Product details
Overview
LTC3805IMSE#TRPBF from Analog Devices (formerly Linear Technology) is a current-mode DC/DC controller IC designed specifically for flyback, boost, and SEPIC converters, driving external N-channel MOSFETs in high-input-voltage applications up to 72V. It delivers ±1.5% output voltage accuracy, programmable 70–700kHz switching frequency via a single resistor, and operates with only 360µA quiescent current. Used in telecom power supplies and 42V automotive systems, it supports nonisolated flyback topologies such as 36V–72V input to 5V/2A outputs.
For engineers reviewing the LTC3805IMSE#TRPBF datasheet, LTC3805IMSE#TRPBF pinout, LTC3805IMSE#TRPBF application, or LTC3805IMSE#TRPBF equivalent, key selection considerations include its adjustable slope compensation, micropower startup (40µA), RUN pin with precision hysteresis, soft-start programmability via SSFLT capacitor, and compatibility with high-VIN bias schemes using the internal 9.5V shunt regulator.
Technical Context
The LTC3805IMSE#TRPBF implements peak current-mode control with an integrated error amplifier, programmable oscillator, and dual-function ISENSE pin that provides both current sensing and slope compensation ramp injection (10µA). Its control loop uses the ITH pin as the compensation node, where external RC networks shape transient response for line and load regulation.
It features two independent shutdown mechanisms: VCC undervoltage lockout (turn-on at 8.4V, turn-off at 4.0V) and a precision RUN pin (1.207V turn-on, 1.170V turn-off with 5µA hysteresis current). Fault protection includes overcurrent detection on the OC pin (100mV threshold, adjustable), automatic restart after fault timeout, and duty-cycle limiting (6–95%) to prevent subharmonic oscillation.

FAQ
What is the maximum input voltage supported by the LTC3805IMSE#TRPBF?
The LTC3805IMSE#TRPBF itself has no intrinsic VIN limit - its pins are isolated from input/output voltages. The practical maximum input is determined by external components: the MOSFET's BVDSS rating, transformer insulation, and output capacitor voltage rating. In published applications, the LTC3805IMSE#TRPBF controls converters with 36V–72V inputs, and can support higher voltages with appropriately rated external parts.
How does the LTC3805IMSE#TRPBF achieve micropower startup at 40µA?
The LTC3805IMSE#TRPBF achieves 40µA micropower startup by entering a low-power state when VRUN < VRUNON or VCC < VTURNON – 100mV. In this mode, internal circuitry is minimized while retaining RUN and VCC monitoring. Once thresholds are met, full operation resumes. This behavior is confirmed in the Electrical Characteristics table (ICC = 40µA under micropower conditions) and enables reliable startup from high-impedance bias sources.
Can the LTC3805IMSE#TRPBF be synchronized to an external clock, and what are the requirements?
Yes, the LTC3805IMSE#TRPBF supports synchronization via its SYNC pin. The external clock must have a frequency between 70kHz and 700kHz - matching the device's programmable oscillator range. A rising edge on SYNC triggers the start of each switching cycle (GATE high), and pulse width is flexible. This feature is documented in the Electrical Characteristics table (fSYNC specification) and Block Diagram, enabling EMI reduction and deterministic timing alignment.
What is the function of the ISENSE pin on the LTC3805IMSE#TRPBF beyond current sensing?
In addition to monitoring MOSFET current via an external sense resistor, the ISENSE pin on the LTC3805IMSE#TRPBF injects a 10µA linear current ramp used for slope compensation. This ramp begins at 6% duty cycle and peaks at 80%, counteracting subharmonic oscillation in continuous conduction mode. This dual functionality is explicitly described in the Pin Functions section and Applications Information, and is critical for stable operation at high duty cycles.
Does the LTC3805IMSE#TRPBF require an external VCC supply, or can it be powered directly from high input voltage?
The LTC3805IMSE#TRPBF can be powered directly from high input voltage (e.g., 36–72V) using its internal 9.5V shunt regulator - no external VCC supply is required. A series resistor from VIN to VCC limits current into the shunt, which sinks up to 25mA. This architecture is detailed in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, Applications Information (Figure 2), and Powering section, enabling simplified biasing in high-VIN applications.
