Product details
Overview
LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a constant-frequency current-mode flyback DC/DC controller 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 fixed switching frequency down to light loads, and features internal soft-start, adjustable slope compensation, and 240μA quiescent current. It is used in telecom auxiliary supplies and PoE-powered housekeeping rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF pinout, LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF application, or LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature rating, ground-referenced current sensing enabling VIN beyond VCC limits, programmable UVLO threshold (4.8V turn-on), and SOT-23-6 ThinSOT™ package compatibility with space-constrained isolated converters.
Technical Context
The LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF implements peak current-mode control with a 200kHz free-running oscillator, internal 800mV reference, and error amplifier transconductance of 200–500μA/V. Its ITH/RUN pin serves dual roles: compensation node and run/shutdown control, with shutdown triggered below 0.08–0.47V depending on grade.
It integrates an internal shunt regulator clamping VCC to ~8.1V (at 1mA–25mA), supports external slope compensation via SENSE-pin 5μA ramp, and enforces duty cycle limits of 6.5% minimum and 70–90% maximum. The NGATE driver delivers 1A peak sink/source into 3000pF load with 40ns rise/fall times.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz fixed (170–230kHz over temp); enables predictable EMI filtering and compact magnetics design. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% over –40°C to 150°C; ensures stable regulation across automotive and industrial thermal extremes. |
| Quiescent Current | 240μA typical; minimizes no-load power loss in always-on auxiliary supplies. |
| VCC UVLO Threshold | 4.8V turn-on / 4.0V turn-off (typical); prevents unreliable gate drive during brownout conditions. |
| Peak Sense Voltage | 100mV (typical); sets current limit with low-loss, high-precision external sense resistor. |
| Junction Temp Range | –40°C to 150°C; qualified for under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial environments. |
| Gate Drive Rise/Fall | 40ns (CL = 3000pF); supports fast-switching MOSFETs without excessive switching loss. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead Low Profile (1mm) TSOT-23 (ThinSOT™), JEDEC MO-193 compliant, lead-free finish, tape-and-reel packaged.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ITH/RUN (1) | Error amplifier output & shutdown control | Sets current comparator threshold; pulled up by 0.3μA source; <0.28V forces shutdown. |
| GND (2) | Analog and power ground reference | Common return for feedback, sense, and VCC bypass; must be low-impedance. |
| VFB (3) | Feedback input | Compares output divider voltage to 800mV internal reference; 10nA input bias enables high-R dividers. |
| SENSE (4) | Current sense & slope compensation injection | Monitors RSENSE voltage; sources 5μA linear ramp for duty-cycle-dependent compensation. |
| VCC (5) | Supply input with internal shunt regulator | Internally clamped to ~8.1V; accepts 5–50V input via series resistor; requires local 10μF ceramic bypass. |
| NGATE (6) | N-channel MOSFET gate driver | 0V to VCC swing; 1A peak drive; 40ns edges; drives external switch in primary-side flyback topology. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-frequency operation | Maintains 200kHz switching from full load to light load, reducing low-frequency noise in sensitive analog systems. |
| Ground-referenced current sensing | Enables direct sensing on MOSFET source without high-side bias, simplifying layout and supporting VIN > VCC designs. |
| Internal soft-start | 0.7ms controlled ITH/RUN ramp-up prevents inrush current and output overshoot at startup. |
| Adjustable slope compensation | 5μA programmable ramp injected at SENSE pin stabilizes current loop above 50% duty cycle without external op-amp. |
| Wide input voltage range | Operates from 5V min; VCC shunt regulator allows direct connection to 6–75V inputs via single resistor. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flyback controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3805-5#TRPBF | Adjustable frequency (100kHz–1MHz), DFN-10 package, no internal shunt regulator. | Requires external bias supply; better for designs needing higher frequency or tighter layout control. | Choose when frequency tuning or lower profile (0.75mm) is prioritized over simplicity of single-resistor VCC feed. |
| LTC3873-5#TRPBF | No RSENSE architecture, senses MOSFET VDS; 8-lead ThinSOT, same temp grade. | Eliminates sense resistor loss but requires careful layout for noise immunity on high-side sensing. | Prefer when efficiency at medium-to-high load is critical and layout can accommodate VDS sensing. |
Compared with LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF, LTC3805-5#TRPBF offers frequency flexibility at the cost of added external components, while LTC3873-5#TRPBF improves conduction efficiency by removing the sense resistor but increases sensitivity to switching noise - making LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF optimal for cost-sensitive, thermally demanding, fixed-frequency isolated supplies.

FAQ
What is the maximum allowable input voltage for the LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF VCC pin?
The LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF VCC pin has an absolute maximum rating of 25mA into VCC, not a voltage limit. Its internal shunt regulator clamps VCC to ~8.1V across 1–25mA, allowing safe operation with input voltages up to 75V via a series resistor - as confirmed in the Typical Applications section and Absolute Maximum Ratings table. The LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF itself does not impose a VIN upper bound; external components define it.
Does the LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF support synchronous rectification?
No, the LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF does not support synchronous rectification. It is a primary-side controller with NGATE output only - intended to drive an N-channel MOSFET on the primary side of a flyback transformer. Secondary-side synchronous rectification requires a separate gate driver or dedicated secondary-side controller, which the LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF does not provide or monitor.
How is the undervoltage lockout threshold set on the LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF?
The LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF features a fixed internal UVLO with a nominal 4.8V turn-on and 4.0V turn-off threshold, as specified in the Electrical Characteristics table. This threshold is not user-adjustable - it is implemented via internal bandgap circuitry and applies directly to the VCC pin voltage. No external components are required to configure UVLO behavior for the LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF.
Can the LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF be used in boost converter configurations?
Yes, the LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF is explicitly rated for boost, SEPIC, and flyback topologies per the Operation section and Related Parts table. Its current-mode architecture, ground-referenced sense, and 200kHz oscillator make it suitable for non-isolated boost designs - though external component selection (inductor, diode, feedback network) must comply with boost-specific stability and voltage stress requirements.
What is the purpose of the SENSE pin on the LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF besides current sensing?
Beyond monitoring voltage across the external current sense resistor, the SENSE pin on the LTC3803HS6-5#TRPBF injects a programmable 5μA linear ramp current used for slope compensation. This ramp develops a duty-cycle-proportional voltage drop across an external resistor (RSL) to stabilize the current loop against subharmonic oscillation - a critical function in flyback converters operating above 50% duty cycle.
