Product details
Overview
LT8310MPFE#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-voltage resonant-reset forward converter controller driving a low-side N-channel MOSFET with internally regulated 10V gate drive. It delivers duty-mode control for isolated output regulation without optocoupler feedback, supports 6V–100V input range, programmable 100kHz–500kHz switching frequency, and operates across –55°C to +150°C junction temperature. It enables 78W isolated DC/DC conversion in industrial power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LT8310MPFE#PBF datasheet, LT8310MPFE#PBF pinout, LT8310MPFE#PBF application, or LT8310MPFE#PBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its duty-mode vs current-mode dual-control architecture, RDVIN-based output voltage programming, synchronous secondary-side timing via SOUT, UVLO/OVLO programmability, and FE20 TSSOP package with HV pin spacing for 100V operation.
Technical Context
The LT8310MPFE#PBF implements a patent-pending duty-mode control loop where duty cycle D ∝ 1/VIN, enabling stable isolated output without feedback-achieved by integrating VIN-sensed current into the DFILT pin capacitor to generate a volt-second-accurate ramp. Its dual-mode operation allows seamless transition between duty mode (FBX grounded) and current mode (FBX connected), with the duty loop acting as a programmable relative maximum duty clamp during transients to prevent transformer saturation.
Core protection logic includes programmable UVLO (1.22V threshold, 40mV hysteresis) and OVLO (1.25V threshold, –33mV hysteresis) via external resistive dividers, soft-start–controlled frequency/duty foldback, hiccup-mode overcurrent shutdown triggered at 125mV SENSE threshold, and thermal shutdown at ~165°C. The GATE driver delivers 10V swing with 30ns rise/27ns fall into 3.3nF, while SOUT provides non-overlapping complementary timing with 240ns lead and 12ns lag relative to GATE.

Pinout & Package
LT8310MPFE#PBF is housed in a 20-lead plastic TSSOP (FE20) package with HV pin spacing, featuring an exposed thermal pad (Pin 21) that must be soldered to the ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity. Pin 20 (NC) connects to VIN; Pin 12 (NC) connects to GND.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| UVLO (1) | System undervoltage lockout input | Resistive divider sets falling UVLO threshold at 1.22V; 5.7µA hysteresis current enables programmable hysteresis. |
| OVLO (3) | System overvoltage lockout input | Resistive divider sets rising OVLO threshold at 1.25V; fault latch forces shutdown on overvoltage event. |
| DFILT (5) | Duty cycle loop filter node | Capacitor to GND sets loop pole; integrates VIN-proportional current for duty-mode stability and load-step response. |
| RT (6) | Oscillator timing resistor input | Resistor to GND programs switching frequency (100–500kHz); requires low-stray-capacitance layout. |
| SYNC (7) | External clock synchronization input | Accepts external clock ≥260kHz; falling edge triggers minimum off-time; requires ≥250ns high/low pulse width. |
| SS (8) | Soft-start timing and fault recovery | Capacitor to GND controls startup ramp; sources 50µA (normal), sinks 6mA (fault), clamps at 3V. |
| VC (9) | Error amplifier output | Transconductance output (250µA/V) for loop compensation; left open in duty-mode-only designs. |
| FBX (10) | Feedback input / mode select | 1.6V reference for positive VOUT, –0.8V for negative; –0.2V to 0.3V range selects duty mode; >7.5% overvoltage terminates cycle. |
| SOUT (11) | Synchronous rectifier driver output | Non-overlapping complement to GATE; 240ns lead on turn-on, 12ns lag on turn-off; drives pulse transformer for FCM. |
| SENSE (13) | Low-side switch current sense | Positive input to overcurrent comparator; Kelvin-connected to MOSFET source; trips at 125mV. |
| GATE (14) | N-channel MOSFET gate driver | 10V swing (INTVCC – 0.05V high), 30ns rise/27ns fall into 3.3nF; actively pulled low in shutdown. |
| INTVCC (15) | Internally regulated 10V supply | Bypass with ≥4.7µF; can be externally driven up to 17V to reduce dissipation or support higher gate drive. |
| RDVIN (16) | Duty-mode setpoint input | Sinks precise 20µA nominal; RSET between INTVCC and RDVIN programs VOUT = 12·VSET/(NP/NS). |
| VIN (18) | Main supply and voltage sense input | 6V–100V operation; also senses input for duty-loop accuracy; bypass with 1µF ceramic. |
| GND (21) | Power and current-sense reference | Exposed pad must be soldered to PCB ground plane; serves as Kelvin return for SENSE resistor. |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar forward converter controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC2891DR | Fixed 200kHz frequency; no programmable UVLO/OVLO; no SOUT pin; requires external VREF for duty-mode setup. | Limited to fixed-frequency designs; lacks synchronous rectifier timing; less flexible for wide-input or ruggedized systems. | Choose UCC2891DR only when cost sensitivity outweighs need for frequency tuning, hiccup OCP, or SOUT-driven synchronous rectification. |
| MAX5072AESA+ | Current-mode only; 75V max input; no duty-mode capability; integrated 5V LDO instead of 10V gate drive. | Cannot implement optocoupler-free isolated regulation; unsuitable for >75V inputs or high-side N-MOSFET gate drive. | Select MAX5072AESA+ only for lower-voltage, feedback-dependent designs where 10V gate drive and duty-mode operation are unnecessary. |
Compared with UCC2891DR and MAX5072AESA+, the LT8310MPFE#PBF uniquely combines programmable frequency, dual-mode control, 100V input tolerance, and SOUT timing-making it the only option capable of optocoupler-free 78W isolated conversion across –55°C to +150°C with transformer saturation protection.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage rating for the LT8310MPFE#PBF?
The LT8310MPFE#PBF has an absolute maximum input voltage rating of 100V on the VIN pin, and the UVLO and OVLO pins are rated to withstand up to 100V and 20V respectively. This enables direct interface with 48V telecom systems, 24V/270V military buses, and auxiliary rails derived from high-voltage battery stacks-without external clamping or pre-regulation.
How does the LT8310MPFE#PBF achieve regulation without an optocoupler?
The LT8310MPFE#PBF uses duty-mode control: its internal circuitry forces a duty cycle inversely proportional to input voltage (D ∝ 1/VIN) so that VOUT = D × VIN × (NS/NP) remains constant. The RDVIN pin sinks a precise 20µA current, allowing output voltage to be set via RSET = (VOUT × NP/NS) / 12V × 1/20µA-enabling accurate regulation without secondary-side feedback components.
What is the purpose of the SOUT pin on the LT8310MPFE#PBF?
The SOUT pin on the LT8310MPFE#PBF provides a non-overlapping, complementary timing signal to GATE-leading GATE turn-on by 240ns and trailing GATE turn-off by 12ns. It is designed to drive pulse transformers or gate drivers for synchronous rectifiers on the secondary side, improving efficiency and enabling forced continuous conduction mode (FCM) in forward converter topologies.
Can the LT8310MPFE#PBF operate in both duty mode and current mode simultaneously?
No-the LT8310MPFE#PBF operates in either duty mode or current mode, selected automatically based on FBX pin voltage. When –0.2V < VFBX < 0.3V, duty mode is active; otherwise, current mode takes control. In current mode, the duty loop remains active as a programmable relative maximum duty clamp to protect against transformer saturation during transients-ensuring safe dual-role operation without conflict.
What thermal specifications define the "MP" grade in LT8310MPFE#PBF?
The "MP" grade in LT8310MPFE#PBF denotes a guaranteed operating junction temperature range of –55°C to +150°C, with thermal shutdown activated at approximately 165°C. It is qualified per MIL-STD-883 methods for extended temperature reliability, includes enhanced process controls for parameter stability across extremes, and requires the exposed pad (Pin 21) to be soldered to the PCB ground plane for effective thermal dissipation.
