LT3468/LT3468-1/LT3468-2 Photoflash Capacitor Chargers in ThinSOT TM U FEATURES DESCRIPTIO ■ The LT®3468/LT3468-1/LT3468-2 are highly integrated ICs designed to charge photoflash capacitors in digital and film cameras. A patented control technique* allows for the use of extremely small transformers. Each device contains an on-chip high voltage NPN power switch. Output voltage detection* is completely contained within the device, eliminating the need for any discrete zener diodes or resistors. The output voltage can be adjusted by simply changing the turns ratio of the transformer. The LT3468 has a primary current limit of 1.4A, the LT3468-2 has a 1A limit, and the LT3468-1 has a 0.7A limit. These different current limit levels result in well controlled input currents of 500mA for the LT3468, 375mA for the LT3468-2 and 225mA for the LT3468-1. Aside from the differing current limit, the three devices are otherwise equivalent. ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ ■ Highly Integrated IC Reduces Solution Size Uses Small Transformers: 5.8mm × 5.8mm × 3mm Fast Photoflash Charge Times: 4.6s for LT3468 (0V to 320V, 100µF, VIN = 3.6V) 5.7s for LT3468-2 (0V to 320V, 100µF, VIN = 3.6V) 5.5s for LT3468-1 (0V to 320V, 50µF, VIN = 3.6V) Controlled Input Current: 500mA (LT3468) 375mA (LT3468-2) 225mA (LT3468-1) Supports Operation from Single Li-Ion Cell, or Any Supply from 2.5V up to 16V Adjustable Output Voltage No Output Voltage Divider Needed Charges Any Size Photoflash Capacitor Low Profile (<1mm) SOT-23 Package U APPLICATIO S ■ ■ Digital / Film Camera Flash PDA / Cell Phone Flash Emergency Strobe , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.

This is the collector of the internal NPN Power switch. Minimize the metal trace area connected to this pin to minimize EMI. Tie one side of the primary of the transformer to this pin. The target output voltage is set by the turns ratio of the transformer. Choose Turns Ratio N by the following equation: N= VOUT + 2 31. 5 Where: VOUT is the desired output voltage. You must tie a Schottky diode from GND to SW, with the anode at GND for proper operation of the circuit. Please refer to the applications section for further information. DONE (Pin 3): Open NPN Collector Indication Pin. When target output voltage is reached, NPN turns on. This pin needs a pull-up resistor or current source. CHARGE (Pin 4): Charge Pin. This pin must be brought high (>1V) to enable the part. A low (<0.3V) to high (>1V) transition on this pin puts the part into power delivery mode.

You may bring this pin low during a charge cycle to halt charging at any time. VIN (Pin 5): Input Supply Pin. Must be locally bypassed with a good quality ceramic capacitor.

The operation of the part can be best understood by referring to Figure 1. When the CHARGE pin is first driven high, a one shot sets both SR latches in the correct state. The power NPN device, Q1, turns on and current begins ramping up in the primary of transformer T1. Comparator A1 monitors the switch current and when the peak current reaches 1.4A (LT3468), 1A(LT3468-2) or 0.7A (LT3468-1), Q1 is turned off. Since T1 is utilized as a flyback transformer, the flyback pulse on the SW pin will cause the output of A3 to be high. The voltage on the SW pin needs to be at least 36mV higher than VIN for this to happen. During this phase, current is delivered to the photoflash capacitor via the secondary and diode D1. As the secondary current decreases to zero, the SW pin voltage will begin to collapse. When the SW pin voltage drops to 36mV above VIN or lower, the output of A3 (DCM Comparator) will go low. This fires a one shot which turns Q1 back on. This cycle will continue to deliver power to the output. Output voltage detection is accomplished via R2, R1, Q2, and comparator A2 (VOUT Comparator). Resistors R1 and R2 are sized so that when the SW voltage is 31.5V above VIN, the output of A2 goes high which resets the master latch. This disables Q1 and halts power delivery. NPN transistor Q3 is turned on pulling the DONE pin low, indicating that the part has finished charging. Power delivery can only be restarted by toggling the CHARGE pin. The CHARGE pin gives full control of the part to the user. The charging can be halted at any time by bringing the CHARGE pin low. Only when the final output voltage is reached will the DONE pin go low. Figure 2 shows these various modes in action. When CHARGE is first brought high, charging commences. When CHARGE is brought low during charging, the part goes into shutdown and VOUT no longer rises. When CHARGE is brought high again, charging resumes. When the target VOUT voltage is reached, the DONE pin goes low and charging stops. Finally the CHARGE pin is brought low again so the part enters shutdown and the DONE pin goes high.

U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Choosing The Right Device (LT3468/LT3468-1/ LT3468-2) The only difference between the three versions of the LT3468 is the peak current level. For the fastest possible charge time, use the LT3468. The LT3468-1 has the lowest peak current capability, and is designed for applications that need a more limited drain on the batteries. Due to the lower peak current, the LT3468-1 can use a physically smaller transformer. The LT3468-2 has a current limit in between that of the LT3468 and the LT3468-1. Transformer Design The flyback transformer is a key element for any LT3468/ LT3468-1/LT3468-2 design. It must be designed carefully and checked that it does not cause excessive current or voltage on any pin of the part. The main parameters that need to be designed are shown in Table 1. The first transformer parameter that needs to be set is the turns ratio N. The LT3468/LT3468-1/LT3468-2 accomplish output voltage detection by monitoring the flyback waveform on the SW pin. When the SW voltage reaches 31.5V higher than the VIN voltage, the part will halt power delivery. Thus, the choice of N sets the target output voltage as it changes the amplitude of the reflected voltage from the output to the SW pin. Choose N according to the following equation: N= VOUT + 2 31. 5 sn346812 346812fs 7 LT3468/LT3468-1/LT3468-2 U W U U APPLICATIO S I FOR ATIO Where: VOUT is the desired output voltage. The number 2 in the numerator is used to include the effect of the voltage drop across the output diode(s). Thus for a 320V output, N should be 322/31.5 or 10.2. For a 300V output, choose N equal to 302/31.5 or 9.6. The next parameter that needs to be set is the primary inductance, LPRI. Choose LPRI according to the following formula: VOUT • 200 • 10 −9 N • IPK Where: V OUT is the desired output voltage. N is the transformer turns ratio. IPK is 1.4 (LT3468), 0.7 (LT3468-1), and 1.0 (LT3468-2). LPRI ≥ LPRI needs to be equal or larger than this value to ensure that the LT3468/LT3468-1/LT3468-2 has adequate time to respond to the flyback waveform. All other parameters need to meet or exceed the recommended limits as shown in Table 1. A particularly important parameter is the leakage inductance, LLEAK. When the power switch of the LT3468/LT3468-1/LT3468-2 turns off, the leakage inductance on the primary of the transformer causes a voltage spike to occur on the SW pin. The height of this spike must not exceed 40V, even though the absolute maximum rating of the SW Pin is 50V. The 50V absolute maximum rating is a DC blocking voltage specification, which assumes that the current in the power NPN is zero. Figure 3 shows the SW voltage waveform for the circuit of Figure 6(LT3468). Note that the absolute maximum rating of the SW pin is not exceeded. Make sure to check the SW voltage waveform with VOUT near the target output voltage, as this is the worst case condition for SW voltage. Figure 4 shows the various limits on the SW voltage during switch turn off. It is important not to minimize the leakage inductance to a very low level. Although this would result in a very low leakage spike on the SW pin, the parasitic capacitance of the transformer would become large. This will adversely effect the charge time of the photoflash circuit. Linear Technology has worked with several leading magnetic component manufacturers to produce pre-designed flyback transformers for use with the LT3468/LT3468-1/ LT3468-2. Table 2 shows the details of several of these transformers. Table 1.

Recommended Clamp Diodes Keep the area for the high voltage end of the secondary as small as possible. Also note the larger than minimum spacing for all high voltage nodes in order to meet breakdown voltage requirements for the circuit board. It is imperative to keep the electrical path formed by C1, the primary of T1, and the LT3468/LT3468-1/LT3468-2 as short as possible. If this path is haphazardly made long, it will effectively increase the leakage inductance of T1, which may result in an overvoltage condition on the SW pin. PRIMARY going too far below ground. The diode is required for proper operation of the circuit. The recommended diode should be a Schottky diode with at least a 500mA peak forward current capability. The diode forward voltage drop should be 600mV or less at 500mA of forward current. Reverse voltage rating should be 40V or higher. Table 4 shows various recommended clamping diodes. • COUT PHOTOFLASH CAPACITOR + 1 D2 Board Layout 3468 F05 The high voltage operation of the LT3468/LT3468-1/ LT3468-2 demands careful attention to board layout.
