Product details
Overview
LT3748MPMS#PBF from Analog Devices is a high-voltage isolated flyback controller IC designed for primary-side regulation in telecom, automotive, and industrial power supplies. It operates across 5V–100V input, delivers up to ~25W output (e.g., 12V/2A), uses boundary mode control, and eliminates opto-isolators or third windings by sensing output voltage directly from the primary-side flyback waveform.
For engineers reviewing the LT3748MPMS#PBF datasheet, LT3748MPMS#PBF pinout, LT3748MPMS#PBF application, or LT3748MPMS#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –55°C to 150°C operating junction temperature, 1.9A average gate drive capability, programmable soft-start and UVLO, and MSOP-16 (12-lead) package with enhanced thermal performance for high-reliability isolated DC/DC conversion.
Technical Context
The LT3748MPMS#PBF implements boundary-mode (critical conduction mode) current-mode control to achieve tight load regulation without secondary-side feedback components. Its internal error amplifier samples the flyback pulse at zero-secondary-current crossing, enabling accurate output voltage derivation from RFB/RREF resistor ratio and transformer turns ratio.
It features an internally regulated 7V INTVCC supply driving a low-side N-channel MOSFET gate, with programmable SENSE current limit threshold (90–110mV), 250ns minimum on-time, and 24µs maximum discontinuous off-time. Temperature compensation via TC/RREF supports stable regulation over –55°C to 150°C.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 5V to 100V - supports wide-input isolated supplies including telecom (36–72V) and automotive transients. |
| Operating Junction Temp | –55°C to 150°C - qualified for military, aerospace, and high-temperature automotive applications. |
| INTVCC Regulation | 7.0V ±0.2V - powers gate driver with <0.7V dropout at 10mA, enabling robust MOSFET switching under load. |
| GATE Drive Capability | 1.9A avg source/sink - drives high-Qg external MOSFETs for multi-watt power delivery with fast rise/fall times (16ns). |
| SENSE Threshold Range | 90–110mV (VC = 2.2V) - sets precise current limit for transformer magnetizing current control in boundary mode. |
| Soft-Start Current | 5µA - enables predictable startup timing via external capacitor; threshold at 0.65V. |
| EN/UVLO Threshold | 1.223V rising - provides programmable undervoltage lockout with 2.4µA hysteresis current for stable enable/disable behavior. |
Pinout & Package
LT3748MPMS#PBF is housed in a 16-lead plastic MSOP package with four leads removed (12-lead functional layout), optimized for high-voltage isolation and thermal dissipation (θJA = 90°C/W). The exposed pad is not electrically connected and must be thermally anchored to PCB ground plane per Analog Devices layout guidelines.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VIN (1) | Main input supply reference | Bypassed locally; supplies start-up circuitry and serves as reference for RFB feedback network. |
| EN/UVLO (3) | Enable & input undervoltage detection | Resistor divider from VIN sets turn-on threshold; sinks 2.4µA for hysteresis during UVLO release. |
| INTVCC (5) | Internally regulated gate driver supply | 7V output; can be tied to VIN if ≤20V and no third winding used; requires local bypass capacitor. |
| GATE (6) | N-channel MOSFET gate driver output | Switches between INTVCC and GND; 1.9A avg drive supports high-power external switches. |
| SENSE (7) | Primary-side current sense input | Kelvin-connected to MOSFET source resistor; monitors peak current for boundary-mode timing and OCP. |
| GND (8,9) | Power and signal ground reference | Dual pins reduce ground impedance; connect to low-inductance PCB ground plane near SENSE and GATE paths. |
| SS (10) | Soft-start timing node | Sources 5µA to external capacitor; switching begins when voltage reaches ~0.65V. |
| VC (11) | Error amplifier compensation node | Connect series RC to ground for loop stability; 100pF parallel cap suppresses noise. |
| TC (12) | Temperature compensation current source | Sources 0.55V/RTC current into RREF to cancel diode VF drift over temperature. |
| RREF (14) | Reference resistor connection | Typically 6.04kΩ; sets gain for flyback-sampled output voltage; bias current <500nA ensures accuracy. |
| RFB (16) | Feedback resistor connection | Connected to MOSFET drain; converts flyback pulse amplitude to current proportional to VOUT. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Primary-side regulation | Eliminates opto-isolator and third winding - reduces BOM cost, improves reliability, and avoids aging/nonlinearity issues. |
| Boundary mode operation | Enables zero-current switching each cycle - improves load regulation, allows smaller magnetics, and avoids subharmonic oscillation. |
| Wide temperature grade | –55°C to 150°C junction range - supports MIL-STD, extended automotive, and harsh-environment industrial deployments. |
| Programmable UVLO & soft-start | Configurable via external resistors/capacitors - enables custom inrush control and brown-out recovery behavior. |
| Integrated temperature compensation | TC pin sources PTAT current into RREF - actively corrects for output diode forward-voltage drift across full temp range. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LT3748MPMS#PBF?
The LT3748MPMS#PBF is specified for a junction temperature range of –55°C to 150°C, making it suitable for military, aerospace, and extended-temperature automotive applications. This MP-grade qualification exceeds standard industrial and automotive grades, and is verified per MIL-STD-883 test methods for high-reliability deployment.
Does the LT3748MPMS#PBF require an opto-isolator or third winding for regulation?
No - the LT3748MPMS#PBF achieves precise isolated output regulation using primary-side flyback waveform sampling, eliminating the need for opto-isolators or auxiliary transformer windings. This reduces component count, improves long-term reliability, and avoids performance degradation due to opto aging or winding coupling variations.
How does the LT3748MPMS#PBF implement temperature compensation?
The LT3748MPMS#PBF uses its TC pin to source a proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) current into the RREF node. When paired with an external RTC resistor to ground, this current offsets the negative temperature coefficient of the output diode's forward voltage, maintaining stable output regulation across –55°C to 150°C.
What is the purpose of the RFB and RREF pins on the LT3748MPMS#PBF?
RFB connects to the MOSFET drain to convert the flyback pulse amplitude into a current; RREF provides a ground-referenced node for that current to develop a voltage. Their resistor ratio - combined with the internal 1.223V bandgap - determines the regulated output voltage, enabling accurate programming without secondary-side components.
Can the LT3748MPMS#PBF drive high-gate-charge MOSFETs effectively?
Yes - the LT3748MPMS#PBF delivers 1.9A average gate drive source/sink current with 16ns rise/fall times (CL = 3300pF), enabling robust switching of high-Qg external N-channel MOSFETs. This supports efficient power delivery up to ~25W while maintaining boundary-mode timing integrity under dynamic load conditions.
