Product details
Overview
LTC3810HUH-5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a 60V input synchronous step-down switching regulator controller using constant on-time valley current mode control. It delivers precise 0.8V ±0.5% reference accuracy, supports up to 150°C junction temperature, and enables high-efficiency telecom and automotive power supplies without requiring a current sense resistor.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3810HUH-5#PBF datasheet, LTC3810HUH-5#PBF pinout, LTC3810HUH-5#PBF application, or LTC3810HUH-5#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, validated pin functions, confirmed thermal specifications for H-grade operation, and real-world design implications of its no-RSENSE architecture and 1Ω gate drivers.
Technical Context
The LTC3810HUH-5#PBF implements a constant on-time valley current mode control architecture with cycle-by-cycle current limiting, where inductor valley current is sensed directly across the bottom MOSFET's RDS(on) via SENSE+ and SENSE– pins. Its 25MHz error amplifier enables sub-microsecond load transient response, and the ITH pin serves dual roles as compensation node and current threshold control point.
Frequency is set by external resistor on ION pin (tON(MIN) < 100ns), with programmable synchronization via MODE/SYNC pin. Integrated bias control autonomously selects between EXTVCC and output-derived INTVCC for gate drive, while BGRTN pin allows negative return voltage to suppress Miller-induced shoot-through during high dV/dt transitions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | Up to 60V continuous - supports direct 48V telecom and 24V/36V automotive battery inputs without pre-regulation. |
| Reference Voltage Accuracy | ±0.5% at 0.8V over –40°C to +150°C - ensures tight output regulation across full industrial and automotive temperature range. |
| Gate Driver Strength | 1Ω pull-down RDS(ON) for both TG and BG outputs - enables fast slew rates for paralleled MOSFETs in high-current designs. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 32-lead 5mm × 5mm plastic QFN (UH package) with exposed SGND pad (Pin 33) requiring PCB soldering for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VON (Pin 2) | On-time voltage input | Sets fixed on-time duration; tied to INTVCC for high-VOUT applications to reduce RON dependency. |
| VRNG (Pin 3) | Sense voltage limit set | Programs maximum current sense threshold (70–384mV); determines cycle-by-cycle current limit level. |
| PGOOD (Pin 4) | Open-drain power good output | Pulled low when VFB deviates >±10% for ≥120µs - enables system-level fault sequencing and brown-out detection. |
| MODE/SYNC (Pin 5) | Pulse skip enable / external clock sync | Enables forced continuous mode (<0.8V) or pulse skip mode (>0.8V); accepts external clock for EMI-sensitive applications. |
| ITH (Pin 6) | Error amp compensation / current threshold | 0–2.6V control voltage sets valley current limit; also used for loop compensation with external RC network. |
| VFB (Pin 7) | Feedback input | Connects to resistor divider from VOUT to set regulated output; referenced to internal 0.8V precision bandgap. |
| PLL/LPF (Pin 8) | Phase-locked loop filter | Hosts external capacitor for PLL stability; defaults to 1.2V when not synchronized to external clock. |
| SS/TRACK (Pin 9) | Soft-start / tracking input | Capacitor-to-ground sets soft-start ramp (~0.6s/µF); resistive divider enables ratiometric tracking of secondary rails. |
| SHDN (Pin 12) | Shutdown control | Pulled low (<1.5V) disables all drivers and reduces supply current to 240µA - critical for low-power standby states. |
| UVIN (Pin 13) | Input undervoltage lockout | Resistive divider from VIN sets UVLO threshold (0.8V reference with 10% hysteresis) - prevents startup at unsafe input levels. |
| NDRV (Pin 14) | External pass device driver | Drives gate of NMOS pass transistor for INTVCC linear regulator - enables efficient bias generation from high VIN. |
| EXTVCC (Pin 15) | External driver supply | Switches INTVCC sourcing from NDRV to EXTVCC when >4.7V - improves efficiency by bypassing linear regulator losses. |
| INTVCC (Pin 16) | Main internal supply | Powers all analog and logic circuits except gate drivers; requires local 0.1µF bypass to SGND (Pin 10). |
| DRVCC (Pin 17) | Bottom gate driver supply | Supplies BG driver; typically tied to INTVCC but may be decoupled separately for noise isolation. |
| BG (Pin 18) | Bottom gate drive output | Drives source-connected N-channel MOSFET; swings from BGRTN to DRVCC - supports negative BGRTN for shoot-through immunity. |
| BGRTN (Pin 19) | Bottom gate return | Return path for BG driver; connection to negative supply mitigates Miller-induced false turn-on during SW node transitions. |
| SENSE– (Pin 20) | Current sense negative input | Kelvin-senses bottom-side of sense element (MOSFET or resistor) - eliminates PCB trace resistance errors. |
| SW (Pin 25) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and bootstrap capacitor; voltage swing from –0.7V (Schottky drop) to VIN - defines high-side floating domain. |
| TG (Pin 26) | Top gate drive output | Drives gate of high-side N-MOSFET; powered from BOOST and returns to SW - enables true floating drive topology. |
| BOOST (Pin 27) | Top gate driver supply | Charged via external diode from DRVCC during off-time; requires 0.1µF low-ESR ceramic to SW for stable bootstrapping. |
| ION (Pin 31) | On-time current input | Resistor from VIN sets one-shot timer current - directly programs switching frequency independent of VIN variation. |
| SGND (Pin 33) | Signal ground | Exposed pad; must be soldered to PCB plane - serves as reference for all small-signal pins and thermal dissipation path. |

The LTC3810HUH-5#PBF supports up to 60V continuous input voltage, with absolute maximum ratings allowing 80V for ≤400ms transients. This enables direct operation from 48V telecom buses and 24V/36V automotive batteries without pre-regulation stages. The controller maintains stable regulation across this full range using its constant on-time architecture and VIN-compensated frequency setting.
Does the LTC3810HUH-5#PBF require an external current sense resistor?
No, the LTC3810HUH-5#PBF does not require an external current sense resistor. It implements MOSFET RDS(on)-based current sensing via the SENSE+ and SENSE– pins, with the VRNG pin allowing adjustment of the current threshold from 70mV to 384mV. This eliminates power loss and board area associated with discrete sense resistors while maintaining accurate cycle-by-cycle current limiting.
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC3810HUH-5#PBF?
The LTC3810HUH-5#PBF is rated for a junction temperature range of –40°C to +150°C, corresponding to the H-grade qualification. This exceeds standard industrial and automotive requirements, enabling deployment in under-hood automotive applications and thermally constrained telecom base station enclosures without derating.
How does the LTC3810HUH-5#PBF achieve fast transient response?
The LTC3810HUH-5#PBF achieves fast transient response through its 25MHz error amplifier bandwidth and constant on-time valley current mode control. The high-bandwidth amplifier enables rapid correction of feedback errors, while the valley current sensing architecture provides inherent stability and immediate response to load steps - demonstrated in typical performance curves showing <10µs recovery from 50% load transients.
Can the LTC3810HUH-5#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3810HUH-5#PBF can be synchronized to an external clock via the MODE/SYNC pin. When driven with a logic-level signal, the internal phase-locked loop forces the rising edge of the top gate (TG) signal to align with the external clock's rising edge. This capability is essential for EMI-sensitive applications such as networking equipment, where deterministic switching frequency placement avoids interference with data transmission bands.
