LTC3765 Active Clamp Forward Controller and Gate Driver FEATURESDESCRIPTION n Supports Self-Starting Secondary-Side Control The LTC®3765 is a start-up controller and gate driver for n Direct Flux Limit™ Guarantees No Saturation use in a self-starting secondary-side control forward con- n Active Clamp Drive with Delay Adjustment verter. When combined with the LTC3766 secondary-side n On-Chip Bridge Rectifier Eliminates Need for synchronous forward control er, a complete isolated power Separate Gate Drive Bias Supply supply is created using a minimum of discrete parts. A n Wide Input Supply Range: 8V and Up (Limited Only proprietary scheme is used to multiplex gate drive signals by External Components) and bias power across the isolation barrier through a n Linear Regulator Controller for Fast Start-Up small pulse transformer. The LTC3765 contains an on- n High Speed Gate Drivers chip bridge rectifier that extracts gate drive bias power n Precision UVLO with Adjustable Hysteresis from this pulse transformer, eliminating the need for a n Overcurrent Protection separate bias supply. A precision undervoltage lockout n Overtemperature Protection circuit and linear regulator controller ensure a quick and n Adjustable Start-Up Frequency and Soft-Start well-controlled start-up. n Tiny 16-Lead MSOP Package The LTC3765 includes an active clamp output for driving an external PMOS, as well as an adjustable delay to optimize APPLICATIONS efficiency. The active clamp architecture reduces voltage stress on the main power switch, and provides the highest n Isolated Battery Chargers possible efficiency. Overcurrent protection and the Direct n Isolated 48V Telecommunication Systems Flux Limit guarantee no transformer saturation without n Servers and Embedded Computing compromising transient response. n Automotive and Heavy Equipment L, LT, LTC, LTM, PolyPhase, Linear Technology and the Linear logo are registered trademarks and Direct Flux Limit is a trademark of Linear Technology Corporation.
