Product details
Overview
LTC3803IS6-5#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a constant-frequency current-mode flyback DC/DC controller optimized for driving external 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 soft-start, adjustable slope compensation, and ground-referenced current sensing. It is used in telecom auxiliary supplies and PoE-powered housekeeping rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3803IS6-5#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3803IS6-5#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3803IS6-5#TRMPBF application, or LTC3803IS6-5#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its 200kHz fixed-frequency operation, 240μA quiescent current, 4.8V UVLO threshold, 6-pin ThinSOT™ package, and compatibility with high-VIN flyback topologies requiring no optocoupler third-winding feedback.
Technical Context
The LTC3803IS6-5#TRMPBF implements peak current-mode control with an internal 200kHz oscillator, error amplifier with 800mV reference, and programmable slope compensation via SENSE pin current ramp (0–5μA). Its ITH/RUN pin serves dual roles: error amplifier compensation node and shutdown control input (0.28V threshold).
It uses ground-referenced current sensing at the SENSE pin, supports VCC supply via internal shunt regulator (clamped to ~8.1V), and provides NGATE gate drive capable of sourcing/sinking 1A peak for <10μs. The device guarantees operation over –40°C to +125°C junction temperature and includes undervoltage lockout with 4.8V turn-on and 4.0V turn-off thresholds.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Oscillator Frequency | 200 kHz nominal; enables predictable EMI filtering and stable loop design without frequency foldback. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% over temperature; ensures tight regulation for sensitive downstream logic or analog circuitry. |
| Quiescent Current | 240 μA typical; minimizes no-load power loss in always-on auxiliary supplies. |
| VCC UVLO Threshold | 4.8 V turn-on / 4.0 V turn-off; prevents unreliable MOSFET gate drive during brownout conditions. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.788–0.812 V (–40°C to +125°C); sets feedback divider ratio for precise output voltage programming. |
| Peak Sense Voltage | 100 mV typical; defines maximum switch current limit with minimal power loss in sense resistor. |
| Soft-Start Time | 0.7 ms typical; controls inrush current during power-up to avoid transformer saturation or output overshoot. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3803IS6-5#TRMPBF is housed in a 6-lead low-profile (1mm height) TSOT-23 (ThinSOT™) package, JEDEC MO-193 compliant, with lead-free finish and tape-and-reel packaging (TRMPBF).
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| GND (Pin 2) | Analog and power ground reference | Common return for feedback, sense, and VCC bypass; must be low-impedance connection. |
| VFB (Pin 3) | Feedback input | Compares divided output voltage against 0.8V internal reference to regulate output. |
| SENSE (Pin 4) | Current sense and slope compensation injection | Monitors MOSFET source voltage; injects 0–5μA linear ramp for duty-cycle-dependent compensation. |
| VCC (Pin 5) | Supply input with internal shunt regulator | Accepts 5–50V input; internally clamped to ~8.1V with up to 25mA sink capability. |
| NGATE (Pin 6) | N-channel MOSFET gate driver output | Drives external high-side switch with 0V to VCC swing and 1A peak current capability. |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC3803IS6-5#TRMPBF?
The LTC3803IS6-5#TRMPBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. This grade (I-grade) is validated across the full range per datasheet characterization and statistical process control, supporting use in demanding industrial and automotive environments where ambient temperatures exceed standard commercial limits.
Does the LTC3803IS6-5#TRMPBF require an external current sense resistor?
Yes, the LTC3803IS6-5#TRMPBF requires an external current sense resistor connected between the MOSFET source and ground. The SENSE pin monitors voltage across this resistor to implement peak current-mode control. Typical values range from tens of milliohms to several ohms depending on desired current limit, with 100mV full-scale sense voltage.
Can the LTC3803IS6-5#TRMPBF be powered directly from a high input voltage like 48V?
Yes, the LTC3803IS6-5#TRMPBF can be powered directly from up to 50V input via a series resistor into the VCC pin. Its internal shunt regulator clamps VCC to ~8.1V and sinks up to 25mA, eliminating the need for an external LDO or preregulator in most flyback implementations.
What is the purpose of the ITH/RUN pin on the LTC3803IS6-5#TRMPBF?
The ITH/RUN pin on the LTC3803IS6-5#TRMPBF serves two functions: it is the error amplifier output node (used for loop compensation with external RC network) and the run/shutdown control input. Pulling it below 0.28V forces shutdown; during normal operation, its voltage (0.7–1.9V) sets the current comparator threshold for PWM duty cycle.
How does slope compensation work on the LTC3803IS6-5#TRMPBF?
The LTC3803IS6-5#TRMPBF injects a linear 0–5μA current ramp from the SENSE pin starting at 6.5% duty cycle and peaking at 80%. When routed through an external resistor (RSL) to the current sense node, this creates a duty-cycle-proportional voltage that reduces the effective current limit threshold-stabilizing the control loop and preventing subharmonic oscillation.
