... The LTC3726 has been designed to simplify the design of highly efficient, secondary-side forward converters. Work- ing in concert with the LTC3705 or LTC 3725, the LTC3726 forms a robust, self-starting converter that eliminates the need for the separate bias regulator that is commonly used in secondary-side control applications ...

... Refer to the Applications Information section for details. Note 4: The LTC3726 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V voltage near the internal 0.6V reference voltage to obtain the specified ITH voltage (V = 1.2V). ITH Note 5: Operating supply current is measured in test mode. Dynamic supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge being delivered at the switching frequency ...

... CLK PER Figure 1: Gate Drive Encoding Scheme (V Self-Starting Architecture When the LTC3726 is used in conjunction with the LTC3705/ LTC3725 primary-side controller and gate driver, a com- plete self-starting isolated supply is formed. When input voltage is first applied in such an application, the LTC3705/ LTC3725 will begin switching in an “open-loop” fashion, causing the main output to slowly ramp upwards ...

... When fully charged, the RUN/SS voltage remains at 3V. In the event that the sensed switch or inductor current exceeds the overcurrent trip threshold, an internal fault latch is tripped. When such a fault is detected, the LTC3726 immediately goes to zero duty cycle and initiates a soft- start retry. Prior to discharging the soft-start capacitor, ...

... Second, the LTC3705/LTC3725 contains a time-out fea- ture that will detect a FAULT if the LTC3726 fails to start up and deliver PWM signals to the primary side. Finally, the LTC3726 has an independent overvoltage detection circuit that will crowbar the output of the DC/DC converter using the synchronous MOSFET switch ...

... CC circuit of Figure 2 uses a peak detector followed by a simple linear regulator to rapidly develop a V the LTC3726. Note that this bias voltage must rise faster than the open-loop soft-start that is initiated by the LTC3705/LTC3725. This ensures that the LTC3726 be- gins switching and assumes control of the soft-start before the output voltage has risen substantially ...

... For the LTC3726, the master performs soft-start and voltage-loop regulation by driving all slaves to the same current as the master using the ITH pins. Faults and shutdowns are communicated via the interconnection of the RUN/SS pins. The LTC3726 is put into slave mode by tying the FB pin ...
