Product details
Overview
LT1424IS8-5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic isolated flyback switching regulator IC designed for primary-side sensing of 5V isolated outputs without optoisolators or third-winding feedback. It integrates a 1.6A peak-current switch, 285kHz oscillator, current-mode control, load compensation, and shutdown functionality. It delivers up to 400mA at 5V using standard 1:1 transformers in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT1424IS8-5#PBF datasheet, LT1424IS8-5#PBF pinout, LT1424IS8-5#PBF application, or LT1424IS8-5#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include primary-side regulation accuracy under light-load discontinuous conduction mode, integrated load compensation for <±1% load regulation, and SO-8 package thermal performance at 110°C/W junction-to-ambient.
Technical Context
The LT1424IS8-5#PBF implements a proprietary flyback error amplifier that samples the primary-side flyback pulse waveform to infer secondary output voltage-eliminating optoisolators and auxiliary windings. Its collapse-detect comparator and minimum-enable-time logic maintain regulation down to ~1–2mA output current.
It uses current-mode control with cycle-by-cycle peak current limiting (1.6A typical), internal 2.6V bias regulator, and externally compensated VC loop via RCCOMP capacitor. The SYNC pin supports external frequency synchronization from 330kHz to 450kHz, while SHDN reduces quiescent current to 20µA in standby.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Output Voltage | Fixed 5V nominal; regulated via primary-side flyback sampling-no secondary feedback components required. |
| Switching Frequency | 285kHz typical; enables compact magnetics and EMI filtering; adjustable ±15% via SYNC pin. |
| Peak Switch Current | 1.6A typical; sets maximum deliverable output power (~400mA at 5V with typical efficiency). |
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 20V; supports wide-input industrial rails; includes 2.8V undervoltage lockout. |
| Quiescent Current | 7mA typical; drops to 20µA in shutdown-critical for low-power standby operation. |
| Load Regulation | Improved by integrated load compensation circuitry; achieves <±1% variation from no-load to full 400mA. |
| Reference Voltage | 5.30V at VSW pin (TYP); accounts for diode drop and leakage-enables accurate 5V output calibration. |
Pinout & Package
LT1424IS8-5#PBF is housed in an 8-pin SOIC (SO-8) package with 110°C/W θJA, optimized for surface-mount industrial power supply designs requiring thermal reliability and board-space efficiency.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SHDN (Pin 1) | Shutdown control input | Logic-high (>0.9V) disables switching and reduces VIN current to ~20µA; floating = active. |
| VC (Pin 2) | Feedback amplifier output / current comparator input | Integrates loop compensation via external capacitor to ground; sets peak current threshold. |
| SYNC (Pin 3) | External oscillator synchronization input | Accepts 10–90% duty-cycle logic signal; locks internal 285kHz oscillator to 330–450kHz range. |
| SGND (Pin 4) | Signal ground reference | Low-noise ground for internal bandgap and feedback amplifier; must be isolated from PGND currents. |
| PGND (Pin 5) | Power ground / switch emitter | High-current return path for internal NPN switch; requires direct connection to ground plane. |
| VSW (Pin 6) | Switch collector node | Connects to transformer primary; carries high dv/dt switching current-requires short, low-inductance routing. |
| VIN (Pin 7) | Main supply input | 3–20V input; bypassed with ≥10µF capacitor; triggers UVLO below 2.8V. |
| RCCOMP (Pin 8) | Load compensation filter terminal | Connects external 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to enable dynamic adjustment of output voltage vs. load current. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Primary-side output sensing | Eliminates optoisolator and third-winding-reduces BOM count, cost, and footprint while improving long-term stability. |
| Discontinuous mode regulation | Maintains tight 5V regulation down to ~1–2mA output via collapse-detect timing and minimum-enable logic. |
| Integrated load compensation | Corrects for output impedance error (diode drop, ESR) using average switch current feedback-enables <±1% load regulation. |
| Current-mode control with cycle-by-cycle limiting | Provides inherent line/load transient response and overcurrent protection without external sense resistors. |
| Thermal shutdown protection | Internal overtemperature circuit disables switching if die temperature exceeds safe limit-prevents damage under overload or poor heatsinking. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated flyback controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28740DR | Secondary-side feedback via optocoupler; higher integration (X-cap discharge, soft-start); 65kHz fixed frequency. | Requires optoisolator and TL431; better suited for high-efficiency, low-noise consumer adapters-not optimal for industrial simplicity. | Select UCC28740DR only when secondary regulation precision >0.5% is required and optocoupler BOM overhead is acceptable. |
| LT3748EMSE#PBF | Primary-side sensing like LT1424IS8-5#PBF but supports adjustable output (via resistor divider); wider input (4.5–100V); no integrated load compensation. | Enables flexible output voltages (e.g., 3.3V, 12V) but lacks built-in load compensation-requires external circuitry for <±1% regulation. | Choose LT3748EMSE#PBF for multi-voltage designs where 5V is not fixed; retain LT1424IS8-5#PBF for lowest-component-count 5V-only systems. |
Compared with UCC28740DR and LT3748EMSE#PBF, the LT1424IS8-5#PBF uniquely combines fixed 5V output, zero-opto primary-side sensing, and integrated load compensation-making it the most component-efficient solution for cost-sensitive, high-reliability industrial 5V isolated supplies.

FAQ
What is the primary function of the LT1424IS8-5#PBF in a power supply design?
The LT1424IS8-5#PBF serves as a monolithic isolated flyback controller that regulates a fixed 5V output using primary-side sensing-eliminating the need for optoisolators or auxiliary transformer windings. It integrates the power switch, oscillator, current-mode control, and load compensation circuitry, enabling compact, reliable, and low-BOM-count isolated DC-DC conversion in industrial applications.
Does the LT1424IS8-5#PBF require an external MOSFET or transistor?
No, the LT1424IS8-5#PBF does not require an external MOSFET or transistor. It contains an integrated high-current NPN bipolar switch rated for 1.6A peak current and 35V breakdown, capable of delivering up to 400mA at 5V directly from the IC-no external power devices are needed for its intended 5V/400mA application.
How does the LT1424IS8-5#PBF achieve regulation without an optoisolator?
The LT1424IS8-5#PBF achieves regulation by sampling the amplitude of the primary-side flyback voltage pulse across the transformer's main winding. Its proprietary flyback error amplifier converts this pulse into a feedback signal proportional to the isolated secondary output voltage-enabling precise 5V regulation without optoisolators, third windings, or secondary-side components.
What is the purpose of the RCCOMP pin on the LT1424IS8-5#PBF?
On the LT1424IS8-5#PBF, the RCCOMP pin connects to an external 0.1µF ceramic capacitor to implement the integrated load compensation function. This circuit dynamically adjusts the target output voltage based on average switch current, counteracting voltage droop caused by diode forward drop and secondary-side ESR-achieving <±1% load regulation from no-load to full 400mA.
Can the LT1424IS8-5#PBF operate with input voltages below 5V?
Yes, the LT1424IS8-5#PBF operates with input voltages as low as 3V (minimum specified), making it suitable for battery-backed or low-voltage industrial rails. Its undervoltage lockout activates below 2.8V, and it maintains regulation across the full 3V–20V range-enabling use in 3.3V system rails or degraded 12V/24V inputs with proper transformer turns ratio selection.
