Product Details
The LTC3803-5 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. Ground referenced 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.
