Product details
Overview
LTC3803MPS6-5#TRMPBF 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 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 housekeeping converters.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3803MPS6-5#TRMPBF datasheet, LTC3803MPS6-5#TRMPBF pinout, LTC3803MPS6-5#TRMPBF application, or LTC3803MPS6-5#TRMPBF equivalent, key selection criteria include its –55°C to 150°C extended temperature grade, 240μA quiescent current, 4.8V UVLO threshold, and SOT-23-6 (ThinSOT™) package with NGATE drive capability up to 1A peak.
Technical Context
The LTC3803MPS6-5#TRMPBF implements fixed-frequency (170–230kHz typ.) current-mode control using an internal 200kHz oscillator, error amplifier with 200–500μA/V transconductance, and current comparator referenced to the SENSE pin. Its ITH/RUN pin serves dual roles: feedback compensation node and shutdown control, with 0.08–0.47V shutdown threshold depending on grade.
It employs ground-referenced current sensing via the SENSE pin, supports programmable slope compensation via external resistor RSL, and integrates a VCC shunt regulator clamping at 8.1V (typ.) with 25mA max sink capability. The NGATE driver delivers 40ns rise/fall times into 3000pF loads and operates rail-to-rail (0V to VCC).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Switching Frequency | 200kHz typical; ensures stable EMI profile and enables compact magnetics without low-frequency noise at light loads. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% over temperature; enables precise regulation in telecom and industrial auxiliary rails without post-regulation. |
| Quiescent Current | 240μA typical; minimizes no-load power loss in always-on housekeeping supplies. |
| VCC UVLO Threshold | 4.8V turn-on / 4.0V turn-off (typ.); prevents unreliable gate drive during brownout while enabling operation from 5V inputs. |
| Junction Temp Range | –55°C to +150°C; qualified for harsh automotive under-hood and industrial control cabinet environments. |
| Peak NGATE Drive | 1A peak for <10μs; sufficient to rapidly charge/discharge high-Qg MOSFETs like FDC2512 in flyback topologies. |
| Reference Voltage | 0.780–0.820V (grade-dependent); sets output via external resistive divider, enabling flexible VOUT design from 3.3V to >24V. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 6-lead low-profile (1mm height) TSOT-23 (S6), JEDEC MO-193 compliant, rated for θJA = 192°C/W.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| ITH/RUN (1) | Error amplifier output & shutdown control | Sinks/sources current to set current comparator threshold; pulled below 0.28V to force shutdown; internal 0.3μA pull-up. |
| GND (2) | Analog and power ground reference | Common return for VFB, SENSE, and internal regulators; must be low-impedance connection to minimize noise coupling. |
| VFB (3) | Feedback input | Compares divided output voltage against 0.8V internal reference; input bias current ≤50nA minimizes divider error. |
| SENSE (4) | Current sense & slope compensation injection | Monitors external RSENSE voltage; injects 5μA linear ramp for duty-cycle-dependent slope compensation. |
| VCC (5) | Supply input with integrated shunt regulator | Accepts 5–50V input; internal clamp regulates to ~8.1V; sinks up to 25mA to enable simple resistor-fed biasing. |
| NGATE (6) | N-channel MOSFET gate driver | Push-pull output swinging 0V to VCC; 40ns rise/fall into 3000pF; 1A peak current supports fast switching of medium-power FETs. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Constant-frequency current mode | 200kHz operation maintained down to zero load, eliminating audible noise and simplifying EMI filtering vs. variable-frequency alternatives. |
| Extended temperature grade | –55°C to +150°C operating range (MP-grade) enables use in automotive engine control units and industrial motor drives without derating. |
| Ground-referenced current sensing | Allows direct placement of RSENSE on MOSFET source, avoiding high-side sensing complexity and enabling input voltages beyond IC absolute max ratings. |
| Internal soft-start | 0.7ms controlled ramp of ITH/RUN voltage prevents inrush current and transformer saturation during startup. |
| Programmable slope compensation | 5μA ramp injected at SENSE pin enables stable operation at >50% duty cycle in flyback/SEPIC without subharmonic oscillation. |
Applications
| Telecom Auxiliary Supply | Power over Ethernet (PoE) Housekeeping |

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#TRPBF | Adjustable 100–600kHz frequency; no internal shunt regulator; requires external bias supply. | Better suited for designs needing higher switching frequencies or tighter EMI control; not ideal for simple resistor-fed inputs. | Select when frequency tuning or lower EMI is prioritized over bias simplicity. |
| LTC3873ES6-5#TRPBF | No external current sense resistor required (No RSENSE™); 100–600kHz programmable; higher quiescent current (1.2mA). | Reduces BOM count and PCB area in cost-sensitive, medium-power flybacks; less suitable for ultra-low-quiescent applications. | Choose when minimizing external components outweighs 5× higher IQ and lack of MP-grade temp range. |
Compared with LTC3803MPS6-5#TRMPBF, LTC3805ES6-5#TRPBF offers frequency flexibility at the cost of added bias complexity, while LTC3873ES6-5#TRPBF eliminates RSENSE but sacrifices quiescent current and extended temperature capability-making LTC3803MPS6-5#TRMPBF optimal for rugged, low-IQ, fixed-frequency flyback designs.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range of the LTC3803MPS6-5#TRMPBF?
The LTC3803MPS6-5#TRMPBF is an MP-grade part qualified for continuous operation from –55°C to +150°C junction temperature, making it suitable for under-hood automotive, industrial control, and outdoor telecom equipment where ambient extremes are encountered. This exceeds the –40°C to +125°C range of standard E/I-grade variants like LTC3803ES6-5#TRPBF.
How does the LTC3803MPS6-5#TRMPBF achieve low quiescent current?
The LTC3803MPS6-5#TRMPBF achieves 240μA typical quiescent current through optimized internal biasing, low-leakage CMOS design, and efficient gate drive architecture. This value is measured in normal operation with VITH/RUN = 1.3V and is critical for maintaining high efficiency in always-on auxiliary supplies-directly enabling longer battery backup or reduced thermal load in sealed enclosures.
Can the LTC3803MPS6-5#TRMPBF be powered directly from a high input voltage?
Yes-the LTC3803MPS6-5#TRMPBF integrates a VCC shunt regulator that clamps at ~8.1V and can sink up to 25mA. This allows direct powering from VIN (e.g., 24V–48V) through a single series resistor and local ceramic bypass capacitor (e.g., 10μF), eliminating the need for an external LDO or buck converter in many flyback implementations.
What is the purpose of the SENSE pin on the LTC3803MPS6-5#TRMPBF?
The SENSE pin on the LTC3803MPS6-5#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 stability in flyback converters operating above 50% duty cycle. An external resistor (RSL) converts this ramp into a compensating voltage.
Does the LTC3803MPS6-5#TRMPBF require an external optocoupler for regulation?
The LTC3803MPS6-5#TRMPBF does not require an optocoupler for basic regulation-it uses primary-side sensing via the SENSE pin and VFB feedback from the secondary. However, for tight output voltage accuracy (<±1%) across line/load/temperature, or in applications requiring reinforced isolation certification (e.g., IEC 62368), an optocoupler-based secondary-side feedback loop is recommended and commonly implemented in reference designs.
