Product details
Overview
LTC3805EDD-5#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a current-mode DC/DC controller IC designed to drive an external N-channel MOSFET in flyback, boost, and SEPIC topologies. It delivers ±1.5% output voltage accuracy, supports 70kHz–700kHz adjustable switching frequency via a single resistor, features programmable overcurrent protection with automatic restart, and operates from 4.7V–8.8V VCC or high-VIN bias via internal 9.5V shunt regulator - enabling use in automotive auxiliary power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3805EDD-5#PBF datasheet, LTC3805EDD-5#PBF pinout, LTC3805EDD-5#PBF application, or LTC3805EDD-5#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 10-lead 3mm × 3mm DFN package, 100mV current sense threshold, micropower 40µA startup current, RUN pin with precision undervoltage lockout (1.207V turn-on), and synchronous capability for noise-sensitive systems.
Technical Context
The LTC3805EDD-5#PBF implements peak current-mode control using an internal error amplifier (333µA/V transconductance), programmable slope compensation (10µA ramp injected at ISENSE), and dual-threshold RUN pin logic with 35mV built-in hysteresis plus user-adjustable hysteresis via 5µA sourcing. Its oscillator uses a resistor-to-frequency transfer function (fOSC = 24×10⁹/(RFS − 1500)) and supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin.
Protection architecture integrates independent overcurrent detection (OC pin, 100mV threshold), fault timeout (4.5ms internal, extendable via SSFLT capacitor), and soft-start (1.8ms internal, programmable via SSFLT). The ITH pin serves as both loop compensation node and current comparator threshold input, clamped between 0.7V and 1.9V during regulation.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-mode flyback/boost controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3751EMSE#PBF | Higher VCC rating (100V), integrated high-side gate driver, no SYNC pin, fixed 100mV OCP threshold. | Targeted at high-input-voltage flyback (e.g., AC/DC offline), lacks programmable frequency and soft-start flexibility. | Select when input exceeds 40V or high-side drive is needed; avoid if SYNC or fine frequency tuning is required. |
| UCC28086DR | VFB = 2.5V, higher IQ (1.5mA), no internal VCC shunt, requires external bias, fixed 1MHz max fOSC. | Designed for cost-sensitive industrial SMPS; lacks micropower startup, RUN hysteresis, and OC pin independence. | Select for high-volume, non-battery-backed applications where 2.5V feedback simplifies divider design. |
Compared with LT3751EMSE#PBF and UCC28086DR, the LTC3805EDD-5#PBF offers superior startup efficiency (40µA), flexible biasing (9.5V shunt), and dedicated fault handling (separate OC pin), making it optimal for low-power, wide-input-range isolated DC/DC where reliability and design simplicity are prioritized over ultra-high input voltage tolerance.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage that can be applied to the VCC pin of the LTC3805EDD-5#PBF?
The LTC3805EDD-5#PBF VCC pin accepts up to 8.8V from a low-impedance source. When powered from higher voltages (e.g., 24V), a series resistor must be used - the internal 9.5V shunt regulator limits VCC to ~9.5V while sinking up to 25mA. Exceeding 25mA risks regulator thermal failure, so resistor value must ensure current stays within this limit across min/max input conditions. The LTC3805EDD-5#PBF datasheet specifies absolute maximum VCC as 8.8V for low-impedance sources and does not permit direct connection above that without current limiting.
Can the LTC3805EDD-5#PBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what are the electrical requirements for the SYNC pin?
Yes, the LTC3805EDD-5#PBF supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 6). The SYNC signal must have a rising edge that triggers the start of each switching cycle, with amplitude ≥2.9V and compatible with TTL/CMOS logic levels. The acceptable SYNC frequency range matches the internal oscillator range: 70kHz to 700kHz. Pulse width is flexible, but duty cycle should avoid violating the minimum off-time required for proper current sensing blanking. This capability is confirmed in the LTC3805EDD-5#PBF Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Application schematics.
How does the RUN pin hysteresis work on the LTC3805EDD-5#PBF, and how is it programmed?
The LTC3805EDD-5#PBF RUN pin has built-in 35mV hysteresis (1.207V turn-on, 1.170V turn-off) and adds user-programmable hysteresis via a 5µA current source active during operation. When enabled, this current flows through the upper resistor (R1) of the VIN-to-RUN divider, lowering the effective turn-off threshold. The falling VIN threshold is calculated as VIN(RUN,FALLING) = VRUNOFF × (R1+R2)/R2 − R1×5µA. This allows precise brownout recovery points without external components. The LTC3805EDD-5#PBF Applications Information section provides the full derivation and example calculations.
What is the purpose of the separate OC pin on the LTC3805EDD-5#PBF, and how does it differ from ISENSE-based overcurrent protection?
The OC pin on the LTC3805EDD-5#PBF provides independent overcurrent detection with a dedicated 100mV threshold, separate from the main ISENSE path used for current-mode regulation. While ISENSE controls peak current during normal operation (clamped at ~100mV when ITH reaches 1.9V), the OC pin triggers immediate shutdown if sensed current exceeds its threshold - preventing damage during hard shorts or overload before duty cycle reduction becomes ineffective. This dual-path protection is explicitly documented in the LTC3805EDD-5#PBF Operation section and block diagram, ensuring robust fault coverage beyond standard current-mode limits.
Does the LTC3805EDD-5#PBF support slope compensation, and how is it implemented?
Yes, the LTC3805EDD-5#PBF supports adjustable slope compensation via a 10µA peak current ramp injected from the ISENSE pin (Pin 7). This linear ramp begins at 6% duty cycle and peaks at 80%, developing a voltage across an external resistor placed in series with the current sense element. The ramp compensates for subharmonic oscillation in continuous conduction mode (CCM) flyback/boost designs. Implementation details, including resistor calculation and timing alignment, are provided in the LTC3805EDD-5#PBF Applications Information section and confirmed in the Pin Functions description.
