36V-72VIN, FORWARD CONVERTER
LT3825
DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 894A-A is a 36V-72Vin, synchronous flyback converter featuring the LT3825.
This circuit was designed specifically to attain a high
current, low ripple, synchronously rectified flyback to
efficiently power 3.3V loads at up to 12A from a typical telecom input voltage range. This circuit features
synchronous rectifier drive outputs, output voltage
regulation without the need of an optocoupler, selfstarting architecture and input undervoltage lockout.
Design files for this circuit board are available.

OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The LT3825 controller exhibits a self-starting capability. When an input voltage is applied, a trickle charge
resistor, R8, charges C10 (See Figure 12) to power
Vcc. Then, the IC begins a controlled soft-start of the
output voltage. As this voltage begins to rise, Vcc
power is quickly taken over by T1, D2, and R7. When
the soft-start period is over, the LT3825 then regulates output voltage by observing the pulses across
the auxiliary winding of T1 during the flyback time.
The Primary Gate drive (PG) and Synchronous Gate
drive (SG) is then Pulse Width Modulated (PWM) in
order to keep the output voltage constant. The synchronous gate drive signal is transmitted to the secondary via the small signal transformer, T2. The output of T2 then drives a discreet gate drive buffer, R26,
Q12, and Q13 in order to achieve fast gate transition
times, hence a higher efficiency.
The two-stage input filter, C25, L1, and C30 and output filter, C1, C2, C5, L2, and C29 are the reasons that
this flyback has exceptionally low conducted emissions.

QUICK START PROCEDURE
Demonstration circuit 894A-A is easy to set up to
evaluate the performance of the LT3825. Refer to
Figure 1 for proper measurement equipment setup
and follow the procedure below:
NOTE: When
measuring the input or output voltage
ripple, care must be taken to avoid a long ground lead
on the oscilloscope probe. Measure the output (or
input) voltage ripple by touching the probe tip and
probe ground directly across the +Vout and –Vout (or
+VIN and –VIN) terminals. See Figure 2 for proper
scope probe technique.
1.
Set an input power supply that is capable of 36V to
72V at a current of at least 2A to a voltage of 36V.
Then, turn off the supply.
2.
With power off, connect the supply to the input
terminals +VIN and –VIN.
a.
Input voltages lower than 36V can keep the converter from turning on due to the undervoltage
lockout feature of the LT3825.
b.
If efficiency measurements are desired, an ammeter capable of measuring 2Adc can be put in
series with the input supply in order to measure
the DC894A-A’s input current.
c.
A voltmeter with a capability of measuring at
least 72V can be placed across the input terminals in order to get an accurate input voltage
measurement.
3.
Turn on the power at the input.
NOTE: Make
sure that the input voltage never ex-
ceeds 72V.
4.
Check for the proper output voltage of 3.3V Turn
off the power at the input.
5.
Once the proper output voltages are established,
connect a variable load capable of sinking 12A at
3.3V to the output terminals +Vout and –Vout. Set
the current for 0A.
6.
a.
If efficiency measurements are desired, an ammeter or a resistor current shunt that is capable
of handling at least 12Adc can be put in series
with the output load in order to measure the
DC894A-A’s output current.
b.
A voltmeter with a capability of measuring at
least 3.3V can be placed across the output terminals in order to get an accurate output voltage
measurement.
Turn on the power at the input.
NOTE: If
there is no output, temporarily disconnect
the load to make sure that the load is not set too
high.
7.
Once the proper output voltage is established, adjust the load within the operating range and observe the output voltage regulation, ripple voltage,
efficiency and other desired parameters.
