LT3825
Isolated No-Opto
Synchronous Flyback Controller
with Wide Input Supply Range
DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
3825 is an isolated switching regulator controller
designed for medium power flyback topologies. A typical
application is 10W to 60W with input voltage limited only
by external power path components. A third transformer
winding provides output voltage feedback.
The LT3825 is a current mode controller that regulates
output voltage based on sensing secondary voltage via
a transformer winding during flyback. This allows for
tight output regulation without the use of an optoisolator,
improving dynamic response and reliability. Synchronous
rectification increases converter efficiency and improves
output cross regulation in multiple output converters.
The LT3825 operates in forced continuous conduction mode
which improves cross regulation in multiple winding ap-
plications. Switching frequency is user programmable and
can be externally synchronized. The part also has load com-
pensation, undervoltage lockout and soft-start circuity.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended
to protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 3:
The LT3825E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 4:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature T
A
and power
dissipation P
D
according to the following formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
• 40°C/W)
Note 5:
Supply current does not include gate charge current to the
MOSFETs. See Applications Information.
Note 6:
Component value range guaranteed by design.
