DESCRIPTION
The LTC
廬
3803 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 provides
鹵1.5%
output voltage accuracy
and consumes only 240碌A(chǔ) of quiescent current. Ground-
referenced current sensing allows LTC3803-based con-
verters to accept input supplies beyond the LTC3803鈥檚
absolute maximum V
CC
. A micropower hysteretic start-up
feature allows efficient operation at high input voltages.
For simplicity, the LTC3803 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 when the input voltage falls below 4.6V,
guaranteeing at least 4.6V of gate drive to the external
MOSFET.
The LTC3803 is available in a low profile (1mm) 6-lead
SOT-23 (ThinSOT
TM
) package.
