Product details
Overview
LT8304ES8E-1#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a monolithic micropower isolated flyback controller IC with integrated 150V/2A DMOS switch, operating from 3V to 100V input and delivering up to 24W isolated output power. It enables opto-isolator–free regulation via primary-side flyback waveform sampling, supports boundary mode and low-ripple Burst Mode® operation, and targets high step-up ratio applications such as 4V–80VIN/5VOUT auxiliary supplies in industrial and automotive systems.
For engineers reviewing the LT8304ES8E-1#PBF datasheet, LT8304ES8E-1#PBF pinout, LT8304ES8E-1#PBF application, or LT8304ES8E-1#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 116µA sleep-mode quiescent current, 150V SW pin rating, 390µA active-mode IQ, 1.00V internal RREF reference, and optimized immunity to primary-side current ringing in ≥5:1 step-up configurations.
Technical Context
The LT8304ES8E-1#PBF implements quasi-resonant boundary conduction mode at heavy load-turning on the internal switch at the valley of SW node ringing when secondary current reaches zero-to achieve excellent load regulation without third-winding compensation. Its sample-and-hold error amplifier directly measures isolated output voltage from the flyback pulse amplitude, eliminating opto-isolators and reducing component count.
At light loads, it transitions to low-ripple Burst Mode® operation with a minimum 11kHz switching frequency, maintaining high efficiency while limiting output voltage ripple. The LT8304-1 variant (denoted by "-1" suffix) features extended blanking time immunity and is specifically validated for high step-up applications (≥5:1 transformer turns ratio), distinguishing it from the base LT8304 in transient response robustness under high-VIN/light-load conditions.
Key Specifications

Pinout & Package
LT8304ES8E-1#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO package (S8E) with exposed thermal pad (Pin 9, GND). The thermally enhanced package enables high-power-density isolated flyback designs with junction-to-ambient θJA = 33°C/W when the exposed pad is soldered to PCB ground plane.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN/UVLO (Pin 1) | Enable / Input Undervoltage Lockout Input | Accurate 1.214V enable threshold with 14mV hysteresis; enables programmable VIN UVLO using resistor divider; tie to VIN if unused. |
| INTVCC (Pin 2) | Internal 3V LDO Output | Powers internal control circuitry; must be bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to GND; no external supply allowed. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Main Input Supply | Supplies internal circuitry and serves as reference for RFB feedback path; requires local bulk and ceramic bypassing. |
| GND (Pin 4 + Exposed Pad Pin 9) | Power and Signal Ground | Exposes thermal pad for PCB heat sinking; both pins must connect to solid ground plane for thermal and EMI performance. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Drain of Internal 150V/2A DMOS Switch | High-slew, high-voltage node; minimize trace area and loop inductance to suppress EMI and voltage overshoot. |
| RFB (Pin 6) | Feedback Resistor Input | Connects to transformer primary SW node; converts flyback pulse amplitude into current proportional to VOUT; sensitive to layout parasitics. |
| RREF (Pin 7) | Reference Resistor Input | Ground-referred node for RREF resistor (typically 10kΩ); voltage regulated to 1.00V; sets output voltage with RFB and transformer ratio. |
| TC (Pin 8) | Temperature Compensation Output | PTAT voltage (1.00V @ 25°C, +3.35mV/°C); used with RTC resistor to offset output diode VF drift in 3.3V/5V designs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| No-opto isolated regulation | Eliminates opto-isolator and third transformer winding-reducing BOM cost, size, and long-term drift issues in medical/industrial isolation barriers. |
| Boundary mode + Burst Mode® | Enables high efficiency across full load range: >85% at full load (boundary), >75% at 1% load (Burst Mode®), with <15mVPP output ripple. |
| High step-up optimization (-1 variant) | Extended 950ns minimum on-time and improved current comparator blanking make LT8304ES8E-1#PBF suitable for ≥5:1 transformer ratios without false triggering. |
| Internal compensation & soft-start | Reduces external components: no external loop compensation required; built-in 11ms soft-start prevents inrush current and output overshoot. |
| Output short-circuit protection | Auto-recovery hiccup mode limits power dissipation during sustained short circuits-enabling robust operation in unattended systems. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated flyback controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8304ES8E#PBF | Base variant with 160ns minimum tON; less immune to SW node ringing in high step-up designs. | Suitable for ≤4:1 transformer ratios and moderate-VIN applications (e.g., 12V–48VIN/5VOUT). | Select LT8304ES8E#PBF only when transformer turns ratio is <5:1 and layout minimizes SW node ringing. |
| UCC28911DR | TI controller with 700V integrated MOSFET; no TC pin; fixed 100kHz frequency; higher IQ (250µA active). | Better suited for universal AC input (85–265VAC) offline flyback; lacks temperature compensation for low-VOUT accuracy. | Choose UCC28911DR for AC/DC adapter designs requiring higher input voltage range and simpler compensation, but not for precision low-VOUT DC/DC. |
Compared with LT8304ES8E#PBF, the LT8304ES8E-1#PBF provides superior noise immunity in high step-up applications, while UCC28911DR offers higher input voltage capability but sacrifices output voltage temperature stability and micropower performance.

FAQ
What is the key functional difference between LT8304ES8E-1#PBF and LT8304ES8E#PBF?
The LT8304ES8E-1#PBF features a longer minimum switch-on time (950ns vs. 160ns) and enhanced immunity to primary-side current ringing, making it specifically validated for high step-up transformer ratios ≥5:1. This design improvement prevents false triggering of the current comparator in applications like 48VIN/5VOUT with 8:1 turns ratio-where the standard LT8304ES8E#PBF may exhibit instability. Both share identical pinout, package, and core regulation architecture.
Does LT8304ES8E-1#PBF require an opto-isolator or third transformer winding for regulation?
No, the LT8304ES8E-1#PBF does not require an opto-isolator or third transformer winding. It achieves isolated output voltage regulation by sampling the flyback pulse amplitude directly from the primary-side SW node. This proprietary primary-side sensing method eliminates opto-isolator aging, nonlinearity, and dynamic response limitations while reducing component count and board area-confirmed in the LT8304/LT8304-1 datasheet Figure 1 and Block Diagram.
What is the purpose of the TC pin on LT8304ES8E-1#PBF, and how is it used?
Pin 8 (TC) on the LT8304ES8E-1#PBF outputs a proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT) voltage: 1.00V at 25°C with +3.35mV/°C coefficient. It is used with an external resistor (RTC) between TC and RREF to compensate for the negative temperature coefficient of the output diode forward voltage (VF ≈ –2mV/°C), improving output voltage stability over temperature-especially critical for 3.3V and 5V outputs. The datasheet provides exact equations for RTC calculation in Application Information Section 11.
What is the maximum isolated output power achievable with LT8304ES8E-1#PBF?
The LT8304ES8E-1#PBF delivers up to 24W of isolated output power, as specified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Typical Application sections of the datasheet. This assumes optimal design conditions: 85% efficiency, appropriate transformer turns ratio (e.g., 6:1 for 72VIN/5VOUT), proper thermal management via the exposed pad, and operation within the 3V–100V input range. Real-world output power varies with input voltage, output voltage, and transformer design-see Figures 1–4 in the datasheet for detailed curves.
How does LT8304ES8E-1#PBF manage efficiency at light load?
The LT8304ES8E-1#PBF maintains high light-load efficiency via low-ripple Burst Mode® operation: it alternates between active switching cycles and sleep mode, reducing effective quiescent current to 116µA. Unlike conventional burst modes, this implementation preserves low output voltage ripple (<15mVPP) by enforcing minimum on-time and off-time constraints, ensuring accurate flyback pulse sampling. The 11kHz minimum switching frequency determines sampling rate and defines the <0.5% full-load minimum load specification.
