Product details
Overview
LTC7803HUD#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 - ideal for automotive infotainment power supplies requiring low IQ and robust noise immunity.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7803HUD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7803HUD#TRPBF pinout, LTC7803HUD#TRPBF application, or LTC7803HUD#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 thermal reliability.
Technical Context
The LTC7803HUD#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency peak current mode control architecture with phase-lockable oscillator (100kHz–3MHz), enabling precise timing synchronization in multi-rail systems. Its dual-mode gate drivers support both high-side (TG) and low-side (BG) N-MOSFETs with 3Ω pull-up/pull-down resistance and sub-25ns transition times.
It integrates an internal 5.15V INTVCC LDO powered either from VIN or EXTVCC (switchover at 4.7V), plus a charge pump enabling true 100% duty cycle operation during dropout. Spread spectrum dithering is activated via PLLIN/SPREAD = INTVCC, reducing peak conducted/radiated emissions without external components.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 40V - supports wide automotive battery transients (cold crank, load dump) without external pre-regulation. |
| No-Load Quiescent Current | 12µA at 14VIN/3.3VOUT - extends runtime in always-on vehicle modules like telematics or ADAS sensors. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 100kHz to 3MHz (programmable via FREQ pin resistor) - enables compact magnetics and avoids AM band interference. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.792V to 0.808V (±1.5% over temp) - sets precise output regulation with minimal error amplifier drift. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 45mV to 55mV max - allows accurate current limiting with low-value, low-power sense resistors or DCR sensing. |
| Shutdown Current | 1.2µA - ensures ultra-low leakage during system sleep states compliant with ISO 16750-2. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +150°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade H for under-hood automotive applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin (3mm × 3mm) plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). Thermally enhanced for 4.2°C/W junction-to-case resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TG (Pin 1) | Top Gate Driver Output | Floating high-side driver output referenced to SW node; drives N-MOSFET gate with INTVCC swing above SW. |
| SW (Pin 2) | Switch Node | Connection point between TG and BG outputs and external inductor; critical for bootstrap capacitor recharge path. |
| TRACK/SS (Pin 3) | Soft-Start & Tracking Input | Internal 12.5µA pull-up charges external capacitor for controlled VOUT ramp; also enables supply tracking during startup. |
| SENSE+ (Pin 4) | Current Sense Positive Input | Differential input to current comparator; used with SENSE– to detect inductor current via RSENSE or DCR. |
| SENSE– (Pin 5) | Current Sense Negative Input | Reference input for current sensing; supplies sleep-mode bias current when ≥3.2V, reducing VIN-referred IQ. |
| VFB (Pin 6) | Error Amplifier Feedback | Compares output voltage (via resistor divider) to 0.8V reference; primary regulation node for closed-loop stability. |
| ITH (Pin 7) | Error Amplifier Output | Transconductance amplifier output controlling peak current limit; compensation network connects here to GND. |
| RUN (Pin 8) | Enable/Shutdown Control | Logic-level input: <1.1V disables regulation; <0.7V shuts down INTVCC LDO and reduces IQ to 1.2µA. |
| FREQ (Pin 9) | Frequency Programming | Resistor-to-GND sets VCO frequency from 100kHz to 3MHz; tie to INTVCC for 2.25MHz fixed operation. |
| PLLIN/SPREAD (Pin 10) | Synchronization & Spread Spectrum | Accepts external clock for phase-locking; tied to INTVCC enables spread spectrum; tied to GND disables dithering. |
| MODE (Pin 11) | Light-Load Operation Mode | Selects Burst Mode (GND), pulse-skipping (100kΩ to INTVCC), or forced continuous (INTVCC). |
| INTVCC (Pin 12) | Internal LDO Output | 5.15V regulated supply for gate drivers and logic; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic decoupling to GND. |
| EXTVCC (Pin 13) | External Bias Input | Enables alternate LDO path for INTVCC when >4.7V applied; bypasses VIN LDO to improve efficiency. |
| VIN (Pin 14) | Main Input Supply | Bias input for internal circuits and VIN LDO; requires local ceramic bypass capacitor to GND. |
| BG (Pin 15) | Bottom Gate Driver Output | Low-side N-MOSFET gate driver referenced to GND; swings from GND to INTVCC. |
| BOOST (Pin 16) | Bootstrap Supply | Charged via external Schottky diode from INTVCC; provides floating bias for TG driver during high-side conduction. |
| GND (Pin 17) | Power & Signal Ground | Exposed thermal pad; must be soldered to PCB plane for thermal performance and low-noise small-signal grounding. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous buck controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC7804HUD#TRPBF | Higher 5MHz max frequency; integrated MOSFET drivers optimized for lower RDS(on) FETs; no spread spectrum. | Better suited for ultra-compact, high-density 5V/3.3V point-of-load designs where EMI is managed externally. | Choose LTC7804 when board space is constrained and higher switching frequency justifies added cost and complexity. |
| MP2918GL-Z | Lower 2.5MHz max frequency; no spread spectrum; lacks AEC-Q100 qualification; 20µA IQ. | Targeted at cost-sensitive industrial power supplies where automotive qualification and lowest IQ are not required. | Choose MP2918 for non-automotive applications needing basic high-efficiency buck control with simpler BOM. |
Compared with LTC7804HUD#TRPBF and MP2918GL-Z, the LTC7803HUD#TRPBF uniquely balances ultra-low 12µA IQ, AEC-Q100 Grade H qualification, and integrated spread spectrum - making it the only option among the three qualified for safety-critical automotive power rails with stringent EMI and thermal requirements.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for the LTC7803HUD#TRPBF?
The LTC7803HUD#TRPBF is rated for –40°C to +150°C operating junction temperature and is qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade H. This specification is validated through production testing and thermal characterization, ensuring reliable operation in under-hood automotive applications where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C.
Does the LTC7803HUD#TRPBF support 100% duty cycle operation, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LTC7803HUD#TRPBF supports true 100% duty cycle operation via an internal charge pump that sustains BOOST voltage during dropout. When VIN approaches VOUT, the controller activates the charge pump to maintain sufficient gate drive for the top MOSFET - enabling seamless regulation without external circuitry or loss of control.
How does spread spectrum operation reduce EMI in the LTC7803HUD#TRPBF?
The LTC7803HUD#TRPBF reduces peak conducted and radiated EMI by dithering its switching frequency ±10% around the nominal value when PLLIN/SPREAD is tied to INTVCC. This spreads energy across a wider bandwidth, lowering spectral peaks - a feature verified in CISPR 25 Class 5 automotive EMC testing without additional filtering.
Can the LTC7803HUD#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what is the supported frequency range?
Yes, the LTC7803HUD#TRPBF accepts external synchronization on the PLLIN/SPREAD pin across 100kHz to 3MHz. The internal PLL locks the rising edge of the TG signal to the external clock's rising edge, enabling deterministic timing in multi-phase or noise-sensitive systems such as radar or high-speed data acquisition.
What is the purpose of the SENSE– pin in light-load operation of the LTC7803HUD#TRPBF?
In light-load operation, when SENSE– voltage reaches ≥3.2V, it supplies the majority of the LTC7803HUD#TRPBF's sleep-mode quiescent current instead of VIN. This reduces input-referred IQ by the ratio (VIN/VOUT) × efficiency - a key enabler for ultra-low-power automotive always-on functions like CAN wake-up receivers.
