The LTC
®
3803-3 is a constant frequency current mode
flyback controller optimized for driving 6V-rated 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 9.4V shunt
regulator. An internal undervoltage lockout shuts down
the LTC3803-3 when the input voltage falls below 4.4V,
guaranteeing at least 4.4V of gate drive to the external
MOSFET.
The LTC3803-3 is available in a low profile (1mm) 6-lead
SOT-23 (ThinSOT
TM
) 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 LTC3803E-3 is guaranteed to meet specifications from 0°C to
85°C. Specifications over the – 40°C to 85°C operating temperature range
are assured by design, characterization and correlation with statistical
process controls. The LTC3803I-3 is guaranteed to meet performance
specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating temperature range.
Note 3:
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 maintaing 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
Applications Information section.
Note 7:
Guaranteed by design.
