Product details
Overview
LTC7803HMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a high-performance, 100% duty cycle capable, synchronous step-down DC/DC controller driving all-N-channel MOSFET stages. 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 - deployed in automotive infotainment power rails and industrial 24V-to-3.3V point-of-load conversion.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7803HMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7803HMSE#TRPBF pinout, LTC7803HMSE#TRPBF application, or LTC7803HMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 40V input rating, 12µA IQ, 3MHz programmable switching frequency, AEC-Q100 H-grade qualification (–40°C to 150°C), and MSOP-16 thermally enhanced package with exposed GND pad.
Technical Context
The LTC7803HMSE#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency peak current mode architecture with OPTI-LOOP compensation, enabling stable transient response across wide output capacitance and ESR ranges. Its dual-mode gate drivers (TG/BG) support 100% duty cycle via internal charge pump, eliminating dropout at low VIN/VOUT ratios.
Spread spectrum dithering is enabled by tying PLLIN/SPREAD to INTVCC, reducing peak conducted/radiated noise without external components. Light-load behavior is configurable via MODE pin: Burst Mode (12µA IQ), pulse-skipping, or forced continuous conduction - each with distinct efficiency vs. ripple trade-offs confirmed in Figure G01–G03.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 40V - supports direct connection to 24V/36V industrial and automotive battery rails without pre-regulation. |
| No-Load Quiescent Current | 12µA at 14VIN → 3.3VOUT - enables multi-day runtime in always-on battery-powered systems. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 100kHz–3MHz (via FREQ pin resistor) - allows optimization of size (high-freq) vs. efficiency (low-freq) in compact layouts. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 40V - supports both low-voltage logic rails and high-voltage analog subsystems from single controller. |
| Current Sensing | RSENSE or DCR - enables flexible, accurate inductor current monitoring with minimal BOM cost or board area. |
| Thermal Rating | –40°C to +150°C junction (H-grade) - qualified per AEC-Q100 for under-hood automotive applications. |
| Package | 16-pin MSOP with exposed thermal pad - provides θJA = 40°C/W for reliable high-current operation without heatsink. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP (MSE), 3mm × 4.9mm, exposed GND pad (Pin 17) requiring PCB soldering for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TRACK/SS (Pin 1) | Soft-start & tracking input | Internal 12.5µA pull-up charges external capacitor; sets linear VOUT ramp time (0.65ms/10nF) or enables supply tracking. |
| SENSE+ / SENSE– (Pins 2,3) | Differential current sense inputs | Measure voltage across RSENSE or DCR; trip threshold scales with ITH voltage (45–55mV typ) for precise overcurrent protection. |
| VFB (Pin 4) | Error amplifier feedback input | Regulates output to 0.800V reference; external resistor divider sets VOUT with ±1.5% accuracy over temperature. |
| ITH (Pin 5) | Error amplifier output & compensation node | Controls peak inductor current; connects to RC/CC network for loop stability across load/capacitance variations. |
| RUN (Pin 6) | Enable/shutdown control | 1.2V threshold enables regulation; <0.7V forces 1.2µA shutdown - usable as UVLO with external resistor divider off VIN. |
| FREQ (Pin 7) | VCO frequency programming | GND = 375kHz, INTVCC = 2.25MHz, resistor-to-GND = 100kHz–3MHz - enables EMI tuning without changing layout. |
| PLLIN/SPREAD (Pin 8) | Sync input / spread spectrum select | Tie to INTVCC for EMI-reducing dithering; apply external clock for phase-locking to system master clock. |
| MODE (Pin 9) | Light-load operation mode select | GND = Burst Mode (12µA IQ), INTVCC = forced CCM, 100kΩ-to-INTVCC = pulse-skipping - user-selectable efficiency/ripple balance. |
| INTVCC (Pin 10) | Internal 5.15V LDO output | Powers gate drivers and control logic; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic decoupling to GND for stability and noise immunity. |
| 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 circuits when EXTVCC not used; requires local ceramic bypass to GND near pin. |
| BG (Pin 13) | Bottom N-MOSFET gate driver | Drives synchronous rectifier from GND to INTVCC; 1.5Ω pull-down ensures fast turn-off and prevents shoot-through. |
| BOOST (Pin 14) | Bootstrap supply for top driver | Charged via external Schottky diode from INTVCC; supports 100% duty cycle via integrated charge pump during dropout. |
| TG (Pin 15) | Top N-MOSFET gate driver | Floating driver with INTVCC swing superimposed on SW node; 3Ω pull-up enables fast turn-on of high-side switch. |
| SW (Pin 16) | Switch node connection | Connects to inductor and BOOST capacitor; high dv/dt node requiring tight layout and ground plane separation. |
| GND (Pin 17) | Power & signal ground | Exposed thermal pad must be soldered to PCB copper pour; serves as return for CIN, COUT, and all small-signal references. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| 100% Duty Cycle Capability | Integrated charge pump maintains TG drive during VIN ≈ VOUT dropout - eliminates need for external boost circuitry in wide-input applications. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC7803HMSE#TRPBF?
The LTC7803HMSE#TRPBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 40V on the VIN pin, with guaranteed operation from 4.5V to 40V. This allows direct interface with 24V and 36V industrial and automotive battery systems, including transient conditions up to 40V without external clamping.
Does the LTC7803HMSE#TRPBF support 100% duty cycle operation, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LTC7803HMSE#TRPBF supports true 100% duty cycle operation via an integrated charge pump that sustains TG gate drive during dropout conditions. When VIN approaches VOUT, the internal charge pump maintains BOOST voltage above SW, enabling continuous top-FET conduction - confirmed in the datasheet's "Boost Supply and Dropout" section.
How does spread spectrum operation reduce EMI in the LTC7803HMSE#TRPBF?
The LTC7803HMSE#TRPBF reduces peak radiated and conducted EMI by modulating its switching frequency ±10% around the nominal value when PLLIN/SPREAD is tied to INTVCC. This dithering spreads energy across a wider bandwidth, lowering spectral peaks by >10dB - verified in typical performance plots G25 and application note AN142.
What is the significance of the H-grade temperature rating for the LTC7803HMSE#TRPBF?
The H-grade designation means the LTC7803HMSE#TRPBF is fully specified and tested over –40°C to +150°C junction temperature, and qualified per AEC-Q100 for automotive use. This enables deployment in under-hood applications such as engine control units and ADAS sensors where ambient temperatures exceed 125°C.
Can the LTC7803HMSE#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock, and which pin controls this?
Yes, the LTC7803HMSE#TRPBF can be synchronized to an external clock applied to the PLLIN/SPREAD pin (Pin 8). When an external clock is present, the internal phase-locked loop aligns the rising edge of the TG signal to the external clock's rising edge - enabling deterministic timing in multi-rail systems and reducing beat frequencies.
