Product details
Overview
LTC7800HUDC#PBF from Analog Devices is a high-performance, low-quiescent-current synchronous step-down DC/DC controller driving all-N-channel MOSFETs. It operates from 4V to 60V input, delivers 0.8V–24V output, supports phase-lockable switching up to 2.25MHz, and features 50μA no-load IQ - enabling long battery runtime in automotive always-on systems and industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7800HUDC#PBF datasheet, LTC7800HUDC#PBF pinout, LTC7800HUDC#PBF application, or LTC7800HUDC#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 98% max duty cycle for ultra-low dropout operation, selectable light-load modes (Burst/Pulse-Skipping/Forced CCM), RSENSE or DCR current sensing, and precision 0.8V ±1.2mV reference with PGOOD monitoring.
Technical Context
The LTC7800HUDC#PBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode control architecture with an internal transconductance error amplifier (gm = 2 mmho) and programmable oscillator (320kHz–2.25MHz). Its OPTI-LOOP® compensation enables stable loop response across wide output capacitance and ESR ranges without external compensation redesign.
It integrates dual N-channel gate drivers (TG/BG) with matched 2.5Ω/1.5Ω pull-up/pull-down on-resistances, 25ns/16ns TG rise/fall times, and synchronous dead-time control (20ns min). The device uses internal LDOs to power INTVCC from VIN or EXTVCC (switchover at 4.7V), supporting efficient multi-rail power architectures.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 20-lead 3mm × 4mm QFN (UDC) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 21 = SGND), rated for –40°C to +150°C junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PLLIN/MODE (1) | Mode selection & sync input | Selects Burst Mode (GND), Pulse-Skipping (1.2V–INTVCC–1.3V), or Forced CCM (INTVCC); accepts external clock for PLL synchronization. |
| SGND (2,3,21) | Small-signal ground | Must be isolated from PGND; exposed pad soldered to PCB ground for θJA = 52°C/W thermal performance. |
| RUN (4) | Enable/shutdown control | 1.16V threshold shuts down regulation; 0.7V threshold disables INTVCC LDO, reducing IQ to 14μA. |
| SENSE– (5), SENSE+ (6) | Differential current sense inputs | Support RSENSE or DCR sensing; common-mode range up to 28V enables high-side sensing in buck converters. |
| VFB (7) | Feedback voltage input | Compares output voltage (via resistor divider) to 0.8V reference; ±5nA bias current minimizes divider error. |
| ITH (8) | Error amplifier output | Controls peak inductor current; gm = 2 mmho enables robust loop compensation with OPTI-LOOP®. |
| PGOOD (9) | Open-drain power-good flag | Pulls low when VFB deviates >10% from target - used for system power sequencing and fault reporting. |
| TG (10) | Top gate driver output | Floating driver with swing = INTVCC superimposed on SW node; 2.5Ω pull-up / 1.5Ω pull-down drives high-side MOSFET. |
| SW (11) | Switch node connection | Connects to inductor and BOOST capacitor; handles full switching voltage swing (0V to VIN). |
| BOOST (12) | Bootstrap supply | Charged via external diode/capacitor; voltage = INTVCC to (VIN + INTVCC) - enables high-side N-MOSFET drive. |
| BG (13) | Bottom gate driver output | Ground-referenced driver (0V to INTVCC); 2.4Ω pull-up / 1.1Ω pull-down drives synchronous rectifier. |
| INTVCC (14) | Internal LDO output | 5.1V ±0.25V regulated supply for logic and drivers; requires ≥2.2µF ceramic decoupling to PGND. |
| EXTVCC (15) | External LDO input | Enables bypass of VIN-powered LDO when >4.7V applied - improves efficiency in multi-output designs. |
| PGND (16) | Power ground return | Connects to bottom MOSFET source and CIN (–) - must be low-inductance path to minimize noise coupling. |
| VIN (17) | Main input supply | Accepts 4V–60V; requires local ceramic bypass to SGND pins to suppress high-frequency switching noise. |
| ILIM (18) | Current limit select | GND/FLOAT/INTVCC sets max sense threshold to 22/43/64mV - configures OCP level without changing RSENSE. |
| TRACK/SS (19) | Soft-start/tracking control | 10µA internal pull-up charges external capacitor for linear VOUT ramp; also accepts external voltage for supply tracking. |
| FREQ (20) | Oscillator frequency set | GND = 0.94MHz, INTVCC = 1.44MHz, resistor-to-GND programs 320kHz–2.25MHz - enables EMI optimization. |
Key Features

| 98% Max Duty Cycle with Dropout Detection | Prevents bootstrap capacitor depletion during sustained high-duty operation - maintains gate drive integrity even at VIN/VOUT = 10:1. |
| Triple-Range Adjustable Current Limit | 22mV/43mV/64mV thresholds via ILIM pin - allows precise OCP tuning while retaining same RSENSE value across product variants. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2918GL-Z | Lower max input (36V vs 60V); fixed 500kHz/1MHz freq; no PLL sync; 65μA IQ | Suitable for 24V industrial systems but not 48V telecom or automotive load dump | Choose MP2918GL-Z only if input <36V and PLL sync not required; verify thermal derating at 150°C. |
| TPS53679RSBT | Higher IQ (120μA); supports 3-phase interleaving; integrated MOSFET drivers only (no external FET control) | Targeted at CPU VRMs; lacks wide VIN, programmable freq, and EXTVCC flexibility | Use TPS53679RSBT for high-current digital loads where integrated FETs are acceptable; not drop-in for discrete FET designs. |
Compared with MP2918GL-Z and TPS53679RSBT, the LTC7800HUDC#PBF uniquely combines 60V input, 2.25MHz PLL sync, 50μA IQ, and EXTVCC support - making it optimal for high-reliability, thermally constrained, wide-input applications where discrete FET control and precise light-load behavior are mandatory.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for the LTC7800HUDC#PBF?
The LTC7800HUDC#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 65V on the VIN pin. Its operational input range is specified from 4V to 60V, ensuring compatibility with 48V telecom systems, 24V industrial buses, and automotive 12V/24V platforms including load dump conditions. Exceeding 65V risks permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
How does the ILIM pin affect current limiting on the LTC7800HUDC#PBF?
The ILIM pin on the LTC7800HUDC#PBF selects one of three maximum current sense thresholds: 22mV (ILIM = GND), 43mV (ILIM = FLOAT), or 64mV (ILIM = INTVCC). This directly sets the peak inductor current trip point without changing the sense resistor value - enabling flexible overcurrent protection tuning across design variants while maintaining consistent RSENSE layout.
Can the LTC7800HUDC#PBF operate with an external 5V supply on EXTVCC instead of VIN?
Yes, the LTC7800HUDC#PBF can be powered via EXTVCC. When EXTVCC exceeds 4.7V (with 250mV hysteresis), the internal LDO switches from VIN to EXTVCC to generate INTVCC. This improves overall system efficiency by avoiding losses in the VIN-based LDO - especially useful when powering INTVCC from a downstream converter output like 5V or 12V.
What is the purpose of the exposed thermal pad (Pin 21) on the LTC7800HUDC#PBF package?
The exposed thermal pad (Pin 21) on the LTC7800HUDC#PBF is electrically connected to SGND and must be soldered to a PCB copper pour for thermal and electrical performance. It reduces thermal resistance (θJA = 52°C/W) and ensures stable small-signal ground reference - critical for noise-sensitive current sensing and feedback accuracy. Leaving it unconnected degrades thermal performance and may cause regulation instability.
Does the LTC7800HUDC#PBF support output voltage tracking during startup?
Yes, the LTC7800HUDC#PBF supports output voltage tracking via the TRACK/SS pin. By connecting an external resistor divider from another supply to TRACK/SS, the LTC7800HUDC#PBF regulates VFB to match that voltage during startup - enabling coordinated ramping of multiple rails. An internal 10µA pull-up also allows soft-start via a single capacitor to SGND for monotonic VOUT rise.
