Product details
Overview
LT3575IFE#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic isolated flyback controller IC with integrated 2.5A/60V NPN power switch, designed for primary-side regulation without optocoupler or third winding. It operates from 3V to 40V input, delivers up to 14W output power, uses boundary-mode control for improved load regulation, and features programmable soft-start and current limit. It is used in industrial and medical isolated DC/DC converters requiring compact, reliable galvanic isolation.
For engineers reviewing the LT3575IFE#PBF datasheet, LT3575IFE#PBF pinout, LT3575IFE#PBF application, or LT3575IFE#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, exact pin functions, boundary-mode operation details, transformer design constraints, and real-world alternative options - all grounded in the official LT3575 datasheet (Rev. F) and Linear Technology application notes.
Technical Context
The LT3575IFE#PBF implements primary-side sensing via flyback waveform sampling at the SW pin during zero-current detection on the secondary side, eliminating need for optocouplers or auxiliary windings. Its boundary-mode control dynamically adjusts switching frequency between 40 kHz and 1000 kHz based on load and VC pin voltage, enabling high efficiency and small magnetics.
It integrates a 2.5A/60V NPN switch, internal bandgap reference (1.23 V), temperature-compensated error amplifier, programmable current limit (via RILIM), and dedicated BIAS pin for internal driver supply. The TC pin enables diode forward-voltage drift compensation using a proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) current source.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3 V to 40 V - supports wide industrial input rails including 12 V, 24 V, and 36 V systems without external regulators. |
| Integrated Switch | 2.5 A, 60 V NPN transistor - eliminates external switch in ≤14 W isolated designs; SW pin withstands up to 60 V absolute max. |
| Switching Frequency | 40 kHz to 1000 kHz - variable boundary-mode operation reduces EMI and enables smaller transformers vs. fixed-frequency CCM. |
| RREF Reference Voltage | 1.23 V ±1.5% - precision internal bandgap used with RFB/RREF resistors to set output voltage independent of transformer turns ratio. |
| Current Limit Range | 400 mA to 4.2 A - adjustable via RILIM resistor (10 kΩ yields full 2.5 A typical); minimum limit ensures stable operation at light loads. |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for automotive under-hood, industrial control, and medical equipment environments. |
| Package Thermal Resistance | θJA = 38°C/W, θJC = 10°C/W - exposed pad (Pin 17) must be soldered to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity. |
Pinout & Package
LT3575IFE#PBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead plastic TSSOP package (FE grade) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 17) that must be connected to GND. The package measures 5 mm × 4.4 mm × 1 mm and supports reflow soldering per JEDEC J-STD-020.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| Pin 1, 15, 16 (NC) | No-connect | Internally unconnected; may be left floating or tied to GND for mechanical stability. |
| Pin 2 (VIN) | Main input supply | Supplies start-up circuitry and serves as DCM comparator reference; requires local ceramic bypass capacitor. |
| Pins 3, 4 (SW) | Collector of integrated NPN switch | High-di/dt node; must be routed with minimal loop area to reduce EMI and voltage spikes. |
| Pin 5 (BIAS) | Internal bias supply | Provides current to switch driver and core logic; can connect to VIN if ≤15 V and no third winding used. |
| Pin 6 (SHDN/UVLO) | Shutdown & undervoltage lockout | Resistor divider from VIN sets turn-on threshold (~1.22 V); 2.8 μA hysteresis current enables clean UVLO behavior. |
| Pin 7 (SS) | Soft-start timing | Capacitor here controls output ramp rate and limits inrush; switching begins when SS reaches ~0.7 V. |
| Pin 8 (RILIM) | Current limit programming | Resistor to GND sets peak switch current; 10 kΩ yields nominal 2.5 A limit per datasheet. |
| Pin 9 (VC) | Error amplifier compensation | Connect series RC to GND for loop stability; 100 pF parallel cap suppresses noise coupling. |
| Pin 10 (RFB) | Flyback feedback input | Connected to primary-side SW node; samples reflected flyback pulse to derive isolated output voltage. |
| Pin 11 (RREF) | Reference resistor input | Ground-referred resistor (typically 6.04 kΩ) sets gain for RFB-derived feedback signal; trimmed for 1.23 V reference. |
| Pin 12 (TC) | Temperature compensation | Resistor to GND sources PTAT current into RREF to cancel diode VF drift over temperature. |
| Pin 13 (TEST) | Factory test | Must be connected to GND for normal operation; unused in end applications. |
| Pins 14, 17 (GND) | Power and thermal ground | Exposed pad (Pin 17) is electrically and thermally GND; requires multiple vias to inner ground plane. |

FAQ
What is the maximum output power achievable with the LT3575IFE#PBF?
The LT3575IFE#PBF delivers up to 14 W of isolated output power with no external power switch, as confirmed in the datasheet Typical Application section and Figure 2 (5 V output). This assumes proper transformer selection (e.g., Würth 750311303, 3:1 turns ratio), adequate PCB thermal design, and operation within the 3 V–40 V input range. Output power scales with input voltage and transformer turns ratio but is limited by the 60 V SW pin rating and 2.5 A switch current.
Does the LT3575IFE#PBF require an optocoupler or third winding for regulation?
No - the LT3575IFE#PBF achieves precise isolated output regulation using primary-side flyback waveform sampling at the SW pin, eliminating the need for an optocoupler or auxiliary transformer winding. This is explicitly stated in the device description, features list, and block diagram. Regulation relies on detecting the reflected flyback voltage during secondary zero-current periods, enabling simpler, more reliable, and lower-cost isolated power designs.
How is output voltage set on the LT3575IFE#PBF?
Output voltage on the LT3575IFE#PBF is set using two external resistors: RFB connected between SW and RREF pins, and RREF connected between RREF pin and GND. The ratio RFB/RREF, combined with the internal 1.23 V bandgap reference and transformer turns ratio (NPS), determines VOUT per the equation VOUT = (1.23 V × RFB / RREF) / NPS − VF. Table 1–4 in the datasheet provide precomputed RFB/RREF/RTC values for common outputs and ratios.
What is the function of the TC pin on the LT3575IFE#PBF?
The TC (Temperature Compensation) pin on the LT3575IFE#PBF sources a proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) current into the RREF node to counteract the negative temperature coefficient of the output rectifier diode's forward voltage (VF). A resistor from TC to GND sets the PTAT current (ITC = 0.55 V / RTC), enabling stable output voltage regulation across –40°C to +125°C without external compensation circuitry.
Can the LT3575IFE#PBF operate with input voltages below 3 V?
No - the absolute minimum input voltage for the LT3575IFE#PBF is 3 V, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table under "Input Voltage Range". Operation below 3 V is not guaranteed and may result in failure to start, unstable regulation, or undefined behavior. The SHDN/UVLO pin can be configured to disable the part at higher thresholds (e.g., 12 V), but the device requires ≥3 V on VIN to power internal circuitry and bias the integrated switch.
