Product details
Overview
LT1424IN8-9#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic isolated flyback switching regulator IC designed for PCMCIA Type II-compliant –9V isolated LAN supplies. It integrates a 1.6A peak-current switch, primary-side output voltage sensing, load compensation, and 285kHz fixed-frequency current-mode control - delivering up to 200mA at –9V without optoisolators or third-winding feedback. Its 8-pin PDIP package meets 2.41mm height constraints for compact portable designs.
For engineers reviewing the LT1424IN8-9#PBF datasheet, LT1424IN8-9#PBF pinout, LT1424IN8-9#PBF application, or LT1424IN8-9#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its primary-side regulation architecture, –9V fixed output, shutdown current of 40µA max, load compensation capability via RCCOMP pin, and compatibility with PCMCIA Type II mechanical envelope requirements.
Technical Context
The LT1424IN8-9#PBF implements a proprietary flyback error amplifier that samples the primary-side flyback pulse waveform to infer isolated secondary output voltage - eliminating need for optoisolators or auxiliary windings. Its collapse-detect timing logic enables stable regulation down to discontinuous conduction mode.
It features integrated load compensation via external RCCOMP capacitor and internal current-sense amplifier, dynamically adjusting target output voltage to counteract secondary-side ESR-induced droop. The VC pin serves as both feedback amplifier output and current comparator input, enabling direct current-mode control with 1.9V clamp limiting peak switch current.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed –9V nominal; derived from primary-side flyback pulse sampling - no secondary feedback components required. |
| Switching Frequency | 285kHz typical; fixed oscillator frequency ensures predictable EMI profile and simplifies filter design. |
| Peak Switch Current | 1.6A typical; supports ≥200mA output at –9V with standard transformer and diode selection. |
| Input Voltage Range | 2.8V to 20V; includes undervoltage lockout below 2.8V to prevent erratic startup or brownout operation. |
| Shutdown Current | 40µA maximum; enables ultra-low-power standby in battery-powered PCMCIA applications. |
| Reference Voltage | 9.15V typical at VSW pin; accounts for diode drop and leakage effects - maps to –9V output in intended circuit. |
| Thermal Resistance | θJA = 130°C/W (PDIP); requires minimal heatsinking for 200mA operation at full ambient range. |
Pinout & Package
LT1424IN8-9#PBF is housed in an 8-lead narrow-body PDIP (N8) package with 0.300-inch width and 2.41mm max height - compliant with PCMCIA Type II mechanical specifications.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SHDN (Pin 1) | Shutdown control input | Logic-low active; pulls supply current to ≤40µA when driven below 0.9V - enables system-level power gating. |
| VC (Pin 2) | Feedback amplifier output / current comparator input | Integrates loop compensation via external capacitor to ground; clamped at 1.9V to limit peak switch current. |
| SYNC (Pin 3) | External oscillator synchronization input | Accepts 10–90% duty-cycle logic signal up to 450kHz; allows EMI spreading or multi-regulator phase alignment. |
| SGND (Pin 4) | Signal ground reference | Low-noise ground for internal bandgap and feedback amplifier - must be isolated from high-current PGND paths. |
| RCCOMP (Pin 8) | Load compensation network connection | Receives current proportional to average switch current; cancels output impedance droop under varying load. |
| VIN (Pin 7) | Main supply input | Accepts 2.8–20V; requires ≥10µF local ceramic bypass to suppress switching noise and ensure stable UVLO behavior. |
| VSW (Pin 6) | Switch collector node | High dv/dt node connected to transformer primary; demands shortest possible PCB trace to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. |
| PGND (Pin 5) | Power ground return | Emitter of integrated NPN switch; carries high pulsed currents - must connect directly to solid ground plane. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Primary-side output sensing | Eliminates optoisolator and third-winding - reduces BOM count, cost, and board area while improving long-term reliability. |
| Discontinuous mode regulation | Maintains ±3% output regulation down to ~2–3mA load via collapse-detect timing - critical for low-power LAN interface standby states. |
| Load compensation | Adjusts target output voltage in real time using RCCOMP pin current - corrects for diode drop and secondary ESR across full load range. |
| PCMCIA Type II height compliance | 2.41mm max component height achieved with N8 PDIP package - enables integration into space-constrained laptop peripheral slots. |
| Integrated 1.6A switch | Monolithic NPN transistor eliminates need for external high-current switch - simplifies layout and improves thermal coupling. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated flyback regulator applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT1424CS8-9 | Same silicon die, SO-8 package (θJA = 110°C/W); 1.5mm height - exceeds PCMCIA Type II limit. | Preferred for non-height-constrained industrial boards where thermal performance is prioritized over mechanical fit. | Select when PCB space allows SO-8 and thermal margin is tighter than 130°C/W. |
| LT1425CSW#PBF | 16-pin general-purpose flyback controller; external RREF, RFB, RCOMP - programmable for ±5V, ±12V, or custom outputs. | Used for prototyping or multi-voltage designs where fixed –9V output is insufficient. | Choose when flexibility across output voltages or transformer ratios is required - not a drop-in replacement. |

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LT1424IN8-9#PBF in a power supply design?
The LT1424IN8-9#PBF functions as a monolithic isolated flyback switching regulator IC that generates a fixed –9V output without requiring optoisolators or auxiliary transformer windings. It achieves this by sampling the primary-side flyback pulse waveform to infer secondary output voltage - making the LT1424IN8-9#PBF ideal for compact, reliable, and low-component-count isolated DC/DC conversion.
Does the LT1424IN8-9#PBF require external feedback components on the secondary side?
No, the LT1424IN8-9#PBF does not require any external feedback components on the secondary side. Its proprietary flyback error amplifier derives output voltage information directly from the primary-side VSW node during the flyback period - eliminating optoisolators, TL431 references, and secondary-side resistive dividers. This architecture is intrinsic to the LT1424IN8-9#PBF design and validated in its PCMCIA Type II reference circuit.
How does the LT1424IN8-9#PBF maintain regulation at very light loads?
The LT1424IN8-9#PBF maintains regulation down to ~2–3mA using collapse-detect timing logic that extends feedback amplifier enable time into discontinuous conduction mode. Unlike conventional controllers, its minimum flyback enable time (tEN) and enable delay (tED) are precisely calibrated to extract valid voltage data even when secondary current approaches zero - a core capability confirmed in the LT1424IN8-9#PBF's electrical characteristics table and typical performance curves.
What is the role of the RCCOMP pin on the LT1424IN8-9#PBF?
The RCCOMP pin on the LT1424IN8-9#PBF connects to an external capacitor that implements load compensation - subtracting a current proportional to average switch current from the feedback node to counteract output voltage droop caused by secondary-side ESR. This function is documented in the LT1424IN8-9#PBF datasheet's "Load Compensation Theory" section and directly improves load regulation from no-load to full 200mA.
Can the LT1424IN8-9#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LT1424IN8-9#PBF supports external synchronization via its SYNC pin (Pin 3), which accepts logic-level signals from 330kHz to 450kHz with 10–90% duty cycle. When synchronized, the internal 285kHz oscillator locks to the external source - enabling EMI reduction through frequency dithering or phase alignment in multi-rail systems. This capability is specified in the LT1424IN8-9#PBF's Electrical Characteristics table under "Synchronization Range."
