Product details
Overview
LTC3805EMSE-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 - used in automotive auxiliary power supplies and isolated telecom housekeeping rails.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3805EMSE-5#PBF datasheet, LTC3805EMSE-5#PBF pinout, LTC3805EMSE-5#PBF application, or LTC3805EMSE-5#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its 10-lead MSOP package, 4.5V VCC undervoltage lockout, 100mV current sense threshold, RUN pin with 1.207V turn-on threshold and user-adjustable hysteresis, and compatibility with high-side gate drive in non-isolated boost or isolated flyback configurations.
Technical Context
The LTC3805EMSE-5#PBF implements peak current-mode control using an internal error amplifier with transconductance of 333µA/V, ITH pin clamped between 0.7V and 1.9V for loop compensation, and a dedicated current comparator that trips when ISENSE exceeds a voltage proportional to ITH. Slope compensation is provided by a programmable 10µA ramp injected at ISENSE, enabling stable operation across wide duty cycles.
It integrates dual shutdown mechanisms: VCC UVLO (4.5V turn-on / 4.0V turn-off) and precision RUN pin control (1.207V turn-on / 1.170V turn-off), with 5µA hysteresis current enabling user-defined input voltage hysteresis. Fault handling uses SSFLT pin-based soft-start (1.8ms internal, extendable with capacitor) and fault timeout (4.5ms internal, restart on SSFLT discharge to 0.7V).
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology Support | Flyback, boost, SEPIC - no built-in power switch; requires external N-MOSFET and transformer/inductor. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% - achieved via 0.800V internal reference (E-grade, 0°C–85°C) and FB pin feedback loop. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 70kHz to 700kHz - set by single resistor from FS to GND; synchronizable to external clock via SYNC pin. |
| VCC Operating Range | 4.7V to 8.8V from low-impedance source, or up to 25mA current-fed via internal 9.5V shunt regulator. |
| Quiescent Current | 360µA normal operation; 40µA micropower startup - enables low-noise, low-power auxiliary rail design. |
| Current Sense Threshold | 100mV typical - sets peak switch current limit; adjustable via OC pin resistor for overload protection. |
| Undervoltage Lockout | VCC: 4.5V turn-on / 4.0V turn-off; RUN: 1.207V turn-on / 1.170V turn-off - ensures clean enable/disable sequencing. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead plastic MSOP (MSE), exposed pad (Pin 11) connected to GND for thermal and electrical performance. Pin pitch: 0.5mm. Body dimensions: 3mm × 3mm × 1.1mm.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SSFLT (1) | Soft-start & fault timeout timing node | Capacitor to GND sets soft-start ramp time and post-fault restart delay; internal 6µA charge / 2µA discharge currents. |
| ITH (2) | Error amplifier output / compensation point | Voltage-controlled PWM threshold (0.7V–1.9V range); connects to RC network for loop stability tuning. |
| FB (3) | Feedback input | Monitors output voltage divider; regulates to 0.800V reference; 20nA input bias enables high-resistor dividers. |
| RUN (4) | Enable/disable control input | 1.207V turn-on threshold with 5µA hysteresis current; supports VIN-referenced sequencing or external logic control. |
| FS (5) | Frequency set input | Resistor to GND programs oscillator frequency per fOSC = 24×10⁹/(RFS − 1500) Hz. |
| SYNC (6) | External clock synchronization input | Accepts 2.9V+ rising-edge-triggered clock; overrides internal oscillator for EMI reduction or multi-phase sync. |
| ISENSE (7) | Current sensing & slope compensation injection | Measures MOSFET source voltage; injects 10µA linear ramp for duty-cycle-dependent slope compensation. |
| OC (8) | Overcurrent fault detection input | Trips shutdown if voltage exceeds ~100mV; external resistor adjusts trip level independently of ISENSE path. |
| VCC (9) | Supply input | Powered from 4.7–8.8V low-Z source or high-VIN via series resistor + internal 9.5V/25mA shunt regulator. |
| GATE (10) | N-MOSFET gate driver output | Push-pull driver (30ns rise/fall into 3000pF); swings rail-to-rail between GND and VCC; 1A peak sink/source. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Programmable soft-start with fault timeout | Single external capacitor on SSFLT controls both startup ramp and post-fault holdoff - eliminates need for separate timers. |

FAQ
What is the maximum duty cycle supported by the LTC3805EMSE-5#PBF?
The LTC3805EMSE-5#PBF supports a maximum switch-on duty cycle of 95% at 200kHz. This enables high step-up ratios in boost and SEPIC configurations and accommodates wide input voltage ranges in flyback designs. Duty cycle is internally limited to prevent instability and ensure reliable current-mode operation across all operating conditions.
Can the LTC3805EMSE-5#PBF be powered directly from a 24V input?
Yes - the LTC3805EMSE-5#PBF can be powered from a 24V input using a series resistor into the VCC pin. Its internal 9.5V shunt regulator sinks up to 25mA, allowing safe operation as long as power dissipation in the resistor stays within limits. The LTC3805EMSE-5#PBF datasheet provides design equations and layout guidance for this configuration.
Does the LTC3805EMSE-5#PBF require an external current sense resistor?
Yes - the LTC3805EMSE-5#PBF requires an external current sense resistor connected between the MOSFET source and ground (or low-side switch node). The ISENSE pin monitors voltage across this resistor to implement peak current-mode control, while the OC pin uses the same node (optionally with a series resistor) for overcurrent protection.
What is the purpose of the SSFLT pin on the LTC3805EMSE-5#PBF?
The SSFLT pin on the LTC3805EMSE-5#PBF serves dual functions: it controls soft-start timing via an external capacitor that charges at 6µA, and it implements fault timeout by discharging at 2µA after overcurrent events. When SSFLT reaches ~2.25V, regulation begins; when it falls to ~0.7V after a fault, the LTC3805EMSE-5#PBF attempts automatic restart.
How does the RUN pin hysteresis work on the LTC3805EMSE-5#PBF?
The RUN pin on the LTC3805EMSE-5#PBF has built-in 35mV hysteresis (1.207V turn-on / 1.170V turn-off) and sources 5µA when enabled. This current flows through the external voltage divider, allowing users to program additional hysteresis by selecting R1/R2 values - enabling precise control of input voltage window for reliable system enable/disable behavior.
