Product details
Overview
LTC7820IUFD#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a fixed-ratio, high-voltage, inductorless switched-capacitor DC/DC controller for voltage divider (2:1 step-down), doubler (1:2 step-up), or inverter (1:1) topologies. It drives four external N-channel MOSFETs with 50% duty cycle at programmable 100kHz–1MHz frequency, supports up to 72V input in divider mode, delivers >99% peak efficiency, and targets intermediate bus conversion in high-power distributed systems.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7820IUFD#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7820IUFD#TRPBF pinout, LTC7820IUFD#TRPBF application, or LTC7820IUFD#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its no-inductor charge-pump architecture, high-voltage gate drive timing (G1/G2/G3/G4), VHIGH_SENSE/VLOW_SENSE Kelvin sensing, EXTVCC-supported efficiency optimization, and fault-protected startup sequence with pre-balance timer.
Technical Context
The LTC7820IUFD#TRPBF implements open-loop, constant-frequency switched-capacitor control with anti-shoot-through logic and precise gate driver timing: G1/G2 tD = 50ns, G3/G4 tD = 60ns, and G1/G3 tD = 5ns. It uses floating bootstrap supplies (BOOST1–BOOST3) to bias high-side drivers and relies on external flying capacitors (CFLY) and output capacitors (CVLOW) for energy transfer.
Operation requires Kelvin-sensed VHIGH_SENSE (0–72V range) and VLOW_SENSE (0–36V range), with window-comparator-based fault detection set via HYS_PRGM. Input current sensing occurs at ISENSE+/ISENSE– with 50mV overcurrent threshold, and soft-start is controlled by TIMER pin capacitor programming.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology Support | Voltage divider (2:1), doubler (1:2), or inverter (1:1); no inductors required. |
| Input Voltage Range | Up to 72V for divider mode; up to 36V for doubler/inverter mode - defines max system bus voltage compatibility. |
| Switching Frequency | 100kHz to 1MHz, linearly programmed via FREQ pin current (10µA sink) - balances efficiency vs. capacitor size. |
| Peak Efficiency | Over 99% at 5A load (48V→24V), enabled by soft-switching and low RDS(on) gate drive (RG1,3 = 2.4Ω pull-up). |
| Fault Protections | Programmable overcurrent (50mV sense threshold), VLOW_SENSE window fault, UVLO (INTVCC = 4.85–5.05V), and thermal shutdown. |
| Package & Thermal | 28-pin 4mm × 5mm QFN with exposed GND pad (θJA = 43°C/W); rated for –40°C to 125°C junction temperature. |
| Power Supply Options | INTVCC regulated from VCC (6–72V) or EXTVCC (12–40V); EXTVCC switchover at 6.5V improves efficiency at high input voltages. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead (4mm × 5mm) plastic QFN (UFD), thermally enhanced with exposed GND pad (Pin 29) requiring PCB soldering for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VHIGH_SENSE (1) | Kelvin input for top MOSFET drain voltage | Enables accurate high-side voltage monitoring up to 72V; critical for VLOW pre-balance and fault windowing. |
| G1 (24), G2 (21), G3 (17), G4 (15) | N-channel MOSFET gate drivers | G1/G3 drive upper MOSFETs with BOOST1/BOOST3 referenced swing; G2/G4 drive lower/synchronous MOSFETs with ground-referenced or VLOW-referenced swing. |
| ISENSE+ (27), ISENSE– (28) | High-side current sense inputs | Measure differential voltage across external RSENSE; 50mV threshold triggers FAULT for overcurrent protection. |
| VLOW_SENSE (19), VLOW (20) | Half-voltage node sensing and output | VLOW_SENSE monitors VLOW (target = VHIGH_SENSE/2); used for window fault detection and startup validation. |
| FREQ (5), TIMER (4), HYS_PRGM (3) | Configuration and timing control | FREQ sets switching frequency (10µA sink); TIMER programs pre-balance time and short-circuit retry; HYS_PRGM sets VLOW_SENSE window hysteresis. |
| FAULT (9), PGOOD (7), RUN (6) | System status and control | Open-drain FAULT indicates active faults; PGOOD signals valid operation when RUN high and no faults; RUN enables/disables controller (1.14V/1.22V thresholds). |
| EXTVCC (11), INTVCC (12), VCC (14) | Power supply inputs and outputs | VCC powers internal LDO; EXTVCC (12–40V) enables more efficient INTVCC regulation when VCC > 7V; INTVCC supplies all drivers and logic (5.4–5.9V). |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Inductorless charge-pump architecture | Eliminates magnetic components - reduces board area, EMI, and cost in high-power intermediate bus converters. |
| Four synchronized gate drivers with timing control | Guaranteed dead-time (G1/G2 = 50ns, G3/G4 = 60ns) prevents shoot-through and enables reliable high-voltage MOSFET switching. |
| VLOW pre-balance circuitry | 93mA source capability from ISENSE+ to VLOW during startup ensures safe capacitor voltage equalization before switching begins. |
| Programmable fault response | Timer-settable short-circuit retry delay and configurable VLOW_SENSE window (via HYS_PRGM resistor) enable application-specific fault recovery. |
| High-voltage compatible pin spacing | No-connect pins (2, 10, 13, 26) isolate adjacent high-voltage nodes (e.g., BOOST1/SW1, BOOST2/VLOW), supporting 72V operation in compact layout. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar fixed-ratio charge-pump controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MPQ4269GJ-A | Monolithic 2:1 charge-pump IC (integrated MOSFETs); max 36V input; no EXTVCC or VLOW_SENSE window programming. | Suitable for lower-power (<100W), space-constrained designs where integration outweighs flexibility. | Select MPQ4269GJ-A when board area is primary constraint and input voltage ≤36V; LTC7820IUFD#TRPBF preferred for >36V or programmable fault behavior. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC7820IUFD#TRPBF in voltage divider mode?
The LTC7820IUFD#TRPBF supports up to 72V input voltage in voltage divider (2:1 step-down) mode, as confirmed by absolute maximum ratings and electrical characteristics tables. This rating applies specifically to VHIGH_SENSE and VIN connections in divider configurations; for doubler or inverter modes, the maximum input is limited to 36V per datasheet specifications.
How does the LTC7820IUFD#TRPBF achieve >99% peak efficiency without inductors?
The LTC7820IUFD#TRPBF achieves >99% peak efficiency through soft-switching operation enabled by precise gate timing (e.g., G1/G2 tD = 50ns), low-RDS(on) external MOSFET control, minimized flying capacitor voltage differential, and optimized charge transfer cycles - all verified in typical application measurements at 48V→24V/5A with 100kHz–300kHz switching.
Can the LTC7820IUFD#TRPBF be used in voltage doubler or inverter configurations?
Yes, the LTC7820IUFD#TRPBF supports three configurations: voltage divider (2:1), voltage doubler (1:2), and inverter (1:1). Datasheet Figures 8 and 9 explicitly demonstrate 24V→48V doubling and 24V→–24V inversion, with corresponding VHIGH_SENSE/VLOW_SENSE connections, BOOST pin assignments, and fault behavior validated for each mode.
What is the role of the HYS_PRGM pin on the LTC7820IUFD#TRPBF?
The HYS_PRGM pin on the LTC7820IUFD#TRPBF programs the hysteresis width of the VLOW_SENSE window comparator. A resistor from HYS_PRGM to GND sets two voltage thresholds (e.g., 12.2V/11.6V at VHYS_PRGM = 0V) that define acceptable deviation of VLOW_SENSE from VHIGH_SENSE/2 - critical for startup validation and fault detection in all operating modes.
Does the LTC7820IUFD#TRPBF require external components for startup pre-balancing?
Yes, the LTC7820IUFD#TRPBF integrates pre-balance circuitry but requires an external capacitor on the TIMER pin to set the duration of the VLOW pre-charge phase. During this period, the IC sources 93mA from ISENSE+ to VLOW to equalize flying capacitor voltages - preventing inrush current damage before steady-state switching begins.
