Product details
Overview
LTC7803EMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-performance, 100% duty cycle capable, synchronous step-down DC/DC controller driving all-N-channel MOSFETs. It operates from 4.5V to 40V input, delivers up to 40V output, achieves 12µA no-load quiescent current, and supports spread spectrum operation for EMI reduction - used in automotive power supplies requiring high efficiency and low noise.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7803EMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7803EMSE#TRPBF pinout, LTC7803EMSE#TRPBF application, or LTC7803EMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 3MHz programmable switching frequency, RSENSE/DCR current sensing flexibility, OPTI-LOOP compensation, PassThru™ capability, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The LTC7803EMSE#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency peak current mode control architecture with phase-lockable oscillator (100kHz–3MHz), enabling precise timing synchronization and jitter-controlled switching. Its dual-mode gate drivers support 100% duty cycle operation via internal charge pump, and it features independent INTVCC/EXTVCC LDOs for flexible biasing.
It integrates spread spectrum dithering on the oscillator to reduce conducted/ radiated EMI peaks, while OPTI-LOOP compensation allows stable loop response across wide output capacitance and ESR ranges. Light-load behavior is configurable via MODE pin: Burst Mode (12µA IQ), pulse-skipping, or forced continuous conduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 40V - supports wide-range industrial and automotive battery inputs including 12V, 24V, and 36V systems. |
| No-Load Quiescent Current | 12µA at 14VIN → 3.3VOUT - extends runtime in always-on battery-powered modules. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 100kHz–3MHz (via FREQ pin resistor) - enables compact magnetics and noise shaping for EMI compliance. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.792V to 0.808V (typ. 0.800V) - sets accurate output regulation with ±1% tolerance over temperature. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 45mV to 55mV (typ. 50mV) - supports low-loss RSENSE or DCR sensing with minimal power loss. |
| Shutdown Current | 1.2µA - ensures ultra-low leakage during system sleep or standby states. |

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP (3mm × 4.9mm), thermally enhanced with exposed GND pad (Pin 17) requiring PCB soldering for thermal performance (θJA = 40°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TRACK/SS (Pin 1) | Soft-start & tracking input | Internal 12.5µA pull-up charges external capacitor for linear VOUT ramp; enables supply tracking during startup. |
| SENSE+ / SENSE− (Pins 2, 3) | Differential current sense inputs | Measure voltage across RSENSE or inductor DCR to set peak current limit; SENSE− also sources sleep-mode current. |
| VFB (Pin 4) | Error amplifier feedback input | Compares output divider voltage to 0.8V reference; determines regulated output voltage accuracy and stability. |
| ITH (Pin 5) | Error amplifier output & compensation node | Controls current comparator threshold; connects to RC network for OPTI-LOOP compensation tuning. |
| RUN (Pin 6) | Enable/shutdown control | 1.2V rising threshold enables operation; <0.7V forces shutdown (1.2µA IQ); supports UVLO implementation. |
| FREQ (Pin 7) | VCO frequency programming | GND = 375kHz, INTVCC = 2.25MHz; resistor-to-GND sets 100kHz–3MHz - enables EMI optimization and layout flexibility. |
| PLLIN/SPREAD (Pin 8) | Synchronization & spread spectrum select | External clock input for phase-locking; tied to INTVCC enables spread spectrum dithering to reduce EMI peaks. |
| MODE (Pin 9) | Light-load operation mode select | GND = Burst Mode (12µA IQ), INTVCC = forced CCM, resistor-to-INTVCC = pulse-skipping - balances efficiency vs. ripple. |
| INTVCC (Pin 10) | Internal 5.15V LDO output | Powers gate drivers and analog circuitry; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic decoupling to GND for stability. |
| EXTVCC (Pin 11) | External bias input for INTVCC LDO | Enables high-efficiency bypass of VIN LDO when >4.7V applied - reduces total input current in multi-rail systems. |
| VIN (Pin 12) | Main input supply | Bias source for internal VIN LDO; requires local ceramic bypass capacitor to GND for noise suppression. |
| BG (Pin 13) | Bottom N-MOSFET gate driver | Drives synchronous rectifier with rail-to-rail swing (GND to INTVCC); supports high-side/lower-side FET pairing. |
| BOOST (Pin 14) | Bootstrap supply for top gate driver | Connects to SW via capacitor; Schottky diode to INTVCC enables 100% duty cycle via internal charge pump. |
| TG (Pin 15) | Top N-MOSFET gate driver | Floating driver output (SW + INTVCC swing); drives high-side FET with fast rise/fall times (25ns/15ns). |
| SW (Pin 16) | Switch node connection | Connects to inductor and BOOST capacitor; high dv/dt node requiring careful PCB layout and grounding. |
| GND (Pin 17) | Power & signal ground | Exposed thermal pad - must be soldered to PCB plane for thermal management and low-noise small-signal referencing. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2918GQ-Z | Lower max input (30V), no spread spectrum, fixed 600kHz/1.2MHz options only, no PLLIN sync. | Targeted at cost-sensitive industrial SMPS; lacks automotive qualification and EMI features. | Choose MP2918GQ-Z only if input ≤30V, EMI requirements are relaxed, and AEC-Q100 is not required. |
| ISL81601FRZ-T7A | Wider input (4.5V–60V), dual-phase capable, no integrated spread spectrum, higher IQ (25µA). | Designed for high-power server/telecom PSUs; lacks automotive qualification and soft-start tracking. | Choose ISL81601FRZ-T7A for >40V input or multiphase scaling; avoid where EMI or automotive qualification is mandatory. |
Compared with MP2918GQ-Z and ISL81601FRZ-T7A, the LTC7803EMSE#TRPBF uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, spread spectrum, 100% duty cycle, and sub-15µA IQ - making it the only option meeting stringent automotive EMI and cold-crank requirements in a single MSOP package.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC7803EMSE#TRPBF?
The LTC7803EMSE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input supply voltage (VIN) rating of 40V. Its operational input range is specified from 4.5V to 40V, making it suitable for 12V, 24V, and 36V automotive and industrial bus systems. Exceeding 40V may cause permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the LTC7803EMSE#TRPBF support 100% duty cycle operation, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LTC7803EMSE#TRPBF supports true 100% duty cycle operation via its internal charge pump connected to the BOOST pin. When VIN approaches VOUT, the controller activates the charge pump to maintain gate drive for the top N-MOSFET, enabling dropout-free PassThru™ operation - critical for automotive cold-crank conditions.
How does spread spectrum operation reduce EMI in the LTC7803EMSE#TRPBF?
The LTC7803EMSE#TRPBF implements frequency dithering by modulating the oscillator center frequency up to ±10% around its nominal value when PLLIN/SPREAD is tied to INTVCC. This spreads energy across a wider bandwidth, reducing peak conducted and radiated emissions by >10dB - easing compliance with CISPR 25 and FCC standards without additional filtering.
What package type and thermal characteristics apply to the LTC7803EMSE#TRPBF?
The LTC7803EMSE#TRPBF uses a 16-lead plastic MSOP package with exposed GND pad (Pin 17). Its thermal resistance is θJA = 40°C/W and θJC = 10°C/W. The exposed pad must be soldered to a PCB thermal plane to achieve rated performance and ensure reliable operation at full load within –40°C to +125°C junction temperature range.
Can the LTC7803EMSE#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what pins are involved?
Yes, the LTC7803EMSE#TRPBF supports external synchronization via the PLLIN/SPREAD pin (Pin 8). Applying a clean external clock signal (0.1MHz–3MHz) to this pin locks the rising edge of the TG signal to the external clock's rising edge. The FREQ pin remains functional for fine-tuning within the locked range.
