LT3575
PIN FUNCTIONS
NC (Pins 1, 15, 16): No Connect Pins. Can be left open
or connected to any ground plane.
VIN (Pin 2): Input Voltage. This pin supplies current to
the internal start-up circuitry and as a reference voltage
for the DCM comparator and feedback circuitry. This pin
must be locally bypassed with a capacitor.
SW (Pins 3, 4): Collector Node of the Output Switch. This
pin has large currents flowing through it. Keep the traces to
the switching components as short as possible to minimize
electromagnetic radiation and voltage spikes.
BIAS (Pin 5): Bias Voltage. This pin supplies current to the
switch driver and internal circuitry of the LT3575. This pin
must be locally bypassed with a capacitor. This pin may
also be connected to VIN if a third winding is not used and if
VIN ≤ 15V. If a third winding is used, the BIAS voltage should
be lower than the input voltage for proper operation.
SHDN/UVLO (Pin 6): Shutdown/Undervoltage Lockout.
A resistor divider connected to VIN is tied to this pin to
program the minimum input voltage at which the LT3575
will operate. At a voltage below ~0.7V, the part draws no
quiescent current. When below 1.22V and above ~0.7V,
the part will draw 7μA of current, but internal circuitry will
remain off. Above 1.22V, the internal circuitry will start
and a 7μA current will be fed into the SS pin. When this
pin falls below 1.22V, 2.8μA will be pulled from the pin to
provide programmable hysteresis for UVLO.
SS (Pin 7): Soft-Start Pin. Place a soft-start capacitor
here to limit start-up inrush current and output voltage
ramp rate. Switching starts when the voltage at this pin
reaches ~0.7V.
RILIM (Pin 8): Maximum Current Limit Adjust Pin. A resistor
should be tied to this pin to ground to set the current
limit. Use a 10k resistor for the full current capabilities
of the switch.
VC (Pin 9): Compensation Pin for Internal Error Amplifier.
Connect a series RC from this pin to ground to compensate
the switching regulator. A 100pF capacitor in parallel helps
eliminate noise.
RFB (Pin 10): Input Pin for External Feedback Resistor. This
pin is connected to the transformer primary (VSW). The
ratio of this resistor to the RREF resistor, times the internal
bandgap reference, determines the output voltage (plus
the effect of any non-unity transformer turns ratio). The
average current through this resistor during the flyback
period should be approximately 200μA. For nonisolated
applications, this pin should be connected to VIN .
RREF (Pin 11): Input Pin for External Ground-Referred
Reference Resistor. This resistor should be in the range of
6k, but for convenience, need not be precisely this value.
For nonisolated applications, a traditional resistor voltage
divider may be connected to this pin.
TC (Pin 12): Output Voltage Temperature Compensation.
Connect a resistor to ground to produce a current
proportional to absolute temperature to be sourced into
the RREF node. ITC = 0.55V/RTC .
TEST (Pin 13): This pin is used for testing purposes only
and must be connected to ground for the part to operate
properly.
GND (Pin 14, Exposed Pad Pin 17): Ground. The exposed
pad of the package provides both electrical contact to
ground and good thermal contact to the printed circuit
board. The exposed pad must be soldered to the circuit
board for proper operation and should be well connected
with many vias to an internal ground plane.

LT3575
OPERATION
The LT3575 is a current mode switching regulator IC
designed specifically for the isolated flyback topology. The
special problem normally encountered in such circuits is
that information relating to the output voltage on the isolated
secondary side of the transformer must be communicated to
the primary side in order to maintain regulation. Historically,
this has been done with optoisolators or extra transformer
windings. Optoisolator circuits waste output power and
the extra components increase the cost and physical size
of the power supply. Optoisolators can also exhibit trouble
due to limited dynamic response, nonlinearity, unit-to-unit
variation and aging over life. Circuits employing extra
transformer windings also exhibit deficiencies. Using an
extra winding adds to the transformer’s physical size and
cost, and dynamic response is often mediocre.
The LT3575 derives its information about the isolated
output voltage by examining the primary side flyback
pulse waveform. In this manner, no optoisolator nor extra
transformer winding is required for regulation. The output
voltage is easily programmed with two resistors. Since this
IC operates in boundary control mode, the output voltage is
calculated from the switch pin when the secondary current
is almost zero. This method improves load regulation
without external resistors and capacitors.
The Block Diagram shows an overall view of the system.
Many of the blocks are similar to those found in traditional
switching regulators including: internal bias regulator,
oscillator, logic, current amplifier and comparator, driver,
and output switch. The novel sections include a special
flyback error amplifier and a temperature compensation
circuit. In addition, the logic system contains additional
logic for boundary mode operation, and the sampling
error amplifier.
The LT3575 features a boundary mode control method,
where the part operates at the boundary between continuous
conduction mode and discontinuous conduction mode. The
VC pin controls the current level just as it does in normal
current mode operation, but instead of turning the switch
on at the start of the oscillator period, the part detects
when the secondary side winding current is zero.
Boundary Mode Operation
Boundary mode is a variable frequency, current-mode
switching scheme. The switch turns on and the inductor
current increases until a VC pin controlled current limit. The
voltage on the SW pin rises to the output voltage divided
by the secondary-to-primary transformer turns ratio plus
the input voltage. When the secondary current through
the diode falls to zero, the SW pin voltage falls below VIN .
A discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) comparator
detects this event and turns the switch back on.
Boundary mode returns the secondary current to zero
every cycle, so the parasitic resistive voltage drops do not
cause load regulation errors. Boundary mode also allows
the use of a smaller transformer compared to continuous
conduction mode and no subharmonic oscillation.
At low output currents the LT3575 delays turning on the
switch, and thus operates in discontinuous mode. Unlike
a traditional flyback converter, the switch has to turn on
to update the output voltage information. Below 0.6V on
the VC pin, the current comparator level decreases to
its minimum value, and the internal oscillator frequency
decreases in frequency. With the decrease of the internal
oscillator, the part starts to operate in DCM. The output
current is able to decrease while still allowing a minimum
switch off-time for the error amp sampling circuitry. The
typical minimum internal oscillator frequency with VC
equal to 0V is 40kHz.

LT3575
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
ERROR AMPLIFIER—PSEUDO DC THEORY
In the Block Diagram, the RREF (R4) and RFB (R3) resistors
can be found. They are external resistors used to program
the output voltage. The LT3575 operates much the same way
as traditional current mode switchers, the major difference
being a different type of error amplifier which derives its
feedback information from the flyback pulse.
Operation is as follows: when the output switch, Q1,
turns off, its collector voltage rises above the VIN rail. The
amplitude of this flyback pulse, i.e., the difference between
it and VIN, is given as:
In combination with the previous VFLBK expression yields
an expression for VOUT, in terms of the internal reference,
programming resistors, transformer turns ratio and diode
forward voltage drop:
⎛ R ⎞⎛ 1 ⎞
VOUT = VBG ⎜ FB ⎟ ⎜
⎟ − VF − ISEC (ES R)
⎝ RREF ⎠ ⎝ α NPS ⎠
Additionally, it includes the effect of nonzero secondary
output impedance (ESR). This term can be assumed to
be zero in boundary control mode. More details will be
discussed in the next section.
VFLBK = (VOUT + VF + ISEC • ESR) • NPS
Temperature Compensation
VF = D1 forward voltage
The first term in the VOUT equation does not have a temperature dependence, but the diode forward drop has a
significant negative temperature coefficient. To compensate for this, a positive temperature coefficient current
source is connected to the RREF pin. The current is set by
a resistor to ground connected to the TC pin. To cancel the
temperature coefficient, the following equation is used:
ISEC = Transformer secondary current
ESR = Total impedance of secondary circuit
NPS = Transformer effective primary-to-secondary
turns ratio
The flyback voltage is then converted to a current by
the action of RFB and Q2. Nearly all of this current flows
through resistor RREF to form a ground-referred voltage.
This voltage is fed into the flyback error amplifier. The
flyback error amplifier samples this output voltage
information when the secondary side winding current is
zero. The error amplifier uses a bandgap voltage, 1.23V,
as the reference voltage.
The relatively high gain in the overall loop will then cause
the voltage at the RREF resistor to be nearly equal to the
bandgap reference voltage VBG . The relationship between
VFLBK and VBG may then be expressed as:
⎛V
⎞ V
α ⎜ FLBK ⎟ = BG
⎝ RFB ⎠ RREF

or,
⎛ R ⎞ ⎛ 1⎞

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
ERROR AMPLIFIER—DYNAMIC THEORY
Selecting RFB and RREF Resistor Values
Due to the sampling nature of the feedback loop, there
are several timing signals and other constraints that are
required for proper LT3575 operation.
The expression for VOUT, developed in the Operation section,
can be rearranged to yield the following expression for RFB:
Minimum Current Limit
The LT3575 obtains output voltage information from the
SW pin when the secondary winding conducts current.
The sampling circuitry needs a minimum amount of time
to sample the output voltage. To guarantee enough time,
a minimum inductance value must be maintained. The
primary side magnetizing inductance must be chosen
above the following value:
L PRI ≥ VOUT •
⎛ 0 . 88µH ⎞
t MIN
• NPS = VOUT • NPS • ⎜
⎟
IMIN
⎝ V ⎠
tMIN = minimum off-time, 350ns
IMIN = minimum current limit, 400mA
The minimum current limit is higher than that on the Electrical Characteristics table due to the overshoot caused by
the comparator delay.
Leakage Inductance Blanking
When the output switch first turns off, the flyback pulse
appears. However, it takes a finite time until the transformer
primary side voltage waveform approximately represents
the output voltage. This is partly due to the rise time on
the SW node, but more importantly due to the transformer leakage inductance. The latter causes a very fast
voltage spike on the primary side of the transformer that
is not directly related to output voltage (some time is also
required for internal settling of the feedback amplifier
circuitry). The leakage inductance spike is largest when
the power switch current is highest.
In order to maintain immunity to these phenomena, a fixed
delay is introduced between the switch turn-off command
and the beginning of the sampling. The blanking is internally
set to 150ns. In certain cases, the leakage inductance may
not be settled by the end of the blanking period, but will
not significantly affect output regulation.
RFB =
RREF • NPS ⎡⎣( VOUT + VF ) α + VTC ⎤⎦
VBG
where,
VOUT = Output voltage
VF = Switching diode forward voltage
α = Ratio of Q1, IC to IE, typically 0.986
NPS = Effective primary-to-secondary turns ratio
VTC = 0.55V
The equation assumes the temperature coefficients of
the diode and VTC are equal, which is a good first-order
approximation.
Strictly speaking, the above equation defines RFB not as
an absolute value, but as a ratio of RREF. So, the next
question is, “What is the proper value for RREF?” The
answer is that RREF should be approximately 6.04k. The
LT3575 is trimmed and specified using this value of RREF.
If the impedance of RREF varies considerably from 6.04k,
additional errors will result. However, a variation in RREF of
several percent is acceptable. This yields a bit of freedom
in selecting standard 1% resistor values to yield nominal
RFB /RREF ratios. The RFB resistor given by this equation
should also be verified experimentally, and adjusted if
necessary for best output accuracy.
Tables 1-4 are useful for selecting the resistor values for
RREF and RFB with no equations. The tables provide RFB ,
RREF and RTC values for common output voltages and
common winding ratios.

predict output power. In addition, the winding ratio can
be changed to multiply the output current at the expense
of a higher switch voltage.
The graphs in Figures 1-3 show the maximum output
power possible for the output voltages 3.3V, 5V, and 12V.
The maximum power output curve is the calculated output
power if the switch voltage is 50V during the off-time. To
achieve this power level at a given input, a winding ratio
value must be calculated to stress the switch to 50V,
resulting in some odd ratio values. The curves below are
examples of common winding ratio values and the amount
of output power at given input voltages.

One design example would be a 5V output converter with
a minimum input voltage of 20V and a maximum input

example perfectly and outputs close to ten watts at 30V
but lowers to eight watts at 20V.

TRANSFORMER DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
A flyback converter has a complicated relationship between
the input and output current compared to a buck or a
boost. A boost has a relatively constant maximum input
current regardless of input voltage and a buck has a
relatively constant maximum output current regardless of
input voltage. This is due to the continuous nonswitching
behavior of the two currents. A flyback converter has both
discontinuous input and output currents which makes it
similar to a nonisolated buck-boost. The duty cycle will
affect the input and output currents, making it hard to

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Turns Ratio
Note that when using an RFB /RREF resistor ratio to set
output voltage, the user has relative freedom in selecting
a transformer turns ratio to suit a given application.In
contrast, simpler ratios of small integers, e.g., 1:1, 2:1,
3:2, etc., can be employed to provide more freedom in
setting total turns and mutual inductance.
Typically, the transformer turns ratio is chosen to maximize
available output power. For low output voltages (3.3V or 5V),
a N:1 turns ratio can be used with multiple primary windings
relative to the secondary to maximize the transformer’s
current gain (and output power). However, remember that
the SW pin sees a voltage that is equal to the maximum
input supply voltage plus the output voltage multiplied by
the turns ratio. This quantity needs to remain below the
ABS MAX rating of the SW pin to prevent breakdown of
the internal power switch. Together these conditions place
an upper limit on the turns ratio, N, for a given application.
Choose a turns ratio low enough to ensure:
N<
50 V – VIN(MAX )
VOUT + VF
For larger N:1 values, a transformer with a larger physical
size is needed to deliver additional current and provide a
large enough inductance value to ensure that the off-time is
long enough to accurately measure the output voltage.
For lower output power levels, a 1:1 or 1:N transformer can
be chosen for the absolute smallest transformer size. A 1:
N transformer will minimize the magnetizing inductance
(and minimize size), but will also limit the available output
power. A higher 1:N turns ratio makes it possible to have
very high output voltages without exceeding the breakdown
voltage of the internal power switch.
be required to avoid overvoltage breakdown at the output
switch node. Transformer leakage inductance should be
minimized.
An RCD (resistor capacitor diode) clamp, shown in
Figure 4, is required for most designs to prevent the
leakage inductance spike from exceeding the breakdown
voltage of the power device. The flyback waveform is
depicted in Figure 5. In most applications, there will be a
very fast voltage spike caused by a slow clamp diode that
may not exceed 60V. Once the diode clamps, the leakage
inductance current is absorbed by the clamp capacitor.
This period should not last longer than 150ns so as not to
interfere with the output regulation, and the voltage during
this clamp period must not exceed 55V. The clamp diode
turns off after the leakage inductance energy is absorbed
and the switch voltage is then equal to:
VSW(MAX) = VIN(MAX) + N(VOUT + VF)
This voltage must not exceed 50V. This same equation
also determines the maximum turns ratio.
When choosing the snubber network diode, careful
attention must be paid to maximum voltage seen by the
SW pin. Schottky diodes are typically the best choice to
be used in the snubber, but some PN diodes can be used
if they turn on fast enough to limit the leakage inductance
spike. The leakage spike must always be kept below 60V.
Figures 6 and 7 show the SW pin waveform for a 24VIN ,
5VOUT application at a 1A load current. Notice that the
leakage spike is very high (more than 65V) with the “bad”
diode, while the “good” diode effectively limits the spike
to less than 55V.
Leakage Inductance
An alternative to RC network is a Zener diode clamping.
The Zener diode must be able to handle the voltage rating
and power dissipating during the switch turn-off time.
Application Note 19 has more details on Zener diode
snubber design for flyback converters.
Transformer leakage inductance (on either the primary or
secondary) causes a voltage spike to appear at the primary
after the output switch turns off. This spike is increasingly
prominent at higher load currents where more stored energy
must be dissipated. In most cases, a snubber circuit will
For applications with SW voltage exceeding 50V,
Zener diode clamp must be considered. At higher operating
primary current, the leakage inductance spike can
potentially exceed the breakdown voltage of the internal
power switch.

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Secondary Leakage Inductance
In addition to the previously described effects of leakage
inductance in general, leakage inductance on the secondary
in particular exhibits an additional phenomenon. It forms
an inductive divider on the transformer secondary that
effectively reduces the size of the primary-referred
flyback pulse used for feedback. This will increase the
output voltage target by a similar percentage. Note that
unlike leakage spike behavior, this phenomenon is load
independent. To the extent that the secondary leakage
inductance is a constant percentage of mutual inductance
(over manufacturing variations), this can be accommodated
by adjusting the RFB /RREF resistor ratio.
The Switch Current Limit vs RILIM plot in the Typical
Performance Characteristics section depicts a more
accurate current limit.
Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)
The SHDN/UVLO pin is connected to a resistive voltage
divider connected to VIN as shown in Figure 8. The voltage
threshold on the SHDN/UVLO pin for VIN rising is 1.22V.
To introduce hysteresis, the LT3575 draws 2.8μA from the
SHDN/UVLO pin when the pin is below 1.22V. The hysteresis
is therefore user-adjustable and depends on the value of
R1. The UVLO threshold for VIN rising is:
VIN(UVLO,RISING) =
Winding Resistance Effects
Resistance in either the primary or secondary will reduce
overall efficiency (POUT / PIN). Good output voltage
regulation will be maintained independent of winding
resistance due to the boundary mode operation of the
LT3575.
Bifilar Winding
A bifilar, or similar winding technique, is a good way to
minimize troublesome leakage inductances. However,
remember that this will also increase primary-to-secondary
capacitance and limit the primary-to-secondary breakdown
voltage, so, bifilar winding is not always practical. The
Linear Technology applications group is available and
extremely qualified to assist in the selection and/or design
of the transformer.

The UVLO threshold for VIN falling is:

To implement external run/stop control, connect a small
NMOS to the UVLO pin, as shown in Figure 8. Turning the
NMOS on grounds the UVLO pin and prevents the LT3575
from operating, and the part will draw less than a 1μA of
quiescent current.

Setting the Current Limit Resistor
The maximum current limit can be set by placing a resistor
between the RILIM pin and ground. This provides some
flexibility in picking standard off-the-shelf transformers that
may be rated for less current than the LT3575’s internal
power switch current limit. If the maximum current limit
is needed, use a 10k resistor. For lower current limits, the
following equation sets the approximate current limit:

LT3575
APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
Minimum Load Requirement
The LT3575 obtains output voltage information through
the transformer while the secondary winding is conducting
current. During this time, the output voltage (multiplied
times the turns ratio) is presented to the primary side of
the transformer. The LT3575 uses this reflected signal to
regulate the output voltage. This means that the LT3575
must turn on every so often to sample the output voltage,
which delivers a small amount of energy to the output.
This sampling places a minimum load requirement on the
output of 1% to 2% of the maximum load.
A Zener diode with a Zener breakdown of 20% higher
than the output voltage can serve as a minimum load if
pre-loading is not acceptable. For a 5V output, use a 6V
Zener with cathode connected to the output.
BIAS Pin Considerations
For applications with an input voltage less than 15V, the
BIAS pin is typically connected directly to the VIN pin. For
input voltages greater than 15V, it is preferred to leave the
BIAS pin separate from the VIN pin. In this condition, the
BIAS pin is regulated with an internal LDO to a voltage of
3V. By keeping the BIAS pin separate from the input voltage
at high input voltages, the physical size of the capacitors
can be minimized (the BIAS pin can then use a 6.3V or
10V rated capacitor).
schematics in the Typical Applications section for other
possible values). If too large of an RC value is used, the part
will be more susceptible to high frequency noise and jitter. If
too small of an RC value is used, the transient performance
will suffer. The value choice for CC is somewhat the inverse
of the RC choice: if too small a CC value is used, the loop
may be unstable, and if too large a CC value is used, the
transient performance will also suffer. Transient response
plays an important role for any DC/DC converter.
Design Example
The following example illustrates the converter design
process using LT3575.
Given the input voltage of 20V to 28V, the required output
is 5V, 1A.
VIN(MIN) = 20V, VIN(MAX) = 28V, VOUT = 5V, VF = 0.5V
and IOUT = 1A
1. Select the transformer turns ratio to accommodate
the output.
The output voltage is reflected to the primary side by a
factor of turns ratio N. The switch voltage stress VSW is
expressed as:
N=
NP
NS
VSW(MAX ) = VIN + N( VOUT + VF ) < 50 V
Overdriving the BIAS Pin with a Third Winding
The LT3575 provides excellent output voltage regulation
without the need for an optocoupler, or third winding, but
for some applications with higher input voltages (>20V),
it may be desirable to add an additional winding (often
called a third winding) to improve the system efficiency.
For proper operation of the LT3575, if a winding is used as
a supply for the BIAS pin, ensure that the BIAS pin voltage
is at least 3.15V and always less than the input voltage.
For a typical 24VIN application, overdriving the BIAS pin
will improve the efficiency gain 4-5%.
Loop Compensation
Or rearranged to:

50 − VIN(MAX )

BIAS winding turns ratio is selected to program the BIAS
voltage to 3V~5V. The BIAS voltage shall not exceed the
input voltage.
The turns ratio is then selected as primary: secondary:
BIAS = 3:1:1.
2. Select the transformer primary inductance for target
switching frequency.
The LT3575 requires a minimum amount of time to sample
the output voltage during the off-time. This off-time,
tOFF(MIN), shall be greater than 350ns over all operating
conditions. The converter also has a minimum current limit,
IMIN, of 400mA to help create this off-time. This defines
the minimum required inductance as defined as:
L MIN =
N( VOUT + VF )
• t OFF(MIN)
IMIN
The transformer primary inductance also affects the
switching frequency which is related to the output ripple. If
above the minimum inductance, the transformer’s primary
inductance may be selected for a target switching frequency
range in order to minimize the output ripple.
The following equation estimates the switching frequency.

Note: The switching frequency is calculated at maximum output.
In this design example, the minimum primary inductance is
used to achieve a nominal switching frequency of 200kHz at
full load. The 750311458 from Würth Elektronik is chosen
as the flyback transformer.
Given the turns ratio and primary inductance, a customized transformer can be designed by magnetic component
manufacturer or a multi-winding transformer such as a
Coiltronics Versa-Pac may be used.
3. Select the output diodes and output capacitor.

the output voltage and reflection of input voltage to the
secondary side. The average diode current is the load
current.

4. Select the snubber circuit to clamp the switch
voltage spike.
A flyback converter generates a voltage spike during switch
turn-off due to the leakage inductance of the transformer.
In order to clamp the voltage spike below the maximum
rating of the switch, a snubber circuit is used. There are
many types of snubber circuits, for example R-C, R-C-D and

A typical switch node waveform is shown in Figure 10.
A small capacitor in parallel with RREF filters out the
noise during the voltage spike, however, the capacitor
should limit to 10pF. A large capacitor causes distortion
on voltage sensing.
During switch turn-off, the energy stored in the leakage
inductance is transferred to the snubber capacitor, and
eventually dissipated in the snubber resistor.
