Product details
Overview
LTC3805HMSE#PBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a current-mode DC/DC controller IC for flyback, boost, and SEPIC converters, designed to drive an external N-channel MOSFET in high-input-voltage applications (e.g., 36V–72V input to 5V/2A output). It features programmable switching frequency (70kHz–700kHz), ±1.5% reference accuracy, 360µA quiescent current, and operates across –40°C to +150°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3805HMSE#PBF datasheet, LTC3805HMSE#PBF pinout, LTC3805HMSE#PBF application, or LTC3805HMSE#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its adjustable slope compensation, RUN pin with precision threshold and hysteresis, soft-start programmability via SSFLT capacitor, overcurrent protection with automatic restart, and compatibility with high-VIN biasing schemes using its internal 9.5V shunt regulator.
Technical Context
The LTC3805HMSE#PBF implements current-mode control using an error amplifier output at ITH to set the peak current comparator threshold, enabling fast line and load transient response. Its oscillator supports resistor-programmed frequency (via FS pin) and external synchronization (SYNC pin), with duty cycle limits of 6% min and 80% max at 200kHz.
It integrates dual protection logic: undervoltage lockout on VCC (turn-on at 8.4V, turn-off at 4.0V) and precision RUN pin control (1.207V turn-on, 1.170V turn-off with 5µA hysteresis current). Fault handling uses the SSFLT pin for both soft-start ramp-up and fault timeout recovery, with internal timers (1.8ms soft-start, 4.5ms timeout) extendable via external capacitor.
Key Specifications

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar flyback controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28C43DR | Fixed 100kHz frequency; no SYNC or slope compensation; lower IQ (1.5mA); 0°C–70°C only | Limited to fixed-frequency, lower-temp consumer/industrial apps; lacks programmability for EMI-sensitive designs | Choose UCC28C43DR only for cost-driven, non-automotive applications where frequency flexibility and high-temp operation are not required. |
| MAX17595ATP+T | Wider VIN range (4.5V–60V); integrated gate driver; no internal shunt regulator; requires external bias | Better suited for mid-range inputs; cannot directly replace LTC3805HMSE#PBF in >60V bias scenarios without redesign | Select MAX17595ATP+T when input is ≤60V and board space permits external bias circuitry; avoid for 72V telecom inputs. |
Compared with UCC28C43DR and MAX17595ATP+T, the LTC3805HMSE#PBF uniquely combines high-temperature rating (–40°C to +150°C), internal 9.5V shunt regulator for >60V biasing, and fully programmable slope compensation - making it the only option qualified for ruggedized telecom and under-hood automotive flyback controllers.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage the LTC3805HMSE#PBF can support?
The LTC3805HMSE#PBF itself has no intrinsic VIN limit - its pins are isolated from primary-side voltages. Input voltage is constrained only by external components: the MOSFET's BVDSS rating, transformer insulation, and output capacitor voltage rating. In the documented 36V–72V to 5V/2A application, the LTC3805HMSE#PBF is powered via its internal 9.5V shunt regulator from VIN through a resistor, confirming safe operation with 72V input.
How does the RUN pin function on the LTC3805HMSE#PBF?
The RUN pin on the LTC3805HMSE#PBF provides precision enable/disable control with 1.207V turn-on and 1.170V turn-off thresholds, plus 5µA hysteresis current that interacts with the external voltage divider's Thevenin resistance. This allows programmable input voltage activation windows and prevents oscillation during slow-rising or noisy supply rails - critical for automotive cold-crank and telecom brownout resilience.
Can the LTC3805HMSE#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3805HMSE#PBF supports external synchronization via the SYNC pin (Pin 6). A rising edge on SYNC forces the oscillator to begin a new switching cycle - i.e., drives GATE high - allowing precise phase alignment with other converters or noise-sensitive system clocks. The external clock frequency must fall within 70kHz–700kHz, matching the device's programmable oscillator range.
What is the purpose of the SSFLT pin on the LTC3805HMSE#PBF?
The SSFLT pin (Pin 1) on the LTC3805HMSE#PBF serves dual functions: it controls soft-start duration via a capacitor charging at 6µA, and it manages fault timeout recovery via the same capacitor discharging at 2µA after overcurrent events. When CSS is added, soft-start completes when SSFLT reaches ~2.25V; after fault, restart occurs when SSFLT falls to ~0.7V - enabling one-component control of both startup behavior and fault recovery timing.
Does the LTC3805HMSE#PBF require an external current sense resistor?
Yes, the LTC3805HMSE#PBF requires two external current sense resistors: one (RSENSE) between the MOSFET source and GND for primary-side current sensing at ISENSE (Pin 7), and another (ROC) in series with the OC pin (Pin 8) to program overcurrent trip level. Both resistors interface directly with the controller's internal comparators and are essential for peak current mode control and short-circuit protection.
