Product details
Overview
LTC7804HUD#PBF from Analog Devices is a high-performance synchronous boost DC/DC controller driving all-N-channel MOSFET stages, featuring 14μA no-load quiescent current, spread spectrum EMI reduction, and programmable 100kHz–3MHz switching frequency. It operates from 4.5V–40V input (down to 1V post-startup), delivers up to 40V output, and supports Pass-Thru™ 100% duty cycle - ideal for automotive infotainment power rails requiring low EMI and wide VIN range.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7804HUD#PBF datasheet, LTC7804HUD#PBF pinout, LTC7804HUD#PBF application, or LTC7804HUD#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its AEC-Q100 qualification, thermally enhanced 3mm × 3mm QFN package with exposed GND pad, RSENSE/DCR current sensing flexibility, and OPTI-LOOP compensation for stable transient response across diverse output capacitors.
Technical Context
The LTC7804HUD#PBF implements a constant-frequency peak current-mode control architecture with dual gate drivers (TG/BG) supporting N-channel top/bottom MOSFETs. Its internal 5.15V INTVCC LDO powers logic and drivers, while EXTVCC input enables efficient external biasing above 4.7V.
Spread spectrum dithering is enabled via PLLIN/SPREAD = INTVCC, reducing peak conducted/radiated noise; phase-locking is supported over 0.1–3MHz when driven externally. Light-load behavior is configurable via MODE pin: Burst Mode (1.2μA shutdown IQ), pulse-skipping, or forced continuous conduction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 40V; operates down to 1V after startup when biased from VOUT - enables cold-crank automotive operation. |
| Output Voltage Range | Up to 40V; regulated feedback voltage fixed at 1.200V ±1.2% - sets output via external resistor divider. |
| Quiescent Current | 14μA typical in sleep mode; 1.2μA in shutdown - extends battery runtime in always-on systems. |
| Switching Frequency | Programmable 100kHz–3MHz; phase-lockable 0.1–3MHz - allows EMI band avoidance and multi-phase synchronization. |
| Current Sensing | RSENSE or inductor DCR sensing; max sense threshold 50mV - supports low-loss, high-accuracy current limiting. |
| Package | 16-pin 3mm × 3mm QFN with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17 = GND) - θJC = 4.2°C/W enables high-power density designs. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | H-grade: –40°C to +150°C junction temperature - qualified for under-hood automotive applications. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 16-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic QFN with exposed GND pad (Pin 17). Thermal performance requires soldering exposed pad to PCB ground plane per manufacturer guidelines (θJA = 68°C/W, θJC = 4.2°C/W).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SW (Pin 16) | Switch node connection | Connects to inductor and MOSFET source-drain path; carries high di/dt - requires tight layout and Kelvin sensing for stability. |
| TG (Pin 15) | Top N-MOSFET gate driver output | Floating driver with INTVCC-referenced swing; drives gate of high-side MOSFET - requires BOOST capacitor and Schottky diode. |
| BG (Pin 13) | Bottom N-MOSFET gate driver output | Ground-referenced driver; turns on main switch - low 1.5Ω pull-down resistance minimizes turn-off losses. |
| BOOST (Pin 14) | Bootstrap supply for TG | Capacitor between BOOST and SW provides floating bias for TG - must use low-leakage ceramic or Schottky-clamped design. |
| SENSE+ / SENSE− (Pins 5 / 4) | Differential current sense inputs | Measure voltage across RSENSE or DCR; 50mV full-scale threshold enables precise overcurrent protection without shunt loss. |
| VFB (Pin 6) | Feedback input to error amplifier | Compares output voltage (via resistor divider) to 1.200V reference - determines regulation accuracy and loop stability. |
| ITH (Pin 7) | Error amplifier output & compensation node | Controls peak inductor current; connects to OPTI-LOOP compensation network - enables wide ESR/capacitance tolerance. |
| RUN (Pin 8) | Enable/shutdown control | 1.2V threshold; <0.7V forces 1.2μA shutdown - supports UVLO implementation or microcontroller-controlled sequencing. |
| MODE (Pin 11) | Light-load operating mode select | GND = Burst Mode; INTVCC = forced continuous; 100k-to-GND = pulse-skipping - optimizes efficiency vs. ripple tradeoff. |
| PLLIN/SPREAD (Pin 10) | Sync input / spread spectrum enable | INTVCC = spread spectrum; external clock = phase-lock - reduces EMI peaks without altering average frequency. |
| FREQ (Pin 9) | Internal oscillator programming | GND = 375kHz; INTVCC = 2.25MHz; resistor-to-GND sets 100kHz–3MHz - enables frequency tuning for layout or noise constraints. |
| INTVCC (Pin 12) | Internal 5.15V LDO output | Powers gate drivers and analog circuitry; requires ≥4.7μF ceramic decoupling - critical for driver strength and noise immunity. |
| VBIAS (Pin 14) | Main bias supply input | Accepts 4.5V–40V; powers internal LDO when EXTVCC <4.7V - allows flexible bias sourcing from VIN or VOUT. |
| GND (Pin 17) | Power and signal ground | Exposed thermal pad; connects to source of bottom MOSFET and CIN/COUT negatives - mandatory for thermal and EMI performance. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

| Spread spectrum modulation | Reduces peak radiated/conducted EMI by spreading oscillator energy across ±20% bandwidth - simplifies compliance with CISPR 25 Class 5. |
| Pass-Thru™ 100% duty cycle | Enables VOUT ≈ VIN operation when input exceeds target - eliminates dropout during transients and supports seamless buck-boost transitions. |
| OPTI-LOOP compensation | Allows stable loop response with wide range of output capacitor types (ceramic, polymer, electrolytic) and ESR values - reduces design iteration. |
| Low IQ sleep mode | 14μA operating current enables >1-year battery life in always-on telematics modules with 100mAh coin cell. |
| AEC-Q100 H-grade qualification | Validated for –40°C to +150°C operation with HTOL, TC, and UHAST - meets automotive under-hood reliability requirements. |
| RSENSE or DCR current sensing | Supports either discrete shunt or lossless inductor-based sensing - lowers BOM cost and improves thermal efficiency in high-current designs. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output voltage supported by the LTC7804HUD#PBF?
The LTC7804HUD#PBF supports an output voltage up to 40V, set by an external resistor divider connected to the VFB pin and referenced to its precise 1.200V internal feedback voltage. This allows flexible configuration for 12V, 24V, 36V, or 40V rails without requiring additional regulation stages.
Does the LTC7804HUD#PBF require external bootstrap components?
Yes, the LTC7804HUD#PBF requires an external bootstrap capacitor between BOOST and SW pins, plus a low-leakage Schottky diode from BOOST to INTVCC. These components provide the floating gate drive voltage for the top N-channel MOSFET (TG), enabling high-side switching without external level-shifting circuitry.
How does spread spectrum operation reduce EMI in the LTC7804HUD#PBF?
The LTC7804HUD#PBF reduces peak conducted and radiated EMI by modulating its switching frequency ±20% around the nominal value when PLLIN/SPREAD is tied to INTVCC. This spreads energy across a wider bandwidth, lowering amplitude at any single frequency - easing compliance with CISPR 25 and FCC Part 15 limits.
Can the LTC7804HUD#PBF operate with input voltage below 4.5V?
Yes - once started, the LTC7804HUD#PBF can sustain operation with input voltage as low as 1V when biased from its own output (VBIAS = VOUT). However, initial startup requires ≥4.5V on VBIAS unless using external biasing; this enables functionality during automotive cold-crank events where battery drops to ~6V but downstream rails remain active.
What thermal considerations apply to the LTC7804HUD#PBF's QFN package?
The LTC7804HUD#PBF uses a 3mm × 3mm QFN with exposed GND pad (Pin 17), requiring soldering to a PCB thermal pad for rated performance (θJC = 4.2°C/W). Failure to connect the exposed pad degrades thermal resistance significantly - leading to premature thermal shutdown or reduced lifetime in high-power applications.
