DESCRIPTION  
The LT®8393 is a synchronous 4-switch buck-boost LED  
n
4-Switch Single Inductor Architecture Allows V  
IN  
controller that regulates LED current from input volt-  
age above, below, or equal to the output voltage. The  
proprietary peak-buck peak-boost current mode control  
scheme allows adjustable and synchronizable 350kHz to  
2MHz fixed frequency operation, or internal 25% triangle  
spread spectrum operation for low EMI. With 4V to 60V  
input, 0V to 100V output, and seamless low noise transi-  
tions between operation regions, the LT8393 is ideal for  
LEDdriverandbatterychargerapplicationsinautomotive,  
industrial, and battery-powered systems.

The LT8393 provides both internal (up to 128:1) and  
external (up to 2000:1) LED current PWM dimming with  
10V of high side PMOS gate drive. The CTRL pin provides  
flexible 20:1 analog dimming with 4% LED current ac-  
curacy at 100mV full scale. Fault protection is provided to  
detect an open or short LED condition, during which the  
LT8393 retries, latches off, or keeps running.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS The l denotes the specifications which apply over the full operating  
temperature range, otherwise specifications are at TA = 25°C. (Note 2). VIN = 12V, VEN/UVLO = 1.5V unless otherwise noted.  
Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings  
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute  
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device  
reliability and lifetime.  
Note 2: The LT8393E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications  
from 0°C to 125°C operating junction temperature. Specifications over  
the –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by  
design, characterization and correlation with statistical process controls.  
The LT8393J and LT8393H are guaranteed over the –40°C to 150°C  
operating junction temperature range. High junction temperatures degrade  
operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated at junction temperatures  
greater than 125°C.  
Note 3: The LT8393 includes overtemperature protection that is intended  
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction  
temperature will exceed 150°C when overtemperature protection is active.  
Continuous operation above the specified absolute maximum operating  
junction temperature may impair device reliability.

PIN FUNCTIONS  
PWM: PWM Dimming Input. The PWM pin can be used  
in two ways: external PWM dimming and internal PWM  
dimming. For external PWM dimming, drive this pin with  
a digital pulse from 0V to a voltage higher than 1.5V to  
control PWM dimming of the LED string. Make sure the  
RP pin is tied to ground in this case. For internal PWM  
dimming, apply an analog voltage between 1V and 2V to  
generate an internal digital pulse by comparing with the  
internal ramp. If PWM dimming is not used, tie this pin to

OPERATION  
The LT8393 is a current mode LED controller that can  
regulate LED current from input voltages above, below,  
or equal to the LED string voltage. The LTC proprietary  
peak-buck peak-boost current mode control scheme uses  
a single inductor current sense resistor and provides  
smooth transition between the buck region, buck-boost  
region, and boost region. Its operation is best understood  
by referring to the Block Diagram.

Light Load Current Operation  
At light load, the LT8393 typically still runs at its full  
switching frequency in either continuous conduction  
modeordiscontinuousconductionmodebecauseboththe  
buck and boost reverse current sense thresholds are set  
to –4mV. The negative reverse current sense thresholds  
allow a small amount of energy flowing from the output  
to the input on every cycle, thereby preventing the pulse-  
skip frequency from going below 100Hz, which causes  
the LED string to flicker.

Main Control Loop  
However, when a smaller value inductor is used and the  
inductor current ripple is bigger, the LT8393 may run in  
pulse-skip mode, where the switches are held off for mul-  
tiple cycles (i.e., skipping pulses) to maintain regulation.  
The LT8393 is a fixed frequency current mode control-  
ler. The inductor current is sensed through the inductor  
sense resistor between the LSP and LSN pins. The current  
sense voltage is gained up by amplifier A1 and added to  
a slope compensation ramp signal from the internal os-  
cillator. The summing signal is then fed into the positive  
terminals of the buck current comparator A3 and boost  
current comparator A4. The negative terminals of A3 and

dition for the LED string before delivering any switching  
energy. In the case of a higher voltage output capacitor  
connected to a lower voltage LED string, the excessive  
current flowing through the LED string and current sense  
resistortriggerstheISP/ISNovercurrent(ISOC)signaland  
resets the LT8393 back into the POR state. The LT8393  
will hiccup with SS pin between 0V and 0.25V and bypass  
the POR, INIT, UP/PRE, and UP/TRY states to slowly  
discharge the voltage output capacitor until its voltage  
gets closer to the lower voltage LED string. After 10µs in  
the UP/TRY state without triggering the ISOC signal, the  
LT8393 enters the UP/RUN state.  
The LT8393 enters shutdown mode and drains less than  
2µA quiescent current when the EN/UVLO pin is below its  
shutdown threshold (0.3V minimum). Once the EN/UVLO  
pin is above its shutdown threshold (1V maximum), the  
LT8393 wakes up startup circuitry, generates bandgap  
reference, and powers up the internal INTV LDO. The

down with a 100Ω to ground. In a pre-biased condition,  
the SS pin has to be pulled below 0.2V to enter the INIT

be fully discharged to ground. After the 10µs, the LT8393

external capacitor from the SS pin to GND. The internal

Switching Frequency Setting  
The switching frequency of the LT8393 can be set by the

Switching Frequency Selection  
Table 1. Switching Frequency vs RT Value (1% Resistor)  
The LT8393 uses a constant frequency control scheme  
between 350kHz and 2MHz. Selection of the switching  
frequency is a tradeoff between efficiency and component  
size. Low frequency operation improves efficiency by  
reducing MOSFET switching losses, but requires larger  
inductor and capacitor values. For high power applica-  
tions, consideroperatingatlowerfrequenciestominimize  
MOSFET heating from switching losses. For low power  
applications, consider operating at higher frequencies to

the SS pin is above 1.75V and the PWM signal is high.  
Programming Output Voltage and Thresholds  
The LT8393 has a voltage feedback pin FB that can be  
used to program a constant-voltage output. The output  
voltage can be set by selecting the values of R3 and R4  
(Figure 14) according to the following equation:  
Soft-Start and Fault Protection  
As shown in and explained in the Operation section, the  
SS pin can be used to program soft-start by connecting an  
external capacitor from the SS pin to ground. The internal  
12.5µA pull-up current charges up the capacitor, creat-  
ing a voltage ramp on the SS pin. As the SS pin voltage  
rises linearly from 0.25V to 1V (and beyond), the output  
voltage rises smoothly and transitions into LED current  
regulation. Thesoft-startrangeisdefinedtobethevoltage

LED driver application with small output capacitors, the  
output voltage usually overshoots a lot during an open  
LED event. Although the 1.00V FB regulation loop tries to  
regulate the output, the loop is usually too slow to prevent  
the output from overshooting. Once the FB pin hits its  
overvoltage threshold 1.05V, the LT8393 stops switching  
by turning off TG1, BG1, TG2, and BG2, and also turns off  
PWMTG to disconnect the LED string for protection. The  
output overvoltage threshold can be set as:  
Make sure the C is at least five to ten times larger than

C
capacitor is a good starting point.  
The SS pin is also used as a fault timer. Once an open  
LED or a short LED fault is detected, a 1.25µA pull-down  
current source is activated. Using a single resistor from  
the SS pin to the V pin, the LT8393 can be set to three

Efficiency Considerations  
PC Board Layout Checklist  
The power efficiency of a switching regulator is equal to  
the output power divided by the input power times 100%.  
It is often useful to analyze individual losses to determine  
what is limiting the efficiency and which change would  
produce the most improvement. Although all dissipative  
elements in circuits produce losses, four main sources  
account for most of the losses in LT8393 circuits:  
The basic PC board layout requires a dedicated ground  
plane layer. Also, for high current, a multilayer board  
provides heat sinking for power components.
