Product details
Overview
LTC3805IDD#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 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 +125°C junction temperature.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3805IDD#PBF datasheet, LTC3805IDD#PBF pinout, LTC3805IDD#PBF application, or LTC3805IDD#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 dual-package compatibility (10-lead DFN).
Technical Context
The LTC3805IDD#PBF implements peak-current-mode control using an internal error amplifier (gm = 333 µA/V), ITH-based PWM modulation, and a programmable oscillator synchronized via SYNC pin. Its current comparator trips when ISENSE voltage exceeds a threshold set by ITH voltage, enabling fast line/load transient response.
It integrates a 9.5V internal shunt regulator on VCC (sinking up to 25mA), supports micropower startup (40µA), and uses dual undervoltage lockout thresholds: VTURNON = 8.4V / VTURNOFF = 4.0V on VCC and VRUNON = 1.207V / VRUNOFF = 1.170V on RUN - both with user-adjustable hysteresis.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology Support | Flyback, boost, SEPIC - no internal power switch; requires external N-MOSFET and transformer/inductor. |
| Switching Frequency | 70kHz to 700kHz, set by single resistor on FS pin; synchronizable to external clock via SYNC pin. |
| Reference Accuracy | ±1.5% over –40°C to +125°C (I-grade), enabling stable 5V/2A output regulation in telecom and automotive supplies. |
| Quiescent Current | 360µA normal operation; 40µA micropower startup - critical for low-noise, high-efficiency biasing schemes. |
| VCC Shunt Regulator | 9.5V clamping (8.9V–9.9V range), sinking up to 25mA - allows direct high-VIN powering via series resistor. |
| Overcurrent Protection | Programmable OC threshold (85–115mV); automatic fault timeout (~4.5ms internal) and restart via SSFLT capacitor. |
| Soft-Start Control | Externally programmable via SSFLT capacitor; also defines fault timeout duration - enables controlled ramp-up and recovery. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead (3mm × 3mm) plastic DFN with exposed pad (Pin 11 = GND), rated for –40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SSFLT (Pin 1) | Soft-Start & Fault Timeout | Capacitor to GND sets soft-start ramp time and fault recovery delay; internal 6µA charge / 2µA discharge currents. |
| ITH (Pin 2) | Error Amplifier Output | Compensation node (0.7V–1.9V clamped); sets current comparator threshold - primary loop control point. |
| FB (Pin 3) | Feedback Input | Monitors output divider; regulates VOUT by servoing FB to 0.800V reference (±1.5% over temp). |
| RUN (Pin 4) | Enable Control | Precision UVLO input (1.170V–1.207V threshold); hysteresis set by external divider's Thevenin resistance. |
| FS (Pin 5) | Frequency Set | Resistor to GND programs fOSC = 24×10⁹/(RFS − 1500); supports 70kHz–700kHz range. |
| SYNC (Pin 6) | External Clock Input | Rising-edge triggered; overrides internal oscillator - enables multi-phase or noise-sensitive synchronization. |
| ISENSE (Pin 7) | Current Sense & Slope Comp | Measures MOSFET current; injects 10µA linear ramp for slope compensation - prevents subharmonic oscillation. |
| OC (Pin 8) | Overcurrent Detection | Secondary current sense path; trips at 85–115mV - independent of ITH, enabling robust short-circuit protection. |
| VCC (Pin 9) | Supply Input | Powered via internal 9.5V shunt regulator; bypass with ≥1µF ceramic cap adjacent to exposed GND pad. |
| GATE (Pin 10) | MOSFET Driver Output | Push-pull gate driver (30ns rise/fall into 3000pF); swings GND to VCC - drives N-channel MOSFET directly. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Adjustable Frequency Range | 70kHz–700kHz via single RFS resistor - enables EMI optimization and magnetics size reduction. |
| Programmable Slope Compensation | 10µA linear current ramp from ISENSE pin - eliminates need for external ramp generator in high-duty-cycle designs. |
| Precision RUN Pin Threshold | 1.207V turn-on / 1.170V turn-off with 5µA hysteresis current - enables clean, noise-immune enable/disable sequencing. |
| Low Quiescent Current | 40µA micropower startup - supports trickle-charge biasing from output rail without compromising efficiency. |
| Automatic Fault Recovery | SSFLT capacitor controls both soft-start and fault timeout - eliminates need for external reset circuitry. |

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 1MHz frequency; no SYNC or slope compensation; 1.5% reference but only rated to 105°C. | Lacks programmable frequency and soft-start timing control - less flexible for EMI-sensitive or thermally constrained layouts. | Choose UCC28C43DR only if fixed-frequency operation and lower cost outweigh need for thermal margin and design flexibility. |
| MAX17595ATP+ | Integrated 1.2A MOSFET driver; supports wider VIN (4.5V–60V); includes built-in soft-start timer (no SSFLT cap required). | Higher integration reduces BOM count but limits max input voltage vs. LTC3805IDD#PBF's 72V+ capability via external components. | Choose MAX17595ATP+ for compact 12V–48V systems where layout space is critical and 72V+ input is unnecessary. |
Compared with UCC28C43DR and MAX17595ATP+, the LTC3805IDD#PBF offers superior thermal range (–40°C to +125°C), full programmability (frequency, slope comp, soft-start, OC threshold), and higher input voltage scalability - making it optimal for ruggedized telecom and industrial flyback designs.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC3805IDD#PBF?
The LTC3805IDD#PBF itself has no intrinsic input voltage limit - its pins are isolated from VIN/VOUT. The practical maximum input is determined by external components: MOSFET BVDSS, transformer insulation, and input capacitor voltage rating. In typical 36V–72V applications, the LTC3805IDD#PBF is powered via its internal 9.5V shunt regulator from VIN through a series resistor.
How does the RUN pin function on the LTC3805IDD#PBF?
The RUN pin on the LTC3805IDD#PBF provides precision enable/disable control with 1.207V turn-on and 1.170V turn-off thresholds, plus 5µA hysteresis current. When used with an external resistor divider from VIN, it enables clean power sequencing - for example, delaying LTC3805IDD#PBF startup until input voltage stabilizes above 36V in telecom systems.
Can the LTC3805IDD#PBF be synchronized to an external clock?
Yes, the LTC3805IDD#PBF supports external synchronization via its SYNC pin (Pin 6). A rising edge on SYNC forces the start of a new switching cycle - i.e., GATE goes high - allowing noise-sensitive applications to align switching with system clocks or avoid specific EMI bands. The SYNC signal must be 2.9V minimum amplitude and operate between 70kHz and 700kHz.
What is the purpose of the SSFLT pin on the LTC3805IDD#PBF?
The SSFLT pin (Pin 1) on the LTC3805IDD#PBF serves dual functions: it controls soft-start timing via an external capacitor that charges at 6µA, and it defines fault timeout duration by discharging at 2µA after overcurrent events. This eliminates need for separate timers - one capacitor manages both startup ramp and automatic restart behavior in the LTC3805IDD#PBF.
Does the LTC3805IDD#PBF include integrated slope compensation?
Yes, the LTC3805IDD#PBF provides integrated slope compensation via a 10µA linear current ramp injected from the ISENSE pin (Pin 7). This ramp develops voltage across an optional external resistor, compensating for subharmonic oscillation in continuous-conduction-mode flyback designs - eliminating external ramp generators while maintaining stability at high duty cycles.
