Product details
Overview
LT1725IS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a current-mode isolated flyback controller IC designed to drive an external N-channel MOSFET in telecom and industrial offline power supplies. It features primary-side sensing (no optoisolator), 3V auxiliary output, programmable soft-start, undervoltage lockout, and load compensation-enabling stable 5V/2A isolated output from 36V–72V input.
For engineers reviewing the LT1725IS#TRPBF datasheet, LT1725IS#TRPBF pinout, LT1725IS#TRPBF application, or LT1725IS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 16-pin SO package, VCC turn-on threshold of 15.1V (typ), 250mV current-sense limit, ±2mA FB pin current, and support for 50kHz–250kHz switching via OSCAP capacitor.
Technical Context
The LT1725IS#TRPBF implements a flyback-specific error amplifier that samples the reflected flyback pulse from a third transformer winding-not a continuous DC voltage-enabling regulation without optocouplers. Its control loop integrates VC node current from a transconductance amplifier (400–1800 µmho) and uses collapse-detect timing to gate feedback during valid flyback intervals.
It supports discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) operation with maintained regulation, employs minimum on-time (200 ns typ) and enable-delay (200 ns typ) timing functions set by external resistors, and includes dedicated pins (ROCMP/RCMPC) for compensating secondary-side impedance effects-including diode VF, winding resistance, and capacitor ESR-via average-current-derived correction.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Turn-On Voltage | 15.1 V (typ); ensures reliable startup above brownout threshold in high-voltage telecom inputs |
| ISENSE Threshold | 250 mV (typ); sets peak switch current limit using external sense resistor, enabling precise overcurrent protection |
| FB Reference Voltage | 1.245 V (typ); internal bandgap reference used with R1/R2 divider to determine output voltage via third-winding feedback |
| 3VOUT Load Capability | 15 mA (max); provides regulated auxiliary supply for biasing primary-side circuitry without secondary-side LDO |
| Switching Frequency Range | 50–250 kHz; set by OSCAP capacitor (33–200 pF), balancing efficiency, size, and EMI in isolated designs |
| UVLO Threshold | 1.25 V (typ); enables input-voltage-dependent shutdown via external resistor divider on UVLO pin |
| GATE Drive High Level | 12.1 V (typ at 100 mA); sufficient to fully enhance logic-level or standard N-MOSFETs like IRF620 in high-side flyback switches |
Pinout & Package
LT1725IS#TRPBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic SO (Small Outline) package with exposed pad thermal enhancement, rated for –40°C to 125°C operating junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| PGND (1) | Power ground return for GATE discharge current | Carries high-di/dt spikes (~hundreds of mA, tens of ns); must connect directly to low-inductance ground plane |
| ISENSE (2) | Current sense input | Monitors external sense resistor voltage; triggers switch turn-off when ≥250 mV (typ), defining peak primary current |
| SFST (3) | Soft-start capacitor connection | Charges with 40 µA (typ); controls ramp-up of VC voltage to limit inrush current during startup |
| ROCMP (4) | Load compensation resistor input | Accepts current proportional to average switch current; adjusts FB reference to compensate for output impedance droop |
| RCMPC (5) | Load compensation filter capacitor | Filters ROCMP signal; 0.1 µF ceramic typical; stabilizes compensation loop against noise |
| OSCAP (6) | Oscillator timing capacitor | Sets switching frequency (e.g., 100 pF → 100 kHz); determines core reset time and transformer design constraints |
| VC (7) | Control voltage output/integrator node | Integrates error amplifier output; sets current-comparator trip point; requires external RC compensation to ground |
| FB (8) | Feedback input | Receives scaled flyback pulse from third winding; referenced to 1.245 V bandgap; Thevenin resistance ~3 kΩ recommended |
| 3VOUT (9) | Regulated auxiliary output | Provides 3.0 V ±0.2 V at ≤15 mA; powers op-amps, comparators, or logic on primary side without secondary winding |
| UVLO (10) | Undervoltage lockout input | Enables/disables switching based on VIN-derived voltage divider; bias current changes at threshold to create hysteresis |
| SGND (11) | Signal ground reference | Low-noise ground for FB, OSCAP, and VC compensation components; must be isolated from PGND currents |
| MINENAB (12) | Minimum enable time programming | Resistor sets minimum duration (≥200 ns) that flyback error amplifier remains active per cycle |
| ENDLY (13) | Enable delay programming | Resistor sets fixed delay (≥200 ns) between MOSFET turn-off and flyback amplifier activation to reject leakage spikes |
| tON (14) | Minimum on-time programming | Resistor sets absolute minimum MOSFET conduction time per cycle to ensure flyback pulse generation |
| VCC (15) | Main supply input | Operates from 14–22 V; requires ≥1 µF ceramic bypass to PGND; powered from third winding or auxiliary supply |
| GATE (16) | MOSFET gate driver output | 12.1 V high-level drive (100 mA sink/source); rise/fall times <30 ns into 1 nF; series gate resistor ≥5 Ω recommended |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LT1725IS#TRPBF?
The LT1725IS#TRPBF is specified for an industrial operating junction temperature range of –40°C to 125°C. This rating is confirmed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings table and Electrical Characteristics section of the official datasheet, where parameters marked with ● apply across this full range. The "I" grade suffix in LT1725IS#TRPBF explicitly denotes this extended temperature capability, distinguishing it from the commercial-grade LT1725CS#TRPBF (0°C to 100°C).
Does the LT1725IS#TRPBF require an optoisolator for feedback?
No, the LT1725IS#TRPBF does not require an optoisolator. It achieves isolated output regulation by sampling the reflected flyback pulse from a dedicated third transformer winding and processing it through its internal flyback error amplifier and collapse-detect circuitry. This primary-side sensing architecture eliminates the need for optocouplers or secondary-side references like TL431, as explicitly stated in the Features and Typical Application sections of the LT1725 datasheet.
How is the switching frequency set on the LT1725IS#TRPBF?
The switching frequency of the LT1725IS#TRPBF is set by an external capacitor connected to the OSCAP pin (Pin 6). The datasheet specifies a range of 50 kHz to 250 kHz, corresponding to OSCAP values from 200 pF down to 33 pF. For example, a 100 pF capacitor yields a typical frequency of 100 kHz. This capacitor directly programs the oscillator timing and must be placed close to OSCAP and SGND with low-ESR characteristics.
What is the purpose of the ROCMP and RCMPC pins on the LT1725IS#TRPBF?
The ROCMP (Pin 4) and RCMPC (Pin 5) pins implement optional load compensation on the LT1725IS#TRPBF. ROCMP accepts a resistor that develops a voltage proportional to average switch current, while RCMPC connects to a filter capacitor (typically 0.1 µF) to smooth that signal. Together, they inject correction current into the FB node to counteract output voltage droop caused by secondary-side impedances-including diode forward voltage, winding resistance, and capacitor ESR-thereby improving load regulation without secondary feedback.
Can the LT1725IS#TRPBF drive a high-side N-channel MOSFET directly?
Yes, the LT1725IS#TRPBF can directly drive a high-side N-channel MOSFET via its GATE pin (Pin 16), which delivers a 12.1 V (typ) high-level output capable of sinking and sourcing up to 500 mA. The datasheet confirms compatibility with devices like the IRF620 and specifies gate drive rise/fall times under 30 ns with 1 nF load. A series gate resistor (≥5 Ω) is recommended to damp ringing, and the GATE trace must be kept short to minimize EMI and voltage spikes.
