Product details
Overview
LTC7820EUFD#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a fixed-ratio, high-voltage, inductorless switched-capacitor DC/DC controller for voltage divider (2:1 step-down), doubler (1:2 step-up), and inverter (1:1) topologies. It drives four external N-channel MOSFETs, supports up to 72V input in divider mode, delivers >99% peak efficiency, and operates in a thermally enhanced 28-lead 4mm × 5mm QFN package - used in high-power intermediate bus converters for telecom and industrial systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7820EUFD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7820EUFD#TRPBF pinout, LTC7820EUFD#TRPBF application, or LTC7820EUFD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 100kHz–1MHz programmable switching frequency, 50% duty-cycle gate drive timing, high-side current sensing architecture, VHIGH_SENSE/VLOW_SENSE Kelvin sensing, and fault protection with programmable timer and retry.
Technical Context
The LTC7820EUFD#TRPBF implements open-loop, constant-frequency charge-pump control with precise 50% duty-cycle switching across all four gate drivers (G1–G4), enabling soft-switching operation without inductors. Its architecture relies on flying capacitor pre-balancing and synchronized phase interleaving to minimize inrush current and EMI.
It integrates dual LDOs (INTVCC and EXTVCC switchover), a window comparator for VLOW_SENSE monitoring (programmable via HYS_PRGM), and high-side current sensing with 50mV overcurrent threshold referenced to ISENSE+ and ISENSE–. Fault response includes FAULT pin assertion, PGOOD deactivation, and automatic shutdown with thermal protection up to 165°C junction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology Support | Voltage divider (2:1), doubler (1:2), inverter (1:1) - no feedback loop; output ratio fixed by topology and capacitor network. |
| Max Input Voltage (Divider) | 72V - enables direct conversion from 48V/60V intermediate bus rails without pre-regulation. |
| Max Input Voltage (Doubler/Inverter) | 36V - defines safe operating range when configured as step-up or polarity-inverting converter. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 100kHz to 1MHz - set linearly via resistor on FREQ pin; trade-off between efficiency (lower fS) and component size (higher fS). |
| Peak Efficiency | Over 99% - achieved via zero-voltage switching (ZVS) behavior and low RDS(on) driver on-resistance (1.1–2.5Ω). |
| Current Sense Threshold | 45–55mV - precise overcurrent detection at ISENSE+–ISENSE–; triggers FAULT and disables switching. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –40°C to +125°C - qualified for industrial and telecom environments; thermal shutdown activates at ~165°C. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC7820EUFD#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 28-lead plastic QFN package (4mm × 5mm), with exposed pad (Pin 29) soldered to PCB ground for optimal thermal performance and noise immunity. Pin spacing accommodates high-voltage isolation requirements, including NC pins (2, 10, 13, 26) placed between adjacent high-voltage nodes.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VHIGH_SENSE (1) | Kelvin sense input | Monitors drain voltage of top MOSFET (M1); enables accurate high-side voltage reference for VLOW pre-balance and fault detection. |
| G1 (24), G2 (21), G3 (17), G4 (15) | N-channel gate drivers | Drive external power MOSFETs with 50% duty cycle; G1/G2/G3 use floating bootstrapped supplies (BOOST1–BOOST3); G4 is ground-referenced. |
| ISENSE+ (27), ISENSE– (28) | High-side current sense inputs | Detect overcurrent via voltage drop across external sense resistor; ISENSE+ sources 93mA during pre-balance in divider mode. |
| VLOW_SENSE (19), VLOW (20) | Half-supply sense & node | VLOW_SENSE monitors VLOW (≈VHIGH_SENSE/2); window comparator detects OV/UV faults relative to programmed thresholds. |
| FREQ (5), HYS_PRGM (3), TIMER (4) | Programmable analog inputs | FREQ sets switching frequency via 10µA sink; HYS_PRGM configures VLOW_SENSE fault window; TIMER sets pre-balance and short-circuit retry time. |
| FAULT (9), PGOOD (7), RUN (6) | Open-drain status/control | FAULT asserts low on overcurrent, OV/UV, or INTVCC UVLO; PGOOD indicates healthy operation; RUN enables/disables controller with hysteresis. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inductorless architecture | Eliminates magnetic components - reduces board area, weight, and EMI; enables ultra-thin, high-power-density bus converters. |
| Soft-start pre-balancing | Internally sources 93mA to VLOW during startup to equalize flying capacitor voltages - prevents destructive inrush currents. |
| Programmable fault protection | HYS_PRGM pin sets VLOW_SENSE window thresholds; TIMER pin configures retry delay after short-circuit - enhances system robustness. |
| Dual LDO power architecture | INTVCC (5.6V) powered from VCC or EXTVCC (6.5–40V); improves efficiency at high input voltages and reduces IC self-heating. |
| High-voltage compatible layout | No-connect pins (2, 10, 13, 26) provide creepage/clearance between high-potential nodes - simplifies PCB design for 72V-rated applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-ratio switched-capacitor controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC7821IUFD#TRPBF | Same pinout and function; rated for –40°C to 125°C industrial temp grade (LTC7820E is extended temp, not automotive). | Identical topology support and protection features; differs only in guaranteed temperature range and screening. | Select LTC7821 for designs requiring full industrial-grade qualification across full –40°C to 125°C junction range. |
| MPQ4332GJ-AEC1-Z | Monolithic 2:1 buck-charge-pump IC (integrated MOSFETs); max 36V input; no external MOSFET flexibility or 72V capability. | Targeted at space-constrained automotive infotainment; lacks programmable fault timing, Kelvin sensing, or high-voltage divider support. | Choose MPQ4332 only for cost-sensitive, lower-power (<100W), automotive AEC-Q100 applications where integration outweighs flexibility. |
Compared with LTC7821IUFD#TRPBF and MPQ4332GJ-AEC1-Z, the LTC7820EUFD#TRPBF uniquely supports 72V input in divider mode, offers full external MOSFET control for thermal/power optimization, and provides precision programmable fault windows - making it the only option for high-reliability, high-power (>300W), non-isolated intermediate bus conversion.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC7820EUFD#TRPBF in voltage divider mode?
The LTC7820EUFD#TRPBF supports up to 72V input voltage in voltage divider (2:1 step-down) configuration, as confirmed by Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables. This enables direct conversion from standard 48V and 60V intermediate bus rails without pre-regulation stages. Operation above 72V risks permanent damage per datasheet limits.
Does the LTC7820EUFD#TRPBF require an output voltage feedback loop?
No, the LTC7820EUFD#TRPBF operates in open-loop mode with fixed voltage ratios determined by topology (2:1, 1:2, or 1:1). It does not regulate output voltage via feedback; instead, it monitors VLOW_SENSE against VHIGH_SENSE/2 and shuts down on deviation. Output accuracy depends on capacitor matching and MOSFET RDS(on) balance - not closed-loop control.
How is switching frequency programmed on the LTC7820EUFD#TRPBF?
Switching frequency on the LTC7820EUFD#TRPBF is set using a resistor from the FREQ pin (Pin 5) to GND. A precision 10µA current flows out of FREQ, generating a voltage (VFREQ = R × 10µA) that linearly controls frequency from 100kHz to 1MHz. For example, a 100kΩ resistor yields ~1V on FREQ and ~483kHz operation per the fS = RFREQ(kΩ) × 8 − 317kHz equation.
Can the LTC7820EUFD#TRPBF be used in inverting configurations?
Yes, the LTC7820EUFD#TRPBF supports 1:1 inverting operation with up to 36V input. In this mode, input is applied between VHIGH_SENSE and VLOW, and the inverted output appears at GND referenced to VLOW. The device maintains soft-switching behavior and full fault protection - including VLOW_SENSE window monitoring and overcurrent detection - as verified in Figure 9 and Applications Information.
What is the purpose of the EXTVCC pin on the LTC7820EUFD#TRPBF?
The EXTVCC pin (Pin 11) supplies an alternative input to the INTVCC LDO, improving efficiency when VCC exceeds 7V. When EXTVCC is >6.5V and VCC >7V, the IC switches from VCC-powered INTVCC to EXTVCC-powered INTVCC, reducing power dissipation and die temperature. EXTVCC must not exceed 40V and is intended for use with locally regulated auxiliary supplies.
