Product details
Overview
LTC7804EUD#PBF from Analog Devices is a high-performance synchronous boost DC/DC controller driving all-N-channel MOSFET stages, featuring 14 μA no-load quiescent current, spread spectrum EMI reduction, and programmable 100 kHz–3 MHz switching frequency. It operates from 4.5 V to 40 V input (down to 1 V post-startup), delivers up to 40 V output, and supports Pass-Thru™ 100% duty cycle - ideal for automotive infotainment power rails and industrial 24 V bus boost converters.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7804EUD#PBF datasheet, LTC7804EUD#PBF pinout, LTC7804EUD#PBF application, or LTC7804EUD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include light-load mode flexibility (Burst/Pulse-Skipping/Continuous), RSENSE/DCR current sensing compatibility, OPTI-LOOP compensation tuning, and AEC-Q100 qualification for automotive-grade reliability.
Technical Context
The LTC7804EUD#PBF implements a constant-frequency peak-current-mode control architecture with dual gate drivers (TG/BG) supporting N-channel top/bottom MOSFETs. Its error amplifier (EA) compares VFB against a precise 1.200 V reference and drives ITH to regulate inductor peak current, enabling stable loop response across wide output capacitance and ESR ranges via OPTI-LOOP compensation.
Spread spectrum dithering is enabled by pulling PLLIN/SPREAD to INTVCC, reducing conducted/EMI peaks without altering average frequency; phase-locking is achieved when an external clock is applied to PLLIN/SPREAD. The MODE pin selects among Burst Mode (low IQ), pulse-skipping (low ripple), or forced continuous conduction - each with distinct transient response and efficiency trade-offs at light loads.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (3 mm × 3 mm) plastic QFN with exposed GND pad (Pin 17), rated for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB for thermal performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| TG (Pin 1) | Top-side N-MOSFET gate driver output | Floating driver with INTVCC-referenced swing; requires BOOST capacitor for high-side drive - enables efficient synchronous rectification. |
| SW (Pin 2) | Switch node connection | Connects to inductor and source of bottom MOSFET; critical for layout low-inductance routing to minimize EMI and ringing. |
| SENSE– (Pin 4) | Negative current sense input | Differential input to current comparator; used with SENSE+ to set precise current limit - supports Kelvin sensing for accuracy. |
| SENSE+ (Pin 5) | Positive current sense input | Accepts common-mode voltage up to 40 V; supplies current to comparator when > INTVCC - enables direct DCR sensing without bias network. |
| VFB (Pin 6) | Error amplifier feedback input | Compares output voltage (via resistor divider) to 1.200 V reference - determines final regulated output voltage with <±1% tolerance. |
| ITH (Pin 7) | Error amplifier output & compensation node | Controls peak inductor current; connects to OPTI-LOOP compensation network - allows dynamic response tuning for varied output caps. |
| RUN (Pin 8) | Enable/shutdown control | 1.2 V threshold; <0.7 V forces shutdown (1.2 μA IQ); ties directly to VIN for always-on operation - simplifies power sequencing. |
| FREQ (Pin 9) | Internal VCO frequency programming | Resistor-to-GND sets 100 kHz–3 MHz; tie to INTVCC for 2.25 MHz fixed - enables EMI spread or noise-sensitive frequency selection. |
| PLLIN/SPREAD (Pin 10) | External sync input / spread spectrum enable | Tie to INTVCC for spread spectrum; apply external clock for phase-lock - reduces peak EMI without changing average fSW. |
| MODE (Pin 11) | Light-load operating mode select | GND = Burst Mode; INTVCC = Continuous; 100 kΩ to INTVCC = Pulse-Skipping - balances efficiency vs. output ripple at light loads. |
| INTVCC (Pin 12) | Internal 5.15 V LDO output | Powers gate drivers and analog circuits; requires ≥4.7 μF ceramic decoupling - ensures stable core supply under load transients. |
| EXTVCC (Pin 13) | External bias input for INTVCC LDO | Enables bypass of VBIAS LDO when >4.7 V; improves efficiency using downstream regulator output - reduces heat in multi-rail systems. |
| VBIAS (Pin 14) | Main bias supply input | Accepts 4.5–40 V; powers internal LDO and logic; typically tied to VIN or VOUT - provides flexible biasing for wide-input applications. |
| BG (Pin 15) | Bottom N-MOSFET gate driver output | GND-referenced driver with 1.5 Ω pull-down; complements TG for synchronous boost - eliminates body-diode conduction losses. |
| BOOST (Pin 16) | Bootstrap supply for TG driver | Requires capacitor to SW; Schottky diode to INTVCC - sustains high-side drive during 100% duty cycle Pass-Thru operation. |
| GND (Pin 17) | Power and signal ground | Exposed thermal pad; connects to CIN/COUT negatives and small-signal grounds - mandatory for thermal integrity and noise immunity. |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LTC7804EUD#PBF startup?
The LTC7804EUD#PBF requires a minimum 4.5 V on VBIAS to initiate startup. However, once running and biased from the output rail (VBIAS tied to VOUT), it can sustain operation down to 1 V input - enabling functionality during automotive cold-crank events where battery voltage dips below 6 V. This behavior is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table and Applications Information section of the datasheet.
Does LTC7804EUD#PBF support both RSENSE and inductor DCR current sensing?
Yes, the LTC7804EUD#PBF supports both methods. SENSE+ and SENSE− form a differential input that accepts either a shunt resistor (RSENSE) or the voltage drop across an inductor's DCR. When SENSE+ exceeds INTVCC, it actively sources current into the comparator - a feature enabling accurate DCR sensing without external bias networks. This dual-sensing capability is explicitly detailed in the Pin Functions and Applications Information sections.
How does the MODE pin configure light-load operation in LTC7804EUD#PBF?
The MODE pin of the LTC7804EUD#PBF selects among three light-load strategies: grounding enables Burst Mode (lowest IQ, ~14 μA); tying to INTVCC forces continuous conduction (best transient response); and connecting via a 100 kΩ resistor to INTVCC selects pulse-skipping (low ripple, moderate IQ). These configurations are defined in the Pin Functions section and validated in Typical Performance Characteristics Figures G04–G07.
Is LTC7804EUD#PBF pin-compatible with other variants in the LTC7804 family?
Yes, the LTC7804EUD#PBF shares identical pinout and footprint with all other LTC7804 UD-package variants (e.g., LTC7804IUD#PBF, LTC7804HUD#PBF) and MSOP-package versions (e.g., LTC7804EMSE#PBF). The QFN (UD) and MSOP (MSE) packages have different land patterns, but all 16-pin variants - regardless of temperature grade (E/I/H) or automotive suffix (#WPBF) - maintain consistent pin assignment and electrical behavior per the Pin Configuration diagram and Order Information table.
What thermal performance can be expected from the LTC7804EUD#PBF QFN package?
The LTC7804EUD#PBF in its 3 mm × 3 mm QFN package has θJA = 68°C/W and θJC = 4.2°C/W when the exposed GND pad (Pin 17) is properly soldered to a 1-in² copper area. This enables reliable operation at full load (e.g., 6 A output) up to +125°C junction temperature. Thermal data is specified in the Package Description section and validated in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table.
