Product details
Overview
LTC3805EDD#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a current-mode DC/DC controller IC designed specifically for flyback, boost, and SEPIC converters, driving an external N-channel MOSFET. It delivers ±1.5% output voltage accuracy, programmable 70–700 kHz switching frequency via a single resistor, and operates from a 9.5 V internal shunt-regulated supply-enabling high-input-voltage applications such as 36–72 V telecom supplies delivering 5 V/2 A.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3805EDD#PBF datasheet, LTC3805EDD#PBF pinout, LTC3805EDD#PBF application, or LTC3805EDD#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its adjustable slope compensation, micropower startup (40 µA), RUN pin with precision hysteresis, soft-start/fault timeout programmability, and dual-package availability in 3 mm × 3 mm DFN.
Technical Context
The LTC3805EDD#PBF implements peak current-mode control using an error amplifier output at ITH to set the current comparator threshold, with built-in 10 µA linear ramp injection on ISENSE for slope compensation. Its oscillator supports both resistor-programmed operation (70–700 kHz) and external synchronization via SYNC pin.
Protection architecture includes dual-level overcurrent detection: primary current limiting via ISENSE (100 mV typical trip) and secondary fault shutdown triggered by OC pin exceeding 100 mV, with programmable automatic restart via SSFLT capacitor. The RUN pin provides precision undervoltage lockout (1.207 V turn-on, 1.170 V turn-off) with 5 µA hysteresis current.

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar DC/DC controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LTC3873EDD#PBF | Fixed 300 kHz frequency; no SYNC or FS pin; lower quiescent current (25 µA startup). | Lacks programmable frequency and synchronization - suitable only for fixed-frequency, low-EMI designs where flexibility is not required. | Select when board space is constrained and frequency agility is unnecessary; not drop-in due to missing FS/SYNC pins. |
| UCC28C43DR | Voltage-mode control; no internal slope compensation; 1.5% reference accuracy; 2.5–30 V VCC range. | Requires external slope compensation circuitry; lacks RUN pin hysteresis and programmable soft-start - increases BOM count and design complexity. | Choose for cost-sensitive, non-critical applications where current-mode benefits (line/load regulation, inherent cycle-by-cycle limiting) are secondary. |
Compared with LTC3873EDD#PBF and UCC28C43DR, the LTC3805EDD#PBF uniquely combines programmable frequency, dual-stage overcurrent protection, and micropower startup in a compact DFN - making it optimal for high-reliability, variable-input telecom and industrial flyback designs where robust fault management and flexible timing are essential.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC3805EDD#PBF can control in a flyback application?
The LTC3805EDD#PBF itself imposes no intrinsic VIN limit - its absolute maximum VCC rating is 8.8 V, but it can control converters with input voltages up to 72 V or higher via external components. In the documented 36–72 V to 5 V/2 A flyback reference design, the LTC3805EDD#PBF uses its internal 9.5 V shunt regulator to derive VCC from VIN through a series resistor, enabling safe operation without auxiliary windings or LDOs.
How does the LTC3805EDD#PBF implement slope compensation, and is an external component required?
The LTC3805EDD#PBF injects a 10 µA linear current ramp from the ISENSE pin, beginning at 6% duty cycle and peaking at 80%. This ramp develops slope compensation voltage across an optional external resistor connected between ISENSE and the current sense resistor. While slope compensation is optional for discontinuous conduction mode (DCM), it is required for stable continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation - and the LTC3805EDD#PBF provides the necessary current source on-chip.
Can the LTC3805EDD#PBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what are the timing requirements?
Yes, the LTC3805EDD#PBF supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 6). A rising edge on SYNC forces the GATE pin high, initiating a new switching cycle. The external clock frequency must fall within 70–700 kHz - matching the internally programmed fOSC range - and the SYNC signal must meet TTL/CMOS logic levels (≥2.9 V amplitude, <10 ns rise time). Pulse width is flexible and does not affect operation.
What is the function of the OC pin on the LTC3805EDD#PBF, and how does it differ from ISENSE-based current limiting?
The OC pin (Pin 8) provides secondary overcurrent protection independent of the primary ISENSE current limit. While ISENSE regulates peak MOSFET current during normal operation (e.g., 100 mV threshold), the OC pin monitors the same current sense resistor but triggers a full shutdown and automatic restart sequence if its voltage exceeds 100 mV - indicating sustained overload or short-circuit. This two-tier protection prevents MOSFET destruction while allowing controlled recovery, unlike ISENSE-only limiting which reduces duty cycle but continues switching.
Does the LTC3805EDD#PBF require an external bootstrap capacitor for gate drive?
No, the LTC3805EDD#PBF does not use bootstrap gate drive. Its GATE pin (Pin 10) is a push-pull driver that swings from GND to VCC (typically ~9.5 V), directly driving the gate of an N-channel MOSFET referenced to source. No high-side driver or bootstrap capacitor is needed - simplifying layout and eliminating reliability concerns associated with floating supply generation. This architecture is standard for controllers targeting low-side N-MOSFET configurations in flyback, boost, and SEPIC topologies.
