100V Isolated Flyback DC/DC Controller Operates up to 150°C
MILPITAS, CA – November 3, 2010 – Linear Technology Corporation announces the
LT3748H, a high input voltage isolated flyback DC/DC controller with guaranteed operation for
junction temperatures as high as 150°C. This device significantly simplifies the design of an
isolated DC/DC converter since there is no requirement for an opto-isolator, third winding or
signal transformer for feedback, as the output voltage is sensed from the primary-side flyback
signal. The LT3748 operates over a 5V to 100V input voltage range and drives an external
N-channel power MOSFET, making it well suited for a wide variety of automotive, industrial,
telecom and datacom applications.
The LT3748 operates in a boundary mode, current-mode control switching scheme,
resulting in +/-5% typical regulation over the full line, load and temperature range. Boundary
mode also permits the use of a smaller transformer compared to equivalent continuous
conduction mode designs. The output voltage is easily set by two external resistors and the
transformer turns ratio. Several off-the-shelf transformers identified in the data sheet can be used
for numerous applications. The high level of integration and the use of boundary mode operation
results in a simple, clean application solution to the traditional challenge of isolated power
delivery.
Additional features include an onboard low drop regulator for IC power, programmable
soft start, undervoltage lockout, adjustable current limit and output voltage temperature
compensation.
The LT3748H is available in a small MSOP-16 package with 4 pins removed for
additional high voltage pin spacing. The 1,000 piece price starts at $3.71 each. For more
