Product details
Overview
LTC7801IUFD#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 support up to 140V, 0.8V–60V programmable output, and 40μA no-load IQ. It features OPTI-LOOP® compensation, phase-lockable 75kHz–850kHz switching, and 100% duty cycle operation via integrated charge pump - enabling use in high-voltage battery systems and telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7801IUFD#PBF datasheet, LTC7801IUFD#PBF pinout, LTC7801IUFD#PBF application, or LTC7801IUFD#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 24-pin 4mm × 5mm QFN package, dual LDO options for DRVCC (VIN/NDRV/EXTVCC), selectable gate drive UVLO thresholds, and Burst Mode®/pulse-skipping/forced continuous light-load operation modes.
Technical Context
The LTC7801IUFD#PBF implements a constant-frequency current-mode control architecture with an internal transconductance error amplifier (gm = 2 mmho), precision 0.8V reference (±0.8% over temperature), and differential current-sense comparator with 66–84mV max threshold. Its phase-locked loop accepts external clocks from 75kHz to 850kHz and supports synchronization without mode disruption.
It integrates three independent DRVCC regulation paths - internal VIN-based LDO, external NMOS NDRV LDO, and EXTVCC-powered LDO - with switchover thresholds programmable via DRVUV pin (4.7V/7.7V). Gate drive logic includes programmable TG/BG on-resistance (2.2Ω/2.0Ω pull-up), <80ns minimum top-gate on-time, and built-in bootstrap switch eliminating external diode requirements.

Pinout & Package
Package: 24-lead (4mm × 5mm) plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 25 = GND). Must be soldered to PCB ground plane for rated electrical and thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 17) | Main input supply connection | Accepts 4V–140V input; bypass capacitor required between VIN and GND for stability and noise suppression. |
| TG (Pin 13) | Top gate driver output | Floating high-side driver with DRVCC-referenced swing; drives external high-side N-MOSFET gate. |
| SW (Pin 14) | Switch node | Connects to inductor and source of bottom MOSFET; critical for layout due to high dv/dt switching node. |
| BG (Pin 16) | Bottom gate driver output | Ground-referenced driver for synchronous rectifier N-MOSFET; complements TG for efficient buck topology. |
| BOOST (Pin 15) | Bootstrap supply node | Capacitor-connected to SW; provides floating bias for TG driver; voltage swing = DRVCC to (VIN + DRVCC). |
| SENSE+ / SENSE– (Pins 22/23) | Differential current sense inputs | Monitor inductor current via 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 voltage with ±0.8% accuracy. |
| ITH (Pin 2) | Error amplifier output | Controls current comparator trip point; used for loop compensation and transient response tuning via OPTI-LOOP®. |
| RUN (Pin 19) | Enable/shutdown control | 1.12V ON threshold; 0.7V deep shutdown (10μA IQ); supports sequencing and system-level power management. |
| PGOOD (Pin 9) | Open-drain power-good indicator | Asserts low when VFB deviates >±10% from setpoint; enables downstream power sequencing and fault reporting. |
| DRVCC (Pin 17) | Gate driver supply output | Regulated output (5V–10V) powering TG/BG drivers; sourced from VIN, NDRV, or EXTVCC LDOs depending on configuration. |
| EXTVCC (Pin 18) | External driver supply input | Enables DRVCC sourcing from external rail (7V–13V); activates switchover at 4.7V/7.7V based on DRVUV setting. |
| NDRV (Pin 16) | External NMOS pass device driver | Drives gate of external NFET for low-dropout DRVCC generation from VIN; disabled when tied to DRVCC. |
| CPUMP_EN (Pin 7) | Charge pump enable | INTVCC = 100% duty cycle; GND = 99% duty cycle; essential for ultra-low-VOUT operation in dropout condition. |
| MODE (Pin 5) | Light-load operation mode select | GND = Burst Mode®; 0.5V–1.0V = adjustable burst clamp; INTVCC = forced continuous; >1.4V = pulse-skipping. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8390AEMSE#PBF | Higher 60V max VIN, integrated 6A power switches, fixed 2.2MHz frequency, no EXTVCC option. | Targets lower-voltage, higher-integration designs where board space is constrained and 140V input not required. | Choose LT8390A when integrating power stages saves layout complexity and 60V input suffices; avoid for >60V or 100% duty cycle needs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC7801IUFD#PBF?
The LTC7801IUFD#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 150V, with a specified operating range of 4V to 140V. This makes the LTC7801IUFD#PBF suitable for high-voltage industrial and telecom applications where input transients or wide bus ranges must be accommodated without derating.
Does the LTC7801IUFD#PBF support 100% duty cycle operation, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the LTC7801IUFD#PBF supports true 100% duty cycle operation via its integrated charge pump. To enable it, the CPUMP_EN pin (Pin 7) must be tied to INTVCC. When CPUMP_EN is grounded, the device defaults to 99% duty cycle. This capability is essential for high-input-to-low-output voltage conversion in dropout conditions.
How is the gate drive voltage (DRVCC) programmed on the LTC7801IUFD#PBF?
The LTC7801IUFD#PBF allows precise programming of DRVCC from 5V to 10V using a single resistor between the DRVSET pin (Pin 9) and GND. For example, a 70kΩ resistor sets DRVCC to 7.0V. This adjustment directly impacts MOSFET switching losses and conduction efficiency, enabling optimization for specific FET characteristics.
What are the supported light-load operating modes of the LTC7801IUFD#PBF, and how are they selected?
The LTC7801IUFD#PBF offers three light-load modes: Burst Mode® (lowest IQ), pulse-skipping (low output ripple), and forced continuous (best noise performance). Selection is made via the MODE pin (Pin 5): GND = Burst Mode®, 0.5V–1.0V = adjustable burst clamp, INTVCC = forced continuous, >1.4V = pulse-skipping. Each mode preserves regulation integrity while optimizing trade-offs.
Can the LTC7801IUFD#PBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what is the supported frequency range?
Yes, the LTC7801IUFD#PBF supports external synchronization via the PLLIN pin (Pin 6). It accepts external clock signals from 75kHz to 850kHz and maintains the selected light-load mode (Burst, pulse-skipping, or forced continuous) during synchronization - ensuring deterministic timing and EMI control without compromising efficiency or regulation.
