- Wide Input Voltage Supply Range: 9V and Up
- Linear Regulator Controller for Fast Start-Up
- Precision UVLO with Adjustable Hysteresis
- Overcurrent Protection
- Volt-Second Limit Prevents Transformer Core Saturation
- Voltage Feedforward for Fast Transient Response
- Available in 10-Lead MSOP Package
The LTC3725 is a controller for a single-switch forward converter and includes an on-chip gate driver.
For secondary-side control, combine the LTC3725 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 LTC3725 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
- Internet Servers and Routers
- Distributed Power Step-Down Converters
- Automotive and Heavy Equipment
