The LTC®3803-5 is a constant frequency current mode
flyback controller optimized for driving N-channel MOSFETs
in high input voltage applications. The LTC3803-5 operates
from inputs as low as 5V. Constant frequency operation
is maintained down to very light loads, resulting in less
low frequency noise generation over a wide range of load
currents. Slope compensation can be programmed with
an external resistor.

The LTC3803-5 provides ±1.5% output voltage accuracy
and consumes only 240μA of quiescent current. Groundreferenced current sensing allows LTC3803-5-based converters to accept input supplies beyond the LTC3803-5’s
absolute maximum VCC. For simplicity, the LTC3803-5 can
be powered from a high VIN through a resistor, due to its
internal shunt regulator. An internal undervoltage lockout
shuts down the IC when the input voltage is too low to
provide sufficient gate drive to the external MOSFET.
The LTC3803-5 is available in a low profile (1mm) 6-lead
SOT-23 (ThinSOT™) package.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The LTC3803-5 is tested under pulsed load conditions such
that TJ ≈ TA. The LTC3803E-5 is guaranteed to meet specifications
from 0°C to 85°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C
to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LTC3803I-5 is guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range, the LTC3803H-5 is guaranteed over the –40°C to
150°C operating junction temperature range and the LTC3803MP-5 is
tested and guaranteed over the full –55°C to 150°C operating junction
temperature range. Note that the maximum ambient temperature
consistent with these specifications is determined by specific operating
conditions in conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal
impedance and other environmental factors.
Junction temperature (TJ) is calculated from the ambient temperature TA
and the power dissipation PD in the LTC3803-5 using the formula:
TJ = TA + (PD • 230°C/W)
Note 3: High junction temperatures degrade operating lifetimes; operating
lifetime is derated for junction temperatures greater than 125°C.
Note 4: Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5: The LTC3803-5 is tested in a feedback loop that servos VFB to the
output of the error amplifier while maintaining ITH/RUN at the midpoint of
the current limit range.
Note 6: Peak current sense voltage is reduced dependent on duty cycle
and an optional external resistor in series with the SENSE pin (RSL). For
details, refer to the programmable slope compensation feature in the
Applications Information section.
Note 7: Guaranteed by design.

LTC3803-5
PIN FUNCTIONS
ITH/RUN (Pin 1): This pin performs two functions. It
serves as the error amplifier compensation point as well
as the run/shutdown control input. Nominal voltage range
is 0.7V to 1.9V. Forcing this pin below the shutdown
threshold (VITHSHDN) causes the LTC3803-5 to shut down.
In shutdown mode, the NGATE pin is held low.
SENSE (Pin 4): This pin performs two functions. It monitors
switch current by reading the voltage across an external
current sense resistor to ground. It also injects a current
ramp that develops slope compensation voltage across
an optional external programming resistor.
GND (Pin 2): Ground Pin.
VCC (Pin 5): Supply Pin. Must be closely decoupled to
GND (Pin 2).
VFB (Pin 3): Receives the feedback voltage from an external
resistive divider across the output.
NGATE (Pin 6): Gate Drive for the External N-channel
MOSFET. This pin swings from 0V to VCC.

LTC3803-5
OPERATION
The LTC3803-5 is a constant frequency current mode
controller for flyback, SEPIC and DC/DC boost converter
applications in a tiny ThinSOT package. The LTC3803-5 is
designed so that none of its pins need to come in contact
with the input or output voltages of the power supply circuit
of which it is a part, allowing the conversion of voltages well
beyond the LTC3803-5’s absolute maximum ratings.
Main Control Loop
Due to space limitations, the basics of current mode DC/DC
conversion will not be discussed here; instead, the reader
is referred to the detailed treatment in Application Note
19, or in texts such as Abraham Pressman’s Switching
Power Supply Design.
Please refer to the Block Diagram and the Typical Application on the front page of this data sheet. An external
resistive voltage divider presents a fraction of the output
voltage to the VFB pin. The divider must be designed so
that when the output is at the desired voltage, the VFB pin
voltage will equal the 800mV from the internal reference.
If the load current increases, the output voltage will decrease slightly, causing the VFB pin voltage to fall below
800mV. The error amplifier responds by feeding current
into the ITH/RUN pin. If the load current decreases, the
VFB voltage will rise above 800mV and the error amplifier
will sink current away from the ITH/RUN pin.
The voltage at the ITH/RUN pin commands the pulse-width
modulator formed by the oscillator, current comparator
and RS latch. Specifically, the voltage at the ITH/RUN pin
sets the current comparator’s trip threshold. The current
comparator monitors the voltage across a current sense
resistor in series with the source terminal of the external
MOSFET. The LTC3803-5 turns on the external power
MOSFET when the internal free-running 200kHz oscillator
sets the RS latch. It turns off the MOSFET when the current comparator resets the latch or when 80% duty cycle
is reached, whichever happens first. In this way, the peak
current levels through the flyback transformer’s primary
and secondary are controlled by the ITH/RUN voltage.
Since the ITH/RUN voltage is increased by the error amplifier whenever the output voltage is below nominal, and
decreased whenever output voltage exceeds nominal, the
voltage regulation loop is closed. For example, whenever
the load current increases, output voltage will decrease
slightly, and sensing this, the error amplifier raises the
ITH/RUN voltage by sourcing current into the ITH/RUN pin,
raising the current comparator threshold, thus increasing
the peak currents through the transformer primary and
secondary. This delivers more current to the load, bringing
the output voltage back up.
The ITH/RUN pin serves as the compensation point for
the control loop. Typically, an external series RC network
is connected from ITH/RUN to ground and is chosen for
optimal response to load and line transients. The impedance
of this RC network converts the output current of the error
amplifier to the ITH/RUN voltage which sets the current
comparator threshold and commands considerable influence over the dynamics of the voltage regulation loop.
Start-Up/Shutdown
The LTC3803-5 has two shutdown mechanisms to disable
and enable operation: an undervoltage lockout on the VCC
supply pin voltage, and a forced shutdown whenever external circuitry drives the ITH/RUN pin low. The LTC3803-5
transitions into and out of shutdown according to the state
diagram (Figure 1).

LTC3803-5
OPERATION
The undervoltage lockout (UVLO) mechanism prevents
the LTC3803-5 from trying to drive a MOSFET with insufficient VGS. The voltage at the VCC pin must exceed
VTURNON (nominally 4.8V) at least momentarily to enable
LTC3803-5 operation. The VCC voltage is then allowed to
fall to VTURNOFF (nominally 4V) before undervoltage lockout
disables the LTC3803-5.
The ITH/RUN pin can be driven below VITHSHDN (nominally
0.28V) to force the LTC3803-5 into shutdown. An internal
0.3μA current source always tries to pull this pin towards
VCC. When the ITH/RUN pin voltage is allowed to exceed
VITHSHDN, and VCC exceeds VTURNON, the LTC3803-5
begins to operate and an internal clamp immediately
pulls the ITH/RUN pin up to about 0.7V. In operation, the
ITH/RUN pin voltage will vary from roughly 0.7V to 1.9V
to represent current comparator thresholds from zero
to maximum.
Internal Soft-Start
An internal soft-start feature is enabled whenever the
LTC3803-5 comes out of shutdown. Specifically, the ITH/
RUN voltage is clamped and is prevented from reaching
maximum until roughly 0.7ms has passed. This allows
the input and output currents of LTC3803-5-based power
supplies to rise in a smooth and controlled manner on
start-up.
Powering the LTC3803-5
In the simplest case, the LTC3803-5 can be powered from
a high voltage supply through a resistor. A built-in shunt
regulator from the VCC pin to GND will draw as much
current as needed through this resistor to regulate the
VCC voltage to around 8.1V as long as the VCC pin is not
forced to sink more than 25mA. This shunt regulator is
always active, even when the LTC3803-5 is in shutdown,
since it serves the vital function of protecting the VCC pin
from seeing too much voltage.
The VCC pin must be bypassed to ground immediately adjacent to the IC pins with a ceramic or tantalum capacitor.
Proper supply bypassing is necessary to supply the high
transient currents required by the MOSFET gate driver.
10μF is a good starting point.
Adjustable Slope Compensation
The LTC3803-5 injects a 5μA peak current ramp out through
its SENSE pin which can be used for slope compensation in
designs that require it. This current ramp is approximately
linear and begins at zero current at 6.5% duty cycle, reaching peak current at 80% duty cycle. Additional details are
provided in the Applications Information section.

LTC3803-5
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Many LTC3803-5 application circuits can be derived from
the topology shown in Figure 2.
The LTC3803-5 itself imposes no limits on allowed power
output, input voltage VIN or desired regulated output voltage
VOUT; these are all determined by the ratings on the external
power components. The key factors are: Q1’s maximum
drain-source voltage (BVDSS), on-resistance (RDS(ON))
and maximum drain current, T1’s saturation flux level and
winding insulation breakdown voltages, CIN and COUT’s
maximum working voltage, ESR, and maximum ripple
current ratings, and D1 and RSENSE’s power ratings.

SELECTING FEEDBACK RESISTOR DIVIDER VALUES
The regulated output voltage is determined by the resistor
divider across VOUT (R1 and R2 in Figure 2). The ratio
of R2 to R1 needed to produce a desired VOUT can be
calculated:
R2 =
VOUT – 0.8V
• R1
0.8V
Transformer specification and design is perhaps the most
critical part of applying the LTC3803-5 successfully. In
addition to the usual list of caveats dealing with high frequency power transformer design, the following should
prove useful.
Turns Ratios
COUT
•
CVCC
TRANSFORMER DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
VOUT
•
RVCC
Choose resistance values for R1 and R2 to be as large as
possible in order to minimize any efficiency loss due to
the static current drawn from VOUT, but just small enough
so that when VOUT is in regulation, the error caused by
the nonzero input current to the VFB pin is less than 1%.
A good rule of thumb is to choose R1 to be 80k or less.
Due to the use of the external feedback resistor divider
ratio to set output voltage, the user has relative freedom
in selecting transformer turns ratio to suit a given application. Simple ratios of small integers, e.g., 1:1, 2:1, 3:2,
etc. can be employed which yield more freedom in setting
total turns and mutual inductance. Simple integer turns
ratios also facilitate the use of “off-the-shelf” configurable transformers such as the Coiltronics VERSA-PAC™
series in applications with high input to output voltage
ratios. For example, if a 6-winding VERSA-PAC is used
with three windings in series on the primary and three
windings in parallel on the secondary, a 3:1 turns ratio
will be achieved.
Turns ratio can be chosen on the basis of desired duty
cycle. However, remember that the input supply voltage
plus the secondary-to-primary referred version of the
flyback pulse (including leakage spike) must not exceed
the allowed external MOSFET breakdown rating.
38035fd

LTC3803-5
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Leakage Inductance
Transformer leakage inductance (on either the primary
or secondary) causes a voltage spike to occur after the
output switch (Q1) turn-off. This is increasingly prominent
at higher load currents, where more stored energy must
be dissipated. In some cases a “snubber” circuit will be
required to avoid overvoltage breakdown at the MOSFET’s
drain node. Application Note 19 is a good reference on
snubber design.
A bifilar or similar winding technique is a good way to
minimize troublesome leakage inductances. However,
remember that this will limit the primary-to-secondary
breakdown voltage, so bifilar winding is not always
practical.
CURRENT SENSE RESISTOR CONSIDERATIONS
The external current sense resistor (RSENSE in Figure 2)
allows the user to optimize the current limit behavior for
the particular application. As the current sense resistor
is varied from several ohms down to tens of milliohms,
peak switch current goes from a fraction of an ampere to
several amperes. Care must be taken to ensure proper
circuit operation, especially with small current sense
resistor values.
For example, a peak switch current of 5A requires a sense
resistor of 0.020Ω. Note that the instantaneous peak power
in the sense resistor is 0.5W and it must be rated accordingly. The LTC3803-5 has only a single sense line to this
resistor. Therefore, any parasitic resistance in the ground
side connection of the sense resistor will increase its apparent value. In the case of a 0.020Ω sense resistor, one
milliohm of parasitic resistance will cause a 5% reduction
in peak switch current. So the resistance of printed circuit
copper traces and vias cannot necessarily be ignored.
PROGRAMMABLE SLOPE COMPENSATION
The LTC3803-5 injects a ramping current through its SENSE
pin into an external slope compensation resistor (RSL in
Figure 2). This current ramp starts at zero right after the
NGATE pin has been high for the LTC3803-5’s minimum
duty cycle of 6.5%. The current rises linearly towards a
peak of 5μA at the maximum duty cycle of 80%, shutting
off once the NGATE pin goes low. A series resistor (RSL)
connecting the SENSE pin to the current sense resistor
(RSENSE) thus develops a ramping voltage drop. From
the perspective of the SENSE pin, this ramping voltage
adds to the voltage across the sense resistor, effectively
reducing the current comparator threshold in proportion

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
to duty cycle. This stabilizes the control loop against
subharmonic oscillation. The amount of reduction in the
current comparator threshold (ΔVSENSE) can be calculated
using the following equation:
ΔVSENSE =
Duty Cycle – 6.5%
• 5μA • RSL
73.5%
Note: LTC3803-5 enforces 6.5% < Duty Cycle < 80%.
A good starting value for RSL is 5.9k, which gives a 30mV
drop in current comparator threshold at 80% duty cycle.
Designs not needing slope compensation may replace
RSL with a short circuit.
GND to drop enough voltage across RVCC to regulate
VCC to around 8.1V. For applications where VIN is low
enough such that the static power dissipation in RVCC is
acceptable, using the VCC shunt regulator is the simplest
way to power the LTC3803-5.
EXTERNAL PREREGULATOR
The circuit in Figure 4 shows another way to power the
LTC3803-5. An external series preregulator consisting
of series pass transistor Q1, Zener diode D1, and bias
resistor RB brings VCC above the VCC turn-on threshold,
enabling the LTC3803-5.

VCC SHUNT REGULATOR
An internal shunt regulator allows the LTC3803-5 to be
powered through a single dropping resistor from VIN to
VCC, in conjunction with a bypass capacitor, CVCC, that
closely decouples VCC to GND (see Figure 3). The shunt
regulator can draw up to 25mA through the VCC pin to
