The LTC3705 is a controller for a 2-switch forward converter and includes on-chip bottom and top gate drivers that do not require external transformers. For secondary-side control, combine the LTC3705 with the LTC3706 PolyPhase® secondary-side synchronous forward controller to create a complete forward converter using a minimum of discrete parts. A proprietary scheme is used to multiplex gate drive signals across the isolation barrier through a tiny pulse transformer. The on-chip rectifier and the same pulse transformer provide gate drive bias power.

Alternatively, the LTC3705 can be used as a standalone voltage mode controller in a primary-side control architecture with optoisolator feedback. Voltage feedforward provides excellent line regulation and transient response.

Applications

  • Isolated 48V Telecommunication Systems

Product Detail

Demonstration circuit 776 is a 36V-72VIN, 2-switch forward converter with synchronous secondary-side control featuring the LTC3705 and LTC3706. This circuit was designed specifically to attain a high stepdown ratio power supply in one stage in order to efficiently power 1.5V loads from a typical telecom input voltage range. Isolation voltage is 1500VDC. This circuit features secondary-side control of the supply without the need of an optocoupler.
