Product details
Overview
LT1082CN8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic high-voltage current-mode switching regulator IC with an integrated 1A power switch, 60kHz oscillator, and flyback regulation capability. It operates from 3V to 75V input, supports up to 100V switch voltage, draws only 4.5mA quiescent current, and delivers up to 20W output without external power devices - used in telecom −48V-to-5V converters and isolated industrial supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT1082CN8#PBF datasheet, LT1082CN8#PBF pinout, LT1082CN8#PBF application, or LT1082CN8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include verified 100V switch breakdown, confirmed 1.244V reference voltage tolerance, validated flyback mode operation at 16.2–20.5V reference range, and documented thermal derating for N8-package plastic DIP at θJA = 90°C/W.
Technical Context
The LT1082CN8#PBF implements current-mode control: switch duty cycle is set by real-time switch current sensing rather than output voltage feedback alone, enabling fast line transient response and inherent pulse-by-pulse current limiting. Its internal 1.244V bandgap reference feeds an error amplifier with 4400µmho transconductance and 650V/V gain, while the VC pin serves dual roles - compensation node and shutdown control - pulling below 0.15V reduces supply current to 120µA.
It features two operating modes: standard regulation (FB pin senses output via resistive divider) and isolated flyback mode (FB pin biased at 60–200µA to regulate flyback pulse amplitude), eliminating optocouplers. A unique short-circuit protection shifts switching frequency from 60kHz to 12kHz when FB pin current reaches ~350µA, critical for −70V telecom inputs.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 75V - enables direct operation from unregulated industrial rails or telecom −48V sources with minimal pre-regulation. |
| Switch Breakdown Voltage | 100V - supports boost/flyback topologies with ≥25V headroom above 75V max input, reducing need for external snubbers. |
| Reference Voltage | 1.244V ±20mV - tight tolerance ensures stable output regulation across temperature; used directly for feedback loop setpoint. |
| Quiescent Current | 4.5mA typical - minimizes no-load power loss in battery-backed or always-on systems. |
| Switch Current Limit | 1.07A at 20% duty cycle - defines maximum deliverable power before foldback; decreases linearly to 0.8A at 80% duty cycle. |
| Flyback Reference Voltage | 18.6V typical (IFB = 60µA) - sets isolated output voltage scaling; varies ±1.5V over IFB = 60–200µA range. |
| Shutdown Supply Current | 120µA typical - allows ultra-low-power standby in remote monitoring or safety-critical systems. |
Pinout & Package
N8 package: 8-lead plastic DIP (0.300" wide), JEDEC MS-001, θJA = 90°C/W, rated for 0°C to 100°C junction temperature. Pin 1 = VIN, Pin 2 = VSW, Pin 3 = GND, Pin 4 = FB, Pin 5 = VC, Pin 6 = NC, Pin 7 = E2 (switch emitter), Pin 8 = E1 (switch emitter). E1 must be connected to GND; E2 optional for current limit reduction.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (Pin 1) | Main power input | Accepts 3V–75V unregulated DC; powers internal 2.3V low-dropout regulator for all circuitry. |
| VSW (Pin 2) | Switch collector output | Drives external inductor/transformer; withstands 100V breakdown; connects to primary winding in flyback/forward topologies. |
| GND (Pin 3) | Power and signal ground | Common return for internal logic, error amp, and switch emitter (E1); separate E2 pin avoids ground-loop errors. |
| FB (Pin 4) | Feedback input | Senses output voltage divider or flyback pulse; 1.244V reference sets regulation point; 350nA bias current enables high-impedance sensing. |
| VC (Pin 5) | Error amplifier output / control | Provides compensation node (capacitor to GND), soft-start interface (capacitor to GND), and shutdown trigger (≤0.15V). |
| NC (Pin 6) | No connect | Not bonded internally; must remain unconnected per datasheet to avoid parasitic coupling. |
| E2 (Pin 7) | Secondary switch emitter | Optional connection; leaving open halves switch current limit (to ~0.5A) but doubles RDS(on), trading efficiency for overload safety. |
| E1 (Pin 8) | Primary switch emitter | Mandatory GND connection; carries full switch current; separates power and signal ground paths to minimize noise injection. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Integrated 1A switch with anti-saturation driver | Eliminates external MOSFET/BJT and gate driver; adaptive anti-sat circuit minimizes turn-off delay and conduction loss. |
| Current-mode control architecture | Enables immediate line transient response, simplifies loop compensation, and provides inherent cycle-by-cycle current limiting under overload. |
| Isolated flyback regulation mode | Regulates floating outputs without optocouplers or extra transformer windings by sensing flyback pulse amplitude at FB pin. |
| Frequency shift-down short-circuit protection | Automatically reduces switching frequency from 60kHz to 12kHz when FB pin sinks 350µA, maintaining regulation under severe overload at high input voltages. |
| External synchronization capability | Accepts 75–90kHz sync pulses via VC pin, enabling noise-sensitive applications to avoid EMI bands or synchronize multiple regulators. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT1082CN8#PBF?
The LT1082CN8#PBF has an absolute maximum supply voltage of 75V and a switch breakdown voltage of 100V. It is rated for continuous operation from 3V to 75V input, making it suitable for telecom −48V systems (with appropriate polarity handling) and industrial 24–72V rails. Exceeding 75V on VIN risks permanent damage, even if VSW remains below 100V.
Does the LT1082CN8#PBF support isolated flyback regulation without an optocoupler?
Yes, the LT1082CN8#PBF supports fully isolated flyback regulation using its dedicated flyback mode: when the FB pin is biased with 60–200µA, the IC regulates the amplitude of the reflected flyback pulse instead of the output voltage directly. This eliminates the need for optocouplers or auxiliary windings, enabling compact, reliable isolated supplies - a core design feature confirmed in AN19 and the LT1082CN8#PBF datasheet.
How does the LT1082CN8#PBF implement short-circuit protection?
The LT1082CN8#PBF implements unique short-circuit protection by shifting switching frequency from 60kHz to 12kHz when FB pin current reaches ~350µA - a condition occurring during output shorts in flyback configurations with high input voltage (e.g., −70V telecom). This low-frequency mode maintains regulation headroom where standard current limiting fails, and is explicitly documented in the LT1082CN8#PBF datasheet Figure G03 and operational description.
What is the purpose of the E1 and E2 pins on the LT1082CN8#PBF N8 package?
E1 (Pin 8) is the primary switch emitter and must be connected to GND. E2 (Pin 7) is the secondary emitter; leaving it unconnected reduces the switch current limit by ~2× (to ~0.5A) and doubles RDS(on), providing a simple hardware method to trade peak output current for enhanced overload safety - a feature specific to the LT1082CN8#PBF's MiniDIP variants and detailed in the "Extra Pins" section of its datasheet.
Can the LT1082CN8#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LT1082CN8#PBF supports external synchronization in the 75kHz to 90kHz range via the VC pin: applying a narrow (<1µs) ground pulse synchronizes the internal 60kHz oscillator. This capability is confirmed in the "LT1082 Synchronizing" section (page 9) of the official datasheet and enables EMI reduction and multi-regulator phase alignment - though it requires careful pulse-width control to avoid offset voltage shifts.
