Product details
Overview
LTC3810EG#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 100V synchronous step-down switching regulator controller using constant on-time valley current mode control. It delivers precise 0.5% DC output voltage regulation, supports up to 100V input, enables cycle-by-cycle current limiting without a sense resistor, and drives dual N-channel MOSFETs for telecom power supplies and automotive high-voltage DC/DC conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3810EG#PBF datasheet, LTC3810EG#PBF pinout, LTC3810EG#PBF application, or LTC3810EG#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 100V VIN capability, no-RSENSE current sensing, 25MHz error amplifier bandwidth, programmable frequency via ION resistor, and integrated bias control for EXTVCC/INTVCC supply management.
Technical Context
The LTC3810EG#PBF implements a constant on-time valley current mode architecture with a 25MHz error amplifier and internal 0.8V reference (±0.5% over temperature). Its one-shot timer sets minimum on-time (<100ns), while ION pin current (100–3000μA) and VON pin voltage (0.7V–2.4V) jointly determine switching frequency and duty-cycle stability across wide VIN ranges.
Fault protection includes cycle-by-cycle current limit (programmable via VRNG pin: 70–384mV), foldback current limiting during short-circuit, ±10% PGOOD monitoring with 120μs delay, and dual UVLO comparators (VIN at 0.8V threshold, INTVCC at 6.2V). Gate drivers deliver 1.5–2A peak source/sink with 1Ω pull-down RDS(ON) for both TG and BG outputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | Up to 100V - enables direct conversion from 48V telecom or 72V automotive battery rails without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±0.5% at 0.8V reference - ensures tight regulation for sensitive downstream loads like FPGAs or DSPs. |
| Error Amplifier Bandwidth | 25MHz - delivers extremely fast line/load transient response (e.g., 5A step in <50μs). |
| Minimum On-Time | <100ns - supports high VIN-to-low VOUT ratios (e.g., 75V→3.3V) at practical switching frequencies. |
| Gate Driver Strength | 1.5–2A peak, 1Ω pull-down - reliably drives multiple paralleled MOSFETs or high-Qg devices in high-current designs. |
| Current Sense Architecture | No external sense resistor required - uses MOSFET RDS(ON) sensing with adjustable threshold (70–384mV) via VRNG pin. |
| Shutdown Current | 240μA - minimizes system standby power in always-on automotive or industrial applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-pin plastic SSOP (G package), 0.025" pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC, thermal pad not present. Pin count and physical layout match Linear Technology's standard 28-SSOP footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ION (1) | On-Time Current Input | Sets nominal switching frequency via external resistor to VIN; 100–3000μA range adjusts tON from ~515ns to ~1.85μs. |
| VON (4) | On-Time Voltage Input | Defines comparator trip point (0.7V–2.4V); ties to VOUT or divider to make tON proportional to output voltage. |
| VRNG (5) | Sense Voltage Limit Set | Programs max current sense threshold (70–384mV) to set cycle-by-cycle current limit without RSENSE. |
| PGOOD (6) | Power Good Output | Open-drain signal pulled low if VFB deviates >±10% for ≥120μs - used for system sequencing and fault reporting. |
| MODE/SYNC (7) | Pulse Skip Enable / Clock Sync | Enables pulse skip (≥0.8V) or forces continuous mode/synchronizes to external clock (<0.8V or logic edge). |
| ITH (8) | Error Amp Compensation / Current Threshold | 0–2.6V control voltage sets valley current limit; 1.2V = zero current, rising voltage increases current limit. |
| VFB (9) | Feedback Input | Connects to resistor divider from VOUT; regulates output by servoing to internal 0.8V reference. |
| SS/TRACK (11) | Soft-Start / Tracking Input | Capacitor to ground sets soft-start ramp (~0.6s/μF); resistive divider enables ratiometric tracking of another rail. |
| SHDN (13) | Shutdown Control | Pull below 1.5V to disable all drivers and reduce IQ to 240μA - critical for low-power sleep states. |
| UVIN (14) | Input Undervoltage Monitor | Resistor divider from VIN sets UVLO threshold; internal 0.8V comparator with 10% hysteresis prevents brownout oscillation. |
| NDRV (15) | External Pass Device Drive | Drives gate of NMOS pass transistor for INTVCC linear regulator - enables efficient high-VIN startup. |
| EXTVCC (16) | External Driver Supply | When >6.7V, powers INTVCC/DRVCC via internal LDO and disables NDRV - simplifies supply sequencing. |
| INTVCC (17) | Main IC Supply | 6.35–14V supply for all internal circuitry except gate drivers; bypass with ≥0.1μF capacitor near pin. |
| DRVCC (18) | Driver Supply | Supplies BG driver; tied to INTVCC by default; bypass to BGRTN with 1μF low-ESR capacitor. |
| BG (19) | Bottom Gate Drive | Drives source-connected N-MOSFET; swings from BGRTN to DRVCC - supports negative BGRTN for dV/dt immunity. |
| BGRTN (20) | Bottom Gate Return | Return path for BG driver; connect to ground or negative supply to suppress Miller-induced shoot-through. |
| SENSE– (21) | Current Sense Negative | Kelvin connection to bottom of sense resistor or MOSFET source - enables accurate RDS(ON) sensing. |
| SW (26) | Switch Node | Connects to inductor and BOOST capacitor; voltage swings from ~−0.3V to VIN - defines floating domain for TG driver. |
| TG (27) | Top Gate Drive | Drives gate of high-side N-MOSFET; powered from BOOST and returns to SW - true floating drive for bootstrap operation. |
| BOOST (28) | Top Gate Driver Supply | Charged via external Schottky diode from DRVCC; bypass to SW with 0.1μF low-ESR capacitor. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3891EMSE#PBF | Higher 150V VIN rating; integrated 5V LDO for bias; no EXTVCC/NDRV pins; different pinout. | Supports wider input range and simpler biasing but lacks EXTVCC switchover flexibility and independent NDRV control. | Choose when input exceeds 100V or bias simplicity outweighs programmable supply architecture. |
| MP2918GL-Z | 60V max VIN; integrated MOSFET drivers only (no external FET control); fixed 0.6V reference; smaller 16-QFN package. | Targeted at lower-voltage, space-constrained applications; lacks high-voltage robustness and no-RSENSE flexibility. | Choose for cost-sensitive 12–48V systems where integration and footprint matter more than 100V operation. |
Compared with LTC3810EG#PBF, LTC3891EMSE#PBF extends input range and simplifies biasing but sacrifices EXTVCC/NDRV configurability, while MP2918GL-Z trades voltage capability and discrete FET control for integration and size - making LTC3810EG#PBF optimal for 100V, no-RSENSE, and flexible supply architectures.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC3810EG#PBF?
The LTC3810EG#PBF supports up to 100V input voltage, verified per Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This enables direct conversion from 48V telecom or 72V automotive battery rails without pre-regulation stages. Operation above 100V risks permanent damage and is outside guaranteed specifications.
Does the LTC3810EG#PBF require an external current sense resistor?
No, the LTC3810EG#PBF does not require an external current sense resistor. It implements no-RSENSE valley current sensing using the bottom MOSFET's RDS(ON), with programmable threshold (70–384mV) set via the VRNG pin. This eliminates sense resistor losses and PCB area while maintaining accurate cycle-by-cycle current limiting.
How does the LTC3810EG#PBF manage its internal supply voltages INTVCC and DRVCC?
The LTC3810EG#PBF uses integrated bias control to autonomously generate INTVCC and DRVCC. During startup, it derives power from VIN via the NDRV-controlled external NMOS. Once VOUT exceeds 6.7V, it switches to output-derived supply via EXTVCC. This dual-path architecture maximizes efficiency across operating conditions without external supervision.
Can the LTC3810EG#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3810EG#PBF can be synchronized to an external clock via the MODE/SYNC pin. When driven with a logic-level signal, its phase-locked loop aligns the rising edge of the top-gate (TG) signal to the external clock's rising edge - essential for EMI-sensitive applications like RF test equipment or automotive radar systems.
What protection features are built into the LTC3810EG#PBF?
The LTC3810EG#PBF integrates cycle-by-cycle current limiting, foldback current limiting during short-circuit, ±10% PGOOD monitoring with 120μs delay, input and INTVCC undervoltage lockout, output overvoltage protection, and thermal shutdown. These features reduce or eliminate the need for external protection circuitry in demanding applications.
