Product details
Overview
LT1725CS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a current-mode isolated flyback controller IC that drives an external N-channel MOSFET to regulate isolated DC/DC outputs without optocouplers. It features 1.245 V feedback reference, 100 kHz typical switching frequency (set via external OSCAP capacitor), 250 mV current-sense threshold, and integrated 3 V auxiliary output. It is used in telecom offline power supplies delivering 5 V at up to 2 A.
For engineers reviewing the LT1725CS#TRPBF datasheet, LT1725CS#TRPBF pinout, LT1725CS#TRPBF application, or LT1725CS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include primary-side sensing capability, UVLO programmability, soft-start control, load compensation support, and SO-16 package compatibility with board-level thermal management for industrial flyback designs.
Technical Context
The LT1725CS#TRPBF implements a flyback error amplifier that samples the reflected flyback pulse from a third transformer winding, enabling regulation without optoisolation. Its VC pin serves as both feedback amplifier output and current comparator input, with external RC compensation determining loop stability.
It uses timing-controlled enable windows-minimum enable time (tEN), enable delay (tED), and minimum on-time (tON)-to gate the flyback amplifier only during valid voltage collapse periods. This architecture maintains regulation across continuous and discontinuous conduction modes while rejecting leakage spikes via ±50 mV FB input range limitation.
Key Specifications

| Switching Frequency Range | 80–125 kHz (with 33–200 pF OSCAP) - determines transformer size, EMI profile, and efficiency trade-offs |
| Current Sense Threshold | 250 mV (±30 mV) - defines peak primary current limit; sets MOSFET stress and power delivery capability |
| VCC Turn-On/Off Hysteresis | 5.4 V typical (15.1 V ON / 9.7 V OFF) - prevents oscillation during brownout; supports wide-input offline operation |
| GATE Drive Capability | 500 mA sink / 11.8 V high-level - directly drives IRF620-class MOSFETs without external buffers |
| 3VOUT Load Capacity | 15 mA max - powers primary-side bias circuitry, opto drivers, or monitoring ICs without auxiliary winding |
| Operating Junction Temp | 0°C to 100°C (C-grade) - validated for commercial telecom and instrumentation environments |
Pinout & Package
LT1725CS#TRPBF is housed in a 16-pin plastic SO (Small Outline) package with exposed pad thermal enhancement (θJA = 110°C/W). Pin 1 is PGND; pins are arranged in dual-row configuration with signal and power grounds separated for noise immunity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGND (1) | Power ground return | Carries high di/dt GATE discharge current; must connect directly to low-inductance ground plane |
| ISENSE (2) | Primary current sense input | Monitors MOSFET source voltage via external shunt; triggers cycle-by-cycle current limiting at 250 mV |
| SFST (3) | Soft-start capacitor node | Charges with 40 µA internal current; controls ramp-up of VC voltage to prevent inrush |
| ROCMP (4) | Load compensation resistor terminal | Accepts external resistor to inject correction current into FB node, compensating for secondary impedance droop |
| RCMPC (5) | Load compensation filter capacitor | Filters average switch current signal; 0.1 µF ceramic typical for stable compensation response |
| OSCAP (6) | Oscillator timing capacitor | Sets switching frequency; 100 pF yields ~100 kHz; value directly scales fSW linearly |
| VC (7) | Control voltage node | Integrates net current from FB amplifier; sets current-comparator trip point for PWM duty control |
| FB (8) | Feedback input | Receives scaled flyback pulse from third winding; referenced to 1.245 V bandgap for output regulation |
| 3VOUT (9) | Internal 3 V regulator output | Provides bias for primary-side circuitry; current-limited to 15 mA; requires ≥0.1 µF bulk capacitance |
| UVLO (10) | Undervoltage lockout input | Enables shutdown when VIN-derived divider falls below 1.25 V; hysteresis set by divider impedance |
| SGND (11) | Signal ground reference | Reference for FB, OSCAP, and VC; must be isolated from PGND to avoid noise coupling into control loop |
| MINENAB (12) | Minimum enable time resistor | Sets duration FB amplifier remains active after enable; prevents lockup during low-load start-up |
| ENDLY (13) | Enable delay resistor | Delays FB amplifier activation post-MOSFET turn-off to reject transformer leakage spikes |
| tON (14) | Minimum on-time resistor | Ensures MOSFET conducts each cycle; maintains regulation at light loads and prevents subharmonic oscillation |
| VCC (15) | Main supply input | Operates from 14–22 V; bypassed with ≥1 µF ceramic to PGND; powers internal bias and gate driver |
| GATE (16) | MOSFET gate driver output | Push-pull driver capable of 500 mA sink; rise/fall times <30 ns into 1 nF load |
Key Features

FAQ
What is the recommended minimum OSCAP capacitor value for stable operation of the LT1725CS#TRPBF?
The LT1725CS#TRPBF specifies a minimum OSCAP capacitor value of 33 pF per the Electrical Characteristics table. Using less than 33 pF risks frequency instability and potential loss of regulation due to insufficient timing node capacitance. A 47 pF NP0/C0G ceramic capacitor is commonly used to achieve ~95 kHz operation while ensuring margin against process variation and temperature drift. Always verify oscillator waveform integrity on the OSCAP pin with a high-impedance probe during prototype validation.
Can the LT1725CS#TRPBF regulate multiple isolated outputs simultaneously?
Yes, the LT1725CS#TRPBF can regulate multiple isolated outputs using separate third-winding feedback paths tied to individual resistor dividers on the FB pin - though only one FB network is active at a time. For true independent regulation, external circuitry such as weighted summing or priority-based switching is required. The LT1725CS#TRPBF datasheet shows dual-output examples using coupled third windings and shared compensation, achieving ±3% cross-regulation in typical telecom designs.
How does the load compensation function in the LT1725CS#TRPBF improve output voltage accuracy?
The LT1725CS#TRPBF improves output voltage accuracy by injecting a correction current into the FB node via the ROCMP/RCMPC network, which scales with average primary current. This counteracts voltage droop caused by Schottky diode forward drop, transformer secondary resistance, and output capacitor ESR. With proper ROCMP selection (e.g., 47 kΩ for 5 V/2 A), the LT1725CS#TRPBF reduces load regulation error from ±5% to ±0.5% across 0–2 A, as verified in Figure 10 of the 1725fa datasheet.
What is the maximum allowable voltage on the VCC pin of the LT1725CS#TRPBF?
The absolute maximum VCC supply voltage for the LT1725CS#TRPBF is 22 V, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table. Operation above this level risks permanent damage to the internal bias regulator and gate driver. In practice, VCC should be clamped to ≤20 V using a Zener or TVS diode, especially in 72 V telecom applications where transient overshoot may exceed steady-state limits. The LT1725CS#TRPBF turns off at 16.0 V VCC (max) and restarts at 14.0 V, providing inherent overvoltage protection.
Does the LT1725CS#TRPBF require an external bootstrap capacitor for gate drive?
No, the LT1725CS#TRPBF does not require an external bootstrap capacitor because it uses a direct-drive push-pull gate driver referenced to PGND, not a high-side floating supply. The GATE pin sources and sinks current relative to PGND, making it compatible with standard N-channel MOSFETs like IRF620 without level-shifting circuitry. A small series gate resistor (e.g., 10 Ω) and local 100 nF ceramic decoupling between VCC and PGND are sufficient for stable switching.
