Product details
Overview
LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a constant-frequency current-mode flyback DC/DC controller optimized for high-input-voltage N-channel MOSFET drive, delivering ±1.5% output voltage accuracy, 300kHz fixed switching frequency, 240μA quiescent current, and operation across –55°C to 150°C. It enables nonisolated telecom housekeeping supplies with input ranges up to 72V.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF application, or LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its extended temperature grade (–55°C to 150°C), ground-referenced current sensing, programmable slope compensation, internal soft-start (1.4ms), and VCC shunt regulation supporting resistor-fed or bias-winding power schemes.
Technical Context
The LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF implements a current-mode control architecture with a 300kHz free-running oscillator, peak-current sensing via the SENSE pin, and an error amplifier driving the ITH/RUN node to modulate duty cycle between 8% and 80%. Its internal 0.8V reference feeds the VFB comparator, enabling precise output regulation independent of external component tolerances.
It features dual shutdown mechanisms: undervoltage lockout (VTURNON = 7.5V, VTURNOFF = 4V, hysteresis = 3V) and ITH/RUN forced shutdown (VITHSHDN = 0.09V). The NGATE driver delivers 1A peak sink/source capability with 40ns rise/fall times into 3000pF, directly driving N-channel MOSFET gates without external buffers.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Oscillator Frequency | 300kHz nominal; ensures predictable EMI profile and simplifies filter design for telecom and automotive auxiliary supplies. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% over full temperature range; guarantees stable 5V housekeeping rail without post-regulation in telecom systems. |
| Quiescent Current | 240μA typical; enables high-efficiency light-load operation in always-on auxiliary power domains. |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to 150°C junction; qualified for harsh environments including under-hood automotive and industrial control cabinets. |
| VCC Shunt Regulation | Clamps at 9.5V (1mA load); permits direct resistor-fed startup from 36–72V inputs without external LDO or regulator. |
| Peak Current Sense Threshold | 85mV minimum (MP grade); sets precise overcurrent protection point for primary-side MOSFETs in flyback topologies. |
| Soft-Start Time | 1.4ms typical; prevents inrush current stress on transformer windings and output capacitors during cold start. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead TSOT-23 (ThinSOT™), 1mm height, RoHS-compliant, moisture sensitivity level 1.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ITH/RUN (Pin 1) | Error amplifier output & shutdown control | Sets current comparator threshold (0.7–1.9V range); pulled low (<0.09V) forces shutdown; hosts RC compensation network. |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal reference | Common return for VCC bypass, sense resistor, and feedback divider; must be low-impedance star point. |
| VFB (Pin 3) | Feedback input | Compares resistive-divider output against 0.8V internal reference; 10nA input bias enables high-value dividers for low standby loss. |
| SENSE (Pin 4) | Current sense & slope ramp injection | Monitors MOSFET source voltage; injects 5μA linear ramp (8–80% duty) for external slope compensation via RSL. |
| VCC (Pin 5) | Supply input with internal shunt regulator | Accepts 7.5–9.4V turn-on; clamped at ~9.5V; requires ≥1μF ceramic bypass adjacent to pin. |
| NGATE (Pin 6) | N-channel MOSFET gate driver | Push-pull output swinging 0V to VCC; 1A peak drive supports fast switching of >10nC gate charges. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Ground-referenced current sensing | Enables high-side primary switch configurations without level-shifting circuitry or isolated sense amplifiers. |
| Programmable slope compensation | 5μA internal ramp + external RSL allows stability tuning for wide duty-cycle or high-VIN:VOUT ratio flyback designs. |
| Micropower hysteretic start-up | 240μA operating ICC + 40μA start-up ICC enables reliable bootstrap from bias winding with minimal trickle-charge resistor loss. |
| Wide UVLO hysteresis (3V) | Supports self-powered operation from transformer bias winding without external supervisor ICs or complex sequencing. |
| No minimum load requirement | Constant-frequency operation down to zero load eliminates burst-mode noise and simplifies EMI compliance testing. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flyback controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28C43DR | Fixed 275kHz frequency; 1.5% reference accuracy; 2.5mA start-up current; no internal VCC shunt regulator. | Requires external VCC LDO or bias winding with tighter voltage control; less suitable for resistor-fed high-VIN startup. | Select UCC28C43DR only when external regulation is already present and lower start-up current is not required. |
| MAX5021ASA+ | 300kHz frequency; ±2% reference accuracy; 1.2mA start-up current; integrated 7.5V LDO for VCC. | LDO-based VCC supply limits max input to ~20V unless externally boosted; narrower temp range (–40°C to 125°C). | Choose MAX5021ASA+ for cost-sensitive 12V/24V industrial supplies where extended temperature is not mandatory. |
Compared with UCC28C43DR and MAX5021ASA+, the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF uniquely combines ultra-low quiescent current (240μA), internal VCC shunt regulation for direct high-VIN startup, and military-grade temperature range - making it optimal for unregulated telecom and automotive auxiliary rails where reliability and simplicity are critical.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF?
The LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF itself has no intrinsic VIN limit - its absolute maximum VCC rating is 8V, but it supports input voltages beyond that via ground-referenced current sensing and external MOSFET selection. In practice, designs using the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF routinely operate from 36V to 72V input buses, limited only by the external MOSFET's BVDSS and transformer insulation ratings.
Does the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF require an external current sense resistor?
Yes, the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF requires an external current sense resistor (RSENSE) connected between the MOSFET source and ground. This resistor converts switch current into a voltage sensed at the SENSE pin. Typical values range from tens of milliohms to several ohms depending on desired peak current; the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF's 85mV minimum sense threshold defines the lower bound for RSENSE selection.
Can the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF be powered directly from a high-voltage input rail?
Yes, the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF can be powered directly from a high-voltage input rail (e.g., 48V or 72V) using a series dropping resistor into the VCC pin. Its internal shunt regulator clamps VCC at ~9.5V and sinks up to 25mA, enabling simple, low-component-count startup without external regulators - a key advantage over controllers requiring dedicated bias supplies.
What is the purpose of the SENSE pin on the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF?
The SENSE pin on the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF serves two functions: (1) it monitors the voltage across the external current sense resistor to implement peak-current-mode control, and (2) it injects a 5μA linear ramp current (from 0 to 80% duty cycle) used for programmable slope compensation. When combined with an external resistor (RSL), this ramp generates a duty-cycle-proportional voltage that stabilizes the control loop against subharmonic oscillation.
How does the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF achieve its –55°C to 150°C operating range?
The LTC3803MPS6-3#TRMPBF achieves its –55°C to 150°C operating range through full characterization and testing across that junction temperature span (LTC3803MP-3 grade), including validation of all electrical parameters - such as ±1.5% reference accuracy, 300kHz oscillator stability, and 85mV current sense threshold - under extreme thermal stress. This qualifies it for deployment in unheated outdoor telecom enclosures and under-hood automotive locations.
