Product details
Overview
LTC3805EMSE#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 with 360 µA quiescent current. It enables high-input-voltage telecom power supplies (e.g., 36–72 VIN to 5 V/2 A nonisolated flyback).
For engineers reviewing the LTC3805EMSE#PBF datasheet, LTC3805EMSE#PBF pinout, LTC3805EMSE#PBF application, or LTC3805EMSE#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its adjustable slope compensation, micropower startup (40 µA), RUN pin with precision threshold (1.207 V turn-on), soft-start timing control via SSFLT capacitor, and dual overcurrent protection with automatic restart.
Technical Context
The LTC3805EMSE#PBF implements peak-current-mode control using an internal error amplifier (333 µA/V transconductance), programmable oscillator, and dual-comparator architecture - one for current sensing (ITH-controlled trip), another for overcurrent fault detection (OC pin). Its ITH pin serves as both loop compensation node and PWM duty-cycle command point, enabling fast line/load transient response.
It features two independent undervoltage lockout mechanisms: VCC UVLO (8.4 V turn-on / 4.0 V turn-off) and RUN pin UVLO (1.207 V turn-on / 1.170 V turn-off with 5 µA hysteresis current), allowing flexible input enable sequencing. The internal 9.5 V shunt regulator permits direct high-VIN biasing through a resistor, decoupling controller operation from input voltage limits.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology Support | Flyback, boost, SEPIC - no inherent VIN/VOUT limits; constrained only by external components. |
| Switching Frequency | 70 kHz to 700 kHz, set by single RFS resistor; synchronizable to external clock. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% over –40°C to +85°C (E-grade), referenced to 0.800 V internal bandgap. |
| Quiescent Current | 360 µA in normal operation; drops to 40 µA during micropower startup mode. |
| VCC Shunt Regulator | 9.5 V clamp (8.9–9.9 V range at 25 mA), enabling direct high-VIN biasing without external LDO. |
| Overcurrent Protection | Dual-stage: ISENSE-based peak current limit (100 mV typical) + OC pin fault detection (100 mV threshold, adjustable). |
| Soft-Start & Fault Timeout | Programmable via SSFLT capacitor; internal defaults: 1.8 ms soft-start, 4.5 ms fault timeout. |
Pinout & Package
The LTC3805EMSE#PBF is housed in a 10-lead plastic MSOP package (3 mm × 3 mm footprint, exposed pad) with θJA = 45°C/W and rated for –40°C to +85°C operation. The exposed pad (Pin 11) is GND and must be soldered to PCB ground for thermal and electrical performance.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SSFLT (1) | Soft-Start/Fault Timeout Control | Capacitor to GND sets ramp time for output voltage rise and post-fault restart delay; also stores timeout state. |
| ITH (2) | Error Amplifier Output / Compensation Node | Voltage-controlled PWM comparator threshold; clamped 0.7–1.9 V; connects to RC network for loop stability. |
| FB (3) | Feedback Input | Monitors resistive divider output; regulates VOUT by servoing to 0.800 V reference. |
| RUN (4) | Enable/Disable Control | Precision UVLO input (1.207 V ON / 1.170 V OFF); hysteresis set by external divider's Thevenin resistance. |
| FS (5) | Frequency Set | Resistor to GND programs oscillator frequency per fOSC = 24×10⁹/(RFS − 1500). |
| SYNC (6) | External Clock Input | Rising-edge-triggered synchronization; supports external clock frequencies matching fOSC range. |
| ISENSE (7) | Current Sense & Slope Compensation | Measures MOSFET source current; injects 10 µA linear ramp for slope compensation (adjustable via external resistor). |
| OC (8) | Overcurrent Fault Detection | Second current sense path; trips shutdown if voltage exceeds programmed threshold (e.g., 100 mV default). |
| VCC (9) | Supply Input | Powered via internal 9.5 V shunt regulator; accepts up to 25 mA sink; requires local 1 µF bypass. |
| GATE (10) | MOSFET Gate Driver Output | Push-pull driver (30 ns rise/fall into 3 nF); swings GND to VCC to drive N-channel MOSFET gate. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable operating frequency | 70–700 kHz via single resistor (RFS), enabling EMI optimization and magnetics sizing flexibility. |
| Programmable slope compensation | 10 µA linear current ramp on ISENSE pin, usable with external resistor to stabilize current-mode control at >50% duty cycle. |
| Dual overcurrent protection | Primary ISENSE-based current limiting + secondary OC pin fault detection with automatic restart after timeout. |
| Low-power startup mode | 40 µA supply current during micropower start-up, reducing bias loss in high-VIN applications before regulation begins. |
| Precision RUN pin control | 1.207 V turn-on threshold with 5 µA hysteresis current, enabling accurate input voltage sequencing and brownout recovery. |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar current-mode flyback controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| LT3748IMSE#PBF | Integrated 10 V gate driver; no external VCC shunt required; supports higher VIN (100 V max); fixed 100 kHz–1 MHz freq range. | Designed for isolated flyback with transformer-coupled feedback; lacks RUN pin hysteresis and micropower startup. | Choose LT3748IMSE#PBF when higher input voltage rating and integrated gate drive simplify design, accepting trade-offs in startup current and enable flexibility. |
| UCC28740DR | Fixed-frequency quasi-resonant controller; lower IQ (250 µA); no programmable slope compensation; TI-specific bias architecture. | Optimized for low-noise AC/DC adapters; lacks SYNC input and dual UVLO; not suited for wide-VIN industrial bias schemes. | Choose UCC28740DR for cost-sensitive consumer adapters where QR operation reduces EMI, but avoid in telecom or automotive due to missing robust enable and bias features. |
Compared with LT3748IMSE#PBF and UCC28740DR, the LTC3805EMSE#PBF uniquely combines micropower startup (40 µA), dual UVLO control (VCC + RUN), and fully programmable slope compensation - making it optimal for ruggedized, wide-input industrial and telecom flyback designs requiring precise sequencing and stability.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC3805EMSE#PBF?
The LTC3805EMSE#PBF is specified for operation from –40°C to +85°C (E-grade). This range is guaranteed per datasheet testing and applies to all electrical characteristics unless otherwise noted. The MSOP package's exposed pad must be thermally connected to PCB ground to maintain junction temperature within limits under full load.
How does the RUN pin function on the LTC3805EMSE#PBF?
The RUN pin on the LTC3805EMSE#PBF provides precision enable/disable control with a 1.207 V turn-on threshold and 1.170 V turn-off threshold. A 5 µA hysteresis current flows through the external voltage divider, creating programmable hysteresis. This allows clean startup/shutdown sequencing in systems with variable input voltage, such as automotive or telecom rectified buses.
Can the LTC3805EMSE#PBF be powered directly from a high input voltage like 48 V?
Yes - the LTC3805EMSE#PBF integrates a 9.5 V shunt regulator on the VCC pin, allowing direct connection to high-VIN sources (e.g., 48 V) via a current-limiting resistor. The internal regulator sinks up to 25 mA, protecting the IC while enabling simple, low-component-count biasing without external regulators or transformers.
What is the purpose of the SSFLT pin on the LTC3805EMSE#PBF?
The SSFLT pin on the LTC3805EMSE#PBF controls both soft-start timing and fault timeout duration. Connecting a capacitor from SSFLT to GND sets the ramp rate for output voltage rise during startup and determines the delay before automatic restart after an overcurrent fault. Internal defaults are 1.8 ms soft-start and 4.5 ms timeout, both extendable with external capacitance.
Does the LTC3805EMSE#PBF support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes - the LTC3805EMSE#PBF includes a dedicated SYNC pin (Pin 6) that accepts an external clock signal. A rising edge on SYNC triggers the start of each switching cycle (GATE high), enabling precise frequency alignment across multiple converters to reduce beat frequencies and EMI peaks. Supported SYNC frequency matches the internal oscillator range: 70 kHz to 700 kHz.
