Product details
Overview
LTC3805IMSE#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 up to 72V. It delivers ±1.5% output voltage accuracy, programmable switching frequency from 70kHz to 700kHz via a single resistor, and operates with only 360µA quiescent current. It enables nonisolated 36V–72V to 5V/2A telecom power supplies.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3805IMSE#PBF datasheet, LTC3805IMSE#PBF pinout, LTC3805IMSE#PBF application, or LTC3805IMSE#PBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its adjustable slope compensation, RUN pin with precision undervoltage lockout (1.207V turn-on), 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 LTC3805IMSE#PBF implements peak-current-mode control with a dedicated ITH compensation node, integrated 10µA linear current ramp for slope compensation on ISENSE, and dual-threshold RUN pin (1.207V ON / 1.170V OFF) with 5µA hysteresis current. Its oscillator supports both resistor-programmed operation (RFS) and external synchronization via SYNC pin.
It features fault management through SSFLT pin-used jointly for soft-start timing (charged by 6µA) and fault timeout (discharged by 2µA)-and overcurrent detection via OC pin with 100mV threshold (adjustable with external resistor). The GATE driver delivers fast rise/fall times (30ns into 3000pF) and swings rail-to-rail between GND and VCC.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Topology Support | Flyback, boost, SEPIC - no internal power switch; requires external N-MOSFET. |
| Switching Frequency Range | 70kHz to 700kHz - set by single RFS resistor; synchronizable to external clock. |
| Output Voltage Accuracy | ±1.5% - specified over –40°C to 125°C junction temperature for I-grade. |
| Quiescent Current | 360µA normal operation; 40µA micropower startup - enables low-noise, high-efficiency standby modes. |
| VCC Shunt Regulator | 9.5V clamp (8.9–9.9V range at 25mA) - allows direct high-VIN biasing without external LDO. |
| Overcurrent Threshold | 100mV (typical) on OC pin - adjustable with series resistor; triggers automatic restart after fault timeout. |
| Soft-Start Control | Programmable via capacitor on SSFLT - sets both startup ramp time and post-fault recovery delay. |
Pinout & Package
Package: 10-lead plastic MSOP (MSE), 3mm × 3mm footprint, exposed pad (Pin 11) connected to GND for thermal and electrical performance. Rated for –40°C to +125°C operating junction temperature.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| SSFLT (1) | Soft-Start / Fault Timeout | Capacitor-connected node controlling startup ramp rate and post-fault holdoff time; charged at 6µA, discharged at 2µA. |
| ITH (2) | Error Amplifier Output / Compensation Node | Clamped 0.7V–1.9V; sets current comparator threshold; connects to RC network for loop stability. |
| FB (3) | Feedback Input | Monitors resistive divider output; regulates to 0.800V reference (I-grade); ±1.5% accuracy over full temp range. |
| RUN (4) | Enable Control with UVLO | External resistor divider sets precise enable (1.207V) and disable (1.170V) thresholds; adds hysteresis via 5µA current source. |
| FS (5) | Frequency Set | Resistor-to-GND sets oscillator frequency per fOSC = 24×10⁹/(RFS − 1500). |
| SYNC (6) | External Clock Input | Accepts rising-edge-triggered external clock (2.9V min amplitude); overrides internal oscillator. |
| ISENSE (7) | Current Sense & Slope Compensation Source | Measures MOSFET source current; injects 10µA linear ramp for duty-cycle-dependent slope compensation. |
| OC (8) | Overcurrent Detection | Compares sensed current against adjustable threshold; trips shutdown if >100mV (typical). |
| VCC (9) | Supply Input | Bypassed with ≥1µF ceramic cap; internally clamped to ~9.5V; accepts 9V or less low-impedance supply or high-VIN via resistor. |
| GATE (10) | MOSFET Gate Driver Output | Drives N-channel MOSFET gate; rail-to-rail swing (GND to VCC); 30ns rise/fall into 3000pF load. |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |

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 ramp; 1.5% FB reference; 2.5mA quiescent current. | Higher-frequency, lower-power designs where EMI filtering is prioritized over efficiency at light loads. | Choose UCC28C43DR when fixed frequency simplifies EMI compliance and board space is constrained - but expect higher no-load losses. |
| MAX17595ATP+ | Integrated high-side MOSFET driver; 4.5–60V input range; 0.8V FB reference; 1.25mA quiescent current. | Medium-power industrial supplies requiring integrated gate drive and wider VIN range than LTC3805IMSE#PBF supports directly. | Choose MAX17595ATP+ when combining controller and gate driver reduces BOM count - but verify external MOSFET compatibility is unnecessary. |
Compared with UCC28C43DR and MAX17595ATP+, the LTC3805IMSE#PBF offers uniquely programmable frequency, ultra-low quiescent current, and dedicated slope compensation - making it optimal for high-efficiency, thermally sensitive, or EMI-tuned flyback designs where external MOSFET selection is preferred.

FAQ
What is the operating temperature range for the LTC3805IMSE#PBF?
The LTC3805IMSE#PBF is rated for –40°C to +125°C junction temperature. This I-grade specification ensures guaranteed performance across automotive under-hood and industrial ambient conditions. Its 10-lead MSOP package includes an exposed pad thermally tied to GND, enabling effective heat dissipation when properly soldered to a PCB ground plane.
How does the LTC3805IMSE#PBF achieve ±1.5% output voltage accuracy?
The LTC3805IMSE#PBF achieves ±1.5% output voltage accuracy through a precision 0.800V internal reference (VFB) with low drift over temperature (±0.8mV from –40°C to 125°C), combined with high-impedance FB input (<20nA leakage) and tightly controlled error amplifier transconductance (333µA/V). This accuracy is maintained across the full I-grade temperature range without external calibration.
Can the LTC3805IMSE#PBF be powered directly from a 48V input?
Yes - the LTC3805IMSE#PBF can be powered directly from 48V using its internal 9.5V shunt regulator. Connect a current-limiting resistor from VIN to VCC, sized to keep shunt current ≤25mA (e.g., ≥1.9kΩ for 48V). The regulator clamps VCC to ~9.5V, protecting internal circuitry while enabling high-VIN biasing without external regulators.
What is the function of the SSFLT pin on the LTC3805IMSE#PBF?
The SSFLT pin on the LTC3805IMSE#PBF serves dual functions: (1) soft-start timing - charged by 6µA current to control output voltage ramp rate during startup; (2) fault timeout - discharged by 2µA current after overcurrent events to define automatic restart delay. A single external capacitor sets both intervals, simplifying fault-recovery design.
Does the LTC3805IMSE#PBF support synchronization to an external clock?
Yes - the LTC3805IMSE#PBF supports external clock synchronization via the SYNC pin. A rising edge on SYNC forces the beginning of a new switching cycle (GATE high), allowing precise timing alignment with system clocks or other converters. The external clock frequency must be between 70kHz and 700kHz and have ≥2.9V amplitude for reliable triggering.
