Connect a resistor from this pin to the transformer primary OPERATION The LT3001 is a current mode switching regulator IC The LT3001 samples the isolated output voltage through designed specially for the isolated flyback topology. The the primary-side flyback pulse waveform. In this man- key problem in isolated topologies is how to commu- ner, neither opto-isolator nor extra transformer winding nicate the output voltage information from the isolated is required for regulation. Since the LT3001 operates secondary side of the transformer to the primary side in either boundary conduction mode or discontinuous for regulation. Historically, opto-isolators or extra trans- conduction mode, the output voltage is always sampled former windings communicate this information across on the SW pin when the secondary current is zero. This the isolation boundary. Opto-isolator circuits waste output method improves load regulation without the need of power, and the extra components increase the cost and external load compensation components. physical size of the power supply. Opto-isolators can also cause system issues due to limited dynamic response, nonlinearity, unit-to-unit variation and aging over life- time. Circuits employing extra transformer windings also exhibit deficiencies, as using an extra winding adds to the transformer’s physical size and cost, and dynamic response is often mediocre.
