DESCRIPTION
Isolated No-Opto
Synchronous Flyback Controller
The LT3837 is an isolated switching regulator controller
designed for medium power yback topologies. A typical
application is 10W to 60W with the part powered from a
DC supply.
The LT3837 is a current mode controller that regulates an
output voltage based on sensing the secondary voltage
via a transformer winding during yback. This allows for
tight output regulation without the use of an optoisolator,
improving dynamic response and reliability. Synchronous
rectication increases converter efciency and improves
output cross regulation in multiple output converters.
The LT3837 operates in forced continuous conduction
mode which improves cross regulation in multiple winding
applications. Switching frequency is user programmable
and can be externally synchronized. The part also has load
compensation, undervoltage lockout and soft-start circuitry.
The LT3837 is available in a thermally enhanced 16-pin
TSSOP package.
