Product details
Overview
LT3750EMS#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a boundary-mode flyback capacitor charger controller IC designed to rapidly charge large-value output capacitors to user-adjustable high voltages (e.g., 300V in <300ms). It features primary-side sensing, 78mV current limit threshold, 10-lead MSOP package, and operates from 3V–24V input. Used in photoflash, electric fence, and detonator power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT3750EMS#TRPBF datasheet, LT3750EMS#TRPBF pinout, LT3750EMS#TRPBF application, or LT3750EMS#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 78mV current sense accuracy, VCC–2V gate drive capability, 1.24V output voltage comparator trip point, DCM detection via RDCM pin, and operation across –40°C to 85°C.
Technical Context
The LT3750EMS#TRPBF implements a patented boundary-mode control scheme that minimizes switching transition losses and reduces transformer size. It uses primary-side sensing-eliminating the need for an output voltage divider-and relies on two external resistors (RVOUT and RBG) plus transformer turns ratio to set target output voltage.
Its architecture includes independent comparators for output voltage (1.24V trip), discontinuous conduction mode (36mV nominal threshold), and peak current limiting (78mV threshold), all referenced to SOURCE and RDCM pins. The CHARGE pin enables/disables charging with defined enable/disable voltage thresholds (1.1V/0.6V), and DONE provides open-collector status indication.
Key Specifications

|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 24V - supports wide-range DC sources including 12V automotive, 5V industrial rails, and battery-powered systems |
| Current Sense Threshold | 78mV ±10mV - sets precise peak switch current limit without external amplification; determines RSENSE value |
| VOUT Comparator Trip | 1.24V ±25mV - stable reference for output voltage regulation; used with RBG resistor to define target VOUT |
| DCM Comparator Threshold | 36mV nominal - detects zero-current crossing in transformer secondary to initiate next charge cycle |
| Gate Drive High Voltage | VCC – 2V - ensures strong NMOS turn-on while staying within typical gate oxide limits |
| Operating Temp Range | –40°C to +85°C - qualified for industrial and outdoor applications including security systems and electric fences |
| Package | 10-Lead MSOP - surface-mount, thermally enhanced plastic package with 0.5mm pitch and exposed pad option |
Pinout & Package
LT3750EMS#TRPBF is housed in a 10-lead plastic MSOP (MS) package with exposed thermal pad (LTC DWG #05-08-1661), measuring 3.0mm × 3.0mm × 1.1mm max height. Pin 1 is VTRANS; pin 5 is GND; pin 10 is RBG. Thermal resistance θJA = 120°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| VTRANS (1) | Transformer supply & boundary mode detection input | Powers internal circuitry and primary winding; requires local 1–10µF ceramic bypass; senses transformer current decay |
| DONE (2) | Open-collector charge-complete indicator | Sinks current when target VOUT reached or fault occurs; requires external pull-up to VCC or logic rail |
| CHARGE (3) | Charge cycle enable/disable control | Raised ≥1.1V to start charging; pulled ≤0.6V to halt and enter shutdown; min 1V/µs slew rate required |
| VCC (4) | Main supply input | 3–24V input powering internal logic and gate driver; bypassed with 1–10µF ceramic capacitor |
| GND (5) | Analog/digital ground reference | Common return for all internal circuits; must connect directly to low-impedance local ground plane |
| SOURCE (6) | NMOS source current sense node | Connects to NMOS source and current-sense resistor; 78mV threshold defines IPK = 78mV/RSENSE |
| GATE (7) | NMOS gate driver output | Drives external NMOS gate to VCC–2V; 50ns rise time; supports CGATE up to 1nF |
| RDCM (8) | Discontinuous mode sense input | Connected to NMOS drain via 43kΩ resistor; detects VDRAIN decay to trigger new cycle |
| RVOUT (9) | Output voltage VI converter input | Develops current proportional to VOUT; connected to NMOS drain; sets feedback scaling with RBG |
| RBG (10) | Output voltage sense reference | Senses voltage across RBG; comparator trips at 1.24V; 2.49kΩ recommended for precision VOUT setting |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Primary-side output voltage sensing | Eliminates optocoupler and secondary-side feedback components, reducing BOM count and improving reliability in high-voltage isolation designs |
| Boundary-mode flyback control | Minimizes switching losses and allows smaller magnetics versus continuous conduction mode, enabling compact 300V+ chargers |
| Adjustable output voltage via resistor network | Target VOUT set by RVOUT, RBG, transformer turns ratio, and diode drop - no trimming required for production calibration |
| Integrated DCM detection | Accurately identifies zero-current crossing in transformer secondary to synchronize charge cycles without auxiliary windings |
| Low-quiescent-current shutdown | 1µA VCC and VTRANS quiescent current when CHARGE = 0V - critical for battery-powered emergency beacons and portable photoflash |

FAQ
What is the minimum input voltage required for LT3750EMS#TRPBF to operate?
The LT3750EMS#TRPBF has a minimum VCC of 3V and minimum VTRANS of 3V under full operating conditions. Absolute maximum ratings allow down to 2.8V VCC and 2.5V VTRANS, but guaranteed operation across temperature requires ≥3V on both pins. Below this, startup may fail or regulation degrade.
How does LT3750EMS#TRPBF achieve primary-side output voltage sensing without an optocoupler?
The LT3750EMS#TRPBF uses a resistor divider formed by RVOUT and RBG connected to the NMOS drain and GND, respectively. The RVOUT pin develops a current proportional to VOUT, and the RBG pin senses the resulting voltage drop. When RBG reaches 1.24V, the internal comparator disables charging - eliminating need for secondary-side feedback.
Can LT3750EMS#TRPBF drive high-side NMOS switches?
No. The LT3750EMS#TRPBF is designed exclusively for low-side NMOS configuration, with SOURCE pin tied to system ground and GATE driving the NMOS gate referenced to SOURCE. Its architecture assumes NMOS source is at GND potential; high-side drive would violate pin voltage limits and disable current sensing.
What is the purpose of the RDCM pin on LT3750EMS#TRPBF, and what resistor value should be used?
The RDCM pin detects transformer discontinuous conduction mode by monitoring NMOS drain voltage decay. A 43kΩ, 5% resistor is recommended for 300V output applications. Higher output voltages require proportionally larger RDCM values to maintain safe voltage standoff and accurate zero-current detection.
Does LT3750EMS#TRPBF support adjustable charge current limiting?
Yes. Charge current is limited by the 78mV threshold at the SOURCE pin. Using RSENSE = 78mV / IPK, designers set peak switch current precisely - e.g., 12mΩ yields ~6.5A peak. The LT3750EMS#TRPBF does not provide programmable current limit via external DAC or digital interface; adjustment is purely resistor-based.
