Product details
Overview
LTC7803JUD#WTRPBF 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, features 12µA no-load quiescent current, 3MHz programmable switching frequency, and spread spectrum EMI reduction-designed for automotive power conversion in engine control units and ADAS domain controllers.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7803JUD#WTRPBF datasheet, LTC7803JUD#WTRPBF pinout, LTC7803JUD#WTRPBF application, or LTC7803JUD#WTRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, 150°C junction rating, RSENSE/DCR current sensing flexibility, OPTI-LOOP compensation, and selectable light-load modes (Burst/Pulse-Skipping/Continuous) for battery-sensitive systems.
Technical Context
The LTC7803JUD#WTRPBF implements a constant-frequency peak current mode architecture with phase-lockable oscillator (100kHz–3MHz), enabling precise timing synchronization across multi-rail power systems. Its dual-mode gate drivers support 100% duty cycle operation via internal charge pump, eliminating dropout during low-VIN conditions.
It integrates independent INTVCC and EXTVCC LDOs with switchover at 4.7V, allowing efficient external biasing; the MODE pin selects among Burst Mode (12µA IQ), pulse-skipping, or forced continuous conduction-each altering transient response and light-load efficiency trade-offs.
Key Specifications

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for the LTC7803JUD#WTRPBF?
The LTC7803JUD#WTRPBF is guaranteed to operate over a junction temperature range of –40°C to +150°C and is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive Grade 1 applications. This rating enables reliable deployment in under-hood locations and high-ambient industrial settings where thermal management is constrained. The device includes thermal shutdown protection that activates above 165°C to prevent permanent damage.
Does the LTC7803JUD#WTRPBF support both RSENSE and DCR current sensing?
Yes, the LTC7803JUD#WTRPBF supports both RSENSE and DCR current sensing through its differential SENSE+ and SENSE– inputs. The current sense threshold is adjustable via the ITH voltage and remains stable across temperature, with a typical value of 50mV. This dual-sensing capability allows designers to optimize for accuracy (RSENSE) or cost/PCB area (DCR), depending on application requirements.
How does the spread spectrum feature of the LTC7803JUD#WTRPBF reduce EMI?
The LTC7803JUD#WTRPBF reduces peak conducted and radiated 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 amplitude at any single frequency-directly easing compliance with CISPR 25 Class 5 and FCC Part 15 limits without adding external filters or shielding.
Can the LTC7803JUD#WTRPBF achieve 100% duty cycle operation, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LTC7803JUD#WTRPBF achieves true 100% duty cycle operation using an internal charge pump that maintains BOOST voltage even when VIN approaches VOUT. This eliminates dropout during automotive cold-crank events (e.g., 5V input to 3.3V output) and enables PassThru™ functionality. No external components beyond the standard BOOST capacitor and Schottky diode are required.
What is the purpose of the EXTVCC pin on the LTC7803JUD#WTRPBF, and when should it be used?
The EXTVCC pin on the LTC7803JUD#WTRPBF provides an alternative bias source for the INTVCC LDO. When driven above 4.7V, it disables the VIN-based LDO and powers INTVCC from the external supply-reducing total input current and improving overall system efficiency. It is recommended in designs where a clean, efficient auxiliary rail (e.g., 5V or 12V) is already available on the board.
