flyback controller optimized for driving N-channel MOSFETs
in high input voltage applications. 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 LTC3803-3 provides ±1.5% output voltage accuracy
and consumes only 240μA of quiescent current. Ground-
referenced current sensing allows LTC3803-3-based con-
verters to accept input supplies beyond the LTC3803-3’s
absolute maximum V
CC
. A micropower hysteretic start-up
feature allows efficient operation at high input voltages. For
simplicity, the LTC3803-3 can also be powered from a high
V
IN
through a resistor, due to its internal shunt regulator. An
internal undervoltage lockout shuts down the LTC3803-3
when the input voltage is too low to provide sufficient gate
drive to the external MOSFET.
The LTC3803-3 is available in a low profile (1mm) 6-lead
SOT-23 (ThinSOT™) package.

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 LTC3803-3 is tested under pulsed load conditions such
that T
J
≈ T
A
. The LTC3803E-3 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-3 is guaranteed over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range, the LTC3803H-3 is guaranteed over the –40°C to
150°C operating junction temperature range and the LTC3803MP-3 is
tested and guaranteed over the full –55°C to 150°C operating junction
temperature range. High junction temperatures degrade operating
lifetimes; operating lifetime is derated for junction temperatures greater
than 125°C. 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.
Note 3:
Junction temperature T
J
is calculated from the ambient
temperature T
A
and power dissipation P
D
according to the following
formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 230°C/W).
Note 4:
Dynamic supply current is higher due to the gate charge being
delivered at the switching frequency.
Note 5:
The LTC3803-3 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
FB
to the
output of the error amplifier while maintaining I
TH
/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 (R
SL
). For
details, refer to the programmable slope compensation feature in the
Microchip MCU
