Product details
Overview
LT1245IS8#PBF from Analog Devices is an 8-pin, fixed-frequency, current-mode PWM controller IC optimized for off-line and DC/DC converters. It delivers 500 kHz switching capability, features a 1 A totem-pole output stage, 5 V ±1% trimmed bandgap reference, and active undervoltage lockout with 8.4 V start-up threshold and 0.4 V hysteresis - enabling reliable operation in industrial AC/DC power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT1245IS8#PBF datasheet, LT1245IS8#PBF pinout, LT1245IS8#PBF application, or LT1245IS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 50 ns current sense delay, leading-edge blanking, oscillator frequency trim (±5% typical), 18 V output clamp, and compatibility with UC1845-based designs requiring extended temperature range support.
Technical Context
The LT1245IS8#PBF implements fixed-frequency current-mode control using an internal oscillator whose frequency and sink current (8.2 mA typ.) are both trimmed for tight tolerance. Its error amplifier provides 90 dB open-loop gain and 1 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, with feedback referenced to a stable 2.5 V internal node derived from the 5 V bandgap reference.
Current sensing employs a comparator with 100 ns blanking time (at VFB = 2.5 V), a 1 V internal clamp on the inverting input, and 70 dB PSRR. The output stage uses a high-current totem pole capable of ±1 A drive into capacitive loads, with 40 ns rise and 30 ns fall times (CL = 1 nF), and active low pull-down during UVLO.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to 100°C - supports industrial-grade AC/DC converter deployment without derating. |
| Oscillator Frequency | Up to 1 MHz (500 kHz output) - enables compact magnetics and high-efficiency power stages. |
| Reference Voltage | 5.000 V ±1% (4.925–5.075 V) - ensures precise RT/CT timing and stable feedback divider biasing. |
| Start-Up Current | < 250 µA (170 µA typ.) - minimizes bleed resistor losses in offline flyback startup networks. |
| Output Drive | ±1 A peak - directly drives large gate capacitance MOSFETs without external buffers. |
| UVLO Threshold | 8.4 V start-up / 7.6 V minimum operating / 0.4 V hysteresis - prevents erratic latching during brownout conditions. |
| Current Sense Delay | 50 ns - enables accurate cycle-by-cycle current limiting at high switching frequencies. |
Pinout & Package
S8 package: 8-lead plastic SOIC, 1.27 mm pitch, JEDEC MS-012AC compliant, thermal resistance θJA = 150°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - COMP | Error amplifier output | Provides loop compensation node; sources 0.5 mA / sinks 2 mA min; used to clamp current sense threshold. |
| 2 - FB | Inverting input of error amplifier | Internally biased to 2.5 V reference; accepts voltage feedback from output divider; sets blanking time. |
| 3 - ISENSE | Current sense comparator input | Accepts sensed voltage across Rs; trip point proportional to COMP output; includes 100 ns blanking. |
| 4 - RT/CT | Oscillator timing node | RC network sets frequency and deadtime; CT charges from VREF via RT; discharge current trimmed to 8.2 mA. |
| 5 - GND | Analog and power ground | Common return for all internal circuitry; requires dedicated low-impedance PCB trace to minimize noise coupling. |
| 6 - OUTPUT | Totem-pole driver output | Drives MOSFET gate; clamped to ≤18 V; actively pulled low (~1 V) during UVLO; ±1 A capable. |
| 7 - VCC | Positive supply input | Operates from 7.6 V to 25 V; powers internal bias circuits; bypass with ≥0.1 µF ceramic near pin. |
| 8 - VREF | 5 V bandgap reference output | Supplies RT charging current; powers internal logic; can source up to 20 mA; pulled low during UVLO. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Trimmed oscillator sink current | 8.2 mA ±0.3 mA - ensures consistent deadtime and maximum duty cycle across temperature and unit variance. |
| Active UVLO pull-down | VREF and OUTPUT pulled to ~1 V - eliminates need for external gate pull-down resistors and enables soft-start capacitor reset. |
| Leading-edge blanking | 100 ns fixed duration (VFB = 2.5 V) - suppresses transformer leakage spike false triggering without slowing current loop response. |
| High-speed output stage | 40 ns rise / 30 ns fall (CL = 1 nF) - preserves pulse fidelity at 500 kHz and reduces EMI from slow edges. |
| 18 V output clamp | Internal Zener-like clamp - protects MOSFET gate oxide from overvoltage during transients or layout parasitics. |
Applications
| Industrial AC/DC Power Supplies | Isolated DC/DC Converters |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-mode PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UC1845N | Same pinout, but higher start-up current (1 mA), no oscillator trim, no leading-edge blanking, 0°C to 70°C only. | Limited to commercial-temp consumer power supplies; lacks industrial robustness and noise immunity. | Choose UC1845N only if cost is critical and ambient temperature stays below 70°C with clean input rails. |
| UCC38C45D | Pin-compatible SOIC-8, 1 A output, 500 kHz max, but 5 V reference not trimmed (±2%), no active UVLO pull-down, 0°C to 70°C. | Requires external pull-down resistors; less stable timing due to untrimmed oscillator; unsuitable for wide-temp industrial use. | Select UCC38C45D only for legacy redesigns where footprint reuse is mandatory and temperature range is constrained. |
Compared with UC1845N and UCC38C45D, the LT1245IS8#PBF offers tighter reference and oscillator tolerances, built-in blanking, active UVLO pull-down, and extended temperature range - making it the preferred choice for new industrial power designs demanding reliability and noise immunity.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LT1245IS8#PBF?
The LT1245IS8#PBF is rated for –40°C to 100°C junction temperature, matching the "I" grade designation in its part number. This extended range supports deployment in industrial environments without forced cooling, unlike commercial-grade alternatives such as UC1845N (0°C to 70°C). The S8 package's θJA of 150°C/W must be considered in thermal design.
How does the LT1245IS8#PBF differ from the LT1242IS8#PBF in terms of UVLO behavior?
The LT1245IS8#PBF has an 8.4 V start-up threshold and 7.6 V minimum operating voltage with 0.4 V hysteresis, while the LT1242IS8#PBF uses a 15 V start-up threshold and 9.0 V minimum with 5.5 V hysteresis. This makes the LT1245IS8#PBF suitable for lower-input-voltage DC/DC applications, whereas LT1242IS8#PBF targets higher-voltage offline designs.
Can the LT1245IS8#PBF drive a 2000 pF MOSFET gate directly?
Yes - the LT1245IS8#PBF's ±1 A totem-pole output is specified for capacitive loads up to 2000 pF per cycle, with 40 ns rise and 30 ns fall times measured at 1 nF. Driving larger gates may require verifying slew rate and power dissipation, but typical 600–1200 V MOSFETs (e.g., MPT2N60) are fully supported per the TA06 reference design.
What is the purpose of the blanking function on the ISENSE pin of the LT1245IS8#PBF?
The blanking function disables the current sense comparator for 100 ns after each OUTPUT turn-on edge, preventing false triggering from leading-edge spikes caused by transformer leakage inductance or diode reverse recovery. This eliminates the need for RC filtering at ISENSE, preserving current-loop speed and reducing short-circuit peak current in fault conditions.
Does the LT1245IS8#PBF support external clock synchronization?
No - the LT1245IS8#PBF uses a self-contained, trimmed RC oscillator and does not provide an external sync input pin. Unlike some later controllers (e.g., LT3748), synchronization requires replacing the RT/CT network with a current-source-driven sawtooth generator, which is not recommended. For sync capability, consider the LT3748 or UC3846 family instead.
