OPERATION (Refer to Functional Diagram)
Main Control Loop
Light Load Operation (Burst Mode Operation,
Continuous Conduction or Pulse-Skipping Mode)
(SYNC/MODE Pin)
The LTC3809 uses a constant frequency, current mode
architecture. During normal operation, the top external
P-channel power MOSFET is turned on when the clock
sets the RS latch, and is turned off when the current
comparator (ICMP) resets the latch. The peak inductor
current at which ICMP resets the RS latch is determined
by the voltage on the I pin, which is driven by the output
of the error amplifier (EAMP). The V pin receives the
output voltage feedback signal from an external resistor
divider. This feedback signal is compared to the internal
0.6V reference voltage by the EAMP. When the load cur-

select Burst Mode operation, tie the SYNC/MODE pin
to V . To select forced continuous operation, tie the

IN
SYNC/MODE pin to a DC voltage below 0.4V (e.g., GND).
FB
Tying the SYNC/MODE to a DC voltage above 0.4V and
below 1.2V (e.g., V ) enables pulse-skipping mode. The
FB
0.4V threshold between forced continuous operation and
pulse-skipping mode can be used in secondary winding

Information section.
rent increases, it causes a slight decrease in V relative
to the 0.6V reference, which in turn causes the I voltage

to increase until the average inductor current matches the
new load current. While the top P-channel MOSFET is off,
the bottom N-channel MOSFET is turned on until either
the inductor current starts to reverse, as indicated by the
current reversal comparator IRCMP, or the beginning of
the next cycle.
When the LTC3809 is in Burst Mode operation, the peak
current in the inductor is set to approximately one-fourth

The LTC3809 is shut down by pulling the RUN pin low.
In shutdown, all controller functions are disabled and the
chip draws only 9μA. The TG output is held high (off) and
the BG output low (off) in shutdown. Releasing the RUN
pin allows an internal 0.7μA current source to pull up the
drops below 0.85V, the internal SLEEP signal goes high
and the external MOSFET is turned off.
In sleep mode, much of the internal circuitry is turned off,
reducing the quiescent current that the LTC3809 draws.
The load current is supplied by the output capacitor. As
the output voltage decreases, the EAMP increases the

from 0V to 0.6V in about 1ms. This allows the output
voltage to rise smoothly from 0V to its final value while

Auxiliary Winding Control Using SYNC/MODE Pin
Figure 7. Auxilliary Output Loop Connection
The SYNC/MODE pin can be used as an auxiliary feedback
to provide a means of regulating a flyback winding output.
When this pin drops below its ground-referenced 0.4V
threshold, continuous mode operation is forced.
