Product details
Overview
LTC7820IUFD#PBF from Analog Devices is a fixed-ratio, high-voltage, high-power switched-capacitor (charge pump) DC/DC controller for non-isolated intermediate bus conversion. It drives four external N-channel MOSFETs to implement 2:1 voltage divider (VIN ≤ 72V → VOUT ≈ VIN/2), 1:2 voltage doubler (VIN ≤ 36V → VOUT ≈ 2×VIN), or 1:1 inverting topologies. Achieves >99% peak efficiency at 5A output and operates with programmable 100kHz–1MHz switching frequency. Used in high-density bus converters for telecom and industrial power systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7820IUFD#PBF datasheet, LTC7820IUFD#PBF pinout, LTC7820IUFD#PBF application, or LTC7820IUFD#PBF equivalent, key selection factors include its 28-pin 4mm × 5mm QFN package with HV-safe pin spacing, input current sensing with 50mV overcurrent threshold, soft-start pre-balancing capability, and dual INTVCC/EXTVCC biasing for efficiency optimization above 15V input.
Technical Context
The LTC7820IUFD#PBF implements open-loop, constant-frequency charge-pump control with precisely timed gate drive sequencing: G1/G3 operate in-phase at ~50% duty cycle, while G2/G4 operate complementarily to enable capacitor energy transfer across phases. It uses floating bootstrap drivers (BOOST1–BOOST3) to bias high-side MOSFET gates, with anti-shoot-through logic ensuring safe dead-time between complementary switches.
Protection is implemented via dedicated analog comparators: VLOW_SENSE is monitored against a programmable window centered at VHIGH_SENSE/2 (set by HYS_PRGM), ISENSE+–ISENSE− is compared to a 50mV threshold for overcurrent, and INTVCC UVLO (5.05V rising) disables operation below bias rail integrity. Fault conditions pull open-drain FAULT and PGOOD low with no automatic retry unless TIMER capacitor is configured for timed recovery.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology Support | Fixed-ratio voltage divider (2:1), doubler (1:2), or inverter (1:1); no closed-loop regulation - output depends on capacitor matching and load stability. |
| Max Input Voltage | 72V for 2:1 divider mode; 36V for 1:2 doubler or 1:1 inverter - defined by absolute max ratings and safe operating area of external MOSFETs. |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz to 1MHz, linearly programmed via FREQ pin current (10µA sink); enables trade-off between efficiency (lower fSW) and component size (higher fSW). |
| Overcurrent Threshold | 50mV differential across RSENSE (ISENSE+ to ISENSE−); corresponds to precise current limit independent of temperature or supply variation. |
| Package | 28-lead 4mm × 5mm QFN (UFD) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 29 = GND); includes NC pins (2,10,13,26) for HV isolation between adjacent high-voltage nodes. |
| Efficiency | ≥99% peak at 5A load in 48V→24V divider configuration; achieved via zero-voltage switching (ZVS) behavior and low-loss gate drive architecture. |
| Bias Supply Options | Dual-path INTVCC regulation: internal LDO from VCC (6–72V), or more efficient EXTVCC LDO (12–40V) enabled when VCC > 7V and EXTVCC > 6.5V. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead (4mm × 5mm) plastic QFN (UFD) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 29 = GND). Pin spacing optimized for high-voltage compatibility; NC pins (2,10,13,26) electrically isolated and must remain floating.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VHIGH_SENSE (1) | Kelvin sense input | Monitors drain voltage of top MOSFET (M1); sets reference for VLOW_SENSE window and pre-balance timing - critical for fault detection accuracy. |
| G1 (24), G2 (21), G3 (17), G4 (15) | Gate drivers | G1/G3 drive upper MOSFETs with floating BOOST1/BOOST3 rails; G2/G4 drive lower/synchronous MOSFETs referenced to GND or VLOW - enables full-N-channel implementation. |
| ISENSE+ (27), ISENSE− (28) | High-side current sense inputs | Measure differential voltage across external RSENSE at M1 drain; 50mV threshold triggers immediate FAULT assertion - supports pulse-current overload protection. |
| VLOW_SENSE (19), VLOW (20) | Half-voltage monitoring & node | VLOW_SENSE compares against VHIGH_SENSE/2 window; VLOW is the regulated half-voltage output node - forms core of charge-pump voltage division. |
| FREQ (5), HYS_PRGM (3), TIMER (4) | Programmable analog inputs | FREQ sets switching frequency via 10µA sink; HYS_PRGM configures VLOW_SENSE window hysteresis; TIMER sets pre-balance duration and short-circuit retry timeout. |
| FAULT (9), PGOOD (7), RUN (6), UV (8) | Control/status signals | Open-drain FAULT/PGOOD indicate faults or undervoltage; RUN enables/disables operation (1.22V threshold); UV provides system-level undervoltage supervision. |
| INTVCC (12), EXTVCC (11), VCC (14) | Bias supply inputs | VCC powers internal LDO; EXTVCC enables higher-efficiency auxiliary LDO when >6.5V; INTVCC is regulated 5.6V output powering all logic and drivers - requires ≥4.7µF ceramic bypass. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Soft-switching architecture | Enables >99% peak efficiency and ultra-low EMI by minimizing switching losses and eliminating reverse-recovery currents in external MOSFETs. |
| Pre-balance startup sequence | Internally sources 93mA from ISENSE+ to VLOW during power-up to safely equalize flying capacitors before switching - prevents inrush damage. |
| Programmable fault window | HYS_PRGM pin accepts resistor to set asymmetric upper/lower thresholds for VLOW_SENSE vs VHIGH_SENSE/2 - allows tuning for capacitor tolerance and load transient response. |
| High-voltage compatible layout | NC pins (2,10,13,26) and wide creepage spacing in 4mm × 5mm QFN package support reliable operation up to 72V input without PCB creepage compromises. |
| Dual bias supply path | Automatic switchover to EXTVCC LDO when VCC > 7V and EXTVCC > 6.5V reduces IC power dissipation and junction temperature - critical for high-power density designs. |

FAQ
What topology configurations does the LTC7820IUFD#PBF support?
The LTC7820IUFD#PBF supports three fixed-ratio topologies: 2:1 voltage divider (input up to 72V), 1:2 voltage doubler (input up to 36V), and 1:1 inverting (input up to 36V). It does not provide closed-loop regulation - output voltage is determined by capacitor ratios and load conditions. Each mode uses the same four-gate-drive architecture with reconfigured external MOSFET connections, and all modes leverage the same pre-balance, fault protection, and frequency programming features built into the LTC7820IUFD#PBF.
How does the LTC7820IUFD#PBF achieve >99% efficiency?
The LTC7820IUFD#PBF achieves >99% peak efficiency through zero-voltage switching (ZVS) behavior inherent to its charge-pump architecture, which eliminates MOSFET turn-on switching losses and diode reverse-recovery losses. Its precisely timed gate drive sequencing (G1/G3 in-phase, G2/G4 complementary) ensures minimal overlap and optimal capacitor energy transfer. Combined with low-RDS(on) external MOSFET selection and dual-path INTVCC regulation (including EXTVCC option), the LTC7820IUFD#PBF sustains >98.5% efficiency across 20–100% load in validated 48V→24V divider designs.
What is the purpose of the HYS_PRGM pin on the LTC7820IUFD#PBF?
The HYS_PRGM pin on the LTC7820IUFD#PBF programs the hysteresis and asymmetry of the VLOW_SENSE window comparator, which monitors the relationship between VLOW_SENSE and VHIGH_SENSE/2. A resistor from HYS_PRGM to GND sets two independent thresholds - one for rising VLOW_SENSE and another for falling - allowing designers to tune fault sensitivity for capacitor tolerance, temperature drift, and load transient behavior. This programmability ensures reliable operation across production variations without requiring layout changes to the LTC7820IUFD#PBF circuit.
Can the LTC7820IUFD#PBF be used without external MOSFETs?
No, the LTC7820IUFD#PBF cannot be used without external MOSFETs. It is a controller-only IC that provides four high-current gate drivers (G1–G4) but contains no power switches. External N-channel MOSFETs are mandatory for all supported topologies - typically 100V devices for 72V-input divider applications. The LTC7820IUFD#PBF's gate drive strength, timing control, and protection logic are specifically designed to interface with discrete MOSFETs, and no monolithic alternative exists within this product family.
What is the role of the TIMER pin in LTC7820IUFD#PBF operation?
The TIMER pin on the LTC7820IUFD#PBF serves a dual function: it sets the duration of the pre-balance phase during startup (where ISENSE+ sources 93mA to VLOW to equalize flying capacitors) and defines the retry timeout after a fault-induced shutdown. A capacitor from TIMER to GND determines both intervals - larger values increase pre-charge time and fault recovery delay. This single-pin configuration simplifies design while enabling robust start-up into heavy capacitive loads and controlled response to overcurrent or overvoltage events in the LTC7820IUFD#PBF system.
