7 / 16 page LTC3803-5 7 38035fd OPERATION The LTC3803-5 is a constant frequency current mode controller for flyback, SEPIC and DC/DC boost converter applications in a tiny ThinSOT package. The LTC3803-5 is designed so that none of its pins need to come in contact with the input or output voltages of the power supply circuit of which it is a part, allowing the conversion of voltages well beyond the LTC3803-5’s absolute maximum ratings. Main Control Loop Due to space limitations, the basics of current mode DC/DC conversion will not be discussed here; instead, the reader is referred to the detailed treatment in Application Note 19, or in texts such as Abraham Pressman’s Switching Power Supply Design. Please refer to the Block Diagram and the Typical Ap- plication on the front page of this data sheet. An external resistive voltage divider presents a fraction of the output voltage to the VFB pin. The divider must be designed so that when the output is at the desired voltage, the VFB pin voltage will equal the 800mV from the internal reference. If the load current increases, the output voltage will de- crease slightly, causing the VFB pin voltage to fall below 800mV. The error amplifier responds by feeding current into the ITH/RUN pin. If the load current decreases, the VFB voltage will rise above 800mV and the error amplifier will sink current away from the ITH/RUN pin. The voltage at the ITH/RUN pin commands the pulse-width modulator formed by the oscillator, current comparator and RS latch. Specifically, the voltage at the ITH/RUN pin sets the current comparator’s trip threshold. The current comparator monitors the voltage across a current sense resistor in series with the source terminal of the external MOSFET. The LTC3803-5 turns on the external power MOSFET when the internal free-running 200kHz oscillator sets the RS latch. It turns off the MOSFET when the cur- rent comparator resets the latch or when 80% duty cycle is reached, whichever happens first. In this way, the peak current levels through the flyback transformer’s primary and secondary are controlled by the ITH/RUN voltage. Since the ITH/RUN voltage is increased by the error ampli- fier whenever the output voltage is below nominal, and decreased whenever output voltage exceeds nominal, the voltage regulation loop is closed. For example, whenever the load current increases, output voltage will decrease slightly, and sensing this, the error amplifier raises the ITH/RUN voltage by sourcing current into the ITH/RUN pin, raising the current comparator threshold, thus increasing the peak currents through the transformer primary and secondary. This delivers more current to the load, bringing the output voltage back up. The ITH/RUN pin serves as the compensation point for the control loop. Typically, an external series RC network is connected from ITH/RUN to ground and is chosen for optimal response to load and line transients. The impedance of this RC network converts the output current of the error amplifier to the ITH/RUN voltage which sets the current comparator threshold and commands considerable influ- ence over the dynamics of the voltage regulation loop. Start-Up/Shutdown The LTC3803-5 has two shutdown mechanisms to disable and enable operation: an undervoltage lockout on the VCC supply pin voltage, and a forced shutdown whenever ex- ternal circuitry drives the ITH/RUN pin low. The LTC3803-5 transitions into and out of shutdown according to the state diagram (Figure 1). Figure 1.
