LT1681 Dual Transistor Synchronous Forward Controller UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ High Voltage: Operation Up to 72V The LT®1681 controller simplifies the design of high power ■ Synchronizable Operating Frequency and Output synchronous dual transistor forward DC/DC converters. The Switch Phase for Multiple Controller Systems part employs fixed frequency current mode control and ■ Fixed Frequency Operation to 350kHz supports both isolated and nonisolated topologies. The IC ■ Adaptive and Adjustable Blanking drives external N-channel power MOSFETs and operates with ■ Synchronous Rectifier Driver input voltages up to 72V. ■ Local 1% Voltage Reference The LT1681’s operating frequency is programmable and can ■ Undervoltage Lockout Protection with Hysteresis be synchronized up to 350kHz. Switch phase is also con- ■ Input Overvoltage Protection trolled during synchronized operation to accommodate mul- ■ Programmable Start Inhibit tiple converter systems. Internal logic guarantees 50% maxi- ■ Transformer Primary Saturation Protection mum duty cycle operation to prevent transformer saturation. ■ Optocoupler Feedback Support ■ The LT1681 incorporates a soft-start feature that provides a Soft-Start Control U controlled increase in supplied current during start-up and APPLICATIO S after an undervoltage lockout or overvoltage/overcurrent event. ■ Isolated Telecommunication Systems ■ The part is available in a 20-lead wide SO package to support Personal Computers and Peripherals ■ high voltage pin-to-pin clearance.
