Product details
Overview
LT8304ES8E#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 eliminates opto-isolators and third-winding feedback via primary-side flyback pulse sampling, supports boundary mode for tight load regulation, and features low-ripple Burst Mode operation for high light-load efficiency in auxiliary/housekeeping power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT8304ES8E#PBF datasheet, LT8304ES8E#PBF pinout, LT8304ES8E#PBF application, or LT8304ES8E#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 116µA sleep-mode quiescent current, 150V SW pin rating, thermally enhanced 8-lead SO package with exposed GND pad, and compatibility with transformer turns ratios ≥6:1 for 5V outputs at 24–72V input.
Technical Context
The LT8304ES8E#PBF implements quasi-resonant boundary conduction mode at heavy loads-turning on the internal switch at the valley of SW node ringing when secondary current reaches zero-to achieve excellent load regulation without secondary-side sensing. Its sample-and-hold error amplifier captures the isolated output voltage directly from the flyback pulse amplitude, referenced to an internal 1.00V RREF regulation voltage.
At light loads, it transitions to low-ripple Burst Mode operation with minimum 11kHz switching frequency, maintaining high efficiency while preserving accurate output voltage sampling. The device integrates internal compensation, soft-start, EN/UVLO with 1.214V enable threshold and 14mV hysteresis, and temperature-compensated output voltage control via TC pin (3.35mV/°C PTAT).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 3V to 100V - supports wide-input industrial, telecom, and automotive auxiliary rails without external pre-regulation. |
| Integrated Switch | 150V/2A DMOS - enables compact isolated flyback designs up to 24W without external MOSFET or driver. |
| Quiescent Current | 116µA (sleep), 390µA (active) - minimizes standby power loss in always-on systems. |
| Output Regulation | No opto-isolator or third winding required - reduces BOM count, cost, and layout complexity while improving reliability. |
| Switching Modes | Boundary mode (heavy load), discontinuous mode (mid-load), low-ripple Burst Mode (light load) - balances efficiency, EMI, and regulation across full load range. |

| Operating Temp | –40°C to +125°C junction - qualified for industrial and automotive under-hood auxiliary supply applications. |
Pinout & Package
LT8304ES8E#PBF is housed in an 8-lead plastic SO package (S8E) with exposed GND pad (Pin 9), requiring soldering to PCB ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| EN/UVLO (Pin 1) | Enable / Input UVLO input | Pull below 0.2V to shut down; 1.214V threshold enables precise VIN undervoltage lockout with resistor divider. |
| INTVCC (Pin 2) | Internal 3V LDO output | Powers internal circuitry; must be bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic capacitor to GND-no external supply allowed. |
| VIN (Pin 3) | Main input supply rail | Supplies internal logic and gate driver; serves as reference for RFB feedback network. |
| GND (Pin 4 + Exposed Pad Pin 9) | Power and signal ground | Exposure pad is electrically and thermally connected to GND-mandatory soldering to PCB ground plane. |
| SW (Pin 5) | Drain of internal 150V/2A DMOS switch | Connects to transformer primary; minimize trace area to reduce EMI and voltage spikes. |
| RFB (Pin 6) | Feedback sense input | Connected to SW node via resistor; samples flyback pulse amplitude to derive isolated output voltage. |
| RREF (Pin 7) | Reference resistor terminal | Ground-referenced node where RREF sets feedback gain; nominal value 10kΩ for 1.00V internal reference. |
| TC (Pin 8) | Temperature compensation output | PTAT voltage (3.35mV/°C) used with RTC resistor to cancel output diode forward-voltage drift. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar isolated flyback controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT8304IS8E#PBF | Same silicon, rated for –40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature (same as LT8304ES8E#PBF); identical electrical specs and pinout. | No functional difference-intended for same industrial applications; differs only in test screening grade (I-grade vs E-grade). | Select LT8304IS8E#PBF if extended production lot traceability or AEC-Q200-aligned qualification is required. |
| LT8304HS8E#PBF | Same functionality, rated for –40°C to +150°C junction temperature; higher thermal robustness but identical electrical performance. | Suitable for under-hood automotive or high-ambient industrial environments exceeding 125°C junction temp. | Choose LT8304HS8E#PBF only when sustained operation above 125°C junction is verified in thermal simulation or testing. |

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LT8304ES8E#PBF?
The LT8304ES8E#PBF supports an absolute maximum input voltage of 100V on the VIN pin, with continuous operation specified from 3V to 100V. The internal 150V-rated DMOS switch allows safe operation with reflected flyback spikes up to 110V, leaving 40V margin for leakage inductance overshoot-critical for high-step-up designs like 48V-to-5V conversion.
Does the LT8304ES8E#PBF require an opto-isolator for regulation?
No, the LT8304ES8E#PBF does not require an opto-isolator. It achieves precise isolated output regulation by sampling the flyback pulse amplitude directly at the SW pin during zero-secondary-current intervals-eliminating opto-isolator aging, nonlinearity, and dynamic response limitations while reducing BOM count and cost.
How is output voltage programmed on the LT8304ES8E#PBF?
Output voltage on the LT8304ES8E#PBF is set using two external resistors: RFB connected between SW and RFB pin, and RREF connected between RREF pin and GND. With internal 1.00V reference, VOUT ≈ (RFB/RREF) × (1/NPS) × 1.00V – VF, where NPS is transformer turns ratio and VF is output diode forward voltage. An optional RTC resistor between TC and RREF adds temperature compensation.
What thermal considerations apply to the LT8304ES8E#PBF package?
The LT8304ES8E#PBF uses an 8-lead SO package with exposed GND pad (Pin 9), which must be soldered to a PCB ground plane to achieve θJA = 33°C/W. Without proper pad soldering, thermal resistance increases significantly-risking junction temperature exceedance beyond the 125°C max rating during 24W operation. Thermal vias under the pad are strongly recommended.
Can the LT8304ES8E#PBF be used in high step-up ratio applications like 72V-to-5V?
Yes, the LT8304ES8E#PBF supports high step-up applications such as 72V-to-5V with appropriate transformer design (e.g., 12:1 or 14:1 turns ratio). However, for ratios ≥5:1, Analog Devices recommends the LT8304-1 variant (e.g., LT8304ES8E-1#PBF) due to enhanced immunity to SW node current ringing-critical for stability at high VIN and light loads.
