Product details
Overview
LTC7803EUD#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 LTC7803EUD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7803EUD#TRPBF pinout, LTC7803EUD#TRPBF application, or LTC7803EUD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria 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 LTC7803EUD#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency peak current mode architecture with phase-lockable oscillator (100kHz–3MHz), enabling precise timing control and synchronization across multi-rail systems. Its dual-mode gate drivers support both continuous conduction and burst/pulse-skipping light-load operation via the MODE pin.
It integrates an internal 5.15V INTVCC LDO powered either from VIN or external EXTVCC ≥4.7V, plus a charge pump enabling true 100% duty cycle operation during dropout. Spread spectrum dithering on PLLIN/SPREAD reduces conducted/EMI peaks without altering average frequency.

| No-Load Quiescent Current | 12µA at 14VIN → 3.3VOUT - extends runtime in always-on battery-powered modules like telematics or ADAS sensors. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 100kHz to 3MHz - enables compact magnetics and avoids AM band interference; phase-lockable for system-level clock alignment. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 40V - configurable via external resistor divider; supports both low-voltage logic rails and high-voltage analog subsystems. |
| Current Sensing | RSENSE or DCR - allows flexible, cost-optimized sensing with minimal board area impact and no added resistive loss in DCR mode. |
| Spread Spectrum | Enabled via PLLIN/SPREAD = INTVCC - reduces peak EMI by ±10% frequency dithering, easing compliance with CISPR 25 Class 5. |
| Shutdown Current | 1.2µA - ensures ultra-low leakage during vehicle sleep modes, critical for meeting ISO 16750-2 quiescent current limits. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin (3mm × 3mm) plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). Thermally enhanced for high-power density applications; requires soldered exposed pad for rated θJA = 68°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

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 | Fixed 600kHz frequency; no spread spectrum; 2.5µA shutdown IQ; supports only RSENSE sensing. | Lacks phase-lock and EMI-reduction features; limited to non-automotive industrial use due to no AEC-Q100 rating. | Choose when cost sensitivity outweighs EMI and automotive qualification requirements. |
| TPS53679RSBT | Integrated MOSFETs (30A); fixed 500kHz/750kHz options; no 100% duty cycle; 15µA no-load IQ. | Not a controller-only solution - unsuitable where discrete high-current FETs or PassThru™ are required. | Prefer for compact, lower-component-count designs where integrated power stage suffices and dropout operation is not needed. |
Compared with MP2918GQ-Z and TPS53679RSBT, the LTC7803EUD#TRPBF uniquely combines AEC-Q100 qualification, programmable 100kHz–3MHz frequency with spread spectrum, and true 100% duty cycle - making it the only viable choice for automotive and high-reliability industrial buck controllers demanding EMI compliance and cold-crank robustness.

FAQ
What is the maximum supported switching frequency for LTC7803EUD#TRPBF?
The LTC7803EUD#TRPBF supports a programmable switching frequency from 100kHz to 3MHz. When the FREQ pin is tied to INTVCC, it operates at a fixed high frequency of 2.25MHz; with RFREQ = 12.5kΩ to GND, it achieves 3MHz. This high-frequency capability enables compact magnetic design and avoids sensitive frequency bands in automotive and telecom applications.
Does LTC7803EUD#TRPBF support 100% duty cycle operation, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LTC7803EUD#TRPBF supports true 100% duty cycle operation via its integrated charge pump, which sustains gate drive for the top N-channel MOSFET even when VIN approaches VOUT. This PassThru™ feature is critical for automotive cold-crank scenarios where input voltage may dip below regulated output, ensuring uninterrupted power delivery without dropout-induced reset.
How does spread spectrum operation reduce EMI in LTC7803EUD#TRPBF?
The LTC7803EUD#TRPBF implements spread spectrum by dithering its oscillator frequency ±10% around the programmed center frequency when PLLIN/SPREAD is tied to INTVCC. This spreads energy across a wider bandwidth, reducing peak conducted and radiated emissions - directly easing compliance with stringent automotive EMI standards like CISPR 25 Class 5 without additional shielding or filtering components.
What are the light-load operation modes supported by LTC7803EUD#TRPBF, and how are they selected?
The LTC7803EUD#TRPBF supports three light-load modes: Burst Mode (MODE = GND), pulse-skipping (MODE = INTVCC via 100kΩ), and forced continuous conduction (MODE = INTVCC). Each mode balances efficiency vs. output ripple - Burst Mode achieves <12µA input current but introduces low-frequency ripple; forced continuous eliminates ripple at the cost of higher quiescent loss.
Is LTC7803EUD#TRPBF qualified for automotive applications, and what grade does it meet?
Yes, the LTC7803EUD#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications and specified for the E-grade temperature range (–40°C to +125°C junction). Its QFN package, robust EMI performance, ultra-low shutdown current (1.2µA), and 100% duty cycle capability make it suitable for engine control units, ADAS cameras, and infotainment systems deployed in harsh automotive environments.
