TYPICAL APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
Constant Frequency
Current Mode Flyback
DC/DC Controller in ThinSOT
The LTC
®
3803 is a constant frequency current mode fl yback
controller optimized for driving 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 provides ±1.5% output voltage accuracy and
consumes only 240µA of quiescent current. Ground-refer-
enced current sensing allows LTC3803-based converters
to accept input supplies beyond the LTC3803’s absolute
maximum V
CC
. A micropower hysteretic start-up feature
allows effi cient operation at high input voltages. For sim-
plicity, the LTC3803 can also be powered from a high V
IN
through a resistor, due to its internal shunt regulator. An
internal undervoltage lockout shuts down the LTC3803
when the input voltage is too low to provide suffi cient
gate drive to the external MOSFET.
The LTC3803 is available in a low profi le (1mm) 6-lead
SOT-23 (ThinSOT™) package.
