Product details
Overview
LTC7891RUFDM#TRPBF from Analog Devices is a 100 V, low-quiescent-current synchronous step-down controller optimized for gallium nitride (GaN) FETs. It operates from 4 V to 100 V input, delivers 0.8 V to 60 V output, achieves 5 μA IQ at 48 VIN/5 VOUT, supports 100 kHz–3 MHz programmable frequency, and integrates smart bootstrap switches and split gate drivers - enabling high-efficiency automotive power supplies and telecom DC/DC stages.
For engineers reviewing the LTC7891RUFDM#TRPBF datasheet, LTC7891RUFDM#TRPBF pinout, LTC7891RUFDM#TRPBF application, or LTC7891RUFDM#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include GaN-specific dead time control (DTCA/DTCB), adjustable driver voltage (4 V–5.5 V), AEC-Q100 qualification, 28-lead side-wettable QFN package, and absence of external catch/clamp diodes in design.
Technical Context
The LTC7891RUFDM#TRPBF implements a constant-frequency peak current mode architecture with dual independent gate drivers (TGUP/TGDN for top FET, BGUP/BGDN for bottom FET), internally optimized near-zero dead times (as low as 0.5 ns SW-to-BG rise delay), and adaptive dead time control via DTCA/DTCB pins. Its smart bootstrap switch prevents BOOST overcharge during dead time, eliminating need for external clamp diodes.
It features three independent LDO paths: VIN- and EXTVCC-sourced INTVCC regulators (programmable 4 V–5.5 V via DRVSET), DRVCC powered from INTVCC, and integrated UVLO on DRVCC (adjustable via DRVUV). The controller supports spread spectrum modulation, phase-lockable synchronization (0.1–3 MHz), and selectable light-load modes (Burst, Pulse Skip, Forced Continuous) via MODE pin.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VIN Range | 4 V to 100 V - supports wide-input industrial, automotive, and telecom power rails without pre-regulation. |
| IQ (48 VIN/5 VOUT) | 5 μA - enables ultra-low standby power in always-on systems like ADAS domain controllers. |
| VOUT Range | 0.8 V to 60 V - accommodates core logic, FPGA I/O, and intermediate bus voltages with single controller. |
| Switching Frequency | 100 kHz to 3 MHz - allows optimization of size (high-freq) vs. efficiency (low-freq) across GaN-based designs. |
| Gate Driver Voltage | Adjustable 4 V to 5.5 V - matches threshold and drive requirements of diverse GaN FETs and logic-level MOSFETs. |
| Dead Time Control | Programmable 0.5 ns to 60 ns per edge - prevents shoot-through while maximizing duty cycle in high-VIN/low-VOUT conversion. |
| Package | 28-lead 4 mm × 5 mm side-wettable QFN - supports automated optical inspection (AOI) and high-reliability solder joints for automotive PCBs. |
| AEC-Q100 Grade | Qualified - meets stress test requirements for automotive power systems operating from −40°C to +150°C junction temperature. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 28-lead, 4 mm × 5 mm, side-wettable QFN (RUF) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 29/GND EPAD).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 (PLLIN/SPREAD) | Sync input / Spread spectrum enable | Accepts external clock (0.1–3 MHz) for phase locking; tied to INTVCC enables dithering to reduce EMI peaks. |
| 12 (BGUP), 13 (BGDN) | Bottom FET gate drivers | High-current pull-up (to DRVCC) and pull-down (to GND); Kelvin sensing during switching edges enables precise slew control. |
| 16 (TGDN), 17 (TGUP) | Top FET gate drivers | Pull-down to SW node and pull-up to BOOST supply - eliminates need for floating high-side bias sources. |
| 14 (BOOST), 15 (SW) | Bootstrap supply & switch node | Internal smart switch recharges BOOST capacitor from DRVCC during bottom-FET conduction; no external diode required. |
| 19 (ILIM), 26 (DRVSET), 27 (DRVUV) | Configuration inputs | Select current limit thresholds (25/50/75 mV), INTVCC regulation (4–5.5 V), and DRVCC UVLO/switchover points - all resistor-programmable. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| GaN-optimized gate drive | Split TGUP/TGDN and BGUP/BGDN drivers with <25 ns rise/fall times and sub-ns timing precision eliminate external level shifters and reduce gate loop inductance. |
| No external protection diodes | Integrated smart bootstrap switch and adaptive dead time control remove requirement for catch, clamp, or bootstrap diodes - simplifying BOM and layout. |
| Ultra-low quiescent current | 5 μA operating IQ and 1 μA shutdown current enable >10-year battery life in always-on automotive modules (e.g., telematics, gateway ECUs). |
| Programmable driver voltage | 4 V–5.5 V adjustment via DRVSET resistor network ensures optimal VGS for GaN FETs with varying threshold voltages and minimizes Miller-induced turn-on risk. |
| AEC-Q100 qualified | Validated for automotive use up to +150°C junction temperature - supports under-hood and ADAS power supply applications without derating. |
| Spread spectrum & PLL sync | Reduces peak EMI by up to 20% and enables synchronized multi-phase operation across distributed power domains in vehicle ECUs. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar synchronous step-down controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC7803IUFD#PBF | 40 V max VIN, no GaN-specific dead time control, fixed 5 V gate drive, no spread spectrum. | Suitable for lower-voltage silicon-MOSFET designs only; lacks AEC-Q100 qualification and 100 V transient handling. | Select when cost-sensitive, non-automotive 12–24 V systems require simpler control and lower gate drive complexity. |
| LM5145QPWPRQ1 | 65 V max VIN, external bootstrap diode required, no side-wettable QFN, higher 15 μA IQ. | Designed for automotive but limited to 65 V; requires additional components for GaN compatibility and fails AOI inspection without side-wettable leads. | Choose only if legacy LM5145 design reuse is mandatory and 100 V capability is not required. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LTC7891RUFDM#TRPBF?
The LTC7891RUFDM#TRPBF supports an absolute maximum input voltage of +100 V on the VIN pin, with operational range from 4 V to 100 V. This 100 V rating enables direct connection to 48 V and 60 V industrial buses and withstands 100 V transients per ISO 7637-2 and MIL-STD-704F standards - critical for automotive and avionics applications where load dump events occur.
Does the LTC7891RUFDM#TRPBF require external bootstrap diodes?
No, the LTC7891RUFDM#TRPBF does not require external bootstrap diodes. Its internal smart bootstrap switch automatically recharges the BOOST capacitor from DRVCC during bottom-FET conduction and prevents overcharging during dead time - eliminating external diodes, reducing component count, and improving reliability in high-vibration environments such as automotive chassis mounting.
How is dead time controlled on the LTC7891RUFDM#TRPBF?
Dead time on the LTC7891RUFDM#TRPBF is controlled independently per switching edge using two dedicated pins: DTCA sets bottom-FET-off to top-FET-on delay (20 ns adaptive or 0.5–60 ns programmable), and DTCB sets top-FET-off to bottom-FET-on delay (20 ns adaptive or 0.5–60 ns programmable). This dual-pin architecture enables precise shoot-through prevention while maximizing duty cycle in high-step-down ratios.
What output voltage ranges does the LTC7891RUFDM#TRPBF support?
The LTC7891RUFDM#TRPBF supports regulated output voltages from 0.8 V to 60 V. When VPRG is floating, feedback is set to 0.8 V with external resistor divider; tying VPRG to GND or INTVCC selects fixed 5 V or 12 V outputs. This flexibility allows single-controller support for core logic (0.8–1.2 V), I/O (1.8–3.3 V), and intermediate bus (12–48 V) rails across diverse end equipment.
Is the LTC7891RUFDM#TRPBF qualified for automotive applications?
Yes, the LTC7891RUFDM#TRPBF is AEC-Q100 qualified for automotive applications. It is rated for operation from −40°C to +150°C junction temperature, undergoes stress testing per AEC-Q100 Rev H, and is manufactured in certified automotive-grade facilities - making it suitable for engine control units, ADAS domain controllers, and infotainment power supplies where reliability and temperature resilience are mandatory.
