Product details
Overview
LTC3803MPS6-3#TRPBF 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 telecom and automotive housekeeping supplies. It delivers ±1.5% output voltage accuracy, 300kHz fixed switching frequency, 240μA quiescent current, –55°C to 150°C operating temperature range, and ground-referenced current sensing enabling input voltages beyond its VCC rating.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3803MPS6-3#TRPBF pinout, LTC3803MPS6-3#TRPBF application, or LTC3803MPS6-3#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its wide-temperature-grade operation, programmable slope compensation, internal soft-start, undervoltage lockout with 1V+ hysteresis, and compatibility with high-VIN bias winding or resistor-fed startup schemes.
Technical Context
The LTC3803MPS6-3#TRPBF implements a current-mode control architecture with a 300kHz free-running oscillator, peak-current sensing via the SENSE pin, and an error amplifier whose output at ITH/RUN sets the current comparator threshold. Its internal shunt regulator clamps VCC to ~9.5V, supporting direct resistor-fed operation from VIN up to 72V.
It features micropower hysteretic start-up, internal soft-start (1.4ms), adjustable slope compensation via external RSL, and dual shutdown mechanisms: VCC undervoltage lockout (VTURNON = 7.5V, VTURNOFF = 4.0V) and ITH/RUN forced shutdown (VITHSHDN = 0.09V). The device operates across –55°C to 150°C junction temperature and enforces 8–80% duty cycle limits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Oscillator Frequency | 300kHz fixed - ensures predictable EMI profile and simplifies filter design |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% - enables tight regulation without post-regulation in telecom auxiliary rails |
| Quiescent Current | 240μA - minimizes no-load power loss in always-on housekeeping supplies |
| Operating Temperature | –55°C to 150°C - qualified for extended-range automotive and industrial environments |
| VCC UVLO Thresholds | VTURNON = 7.5V, VTURNOFF = 4.0V - supports reliable bias-winding startup with >3.5V hysteresis |
| Peak Sense Voltage | 85mV (min) - sets current limit with low-loss external sense resistors down to ~20mΩ |
| Soft-Start Time | 1.4ms - prevents inrush current in multi-rail systems during cold start |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead Plastic TSOT-23 (ThinSOT™), 1mm profile, lead-free finish, –55°C to 150°C operating range.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ITH/RUN (Pin 1) | Error amplifier output & shutdown control | Sets current comparator threshold; pulled low (<0.09V) forces shutdown; clamped to ~0.7V at startup |
| GND (Pin 2) | Power and signal reference | Ground return for VCC, NGATE, SENSE, and feedback network; must be low-impedance |
| VFB (Pin 3) | Feedback input | Compares output-derived voltage to 0.8V internal reference; 10nA input current enables high-value dividers |
| SENSE (Pin 4) | Current sense & slope compensation injection | Detects MOSFET source voltage; sources 0–5μA ramp for external slope compensation resistor (RSL) |
| VCC (Pin 5) | Supply input with internal shunt regulator | Internally regulated to ~9.5V; accepts up to 25mA sink current; requires ≥1μF local ceramic bypass |
| NGATE (Pin 6) | N-channel MOSFET gate driver | Push-pull output swinging 0V to VCC; 1A peak drive capability; 40ns rise/fall times into 3000pF |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-frequency current-mode control | Enables stable loop response across line/load transients without minimum load requirement |
| Ground-referenced current sensing | Allows use of low-side sense resistor - eliminates need for isolated sense or high-side driver |
| Programmable slope compensation | 5μA linear ramp injected at SENSE pin enables stabilization of duty cycles >50% in flyback designs |
| Micropower hysteretic start-up | Draws only 40μA during startup - enables efficient bootstrap from bias winding in high-VIN applications |
| Internal VCC shunt regulator | Regulates VCC to ~9.5V with up to 25mA sink - permits simple resistor-fed operation from 36–72V telecom rails |

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; 1.5A gate drive; no internal VCC shunt regulator; 0.3V current sense threshold | Requires external VCC regulation; less suitable for resistor-fed high-VIN startup | Prefer when higher gate drive current is needed and external bias is available |
| MAX17595ATP+ | 4.5–60V input range; 400kHz max frequency; integrated 1.5A MOSFET driver; no programmable slope compensation | Higher integration but lacks wide-temp grade and flexible slope compensation | Prefer for space-constrained designs where 150°C operation is not required |

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRPBF?
The LTC3803MPS6-3#TRPBF is specified for operation from –55°C to 150°C junction temperature, making it suitable for extreme-environment applications such as under-hood automotive systems and outdoor telecom equipment. This extended range is confirmed by full testing and qualification per the LTC3803MP-3 grade, distinct from the standard E/I/H grades.
How does the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRPBF achieve startup from high input voltages like 72V?
The LTC3803MPS6-3#TRPBF uses its internal VCC shunt regulator - which clamps VCC to ~9.5V - to enable direct startup from high VIN via a series resistor. It can sink up to 25mA through VCC to GND, allowing simple, robust resistor-fed operation without external regulators, as verified in the Absolute Maximum Ratings and Electrical Characteristics tables.
Does the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRPBF require an external slope compensation resistor?
No - the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRPBF includes an internal 5μA peak current ramp injected at the SENSE pin for slope compensation. An external resistor (RSL) is optional and only needed for duty cycles above 50% to prevent subharmonic oscillation; designs operating below 50% may short RSL, as stated in the Applications Information section.
What is the purpose of the ITH/RUN pin on the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRPBF?
The ITH/RUN pin on the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRPBF serves two functions: it acts as the error amplifier output (setting the current comparator threshold) and as the run/shutdown control input. Pulling it below 0.09V forces shutdown; during normal operation, its voltage varies from ~0.7V to 1.9V to command PWM duty cycle, as detailed in the Pin Functions section.
Can the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRPBF be used in isolated flyback topologies?
Yes - the LTC3803MPS6-3#TRPBF is explicitly designed for isolated flyback converters, as shown in the Typical Application schematic and described in the Applications Information. Its ground-referenced current sensing, VCC bias winding support, and programmable slope compensation make it well-suited for primary-side regulated isolated supplies.
