Product details
Overview
LT3512MPMS#TRPBF 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 optocouplers or third-winding feedback-enabling compact telecom auxiliary supplies and industrial housekeeping rails.
For engineers reviewing the LT3512MPMS#TRPBF datasheet, LT3512MPMS#TRPBF pinout, LT3512MPMS#TRPBF application, or LT3512MPMS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –55°C to 150°C extended temperature grade, 16-lead MSOP package with four leads removed, primary-side feedback accuracy, and absence of external startup resistor requirement.
Technical Context
The LT3512MPMS#TRPBF implements boundary-mode current-mode control, sampling the reflected flyback voltage at the SW pin when secondary current reaches zero to derive output voltage without isolation components. Its internal error amplifier compares this sampled signal against a 1.17–1.23V RREF reference, while TC pin enables diode-forward-voltage temperature compensation via proportional current sourcing.
It integrates high-voltage circuitry rated to 150V on SW and 100V on VIN/EN/UVLO/RFB, with BIAS pin internally regulated to 3.0–3.2V and capable of self-biasing down to 4.5V input. The device features programmable UVLO hysteresis (1.15–1.27V threshold), 40–650kHz variable switching frequency, and internal current limit ranging 80–800mA.

Pinout & Package
LT3512MPMS#TRPBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic MSOP package with four leads removed (12-pin functional layout), optimized for high-voltage isolation and thermal performance (θJA = 90°C/W). The exposed pad is not electrically connected and must be thermally anchored to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN/UVLO (1) | Enable / Undervoltage Lockout Input | Starts or halts switching based on 1.21V threshold; resistor divider from VIN sets custom UVLO with hysteresis. |
| VIN (3) | Main Input Supply | Powers internal startup circuitry and serves as reference for DCM comparator; requires local ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| GND (5, 8, 9) | Ground Terminals | Three dedicated ground pins minimize ground loop impedance and improve noise immunity in high-dv/dt flyback operation. |
| BIAS (6) | Internal Bias Supply | Provides regulated 3.1V supply for switch driver and logic; can be tied to VIN if <20V, eliminating external bias winding. |
| VC (10) | Error Amplifier Compensation | Connects external RC network to set loop stability; 100pF to ground suppresses high-frequency noise coupling. |
| 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 Connection | Accepts 10kΩ ground-referenced resistor; sets feedback gain and enables output voltage programming with RFB. |
| RFB (14) | Primary-Side Feedback Input | Connects to transformer primary (SW node); voltage divider with RREF determines output voltage via turns-ratio scaling. |
| SW (16) | Switch Collector Output | Drives transformer primary; 150V rating allows safe operation with 100V reflected flyback + leakage margin. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated flyback controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3748IMSE#TRPBF | Higher 200V SW rating, no integrated switch, requires external MOSFET; supports higher power (>10W) but adds complexity. | Used where >5W output or >100V input is required; lacks integrated switch and primary-side feedback simplicity. | Select LT3748IMSE#TRPBF only when output power exceeds 4.5W or input voltage exceeds 100V-otherwise LT3512MPMS#TRPBF offers lower BOM count and faster design cycle. |
| UCC28911DR | Texas Instruments part with 700V integrated MOSFET, fixed 100kHz frequency, no TC or RREF pins; simpler but less precise temperature compensation. | Targets cost-sensitive consumer AC/DC adapters; lacks extended temperature grade and fine-grained feedback tuning capability. | Choose UCC28911DR for high-volume, non-military applications below 125°C ambient; LT3512MPMS#TRPBF remains preferred for precision, ruggedness, and design flexibility. |
Compared with LT3748IMSE#TRPBF and UCC28911DR, the LT3512MPMS#TRPBF uniquely combines integrated 150V switch, primary-side regulation, –55°C to +150°C qualification, and programmable temperature compensation-making it optimal for space-constrained, high-reliability isolated auxiliary supplies where BOM minimization and long-term stability are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum output power achievable with the LT3512MPMS#TRPBF?
The LT3512MPMS#TRPBF delivers up to 4.5W of isolated output power under optimal conditions-using a properly selected transformer (e.g., Würth 750311559), 48V input, and 5V/0.5A output. Actual power depends on input voltage, transformer turns ratio, and thermal management; at 36V input, typical output drops to ~2.5W due to reduced duty cycle headroom. The 150V SW pin rating and 420mA switch limit constrain maximum deliverable power.
Does the LT3512MPMS#TRPBF require an optocoupler for regulation?
No, the LT3512MPMS#TRPBF does not require an optocoupler. It achieves regulation by directly sensing the reflected flyback voltage at the SW pin during zero-current crossing of the secondary winding-a proprietary primary-side sensing technique that eliminates optocouplers, third windings, and associated aging, linearity, and bandwidth limitations inherent in traditional isolated feedback methods.
How is output voltage set on the LT3512MPMS#TRPBF?
Output voltage on the LT3512MPMS#TRPBF is set using two external resistors: RREF (typically 10kΩ to ground) and RFB (connected between SW and RREF node). The output voltage equals (RFB/RREF) × 1.20V × (1/NPS) – VF, where NPS is the transformer primary-to-secondary turns ratio and VF is the secondary rectifier forward voltage. Temperature compensation via the TC pin further corrects for VF drift.
What is the purpose of the TC pin on the LT3512MPMS#TRPBF?
The TC (Temperature Compensation) pin on the LT3512MPMS#TRPBF sources a proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) current into the RREF node to offset the negative temperature coefficient of the output rectifier's forward voltage drop. By connecting a resistor from TC to ground, designers inject compensating current that improves output voltage stability over temperature-critical for medical and industrial applications requiring tight regulation across –55°C to +150°C.
Can the LT3512MPMS#TRPBF operate from a 4.5V input supply?
Yes, the LT3512MPMS#TRPBF operates from 4.5V to 100V input. At minimum input, BIAS and VIN are typically shorted to enable internal start-up circuitry; the device draws only 3.5mA quiescent current and maintains regulation using boundary-mode control. This capability makes it suitable for automotive cold-crank scenarios and low-voltage industrial backup systems where input may dip below 5V.
