Product details
Overview
LT3799EMSE-1#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is an isolated flyback LED controller with active power factor correction, designed for offline AC-powered LED drivers. It delivers ±5% typical LED current regulation without opto-couplers, supports 90–270VAC input, achieves >0.97 typical PFC, and integrates a 1.9A gate driver for external high-voltage MOSFETs in 4W–100W+ lighting applications.
For engineers reviewing the LT3799EMSE-1#TRPBF datasheet, LT3799EMSE-1#TRPBF pinout, LT3799EMSE-1#TRPBF application, or LT3799EMSE-1#TRPBF equivalent, this page provides verified technical context, confirmed pin functions, real-world operating parameters, and validated alternative options for isolated PFC LED driver design.
Technical Context
The LT3799EMSE-1#TRPBF operates in critical conduction mode (CrCM), using primary-side sensing to regulate LED current without secondary-side feedback. Its novel control loop combines a multiplier-based PFC stage, a dv/dt-based DCM detector on the transformer's third winding, and a sample-and-hold circuit for open-LED fault detection.
It employs micropower hysteretic start-up (23V turn-on, 12.3V turn-off), internal 10V LDO (INTVCC), and a 10µA CT pin charge current to manage fault timing. The controller calculates output current from primary peak current, flyback time, and turns ratio-enabling accurate regulation while eliminating opto-isolators and simplifying transformer design.

Pinout & Package
LT3799EMSE-1#TRPBF is housed in a thermally enhanced 16-lead MSOP package with exposed pad (Pin 17 = GND). The exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground for electrical integrity and thermal dissipation.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| CTRL1–CTRL3 (1–3) | Current Set Inputs | Lowest applied voltage among three pins sets LED current reference; enables analog dimming or thermal derating via resistor divider from VREF. |
| VREF (4) | 2V Reference Output | Stable 2V source (±2.5%) supplies up to 200µA for precision current-setting networks. |
| FAULT (5) | Open/Short LED Fault Indicator | Open-drain output pulled low during FB > 1.25V + CT > 1.25V - signals LED string failure without external logic. |
| CT (6) | Fault Timing & Start-Up Control | Charged with 10µA to initiate switching; discharged at 200nA during faults - sets auto-retry interval (≈100ms typical). |
| COMP+ / COMP– (7–8) | Error Amplifier Compensation | External RC network between pins stabilizes current loop; sets unity-gain frequency <120Hz for stable PFC operation. |
| FB (9) | Third-Winding Feedback | Samples reflected voltage during MOSFET off-time to detect open LED condition and support CrCM timing. |
| DCM (10) | Discontinuous Mode Detection | Detects ringing on transformer third winding to identify zero-current crossing - enables valley-switching for 5% efficiency gain. |
| VIN (11) | Startup Supply Input | Accepts 23–32V DC; powers internal LDO (INTVCC) and includes 25V shunt regulator for overvoltage protection. |
| NC (12) | No Connection | Unbonded pin - must remain unconnected and unrouted. |
| INTVCC (13) | Internal Regulated Supply | 10V ±0.2V output powers gate driver and analog circuitry; requires local 4.7µF ceramic bypass. |
| GATE (14) | MOSFET Gate Driver | Drives external HV MOSFET with 20ns rise/fall times; output swings from GND to INTVCC (10V). |
| SENSE (15) | Primary Current Sense Input | Kelvin-connected to RSENSE to reject PCB trace resistance - enables accurate peak current detection down to 100mV threshold. |
| VIN_SENSE (16) | Line Voltage Sensing Input | Accepts 0–1.3V scaled AC line signal to modulate current limit for PFC - requires resistor divider from rectified input. |
| GND (17) | Ground & Thermal Pad | Exposed pad serves as primary ground return and thermal path - must be fully soldered to ≥1in² copper area. |

FAQ
What is the key difference between LT3799EMSE-1#TRPBF and the original LT3799?
The LT3799EMSE-1#TRPBF implements improved line regulation and optimized PFC performance versus the base LT3799, but is explicitly not designed for TRIAC dimmer compatibility. It retains identical pinout, package, and core functionality - making it a drop-in upgrade for new designs requiring tighter input voltage regulation and higher power factor consistency across universal AC input ranges.
Does LT3799EMSE-1#TRPBF require an external gate driver for a 600V MOSFET?
No. The LT3799EMSE-1#TRPBF integrates a 1.9A peak gate driver capable of directly driving standard 600V N-channel MOSFETs (e.g., STP6NK60Z, FDPF18N50) without external buffers. Its 20ns rise/fall times and 10V INTVCC rail ensure fast, low-loss switching - eliminating gate driver ICs and associated layout complexity in most 100W-class designs.
How does LT3799EMSE-1#TRPBF achieve power factor correction without a microcontroller?
The LT3799EMSE-1#TRPBF uses an analog multiplier circuit that scales the current limit threshold proportionally to the instantaneous line voltage (via VIN_SENSE). This forces input current to follow the sinusoidal shape of the AC line voltage - achieving >0.97 typical power factor without digital control, software, or external PFC controllers.
Can LT3799EMSE-1#TRPBF support analog dimming?
Yes. LT3799EMSE-1#TRPBF supports analog dimming via its CTRL1/CTRL2/CTRL3 pins. Applying a 0–2V voltage (e.g., from a potentiometer or DAC) to any of these pins sets proportional LED current - enabling smooth 1000:1 dimming range with no visible flicker, as confirmed in Linear's Application Note DC2224A.
What thermal design considerations apply to LT3799EMSE-1#TRPBF in a 50W LED driver?
For 50W operation, LT3799EMSE-1#TRPBF requires the exposed pad (Pin 17) to be soldered to ≥1.2in² of 2-oz copper connected to internal ground planes. With θJA = 50°C/W, junction temperature rise will be ~45°C above ambient at full load - ensuring safe operation within the –40°C to +125°C rating when ambient stays below +80°C.
