXTVCC-derived biasing, improving overall efficiency - especially when using the LTC3807HUDC#TRPBF's own regulated output (e.g., 12V) as the EXTVCC source, eliminating losses from the VIN LDO.
Does the LTC3807HUDC#TRPBF support output voltage tracking during startup?
Yes, the LTC3807HUDC#TRPBF supports output voltage tracking via the TRACK/SS pin. By connecting an external resistor divider from a master supply to the TRACK/SS pin, the LTC3807HUDC#TRPBF regulates its VFB to match the TRACK/SS voltage - ensuring coordinated, controlled ramp-up of multiple rails without sequencing ICs or complex timing circuits.
