Product details
Overview
LTC3805HMSE-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 across –40°C to 150°C junction temperature. It enables high-voltage input automotive auxiliary power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3805HMSE-5#PBF datasheet, LTC3805HMSE-5#PBF pinout, LTC3805HMSE-5#PBF application, or LTC3805HMSE-5#PBF equivalent, this page provides verified pin functions, thermal-grade-specific electrical limits, slope compensation implementation details, soft-start/fault timeout timing control, and real-world converter design constraints for flyback/boost/SEPIC configurations.
Technical Context
The LTC3805HMSE-5#PBF implements peak current-mode control using an internal error amplifier with transconductance of 333 µA/V, ITH clamping between 0.7V and 1.9V, and a 10µA programmable slope compensation ramp injected at ISENSE. Its oscillator uses a single external resistor (RFS) to set frequency from 70kHz to 700kHz, and supports synchronization via the SYNC pin with 2.9V minimum amplitude.
It integrates dual shutdown mechanisms: VCC undervoltage lockout (4.3V–4.7V turn-on, 3.75V–4.15V turn-off) and a precision RUN pin with 1.122V–1.292V threshold and user-programmable hysteresis. Overcurrent detection occurs at OC pin with 85mV–115mV trip range, while ISENSE senses peak current with only 100mV drop across the sense resistor.

FAQ
What is the maximum junction temperature specification for the LTC3805HMSE-5#PBF?
The LTC3805HMSE-5#PBF is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to 150°C junction temperature. This H-grade rating is explicitly guaranteed per the datasheet's Electrical Characteristics table and Typical Performance plots, making it suitable for under-hood automotive and high-ambient industrial deployments where thermal derating is critical. The LTC3805HMSE-5#PBF achieves this through process and test validation, not just characterization.
How does the LTC3805HMSE-5#PBF implement slope compensation, and is it required for all applications?
The LTC3805HMSE-5#PBF injects a 10µA linear current ramp from the ISENSE pin, which develops slope compensation voltage across an external resistor. This feature is required for stable operation in flyback or boost topologies operating above 50% duty cycle to prevent subharmonic oscillation. The LTC3805HMSE-5#PBF datasheet confirms this ramp begins at 6% duty cycle and peaks at 80%, and its use is validated in the Typical Application circuits.
Can the LTC3805HMSE-5#PBF be powered directly from a 24V automotive rail?
Yes - the LTC3805HMSE-5#PBF can be powered from a 24V rail using a series resistor into the VCC pin. Its internal 9.5V shunt regulator sinks up to 25mA, limiting VCC to ~9.5V. For example, a 620Ω resistor drops ~14.5V at 23.4mA, keeping dissipation within safe limits. This method avoids needing a separate LDO and is confirmed in the "Powering the LTC3805-5" section of the datasheet.
What is the function of the OC pin versus the ISENSE pin on the LTC3805HMSE-5#PBF?
The ISENSE pin monitors MOSFET current for primary regulation and implements slope compensation, with a typical 100mV threshold. The OC pin provides independent overcurrent protection: it triggers immediate shutdown if voltage exceeds 85–115mV, bypassing the regulation loop. This dual-path architecture ensures fast fault response without compromising steady-state accuracy - a key distinction documented in the "Overcurrent Protection" section of the LTC3805HMSE-5#PBF datasheet.
Does the LTC3805HMSE-5#PBF support synchronization to an external clock, and what are the requirements?
Yes - the LTC3805HMSE-5#PBF supports synchronization via the SYNC pin, which accepts a rising-edge clock signal between 70kHz and 700kHz. The minimum amplitude is 2.9V, and the pulse width is flexible. Synchronization aligns the GATE switching edge to the external clock, reducing beat frequencies and enabling multi-phase interleaving - confirmed in the "Setting the Oscillator Frequency" section and Absolute Maximum Ratings table of the datasheet.
