The LM5000-3MTC is a high-voltage Switch Mode Regulator designed and optimized for flyback, boost or forward power converter applications. The internal power switch is rated for a maximum of 80V, with a current limit set to 2A. Protecting the power switch are current limit and thermal shutdown circuits. The current-mode control scheme provides excellent rejection of line transients and cycle-by-cycle current limiting. An external compensation pin and the built-in slope compensation allow the user to optimize the frequency compensation. Other distinctive features include soft-start to reduce stresses during start-up and an external shutdown pin for remote ON/OFF control.
