Product details
Overview
LTC7103RUHE-1#PBF from Analog Devices is a 105V, 2.3A monolithic synchronous step-down DC/DC regulator with average current mode control, operating from 4.4V to 105V input and delivering adjustable 1V–VIN output. It features 40ns minimum on-time, 100% duty cycle capability, and integrated current programming/monitoring without external sense resistors - enabling high-ratio conversion in automotive battery management and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7103RUHE-1#PBF datasheet, LTC7103RUHE-1#PBF pinout, LTC7103RUHE-1#PBF application, or LTC7103RUHE-1#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its CISPR 25-compliant low-EMI operation, programmable 200kHz–2MHz switching frequency, continuous inductor current mode support, and AEC-Q100 qualification in process for harsh-environment deployment.
Technical Context
The LTC7103RUHE-1#PBF implements constant-frequency average current mode control using internal top/bottom MOSFET current sensing and lossless inductor current reconstruction via RIND-based ramp generation. Its dual-loop architecture separates fast average current regulation (via ICTRL/IMON) from voltage loop compensation (via ITH or OPTI-LOOP®), enabling precise CC/CV control without external sense components.
It integrates two LDOs: a VIN-powered 3.5V INTVCC regulator and an EXTVCC-powered bypass LDO (3.1V–40V input), supporting bootstrapped efficiency optimization. The device supports three light-load modes (Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, forced continuous), PLL synchronization, and input/output overvoltage protection - all within a thermally enhanced 5mm × 6mm QFN package with exposed PGND pad.

Pinout & Package
Package: 36-lead (5mm × 6mm) plastic QFN with exposed PGND pad (Pin 37), rated for –40°C to +150°C junction temperature. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| RUN (3) | Enable control input | Holding <1.1V disables regulator; <0.7V reduces IQ to 0.7µA - enables precise undervoltage lockout via resistor divider |
| VIN (30,31,32) | Main power input | Supplies high-side MOSFET drain and powers INTVCC LDO - requires local ceramic decoupling to PGND |
| SW (24,25,26) | Power switch node | Connects internal top/bottom MOSFETs to external inductor - critical high-dI/dt path requiring tight layout |
| BOOST (27) | High-side gate drive supply | Bootstrapped rail generated via 0.1µF BST capacitor between BOOST and SW - enables 100% duty cycle operation |
| ICTRL (16) | Average current setpoint | 0.4V–1.3V input programs 0–2.5A average output current - internal 20µA pull-up enables single-resistor programming |
| IMON (17) | Current monitor output | 0.4V–1.3V analog voltage proportional to average output current - used for telemetry or closed-loop CC control |
| FREQ (11) | Switching frequency control | Sources 40µA; resistor to SGND sets 200kHz–2MHz - low capacitance required for Burst Mode stability |
| PLLIN/MODE (12) | Sync clock input / light-load mode select | Accepts external clock for phase alignment; tied to INTVCC/SGND/FLOAT to select forced continuous/pulse-skip/Burst Mode |
| PGND/Exposed Pad (35,36,37) | Power ground return | Primary thermal path and low-impedance return for high-current switches - must be solidly connected to PCB ground plane |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC7103RUHE-1#PBF?
The LTC7103RUHE-1#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 110V, with specified operation from 4.4V to 105V. This allows direct connection to 96V battery systems and tolerance of transient surges common in automotive and industrial environments. Operation beyond 105V is not guaranteed and may trigger internal protection circuits.
Does the LTC7103RUHE-1#PBF require an external current sense resistor?
No, the LTC7103RUHE-1#PBF does not require an external current sense resistor. It implements lossless average current sensing using internal MOSFET RDS(ON) monitoring and inductor current reconstruction. Current programming is achieved via the ICTRL pin (0.4V–1.3V), and monitoring via the IMON pin (0.4V–1.3V), both with ±3% accuracy over temperature.
How does the LTC7103RUHE-1#PBF achieve 100% duty cycle operation?
The LTC7103RUHE-1#PBF achieves 100% duty cycle operation through an internal charge pump that maintains BOOST-to-SW voltage during extended high-side MOSFET conduction. This enables PassThru™ mode, allowing VOUT to track VIN down to VOUT level - critical for maintaining regulation during cold-crank events in automotive systems.
What light-load efficiency modes does the LTC7103RUHE-1#PBF support?
The LTC7103RUHE-1#PBF supports three selectable light-load modes: Burst Mode® (lowest IQ, ~2µA), pulse-skipping (reduced ripple), and forced continuous conduction mode (best transient response). Mode selection is controlled via the PLLIN/MODE pin - tied to SGND (Burst), INTVCC (forced CCM), or pulled to INTVCC via 100kΩ (pulse-skipping).
Is the LTC7103RUHE-1#PBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LTC7103RUHE-1#PBF is undergoing AEC-Q100 qualification (Grade 1, –40°C to +125°C ambient) and features built-in protections essential for automotive use: input/output overvoltage protection, thermal shutdown, and robust 110V absolute maximum ratings. Its CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance further validates suitability for ECU and ADAS power designs.
