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 LT3512E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°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
LT3512I is guaranteed to meet performance specifications from –40°C to
125°C operating junction temperature range. The LT3512H is guaranteed
to meet performance specifications from –40°C to 150°C operating
junction temperature range. The LT3511MP is guaranteed over the full
–55°C to 150°C operating junction range. High junction temperatures
degrade operating lifetimes. Operating lifetime is derated at junction
temperatures greater than 125°C.
Note 3:
Current flows out of the R
REF
pin.
Note 4:
The SW pin is rated to 150V for transients. Operating waveforms
of the SW pin should keep the pedestal of the flyback waveform below
100V as shown in Figure 5.

LT3512
pin FuncTions
EN/UVLO (Pin 1):
Enable/Undervoltage Lockout. The EN/
UVLO pin is used to start up the LT3512. Pull the pin to 0V
to shut down the LT3512. This pin has an accurate 1.21V
threshold and can be used to program an undervoltage
lockout (UVLO) threshold using a resistor divider from
supply to ground. A 2.6μA pin current hysteresis allows
the programming of undervoltage lockout (UVLO) hys-
teresis. EN/UVLO can be directly connected to V
IN
. If left
open circuit the part will not power up.
V
IN
(Pin 3):
Input Supply Pin. This pin supplies current to
the internal start-up circuitry, and serves as a reference
voltage for the DCM comparator and feedback circuitry.
Must be locally bypassed with a capacitor.
GND (Pin 5, 8, 9):
Ground Pins. All three pins should be
tied directly to the local ground plane.
BIAS (Pin 6):
Bias Voltage. This pin supplies current to
the switch driver and internal circuitry of the LT3512.
This pin may also be connected to V
IN
if a third winding
is not used and if V
IN
< 20V. The part can operate down
to 4.5V when BIAS and V
IN
are connected together. If a
third winding is used, the BIAS voltage should be lower
than the input voltage and greater than 3.3V for proper
operation. BIAS must be bypassed with a 4.7µF capacitor
placed close to the pin.
VC (Pin 10):
Compensation Pin for Internal Error Amplifier.
Connect a series RC from this pin to ground to compensate
the switching regulator. An additional 100pF capacitor from
this pin to ground helps eliminate noise.
T
C
(Pin 11):
Output Voltage Temperature Compensa-
tion. Connect a resistor to ground to produce a current
proportional to absolute temperature to be sourced into
the R
REF
node.
I
TC
= 0.55V/R
TC
.
R
REF
(Pin 12):
Input Pin for External Ground-Referred
Reference Resistor. The resistor at this pin should be 10k.
For nonisolated applications, a traditional resistor voltage
divider from V
OUT
may be connected to this pin.
R
FB
(Pin 14):
Input Pin for External Feedback Resistor.
This pin is connected to the transformer primary (V
SW
).
The ratio of this resistor to the R
REF
resistor, times the
internal bandgap reference, determines the output volt-
age (plus the effect of any non-unity transformer turns
ratio). For nonisolated applications, this pin should be
connected to V
IN
.
SW (Pin 16):
Switch Pin. Collector of the internal power
switch. Minimize trace area at this pin to minimize EMI
