Product details
Overview
LTC7801IFE#PBF from Analog Devices is a high-voltage, low-quiescent-current synchronous step-down DC/DC controller driving all-N-channel MOSFETs with input voltage up to 140V, 0.8V–60V programmable output, and 40μA no-load IQ. It features OPTI-LOOP® compensation, phase-lockable 75kHz–850kHz operation, and 100% duty cycle capability via integrated charge pump - deployed in industrial power supplies and high-voltage battery systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7801IFE#PBF datasheet, LTC7801IFE#PBF pinout, LTC7801IFE#PBF application, or LTC7801IFE#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 140V max VIN rating, adjustable 5V–10V gate drive (OPTI-DRIVE), selectable light-load modes (Burst Mode®, pulse-skipping, forced continuous), precision 0.8V reference, and PGOOD indicator for system monitoring.
Technical Context
The LTC7801IFE#PBF implements constant-frequency current-mode control with an internal transconductance error amplifier (gm = 2 mmho) and programmable oscillator (50kHz–900kHz). Its dual-path DRVCC regulation supports internal VIN LDO, external NMOS NDRV LDO, or EXTVCC-sourced supply - enabling flexible high-efficiency gate drive across wide input ranges.
It integrates a charge pump for BOOST supply generation, eliminating external bootstrap diodes, and includes differential current sensing (SENSE+/SENSE–) with 66mV–84mV programmable threshold. The device supports three light-load operating modes selected via MODE pin voltage and features programmable UVLO/OVLO thresholds with hysteresis for robust fault protection.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4V to 140V - enables direct conversion from 48V telecom, 72V industrial, or 100V+ battery stacks without pre-regulation. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 60V - set by external resistor divider; supports 12V, 24V, 48V system rails and intermediate logic supplies. |
| No-Load Quiescent Current | 40μA - extends runtime in always-on battery-powered equipment such as remote sensors or backup power modules. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 75kHz to 850kHz (phase-lockable) - allows EMI optimization and compact magnetics design while maintaining stable loop response. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.800V ±0.8mV (0°C–85°C) - high-precision reference enables accurate output regulation across temperature and load conditions. |
| Gate Drive Voltage Range | 5V to 10V (programmable via DRVSET) - matches logic-level or standard-threshold MOSFETs to minimize conduction losses. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead plastic TSSOP (FE package), 4mm × 5mm footprint, exposed pad (Pin 25) soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance. θJA = 33°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 19) | Main input supply connection | Accepts 4V–140V input; bypassed to GND with ceramic capacitor for stability and noise suppression. |
| TG (Pin 13) | Top-gate driver output | Floating high-side driver delivering DRVCC-referenced swing to top N-MOSFET gate; requires BOOST–SW capacitor. |
| SW (Pin 14) | Switch node | Connection point between top/bottom MOSFETs and inductor; critical for layout to minimize ringing and EMI. |
| BG (Pin 16) | Bottom-gate driver output | Ground-referenced driver for synchronous rectifier; complements TG to enable 100% duty cycle operation. |
| SENSE+ / SENSE– (Pins 24/1) | Differential current sense inputs | Measure voltage across external sense resistor; enable accurate peak-current limiting and cycle-by-cycle protection. |
| VFB (Pin 1) | Feedback input | Compares divided output voltage against 0.8V internal reference; sets regulated output via external resistor divider. |
| PGOOD (Pin 9) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low when VFB deviates >±10% from target - used for sequencing, fault signaling, or system enable. |
| RUN (Pin 21) | Enable/shutdown control | Active-high; <1.12V disables switching, <0.7V enters ultra-low-IQ shutdown (10μA). |
| DRVSET (Pin 11) | DRVCC regulation programming | Sets gate drive voltage (5V–10V) via resistor-to-GND; determines MOSFET threshold compatibility and RDS(on) loss. |
| CPUMP_EN (Pin 7) | Charge pump enable | High = enables charge pump for 100% duty cycle in dropout; low = enables boost refresh for 99% duty cycle. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC7803IFE#PBF | Higher max frequency (1MHz), lower IQ (25μA), integrated MOSFET drivers with faster transition times (12ns rise/fall). | Optimized for higher-density, higher-frequency designs where board space and switching loss dominate. | Choose LTC7803IFE#PBF when targeting >500kHz operation with tighter EMI constraints and lower quiescent power. |
| LM5116MH/NOPB | Wider VIN range (6V–100V), fixed 100kHz–1MHz frequency, no charge pump (max 98% duty cycle), no OPTI-LOOP®. | Designed for cost-sensitive industrial converters where 100% duty cycle is not required and loop tuning is acceptable. | Choose LM5116MH/NOPB for simpler, lower-cost implementations where 140V tolerance and ultra-low IQ are not mandatory. |
Compared with LTC7801IFE#PBF, LTC7803IFE#PBF delivers higher frequency and lower IQ but lacks the same level of gate drive flexibility and 100% duty cycle assurance; LM5116MH/NOPB offers broader vendor support and lower unit cost but sacrifices high-voltage margin and advanced light-load efficiency features.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC7801IFE#PBF?
The LTC7801IFE#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 150V on the VIN pin, with a recommended operating range of 4V to 140V. This enables direct interface with 48V, 72V, and 100V+ battery or rectified AC systems without pre-regulation stages. Operation above 140V is limited by internal clamp structures and thermal constraints - sustained use beyond 140V may compromise reliability or lifetime.
Does the LTC7801IFE#PBF support 100% duty cycle operation, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the LTC7801IFE#PBF supports true 100% duty cycle operation via its integrated charge pump. To enable this feature, the CPUMP_EN pin (Pin 7) must be tied to INTVCC. When active, the charge pump generates the BOOST voltage needed to fully enhance the top N-MOSFET even when VIN ≈ VOUT - essential for maintaining regulation during input voltage dropout events in battery-powered systems.
How does the OPTI-LOOP® compensation work in the LTC7801IFE#PBF?
OPTI-LOOP® in the LTC7801IFE#PBF dynamically adjusts the error amplifier's transconductance and pole-zero placement based on external output capacitance and ESR values. By connecting a single capacitor from the ITH pin to ground, designers can stabilize the control loop across wide capacitor types (ceramic, polymer, electrolytic) and values (10µF–1000µF) without recalculating compensation networks - significantly reducing design iteration time.
Can the LTC7801IFE#PBF drive both logic-level and standard-threshold MOSFETs?
Yes, the LTC7801IFE#PBF supports both logic-level and standard-threshold N-channel MOSFETs through its programmable gate drive voltage (5V–10V), set by the DRVSET pin. A resistor from DRVSET to GND selects intermediate voltages (e.g., 6.4V or 9.0V), allowing optimal RDS(on) utilization and minimizing conduction losses across diverse FET families - unlike fixed-drive controllers that force trade-offs between speed and gate loss.
What are the key differences between the LTC7801IFE#PBF and LTC7803IFE#PBF?
The LTC7803IFE#PBF extends the LTC7801IFE#PBF's architecture with higher maximum frequency (1MHz vs. 850kHz), lower no-load IQ (25μA vs. 40μA), and faster gate drivers (12ns vs. 25ns rise time). However, LTC7801IFE#PBF retains advantages in gate drive flexibility (wider DRVCC range), charge pump robustness, and broader temperature-grade availability - making it preferred for high-reliability, high-voltage industrial applications.
