Product details
Overview
LT3512MPMS#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic high-voltage isolated flyback controller IC with integrated 420mA/150V power switch, designed for primary-side regulated isolated DC/DC conversion. It operates from 4.5V to 100V input, delivers up to 4.5W output power, uses boundary-mode control, and eliminates need for opto-isolators or third-winding feedback-enabling compact telecom auxiliary supplies and industrial housekeeping rails.
For engineers reviewing the LT3512MPMS#PBF datasheet, LT3512MPMS#PBF pinout, LT3512MPMS#PBF application, or LT3512MPMS#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its –55°C to 150°C extended temperature rating, primary-side sensing architecture, 40–650kHz variable switching frequency, internal RREF reference (1.17–1.23V), and MSOP-16(12) package with four leads removed.
Technical Context
The LT3512MPMS#PBF implements current-mode boundary conduction mode (BCM) control, where the internal switch turns on precisely when secondary winding current reaches zero-enabling tight regulation without secondary-side feedback components. Its flyback error amplifier samples the reflected output voltage directly from the SW pin during the zero-current interval, referenced to an internal 1.20V bandgap.
Temperature compensation is achieved via TC pin current sourcing into RREF, counteracting diode forward-voltage drift; the device integrates bias regulation (3.0–3.2V at BIAS pin), EN/UVLO with 1.21V threshold and hysteresis, and VC-based loop compensation-all in a single high-voltage MSOP package rated for 150V SW pin transients.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 4.5V to 100V - supports wide-input industrial, telecom, and automotive auxiliary rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Switch Rating | 420mA continuous, 150V max - enables direct high-side switching in flyback topologies up to ~4.5W output with off-the-shelf transformers. |
| Operating Frequency | 40kHz to 650kHz (variable) - BCM operation adapts frequency to load, improving light-load efficiency and eliminating subharmonic oscillation. |
| RREF Voltage | 1.17V to 1.23V (typ 1.20V) - stable internal reference used with RFB/RREF resistor divider to set output voltage independent of transformer turns ratio. |
| Junction Temp Range | –55°C to +150°C - qualified for extended-temperature military, aerospace, and harsh-environment industrial applications. |
| Quiescent Current | 3.5mA (typ) - low startup and no-load consumption enables efficient standby operation in always-on systems. |
| EN/UVLO Threshold | 1.21V ±60mV - precise enable threshold allows accurate input undervoltage lockout using simple resistor divider. |
Pinout & Package
LT3512MPMS#PBF is housed in a 16-lead MSOP package with four leads removed (12-pin functional layout), thermally enhanced for high-voltage isolation and power dissipation. Package outline: 4.0mm × 4.0mm × 1.1mm, θJA = 90°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN/UVLO (1) | Enable / Undervoltage Lockout Input | Starts or shuts down regulator; 1.21V threshold with hysteresis enables programmable UVLO; open-circuit disables operation. |
| VIN (3) | Main Input Supply | Powers internal start-up circuitry and serves as reference for DCM comparator; requires local bypass capacitor. |
| GND (5,8,9) | Ground Terminals | Three dedicated ground pins minimize impedance and improve noise immunity; all must connect directly to local ground plane. |
| BIAS (6) | Internal Bias Supply | Provides regulated 3.0–3.2V supply for gate driver and core logic; can be tied to VIN if <20V, or driven by third winding. |
| VC (10) | Error Amplifier Compensation | Output of internal transconductance amplifier; RC network to ground sets loop stability and transient response. |
| TC (11) | Temperature Compensation Input | Sources proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) current into RREF to cancel diode VF drift over temperature. |
| RREF (12) | Reference Resistor Terminal | Accepts external ground-referred resistor (typically 10kΩ); sets feedback gain and interacts with TC current for temp-compensated regulation. |
| RFB (14) | Feedback Input | Connects to transformer primary (SW node); voltage divider with RREF determines output voltage via reflected flyback pulse amplitude. |
| SW (16) | Switch Collector Output | Drives external transformer primary; integrates 150V-rated bipolar transistor; requires minimized trace area to reduce EMI and voltage spikes. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Primary-side regulation | Eliminates opto-isolator and third winding-reducing BOM count, cost, and board space while improving long-term reliability and dynamic response. |
| Boundary conduction mode | Enables zero-current switching each cycle, minimizing conduction losses, avoiding subharmonics, and allowing smaller magnetics than CCM designs. |
| Integrated 150V/420mA switch | Reduces external component count and simplifies layout; eliminates need for discrete HV MOSFET and gate driver in low-to-mid power isolated supplies. |
| –55°C to +150°C operation | Qualified for extreme environments including avionics, downhole tools, and military vehicle electronics where standard commercial or industrial grades fail. |
| No external start-up resistor | Internal start-up circuit draws current directly from VIN, enabling immediate operation across full input range without auxiliary bias networks. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated flyback controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3748EMS#PBF | Higher 600mA/200V switch, supports up to 10W; requires external MOSFET drive; no integrated switch. | Better suited for higher-power isolated supplies (>5W); lacks integrated switch so requires additional gate driver and FET. | Select LT3748EMS#PBF when >5W output or >100V input is needed; LT3512MPMS#PBF remains optimal for ≤4.5W with minimal BOM. |
| UCC28911DR | 700V integrated MOSFET, fixed-frequency DCM, lower quiescent current (1.5mA), no TC pin or primary-side sensing refinement. | Targeted at universal AC input (85–265VAC); less precise primary-side regulation; not rated for –55°C operation. | Choose UCC28911DR for cost-sensitive AC/DC adapters; LT3512MPMS#PBF is preferred for DC-input, high-accuracy, extended-temp isolated DC/DC. |
Compared with LT3748EMS#PBF and UCC28911DR, LT3512MPMS#PBF uniquely combines integrated 150V switch, primary-side sensing with temperature compensation, and –55°C to +150°C qualification-making it the only option for compact, high-reliability, extended-temperature isolated DC/DC in space-constrained industrial and defense systems.

FAQ
What is the maximum output power achievable with LT3512MPMS#PBF?
The LT3512MPMS#PBF delivers up to 4.5W of isolated output power under typical conditions. This assumes proper transformer selection (e.g., Würth 750311559 for 48V→5V), 100V SW pin voltage limit, and 50V margin for leakage spikes. Real-world output depends on input voltage, turns ratio, and efficiency-e.g., 2.5W at 36V input and 3.0W at 72V input using a 4:1 transformer.
Does LT3512MPMS#PBF require an opto-isolator or third winding for regulation?
No, the LT3512MPMS#PBF does not require an opto-isolator or third winding. It achieves regulation by sensing the reflected flyback voltage directly at the SW pin during the zero-current interval of the secondary winding-enabling fully primary-side controlled isolated power conversion.
What is the purpose of the TC pin on LT3512MPMS#PBF?
The TC pin on LT3512MPMS#PBF sources a proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) current into the RREF node to compensate for the negative temperature coefficient of the output rectifier diode's forward voltage drop-ensuring stable output voltage across the full –55°C to +150°C operating range.
Can LT3512MPMS#PBF operate from a 12V input?
Yes, LT3512MPMS#PBF operates from 4.5V to 100V input, including 12V. At low input voltages, connecting BIAS to VIN enables operation down to 4.5V. For 12V input, use a transformer with appropriate turns ratio (e.g., 1:1 or 2:1) and ensure SW pin voltage remains below 150V during flyback transitions.
What package type and lead finish does LT3512MPMS#PBF use?
LT3512MPMS#PBF uses a 16-lead MSOP package with four leads removed (12-pin functional layout), RoHS-compliant matte tin lead finish, and is marked "3512" on top. The package is specified for –55°C to +150°C junction temperature and features enhanced thermal performance (θJA = 90°C/W).
