Product details
Overview
LT8310MPFE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a high-voltage resonant-reset forward converter controller driving a low-side N-channel MOSFET with an internally regulated 10V gate supply. It delivers duty-mode control for isolated output regulation without optocoupler feedback, supports 6V–100V input, 100kHz–500kHz programmable switching frequency, and features synchronous secondary-side control via SOUT pin. It is used in rugged 48V telecom power supplies and military-grade isolated DC/DC converters.
For engineers reviewing the LT8310MPFE#TRPBF datasheet, LT8310MPFE#TRPBF pinout, LT8310MPFE#TRPBF application, or LT8310MPFE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –55°C to +150°C extended temperature grade, 20-lead TSSOP package with HV pin spacing, duty-mode vs current-mode operation flexibility, and transformer-based volt-second accuracy for flux-saturation immunity.
Technical Context
The LT8310MPFE#TRPBF implements a patent-pending duty-mode control loop where duty cycle D ∝ 1/VIN, enabling stable isolated output voltage without feedback-achieved by precise 20µA sink at RDVIN and internal transconductance error amplifier (250 µA/V). Its dual-mode architecture allows seamless transition between duty mode (FBX grounded) and current mode (FBX connected), with programmable maximum duty limit (78% typ) and minimum on-time (190 ns) ensuring transformer reset integrity.
Protection is implemented via independent UVLO/OVLO thresholds (1.22 V / 1.25 V with hysteresis), 125 mV current sense threshold, thermal shutdown at 165°C, and hiccup-mode overcurrent response. The SS pin controls soft-start with 50 µA charge and 6 mA discharge, while SYNC enables external clock synchronization and SOUT provides non-overlapping timing (tPRE = 240 ns typ, tPOST = 12 ns typ) for synchronous rectification.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Input Voltage Range | 6 V to 100 V - supports wide-range industrial, telecom, and military input rails without external pre-regulation |
| Switching Frequency | 100 kHz to 500 kHz - user-programmable via RT resistor; enables optimization of efficiency, EMI, and magnetics size |
| Duty Cycle Limit | 78 % max - guarantees sufficient off-time for transformer flux reset in resonant-reset forward topology |
| Operating Temp Range | –55°C to +150°C - qualified for extended military and harsh-environment applications |
| INTVCC Regulator | 10.0 V ±0.4 V - powers gate driver and internal circuitry; dropout <600 mV at 20 mA ensures stability across input range |
| SENSE Threshold | 125 mV ±10 mV - sets primary-side overcurrent protection point; Kelvin-sense compatible for accurate MOSFET current monitoring |
| UVLO Threshold | 1.220 V (falling) with 40 mV hysteresis - defines system startup voltage and prevents brownout oscillation |
Pinout & Package
LT8310MPFE#TRPBF is housed in a 20-lead plastic TSSOP (FE package) with exposed pad (Pin 21) soldered to ground plane for thermal and electrical integrity. Pin spacing meets HV requirements for >100 V standoff.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| UVLO (1) | System undervoltage lockout input | Resistive divider sets 1.22 V falling threshold; 5.7 µA hysteresis current enables precise startup/brownout recovery |
| OVLO (3) | System overvoltage lockout input | Resistive divider sets 1.25 V rising threshold; fault latch forces shutdown above programmed VIN limit |
| DFILT (5) | Duty cycle loop filter node | Capacitor to GND sets loop pole; critical for damping load-step ringing in duty-mode operation |
| RT (6) | Oscillator timing resistor input | Resistor to GND programs fSW; 20 kΩ–100 kΩ yields 500 kHz–100 kHz; must be placed close to pin |
| SYNC (7) | External clock synchronization input | Falling edge triggers minimum off-time; requires ≥250 ns high/low times; overrides internal oscillator |
| SS (8) | Soft-start timing capacitor node | 50 µA charge / 6 mA discharge controls ramp-up; folds frequency/duty until VSS > 2.5 V |
| VC (9) | Error amplifier output | Transconductance output (250 µA/V); used for loop compensation in current-mode designs |
| FBX (10) | Feedback input & mode select | 1.6 V (positive) or –0.8 V (negative) reference; –0.2 V to 0.3 V range selects duty mode; otherwise enables current mode |
| SOUT (11) | Synchronous rectifier driver | Complementary to GATE; leads GATE turn-on by 240 ns, trails turn-off by 12 ns; drives pulse transformer |
| NC (12) | No internal connection | Must be connected to GND per datasheet; no functional role |
| SENSE (13) | Primary-side current sense input | Positive input to overcurrent comparator; 125 mV threshold protects against MOSFET short-circuit |
| GATE (14) | N-channel MOSFET gate driver | 0.05 V low / INTVCC – 0.05 V high; 30 ns rise / 27 ns fall into 3.3 nF; actively pulled to GND in shutdown |
| INTVCC (15) | Internally regulated 10 V supply | Supplies gate driver and internal logic; requires ≥4.7 µF bypass; can be externally driven up to 17 V |
| RDVIN (16) | Duty set current sink | 20 µA nominal sink; sets VSET = VINTVCC – VRDVIN; determines output voltage in duty mode via RSET |
| VIN (18) | Main supply and input voltage sense | 6 V–100 V operating range; senses VIN for duty calculation; requires short, low-impedance path to transformer primary |
| NC (20) | No internal connection | Must be connected to VIN per datasheet; no functional role |
| GND (21) | Ground and current sense return | Exposed pad; must be soldered to PCB ground plane; also serves as Kelvin return for SENSE resistor |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LT8310MPFE#TRPBF?
The LT8310MPFE#TRPBF is rated for –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, qualifying it for extended military, aerospace, and downhole applications. This MP-grade specification exceeds commercial (E), industrial (I), and high-reliability (H) variants, and is verified across all electrical parameters in the datasheet's "Electrical Characteristics" table under the "LT8310MP" column.
Can the LT8310MPFE#TRPBF operate without an optocoupler?
Yes-the LT8310MPFE#TRPBF supports true opto-free operation via its duty-mode control architecture. When FBX is grounded, the controller regulates output voltage solely using the transformer turns ratio and the RDVIN 20 µA sink, eliminating optocoupler drift, aging, and bandwidth limitations while maintaining ±8% VOUT load regulation.
How does the LT8310MPFE#TRPBF prevent transformer saturation?
The LT8310MPFE#TRPBF prevents transformer saturation through two mechanisms: (1) a hard 78% maximum duty cycle limit ensures minimum off-time for flux reset each cycle, and (2) its patent-pending duty-mode loop enforces D × VIN constancy-maintaining precise volt-second balance across the full 6–100 V input range, even during fast line transients.
What is the function of the SOUT pin on the LT8310MPFE#TRPBF?
The SOUT pin on the LT8310MPFE#TRPBF provides a non-overlapping, complementary timing signal to GATE-leading GATE turn-on by 240 ns and trailing GATE turn-off by 12 ns. It is designed to drive external synchronous rectifiers or pulse transformers in forced continuous conduction mode (FCCM), improving efficiency by reducing secondary-side conduction losses.
Is the LT8310MPFE#TRPBF pin-compatible with other LT8310 variants?
Yes-the LT8310MPFE#TRPBF shares identical pinout, package (20-lead TSSOP), and electrical interface with LT8310EFE#TRPBF, LT8310IFE#TRPBF, and LT8310HFE#TRPBF. Only the temperature grading differs; all variants use the same FE package footprint and require identical PCB layout, decoupling, and thermal design.
