LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2
operaTion
Regulated bias supplies as low as 7V can be utilized to
provide bias to the LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2. Figure 5 shows
various bias supply configurations.
Programming Undervoltage Lockout
The LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 provides undervoltage lockout
(UVLO) control for the input DC voltage feed to the power
converter in addition to the V
in the preceding section. Input DC feed UVLO is provided
with the UVLO pin. A comparator on UVLO compares a
divided down input DC feed voltage to the 5V precision
reference. When the 5V level is exceeded on UVLO, the
SS pin is released and output switching commences. At
the same time a 10µA current is enabled which flows out
of UVLO into the voltage divider connected to UVLO. The
amount of DC feed hysteresis provided by this current is:

to UVLO is present and greater than 5V prior to the V
UVLO circuitry activation, then the internal UVLO logic
will prevent output switching until the following three
conditions are met: (1) V
in regulation and (3) UVLO pin is greater than 5V.
UVLO can also be used to enable and disable the power
converter. An open drain transistor connected to UVLO,
as shown in Figure 6, provides this capability.
Off-Line Bias Supply Generation
If a regulated bias supply is not available to provide V
voltage to the LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 and supporting
circuitry, one must be generated. Since the power require-
ment is small, approximately 1W, and the regulation is not
critical, a simple open-loop method is usually the easiest
and lowest cost approach. One method that works well
is to add a winding to the main power transformer, and
post regulate the resultant square wave with an L-C filter
(see Figure 7a). The advantage of this approach is that it
maintains decent regulation as the supply voltage varies,
and it does not require full safety isolation from the input
winding of the transformer. Some manufacturers include a
primary winding for this purpose in their standard product
offerings as well. A different approach is to add a winding
to the output inductor and peak detect and filter the square
wave signal (see Figure 7b). The polarity of this winding
