Product details
Overview
LTC7803IUD#PBF 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, and features 12µA no-load quiescent current, spread spectrum EMI reduction, and programmable 100kHz–3MHz switching frequency - enabling compact, efficient power supplies in automotive infotainment and industrial motor control systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7803IUD#PBF datasheet, LTC7803IUD#PBF pinout, LTC7803IUD#PBF application, or LTC7803IUD#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its RSENSE/DCR current sensing flexibility, OPTI-LOOP compensation for wide output capacitor/ESR tolerance, PassThru™ 100% duty cycle capability, AEC-Q100 qualification, and thermally enhanced 3mm × 3mm QFN package with exposed GND pad.
Technical Context
The LTC7803IUD#PBF implements a constant-frequency peak current mode architecture with phase-lockable oscillator (0.1–3MHz), enabling precise timing synchronization and predictable transient response. Its dual-mode gate drivers (TG/BG) support fast 15ns turn-on/off delays and 3Ω/1.5Ω on-resistance, optimized for high-efficiency synchronous rectification across wide VIN–VOUT differentials.
It integrates independent INTVCC and EXTVCC LDOs with 4.7V switchover threshold, allowing external biasing to reduce input-referred quiescent current; combined with MODE-selectable light-load operation (Burst, pulse-skipping, or forced continuous), it achieves 12µA IQ at 14VIN→3.3VOUT and 1.2µA shutdown current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 40V - supports wide-input industrial and automotive battery rails without pre-regulation. |
| No-Load Quiescent Current | 12µA at 14VIN→3.3VOUT - extends runtime in always-on battery-powered systems. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 100kHz to 3MHz (programmable via FREQ pin resistor) - enables optimization of size vs. efficiency in space-constrained designs. |
| Feedback Reference Voltage | 0.792V to 0.808V (±1.5% over temp) - ensures tight output regulation across –40°C to 125°C junction range. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 45mV to 55mV max - allows accurate current limiting with low-value, low-power sense resistors or DCR sensing. |
| 100% Duty Cycle Capability | PassThru™ mode enabled - maintains regulation during VIN-to-VOUT dropout, critical for automotive cold-crank scenarios. |
| Spread Spectrum Range | ±10% frequency dither (PLLIN/SPREAD = INTVCC) - reduces peak conducted/radiated EMI by >10dB, easing CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-pin (3mm × 3mm) plastic QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB for θJC = 4.2°C/W thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TG (Pin 1) | Top N-MOSFET Gate Driver Output | Floating driver with INTVCC-referenced swing; supports 100% duty cycle via internal charge pump. |
| SW (Pin 2) | Switch Node Connection | Connects to inductor and BOOST capacitor; voltage swings from GND to VIN during operation. |
| TRACK/SS (Pin 3) | Soft-Start & Tracking Input | Internal 12.5µA pull-up sets soft-start ramp time (0.65ms/10nF); enables output voltage tracking of other supplies. |
| SENSE+ (Pin 4) | Current Sense Positive Input | Differential input to current comparator; used with SENSE– to set ITRIP based on RSENSE or DCR. |
| INTVCC (Pin 12) | Internal 5.15V LDO Output | Powers gate drivers and control circuitry; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic decoupling to GND. |
| MODE (Pin 11) | Light-Load Operation Mode Select | GND = Burst Mode; INTVCC = forced continuous; INTVCC via 100kΩ = pulse-skipping - selectable per system efficiency needs. |
| PLLIN/SPREAD (Pin 10) | Synchronization & Spread Spectrum Control | External clock input for phase-locking; tied to INTVCC enables spread spectrum; tied to GND disables dither. |
| GND (Pin 17) | Power & Signal Ground | Exposed thermal pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and EMI performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| MP2918GL-Z | Fixed 500kHz frequency; no spread spectrum; 2.5µA IQ; supports only RSENSE sensing. | Lacks PassThru™ mode and AEC-Q100 rating; limited to non-automotive industrial use. | Lower-cost option where EMI and dropout margin are not critical. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC7803IUD#PBF?
The LTC7803IUD#PBF supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 40V on the VIN pin, with guaranteed operation from 4.5V to 40V. This wide range enables direct connection to 24V and 36V industrial buses and 12V/24V automotive systems including cold-crank conditions down to 4.5V. Exceeding 40V may cause permanent damage per Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Does the LTC7803IUD#PBF support 100% duty cycle operation, and how is it enabled?
Yes, the LTC7803IUD#PBF supports true 100% duty cycle operation via its PassThru™ feature. When the input voltage approaches the regulated output voltage, the controller automatically extends the top MOSFET on-time to maintain regulation without dropout. No external components or configuration are required - it is inherent to the architecture and active whenever needed.
How does spread spectrum operation reduce EMI in the LTC7803IUD#PBF?
The LTC7803IUD#PBF reduces peak conducted and radiated EMI by ±10% frequency dither when PLLIN/SPREAD is tied to INTVCC. This spreads energy across a wider bandwidth, lowering spectral peaks by up to 10dB - significantly easing compliance with CISPR 25 Class 5 and FCC Part 15 standards without adding ferrite beads or shielding.
What is the purpose of the EXTVCC pin on the LTC7803IUD#PBF, and when should it be used?
The EXTVCC pin on the LTC7803IUD#PBF provides an alternative bias path for the INTVCC LDO. When driven above 4.7V, it disables the VIN-based LDO and powers INTVCC from the external source - reducing input-referred quiescent current and improving overall system efficiency. It is recommended when a clean, efficient auxiliary rail (e.g., 5V or 12V) is available.
Can the LTC7803IUD#PBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what is the valid frequency range?
Yes, the LTC7803IUD#PBF can be synchronized to an external clock applied to the PLLIN/SPREAD pin. The valid synchronizable frequency range is 0.1MHz to 3MHz, matching its internal VCO range. During synchronization, the controller locks the rising edge of TG to the external clock's rising edge, eliminating beat frequencies in multi-rail systems.
