Product details
Overview
LT1245IS8#TRPBF from Analog Devices is an 8-pin, fixed-frequency, current-mode PWM controller optimized for off-line and DC/DC converters. It delivers 1A totem-pole output drive, operates up to 500kHz switching frequency, features 50ns current sense delay with leading-edge blanking, and includes active pull-down during undervoltage lockout (UVLO) at 8.4V start-up threshold. It drives power MOSFETs in isolated flyback and forward converters.
For engineers reviewing the LT1245IS8#TRPBF datasheet, LT1245IS8#TRPBF pinout, LT1245IS8#TRPBF application, or LT1245IS8#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include UVLO hysteresis (0.4V), ±1A output drive capability, 50ns current sense propagation delay, trimmed oscillator sink current (8.2mA typ), and compatibility with UC1845-based designs requiring extended temperature range support.
Technical Context
The LT1245IS8#TRPBF implements a fixed-frequency current-mode control architecture where the oscillator sets both switching frequency and deadtime via external RT/CT network, with trimmed 8.2mA discharge current enabling tight frequency tolerance. Its error amplifier provides 90dB DC gain and 1MHz unity-gain bandwidth, referenced to an internal 2.5V node derived from the 5V bandgap reference.
Current sensing uses a comparator with 100ns blanking time (at VFB = 2.5V), clamped input threshold (0.9–1.1V), and 70dB PSRR. The output stage eliminates cross-conduction spikes and clamps high-level voltage to 18V, while UVLO actively pulls down both OUTPUT (Pin 6) and VREF (Pin 8) to ~1V during undervoltage conditions.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 500kHz max output frequency (oscillator runs at 1MHz); enables compact magnetics in high-density SMPS designs. |
| UVLO Start Threshold | 8.4V with 0.4V hysteresis; ensures reliable startup after bulk capacitor charging in universal-input AC/DC supplies. |
| Output Drive Current | ±1A peak; directly drives large gate capacitance of 600V+ MOSFETs without external buffer stages. |
| Current Sense Delay | 50ns typical; minimizes minimum on-time limitation and improves light-load regulation in high-frequency converters. |
| Reference Voltage | 5.000V ±1% (4.925–5.075V); powers RT resistor and provides stable bias for feedback divider and clamp circuitry. |
| Start-Up Current | <250µA (170µA typ); reduces bleed resistor power loss in high-voltage offline applications. |
| Oscillator Sink Current | 8.2mA ±0.3mA; tightly trimmed to ensure consistent deadtime and duty cycle accuracy across temperature and unit variance. |
Pinout & Package
S8 package: 8-lead plastic SOIC, –40°C to 125°C operating temperature range, 150°C/W thermal resistance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| COMP (1) | Error amplifier output | Provides loop compensation node; sources 0.5mA / sinks 2mA; used to adjust current sense clamp level below 1V. |
| FB (2) | Inverting input of error amplifier | Internally referenced to 2.5V; accepts resistive feedback from output to regulate voltage with 2.42–2.58V input window. |
| ISENSE (3) | Current sense comparator input | Trips at 0.9–1.1V threshold; blanked for 100ns after switch turn-on to reject transformer leakage spikes. |
| RT/CT (4) | Oscillator timing node | Connects external RT (to VREF) and CT (to GND); sets frequency and deadtime via RC time constant and 8.2mA sink current. |
| GND (5) | Analog ground reference | Common return for feedback network, oscillator capacitor, and power stage; must be star-connected to minimize noise coupling. |
| OUTPUT (6) | Totem-pole driver output | Delivers ±1A into MOSFET gate; clamped to 18V max; actively pulled low (~1V) during UVLO to prevent unintended FET turn-on. |
| VCC (7) | Supply input | Operates from 7.6V to 25V; powers internal circuitry; bypassed with ≥0.1µF ceramic capacitor placed adjacent to pin. |
| VREF (8) | 5V bandgap reference output | Supplies charging current to RT; powers internal logic; can source up to 20mA but increases die temperature if heavily loaded. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Leading-edge blanking | 100ns fixed blanking window synchronized to OUTPUT turn-on, eliminating need for RC filter at ISENSE and preserving fast fault response. |
| Trimmed oscillator sink current | 8.2mA ±0.3mA specification ensures <±5% oscillator frequency variation across units and temperature without external calibration. |
| Active UVLO pull-down | Darlington PNP transistors pull OUTPUT and VREF to ~1V during undervoltage, removing need for external gate pull-down resistors and enabling soft-start capacitor reset. |
| High-current totem-pole output | ±1A drive capability with 40ns rise / 30ns fall times into 1nF load enables direct driving of high-Qg MOSFETs at 500kHz without gate drivers. |
| 18V output clamp | Internal clamp prevents OUTPUT from exceeding 18V, protecting MOSFET gate oxide in high-side configurations with bootstrap or isolated gate drive. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar PWM controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UC1845N | Same pinout and basic function; higher start-up current (500µA vs 250µA), no leading-edge blanking, no trimmed oscillator sink current. | Legacy design replacement only; lacks 50ns current sense delay and blanking, limiting usable frequency to ≤200kHz in noisy environments. | Select UC1845N only for cost-sensitive, low-frequency (<150kHz), non-extended-temp replacements where layout cannot accommodate LT1245IS8#TRPBF's tighter tolerances. |
| LT3748IS8#TRPBF | Primary-side flyback controller with integrated 60V MOSFET driver; includes built-in soft-start, fault latching, and 1MHz max frequency; not pin-compatible. | Targeted specifically for isolated flyback topologies with secondary-side regulation; requires different feedback architecture (no optocoupler needed). | Choose LT3748IS8#TRPBF when designing new flyback supplies requiring enhanced protection, lower component count, and higher integration - not for drop-in UC1845 upgrades. |
Compared with UC1845N, LT1245IS8#TRPBF offers 50% lower start-up current and built-in blanking for noise immunity, while LT3748IS8#TRPBF trades pin compatibility for integrated protection and flyback-specific features - making LT1245IS8#TRPBF the optimal choice for high-frequency, extended-temperature, UC1845-replacement designs requiring proven reliability.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating junction temperature for LT1245IS8#TRPBF?
The LT1245IS8#TRPBF has a specified operating junction temperature range of –40°C to 125°C. This is enabled by its S8 plastic SOIC package with 150°C/W thermal resistance. Derating curves in the datasheet confirm continuous operation up to TJ = 125°C under appropriate PCB copper area and airflow conditions. The device enters thermal shutdown only if internal die temperature exceeds absolute maximum limits, which are not specified for LT1245IS8#TRPBF but align with standard Linear Technology process safety margins.
Does LT1245IS8#TRPBF support synchronization to an external clock?
No, LT1245IS8#TRPBF does not support external clock synchronization. Its oscillator is internally generated and set solely by the RT/CT network on Pin 4. Unlike some later-generation controllers (e.g., LT3748 or LT8316), the LT1245IS8#TRPBF lacks an external sync input pin or programmable clock divider. Synchronization requires replacing the RT/CT network with a precision current source or using a separate master oscillator - neither method is supported natively by LT1245IS8#TRPBF.
How does the current sense blanking time vary with feedback voltage in LT1245IS8#TRPBF?
In LT1245IS8#TRPBF, blanking time is inversely proportional to FB pin voltage: it is 100ns at VFB = 2.5V (normal regulation), decreases linearly as VFB drops, and reaches zero when VFB = 0V. This behavior ensures minimal blanking during startup or output short-circuit faults - preserving fast current-limit response - while providing full noise immunity during steady-state operation. The relationship is monotonic and specified in the Applications Information section of the datasheet.
Can LT1245IS8#TRPBF drive a MOSFET directly without a gate driver IC?
Yes, LT1245IS8#TRPBF can drive power MOSFETs directly due to its ±1A totem-pole output stage and 40ns rise time into 1nF. It is routinely used to drive Qg ≤ 25nC MOSFETs (e.g., MPT2N60, STP16NF20) in 300–500kHz flyback and forward converters. For MOSFETs with Qg > 30nC or layouts with >5cm gate trace length, a dedicated gate driver is recommended to maintain switching speed and reduce gate ringing.
What is the purpose of the active pull-down on VREF during undervoltage lockout in LT1245IS8#TRPBF?
The active pull-down on VREF (Pin 8) during UVLO in LT1245IS8#TRPBF serves two purposes: (1) it discharges external soft-start capacitors connected between VREF and GND, enabling controlled ramp-up of duty cycle at startup; and (2) it disables external circuitry powered from VREF (e.g., RT biasing, auxiliary references), preventing erratic behavior during brownout. This eliminates the need for external transistor-based reset circuits required by older UC184x controllers.
