Product details
Overview
LT1247CS8#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an 8-pin SOIC current-mode PWM controller IC designed for off-line and DC/DC converter applications. It features 1 MHz switching capability, 30 ns current sense delay, <250 µA start-up current, 1 A totem-pole output, and active pull-down during undervoltage lockout. It operates in fixed-frequency current-mode control with leading-edge blanking and is optimized for driving power MOSFETs in flyback and forward converters.
For engineers reviewing the LT1247CS8#PBF datasheet, LT1247CS8#PBF pinout, LT1247CS8#PBF application, or LT1247CS8#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include UVLO thresholds (8.4 V start-up / 7.6 V operating), oscillator sink current (8.2 mA typ.), reference accuracy (±1% over temperature), current sense gain (3.00 V/V), and 100% maximum duty cycle - all critical for stable high-frequency SMPS design.
Technical Context
The LT1247CS8#PBF implements a fixed-frequency current-mode architecture with a trimmed oscillator (500 kHz typical at RT=6.2 kΩ, CT=500 pF) and tightly specified sink current (7.9–8.5 mA). Its error amplifier delivers 90 dB open-loop gain and 2 MHz unity-gain bandwidth, with internal 2.5 V feedback reference derived from the 5 V bandgap.
Current sensing uses a proportional comparator with 1 V clamp and 60 ns blanking time (at VFB = 2.5 V), eliminating external filtering. The totem-pole output provides ±1 A drive with 30 ns rise/20 ns fall times into 1 nF, and clamps high-level output at 18 V to protect MOSFET gates.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Operating Frequency | Up to 1 MHz; set by external RT/CT network with trimmed oscillator sink current for tight frequency stability. |
| UVLO Start Threshold | 8.4 V (typ); ensures reliable startup only after sufficient VCC rail stabilization in off-line designs. |
| Reference Voltage | 5.000 V ±1% (4.925–5.075 V); supplies timing resistor bias and internal reference levels with 50 µV RMS noise. |
| Current Sense Gain | 3.00 V/V (2.85–3.15 V/V); defines peak current threshold scaling from error amp output to ISENSE pin. |
| Output Drive Capability | ±1 A peak; enables direct gate drive of medium-power MOSFETs without external buffers in 1 MHz converters. |
| Start-Up Current | 250 µA max; minimizes power loss in high-impedance VCC startup networks for universal-input AC/DC supplies. |

| 2 - FB | Inverting input of error amplifier | Internally referenced to 2.5 V; accepts feedback voltage divider for output regulation. |
| 3 - ISENSE | Current sense comparator input | Receives sensed switch current; trip point proportional to COMP voltage with 1 V clamp and 60 ns blanking. |
| 4 - RT/CT | Oscillator timing node | Charged via RT from VREF; discharged by internal 8.2 mA sink; sets frequency and deadtime. |
| 5 - GND | Analog and power ground | Single-point return for feedback, oscillator, and output drive paths to minimize noise coupling. |
| 6 - OUTPUT | Totem-pole gate driver output | ±1 A capable; clamped to ≤18 V; actively pulled low (~1 V) during UVLO to hold MOSFET off. |
| 7 - VCC | Supply input | Operates from 7.6 V to 25 V; includes UVLO with 0.8 V hysteresis; powers internal circuitry. |

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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| UC1843N8 | Higher UVLO (8.5 V start / 7.6 V op), but no leading-edge blanking, no trimmed oscillator sink, ±0.5 A output. | Lacks integrated blanking and precision oscillator; requires external filter and tighter RT/CT tolerance for same frequency stability. | Choose UC1843N8 only if legacy compatibility or cost sensitivity outweighs need for 1 MHz operation and noise immunity. |
| UCC3803D | Lower start-up current (100 µA), 1 A output, but 500 kHz max frequency, no 18 V output clamp, different pinout. | Not pin-compatible; lacks output clamp and blanking; limited to lower-frequency designs where gate protection is handled externally. | Select UCC3803D when ultra-low start-up power is critical and 1 MHz operation is unnecessary; verify PCB layout changes required. |
Compared with UC1843N8 and UCC3803D, the LT1247CS8#PBF delivers superior high-frequency stability via trimmed oscillator sink current, eliminates external current-sense filtering through integrated blanking, and ensures MOSFET gate safety with its 18 V output clamp - making it optimal for compact, noise-sensitive 500 kHz–1 MHz SMPS designs.

FAQ
What is the UVLO behavior of the LT1247CS8#PBF?
The LT1247CS8#PBF features undervoltage lockout with a typical start-up threshold of 8.4 V and minimum operating voltage of 7.6 V, plus 0.8 V hysteresis. During UVLO, both the OUTPUT and VREF pins are actively pulled low to approximately 1 V by internal Darlington PNP transistors - eliminating the need for external pull-down resistors and ensuring safe MOSFET gate discharge. This behavior is fully specified in the Electrical Characteristics table and confirmed across temperature.
How does the LT1247CS8#PBF implement leading-edge blanking?
The LT1247CS8#PBF integrates a fixed-duration blanking circuit that disables the current sense comparator output for 60 ns after each OUTPUT turn-on edge (at nominal VFB = 2.5 V). Blanking time scales linearly with VFB voltage and drops to zero at 0 V, enabling faster fault response during short-circuit events. This eliminates the need for external RC filters on the ISENSE pin, preserving current-loop bandwidth and reducing component count - a key differentiator versus UC1843.
Can the LT1247CS8#PBF drive a MOSFET directly without a gate driver?
Yes, the LT1247CS8#PBF provides a ±1 A totem-pole output stage with 30 ns rise and 20 ns fall times into a 1 nF load, enabling direct gate drive of medium-power MOSFETs (e.g., ≤5 nC gate charge) in 500 kHz–1 MHz converters. Its 18 V output clamp protects against gate overvoltage, and active pull-down during UVLO ensures fail-safe gate discharge - verified in Typical Performance Characteristics TPC20–TPC22.
What is the purpose of the COMP pin on the LT1247CS8#PBF?
The COMP pin on the LT1247CS8#PBF is the error amplifier output, made accessible for external loop compensation (e.g., Type II or III networks). It sources ≥0.5 mA and sinks ≥2 mA, and is used to adjust the current sense clamp voltage: clamping COMP below 4.4 V reduces the maximum ISENSE threshold below 1 V, allowing precise control of peak switch current and sense resistor power dissipation - detailed in Applications Information section "Adjustable Clamp Level with Soft Start".
How does the oscillator frequency depend on RT and CT in the LT1247CS8#PBF?
Oscillator frequency in the LT1247CS8#PBF is set by RT (connected from VREF to RT/CT) and CT (from RT/CT to GND). Charging current is determined by RT; discharging current is trimmed to 8.2 mA. Frequency formulas are provided in the datasheet: tr = 0.583·R·C, td = R·C·(3.46 − 0.0164/R − 11.73/C), f = 1/(tr + td). At RT = 6.2 kΩ and CT = 500 pF, typical frequency is 500 kHz with ±5% accuracy - validated in TPC19 and Electrical Characteristics tables.
