Tiny 16-Lead MSOP Package The LTC®3765 is a start-up controller and gate driver for
use in a self-starting secondary-side control forward converter. When combined with the LTC3766 secondary-side
synchronous forward controller, a complete isolated power
supply is created using a minimum of discrete parts. A
proprietary scheme is used to multiplex gate drive signals
and bias power across the isolation barrier through a
small pulse transformer. The LTC3765 contains an onchip bridge rectifier that extracts gate drive bias power …
