Product details
Overview
SEA05LTR from STMicroelectronics is a constant voltage and constant current controller IC with integrated LED pilot-lamp driver, designed for secondary-side feedback in AC-DC adapters, battery chargers, and SMPS. It features dual op-amp control loops (±0.5% voltage accuracy, ±4% current accuracy), 50 mV current sense threshold, 2.5 V internal reference, and 250 µA quiescent current.
For engineers reviewing the SEA05LTR datasheet, SEA05LTR pinout, SEA05LTR application, or SEA05LTR equivalent, this device serves as a space-constrained, low-standby-power solution for dual-loop regulation with integrated LED drive via pulsed open-drain output at 1 kHz / 12.5% duty cycle.
Technical Context
The SEA05LTR integrates two transconductance op-amps with OR-ed open-drain outputs - one for voltage regulation (inverting input at Vctrl, 2.5 V reference) and one for current regulation (inverting input at Isense, 50 mV threshold). Both loops share the OUT pin to enable priority-based error signaling.
The LD pin implements a dedicated 1 kHz square-wave oscillator driving an internal MOSFET with 12.5% duty cycle, enabling peak-current-driven LED pilot-lamp operation while reducing average power consumption. UVLO activation occurs at ~3 V on VCC, and the LD stage remains high-impedance below that threshold.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| VCC Range | 3.5 V to 36 V - supports wide-input offline and battery-fed SMPS without external LDO |
| IQ | 250 µA typ. - enables ultra-low standby power in energy-efficient adapters |
| Voltage Ref | 2.5 V ±0.48% - trimmed bandgap reference enabling precise CV setpoint definition |
| Current Sense Threshold | 50 mV ±2 mV - sets CC limit with minimal sensing resistor power loss (e.g., 50 mΩ @ 1 A) |
| LD Drive Frequency | 1 kHz ±0.4 kHz - eliminates visible LED flicker while maintaining low average current |
| OUT Sink Current | 20 mA max - sufficient to directly drive optocoupler photodiode branches |
| LD Peak Sink Current | 10 mA - delivers full LED brightness during 125 µs ON time per cycle |
Pinout & Package
SOT23-6L plastic package (2.90 mm × 2.80 mm), ECOPACK® compliant, with exposed pad not connected internally.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|
| 1 - Isense | Inverting input of current-loop op-amp | Connects to high-side of sense resistor; triggers CC regulation when voltage exceeds 50 mV |
| 2 - GND | Device ground reference | 0 V return for bias currents; must be tied near converter output ground to avoid load-induced CV error |
| 3 - Vctrl | Inverting input of voltage-loop op-amp | Connects to resistor divider midpoint; regulates output voltage to 2.5 V × (1 + R1/R2) |
| 4 - LD | Pulsed open-drain LED driver output | Internally switches at 1 kHz / 12.5% duty cycle; sinks up to 10 mA peak for efficient pilot-lamp drive |
| 5 - OUT | OR-ed open-drain output of both op-amps | Drives optocoupler photodiode; activates when either CV or CC loop detects over-regulation |
| 6 - VCC | Supply input | Accepts 3.5–36 V; requires local 0.1 µF bypass capacitor; enables LD only above ~3 V UVLO |
Key Features
| Feature | Design Value |
|---|---|
| Dual independent control loops | Separate voltage and current op-amps with shared OUT enable fail-safe regulation - if either loop trips, feedback is asserted |
| Integrated LED pilot-lamp driver | LD pin delivers 1 kHz pulsed current (12.5% duty cycle) to reduce average LED power by >87% vs. DC drive |
| Low-quiescent-current design | 250 µA ICC enables compliance with <300 mW no-load power standards in Class VI adapters |
| High-precision internal reference | 2.5 V bandgap trimmed to ±0.48% at 25°C ensures stable CV/CC setpoints across temperature and line |
| Open-drain output architecture | OUT and LD pins support flexible interfacing with optocouplers and external pull-ups without level-shifting |

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar constant voltage and constant current controller applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| UCC28711DR | Single-loop (CV-only) flyback controller with integrated HV start-up; no native CC loop or LED driver | Requires external current-sense circuit and discrete LED driver; higher component count | Select when primary-side regulation suffices and secondary-side integration is not required |
| TSM1052 | CV/CC controller with 100 mV current sense threshold and no integrated LED driver; SOT23-5 package | Lacks pulsed LD output - needs external transistor/MOSFET for LED drive; lower current accuracy (±8%) | Select when LED drive is handled separately and cost sensitivity outweighs standby power optimization |
Compared with UCC28711DR and TSM1052, SEA05LTR uniquely integrates dual-loop regulation, precision 50 mV current sensing, and a dedicated 1 kHz pulsed LED driver in SOT23-6L - delivering lowest BOM count and best standby power performance for space-constrained adapter and charger designs.

FAQ
What is the purpose of the LD pin and how is it driven?
The LD pin is a dedicated open-drain output that drives an external LED pilot lamp using a built-in 1 kHz square-wave oscillator with 12.5% duty cycle. It sinks up to 10 mA peak current and activates only when VCC exceeds ~3 V. This pulsed operation reduces average LED power consumption by over 87% compared to DC drive while eliminating visible flicker.
How does the SEA05LTR implement dual-loop CV/CC regulation?
It uses two independent transconductance op-amps: one monitors output voltage via Vctrl (with 2.5 V reference) and the other monitors output current via Isense (with 50 mV threshold). Their open-drain outputs are wired-OR'd to the OUT pin, so either loop can assert feedback to the optocoupler - ensuring immediate response to overvoltage or overcurrent events.
Can the SEA05LTR operate with output voltages below 5 V?
Yes - the VCC supply range (3.5 V to 36 V) is independent of output voltage. The IC operates from auxiliary winding or bias supply, not the main output. For low-VOUT designs (e.g., 3.3 V), ensure the auxiliary winding provides ≥3.5 V to VCC and that the resistor divider on Vctrl is scaled to maintain 2.5 V at the pin under regulation.
What compensation components are required for stable operation?
Both control loops require external RC networks: one between Vctrl and OUT for voltage-loop compensation, and another between Isense and OUT for current-loop compensation. ST recommends starting with 10 kΩ + 1 nF for each, then adjusting based on measured phase margin. Full compensation guidelines are provided in Section 2.2 of Doc ID 18462 Rev 1.
