rent can be less than 7µA when operating and is ~0.3µA
when SWEN is low. The LT8494 can be configured as
either a SEPIC, boost or flyback converter.
The low ripple Burst Mode operation maintains high
efficiency at low output current while keeping output rip-
ple below 10mV. Dual supply pins (V
IN
and BIAS) allow
the part to automatically operate from the most efficient
supply. Input supply voltage can be up to 60V for SEPIC
topologies and up to 32V (with ride-through up to 60V)
for boost and flyback topologies. After start-up, battery
life is extended since the part can draw current from its
output (BIAS) even when V
IN
voltage drops below 2.5V.
Using a resistor divider on the SWEN pin provides a pro-
grammable undervoltage lockout (UVLO) for the con-
verter. A power good flag signals when V
OUT
reaches 92%
of the programmed output voltage.
Additional features such as frequency foldback and soft-
start are integrated. The LT8494 is available in 20-lead
QFN and 20-lead TSSOP packages with exposed pads
for low thermal resistance. Fault tolerance in the TSSOP
allows for adjacent pin shorts or an open without raising
the output voltage above its programmed value.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
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. Voltages are with respect to GND pin unless
otherwise noted.
Note 2:
The LT8494E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C 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
LT8494I is guaranteed to meet performance specifications from –40°C
to 125°C junction temperature. The LT8494H is guaranteed over the full
–40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range. Operation lifetime is
derated at junction temperatures greater than 125°C.
Note 3:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions.
Junction temperature will exceed the maximum operating range when
overtemperature protection is active. Continuous operation above the
specified maximum operating junction temperature may impair device
reliability.
Note 4:
See Power Supplies and Operating Limits in the Applications
Information section for more details.
Note 5:
Current limit guaranteed by design and/or correlation to static test.
Slope Compensation reduces current limit at higher duty cycles.
Note 6:
Max duty cycle current limit measured at 1MHz switching
frequency.
Note 7:
Polarity specification for all currents into pins is positive. All
voltages are referenced to GND unless otherwise specified.
