The LTC
®
3806 is a current mode synchronous flyback
controller that drives N-channel power MOSFETs and
requires very few external components. It is intended for
medium power applications where multiple outputs are
required. Synchronous rectification provides higher effi-
ciency and improved output cross regulation than
nonsynchronous converters.
The IC contains all the necessary control circuitry includ-
ing a 250kHz oscillator, precision undervoltage lockout
circuit with hysteresis, gate drivers for primary and syn-
chronous switches, current mode control circuitry and
soft-start circuitry.
Programmable soft-start reduces inrush currents. This
makes it easier to design compliant Power Over Ethernet
supplies.
Low start-up current reduces power dissipation in the
start-up resistor and reduces the size of the external start-
up capacitor.
The LTC3806 is available in a 12-pin, exposed pad DFN
package.

Maximum Current Sense Input Threshold
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 LTC3806E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the – 40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
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
• 34°C/W)
Note 4:
The minimum operating voltage is allowed once operation begins.
To begin operation, V
IN
must be above the rising undervoltage lockout
threshold with V
RUN
above the rising RUN input threshold.
Note 5:
The dynamic input supply current is higher due to power MOSFET
gate charging (Q
G
• f
OSC
). See Applications Information.
Note 6:
The LTC3806 is tested in a feedback loop which servos V
FB
to the
reference voltage with the I
TH
pin forced to a voltage between 0V and 1.4V
(the no load to full load operating voltage range for the I
TH
pin is 0.3V to
1.23V).
