DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
1103 Offline Switching Regulator is designed for
high input voltage applications using an external FET
switch whose source is driven by the open collector output
of the LT1103. The LT1103 is optimized for 15W to 100W
applications. For higher power applications or additional
switch current flexibility, the LT1105 is available and its
totem pole output drives the gate of an external FET.
Unique design of the LT1103/LT1105 eliminates the need
for an optocoupler while still providing
±1%
load and line
regulation in a magnetic flux-sensed converter. This sig-
nificantly simplifies the design of offline power supplies
and reduces the number of components which must cross
the isolation barrier to one, the transformer.
The LT1103/LT1105 current mode switching techniques
are well suited to transformer isolated flyback and forward
topologies while providing ease of frequency compensa-
tion with a minimum of external components. Low exter-
nal part count for a typical application combines with a

LT1103/LT1105
DESCRIPTION
200kHz maximum switching frequency to achieve high
power density. Performance at switching frequencies
above 100kHz may be degraded due to internal timing
constraints associated with fully isolated flyback mode.
Included are the oscillator, control, and protection cir-
cuitry such as current limit and overvoltage lockout.
Switch frequency and maximum duty cycle are adjustable.
Bootstrap circuitry draws 200µA for start-up of isolated
topologies. A 5V reference as well as a 15V gate bias are
available to power external primary-side circuitry. No
external current sense resistor is necessary with LT1103
because it is integrated with the high current switch. The
LT1105 brings out the input to the current limit amplifier
and requires the use of an external sense resistor.
The LT1103/LT1105 have unique features not found on
other offline switching regulators. Adaptive antisat switch
drive allows wide ranging load currents while maintaining
high efficiency. The external FET is protected from insuf-
ficient or excessive gate drive voltage with a drive detec-
tion circuit. An externally activated shutdown mode
reduces total supply current to less than 200µA, typical for
standby operation. Fully isolated and regulated outputs
can be generated in the optional isolated flyback mode
without the need for optocouplers or other isolated feed-
back paths.
WAR I G!
DANGEROUS AND LETHAL POTENTIALS ARE
PRESENT IN OFFLINE CIRCUITS!
BEFORE PROCEEDING ANY FURTHER, THE
READER IS WARNED THAT CAUTION MUST
BE USED IN THE CONSTRUCTION, TESTING
AND USE OF OFFLINE CIRCUITS. HIGH
VOLTAGE, AC LINE-CONNECTED POTENTIALS
ARE PRESENT IN THESE CIRCUITS. EXTREME
CAUTION MUST BE USED IN WORKING WITH
AND MAKING CONNECTIONS TO THESE
CIRCUITS. REPEAT: OFFLINE CIRCUITS
CONTAIN DANGEROUS, AC LINE-CONNECTED
HIGH VOLTAGE POTENTIALS. USE CAUTION.
ALL TESTING PERFORMED ON AN OFFLINE
CIRCUIT MUST BE DONE WITH AN ISOLATION
TRANSFORMER CONNECTED BETWEEN THE
OFFLINE CIRCUIT'S INPUT AND THE AC LINE.
USERS AND CONSTRUCTORS OF OFFLINE
CIRCUITS MUST OBSERVE THIS PRECAUTION
WHEN CONNECTING TEST EQUIPMENT TO
THE CIRCUIT TO AVOID ELECTRIC SHOCK.
REPEAT: AN ISOLATION TRANSFORMER
MUST BE CONNECTED BETWEEN THE CIRCUIT
INPUT AND THE AC LINE IF ANY TEST
EQUIPMENT IS TO BE CONNECTED.

The
q
denotes specifications which apply over the full operating
temperature range.
Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The OVLO pin is clamped with a 5.5V Zener and can sink a
maximum input current of 1mA.
Note 3:
FB input bias current changes as a function of the V
C
pin voltage.
Rate of change of FB input bias current is 11µA/V of change on V
C
. By
including a resistor in series with the FB pin, load regulation can be set
to zero.
Note 4:
Current limit on V
SW
is constant for DC < 35% and decreases for
DC > 35% due to internal slope compensation circuity. The LT1103 switch
current limit is given by I
LIM
= 1.76 (1.536 – DC) above 35% duty cycle.
Note 5:
The current limit threshold voltage is constant for DC < 35% and
decreases for DC > 35% due to internal slope compensation circuitry. The
LT1105 switch current limit threshold voltage is given by V
LIM
= 0.225
(1.7 – DC) above 35% duty cycle.
