Product details
Overview
LTC7803JMSE#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 - used in automotive power supplies requiring high efficiency and low noise.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7803JMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7803JMSE#TRPBF pinout, LTC7803JMSE#TRPBF application, or LTC7803JMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, 150°C junction temperature rating, MSOP-16 package with exposed pad, and support for RSENSE/DCR current sensing in high-reliability 12V–36V automotive and industrial power conversion designs.
Technical Context
The LTC7803JMSE#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency peak current mode control architecture with programmable switching frequency (100kHz–3MHz) and phase-lockable capability via PLLIN/SPREAD. Its OPTI-LOOP compensation enables stable loop response across wide output capacitance and ESR ranges.
It integrates dual gate drivers (TG/BG) with 1.5Ω pull-down and 3Ω pull-up on-resistance, supports PassThru™ 100% duty cycle operation during dropout, and features independent INTVCC/EXTVCC LDOs enabling efficient biasing from either VIN or an external 4.7–30V supply.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 40V - supports wide-range automotive battery inputs including cold-crank and load-dump conditions. |
| No-Load Quiescent Current | 12µA at 14VIN/3.3VOUT - extends runtime in always-on vehicle modules like telematics and ADAS sensors. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 100kHz–3MHz or phase-locked - enables compact magnetics and noise shaping for EMI compliance. |
| Output Voltage Range | 0.8V to 40V - configurable for diverse rail requirements including 3.3V, 5V, 12V, and high-side 24V/36V systems. |
| Current Sensing | RSENSE or DCR - flexible integration with discrete shunts or inductor DCR for cost-optimized or lossless sensing. |
| Junction Temperature | –40°C to +150°C - qualified per AEC-Q100 Grade 1, suitable for under-hood automotive environments. |
| Package | 16-pin MSOP with exposed thermal pad - provides 10°C/W θJC for reliable thermal management in space-constrained layouts. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead plastic MSOP (MSE), 3mm × 4.9mm, exposed pad (Pin 17 = GND). Requires soldering of exposed pad to PCB for thermal performance (θJA = 40°C/W).
| Pin | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 / 3 | TRACK/SS | Soft-start ramp generator and external voltage tracking input - internal 12.5µA pull-up enables linear VOUT ramp via external capacitor; supports supply sequencing. |
| 2 / 4 | SENSE+ | Positive input to differential current comparator - used with SENSE– to set peak current limit based on ITH voltage and sense resistor or DCR. |
| 3 / 5 | SENSE– | Negative input to differential current comparator - supplies sleep-mode quiescent current when ≥3.2V, reducing input-referred IQ in light-load operation. |
| 4 / 6 | VFB | Error amplifier feedback node - regulates output to 0.792–0.808V reference; connects to resistor divider for precise VOUT setting. |
| 5 / 7 | ITH | Error amplifier output and compensation point - controls current limit threshold; external RC network sets loop stability. |
| 6 / 8 | RUN | Enable/shutdown control - <1.15V disables regulation; <0.7V shuts down IC, reducing IQ to 1.2µA. |
| 7 / 9 | FREQ | VCO frequency programming - grounded = 375kHz, tied to INTVCC = 2.25MHz, resistor-to-GND enables 100kHz–3MHz tuning. |
| 8 / 10 | PLLIN/SPREAD | External sync input or spread spectrum enable - external clock locks TG edge; tied to INTVCC enables dithering for EMI reduction. |
| 9 / 11 | MODE | Light-load operation mode select - GND = Burst Mode, INTVCC = forced continuous, 100kΩ-to-INTVCC = pulse-skipping. |
| 10 / 12 | INTVCC | 5.15V internal LDO output - powers gate drivers and control logic; requires ≥4.7µF ceramic decoupling to GND. |
| 11 / 13 | EXTVCC | External bias input for INTVCC LDO - bypasses VIN LDO when >4.7V, improving system efficiency in multi-rail designs. |
| 12 / 14 | VIN | Main input supply - powers internal circuitry when EXTVCC is inactive; requires local ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| 13 / 15 | BG | Bottom N-MOSFET gate driver - swings from GND to INTVCC; drives synchronous rectifier with 1.5Ω pull-down resistance. |
| 14 / 16 | BOOST | Bootstrap supply for top gate driver - connected via capacitor to SW and Schottky diode to INTVCC for floating high-side drive. |
| 15 / 1 | TG | Top N-MOSFET gate driver - floating output with INTVCC swing superimposed on SW node; supports 100% duty cycle via internal charge pump. |
| 16 / 2 | SW | Switch node connection - ties to inductor and BOOST capacitor; critical for layout to minimize EMI and switching losses. |
| 17 | GND | Power and signal ground - exposed pad must be soldered to PCB thermal plane; serves as return for CIN, COUT, and small-signal references. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Spread Spectrum Operation | Reduces peak conducted/radiated EMI by dithering switching frequency ±10% around fOSC, easing CISPR 25 Class 5 compliance without added filtering. |
| OPTI-LOOP Compensation | Enables single-pole compensation over wide output capacitor ESR range (0.5mΩ–100mΩ), eliminating need for complex Type II/III networks. |
| PassThru™ 100% Duty Cycle | Maintains regulation during input dropout (e.g., 6VIN → 3.3VOUT) using internal charge pump, avoiding unregulated pass-through failure modes. |
| AEC-Q100 Qualified | Qualified to Grade 1 (–40°C to +150°C) with full reliability testing - meets automotive functional safety requirements for power management in ADAS and infotainment. |
| Selectably Efficient Light-Load Modes | Burst Mode (14µA IQ), pulse-skipping, or forced continuous - allows trade-off between light-load efficiency, output ripple, and EMI profile per system requirement. |

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature rating for the LTC7803JMSE#TRPBF?
The LTC7803JMSE#TRPBF is rated for operation from –40°C to +150°C junction temperature and is AEC-Q100 qualified to Grade 1. This specification is confirmed in the Order Information table and Absolute Maximum Ratings section of the official datasheet Rev. B, making it suitable for under-hood automotive use cases where ambient temperatures exceed 105°C.
Does the LTC7803JMSE#TRPBF support 100% duty cycle operation, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LTC7803JMSE#TRPBF supports true 100% duty cycle operation via its PassThru™ feature. When input voltage approaches output voltage, an internal charge pump sustains BOOST voltage to keep the top MOSFET fully enhanced - verified in the Functional Diagram and Applications Information sections. This avoids unregulated dropout common in non-charge-pump controllers.
How does spread spectrum operation reduce EMI in the LTC7803JMSE#TRPBF?
The LTC7803JMSE#TRPBF reduces peak radiated and conducted EMI by dithering its switching frequency ±10% around the nominal value when PLLIN/SPREAD is tied to INTVCC. This spreads energy across a bandwidth instead of concentrating it at harmonics - directly stated in the FEATURES and Spread Spectrum Oscillator sections of the datasheet, enabling easier CISPR 25 compliance.
Can the LTC7803JMSE#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what pins are involved?
Yes, the LTC7803JMSE#TRPBF supports external synchronization via the PLLIN/SPREAD pin. When an external clock is applied, the internal PLL forces the rising edge of the TG signal to align with the clock's rising edge. The FREQ pin remains active for frequency programming, and MODE determines light-load behavior during sync - all confirmed in the PIN FUNCTIONS and ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS tables.
What is the purpose of the SENSE– pin in the LTC7803JMSE#TRPBF, beyond current sensing?
In addition to its role as the negative input to the current comparator, the SENSE– pin supplies sleep-mode quiescent current when its voltage reaches ≥3.2V - reducing input-referred IQ by the ratio (VOUT/VIN) × efficiency. This is explicitly documented in the Electrical Characteristics table (ISENSE– row) and OPERATION section, enabling ultra-low-power operation in battery-backed systems.
