Product details
Overview
LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a constant-frequency current-mode flyback DC/DC controller in a 6-lead ThinSOT™ package, optimized for driving N-channel MOSFETs in high-input-voltage isolated power supplies. It operates from 5V to 50V input, delivers ±1.5% output voltage accuracy, maintains 200kHz switching across light-to-full load, and features internal shunt regulation enabling direct high-VIN biasing. It is used in automotive auxiliary supplies and telecom housekeeping converters.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF application, or LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature, ground-referenced current sensing, programmable slope compensation, and 240μA quiescent current - all critical for rugged, low-noise isolated converter design.
Technical Context
The LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF implements fixed-frequency (200kHz) current-mode control with an internal oscillator, RS latch, and current comparator that sets peak switch current via the ITH/RUN pin voltage. Its error amplifier drives the ITH/RUN node to regulate VFB at 0.788–0.812V, closing the feedback loop through external resistive divider and slope-compensated current sensing on the SENSE pin.
It integrates undervoltage lockout (VTURNON = 4.8V, VTURNOFF = 4.0V), internal soft-start (0.7ms), and a 8.1V VCC shunt regulator capable of sinking up to 25mA. The NGATE driver delivers 1A peak current with 40ns rise/fall times into 3000pF, supporting fast-switching N-MOSFETs in flyback, SEPIC, and boost topologies.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Oscillator Frequency | 200kHz typical; enables predictable EMI filtering and stable operation down to light loads without frequency foldback. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% over temperature; ensures tight regulation for sensitive downstream circuitry without post-regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 240μA typical; minimizes no-load power loss in always-on auxiliary supplies. |
| Junction Temperature Range | –40°C to 150°C; supports under-hood automotive and industrial environments without derating. |
| VCC Shunt Regulation | Clamps at 8.1V with 25mA sink capability; allows simple resistor-fed bias from VIN up to 50V without external LDO. |
| Peak Current Sense Threshold | 100mV typical; sets precise overcurrent limit with minimal power loss in RSENSE. |
| Gate Drive Rise/Fall Time | 40ns into 3000pF; enables efficient switching of low-Qg MOSFETs while limiting dv/dt-induced noise. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead Low Profile (1mm) TSOT-23 (ThinSOT™), JEDEC MO-193 compliant, 3.85mm × 2.90mm footprint.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ITH/RUN (1) | Error amplifier output & shutdown control | Sets current comparator threshold; pulled to ~0.7V at startup; <0.28V forces shutdown. |
| GND (2) | Analog and power ground reference | Common return for feedback, sense, and gate drive; must be low-impedance to avoid noise coupling. |
| VFB (3) | Feedback input | Monitors output via resistive divider; regulated to 0.788–0.812V; 10nA input bias minimizes divider error. |
| SENSE (4) | Current sense & slope compensation injection | Detects MOSFET source current; injects 5μA linear ramp for duty-cycle-dependent slope compensation. |
| VCC (5) | Supply input with internal shunt regulator | Accepts 5–50V input; internally clamped to 8.1V; requires local 10μF ceramic bypass to GND. |
| NGATE (6) | N-channel MOSFET gate driver | 0V to VCC swing; 1A peak drive; 40ns edges; directly drives logic-level or standard N-MOSFETs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-frequency current-mode control | 200kHz operation maintained across full load range, simplifying EMI filter design and improving transient response vs. variable-frequency alternatives. |
| Ground-referenced current sensing | Enables high-side primary-side sensing without level-shifting; supports input voltages far exceeding IC absolute maximum ratings. |
| Programmable slope compensation | 5μA ramp injected at SENSE pin allows external resistor (e.g., 5.9kΩ) to stabilize control loop above 50% duty cycle and prevent subharmonic oscillation. |
| Internal soft-start | 0.7ms controlled ITH/RUN ramp limits inrush current and prevents output overshoot during power-up. |
| High-temperature grade (H-grade) | Specified from –40°C to 150°C junction temperature; qualified for under-hood automotive and harsh industrial applications. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flyback controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3805ES6-5#TRMPBF | Adjustable frequency (100–600kHz); higher 350μA IQ; same 6-lead SOT-23 package. | Better EMI flexibility via frequency tuning; less suitable for ultra-low-power standby due to higher IQ. | Select when frequency optimization or multi-rail synchronization is required; not drop-in due to different UVLO and soft-start timing. |
| LTC3873HS6-5#TRMPBF | No external current sense resistor needed (No RSENSE™); 100kHz fixed frequency; 150μA IQ. | Reduces BOM count and PCB area; lower switching frequency increases magnetics size but lowers switching loss. | Choose for cost-sensitive, space-constrained designs where peak current sensing accuracy is secondary to simplicity. |
Compared with LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF, LTC3805ES6-5#TRMPBF offers frequency agility at higher quiescent cost, while LTC3873HS6-5#TRMPBF eliminates RSENSE but trades off switching speed and peak-current precision for integration - making LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF optimal for rugged, high-efficiency, fixed-frequency flyback designs requiring accurate current limiting.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF?
The LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF is specified for a junction temperature range of –40°C to 150°C, making it suitable for under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial applications. This H-grade qualification exceeds the E- and I-grade versions (–40°C to 125°C) and is verified per manufacturer test data across the full range.
How does the LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF achieve input voltage independence beyond its absolute maximum ratings?
The LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF achieves input voltage independence via ground-referenced current sensing and isolated feedback architecture. Its SENSE and VFB pins operate at ground potential, while external components (MOSFET, transformer, diodes) handle high voltage - allowing VIN and VOUT to be limited only by those external parts, not the LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF's 25V absolute max rating.
Can the LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF be powered directly from a high input voltage like 48V?
Yes - the LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF includes an internal VCC shunt regulator that clamps at 8.1V and can sink up to 25mA. When biased through a series resistor from 48V, it self-regulates VCC without external regulators, provided power dissipation in the resistor remains within safe limits and CVCC (≥10μF ceramic) is placed adjacent to the VCC pin.
What is the purpose of the SENSE pin on the LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF?
The SENSE pin on the LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF serves two functions: (1) it monitors voltage across an external current sense resistor to implement peak-current-mode control, and (2) it injects a 5μA linear ramp current used for programmable slope compensation - critical for loop stability in flyback converters operating above 50% duty cycle.
Does the LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF require an external optocoupler for feedback?
No - the LTC3803HS6-5#TRMPBF supports primary-side regulation using reflected voltage sensing across the transformer auxiliary winding, eliminating the need for an optocoupler or third winding. Its VFB pin regulates based on a scaled version of the output, enabling simpler, more reliable, and longer-lifetime isolated power supplies.
