FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LT®1425 is a monolithic high power switching regu-
lator specifically designed for the isolated flyback topol-
ogy. No “third winding” or optoisolator is required; the
integrated circuit senses the isolated output voltage
directly from the primary side flyback waveform. A high
current, high efficiency switch is included on the die along
with all oscillator, control and protection circuitry.
■
No Transformer “Third Winding” or Optoisolator
Required
■
±5% Accurate Output Voltage Without User Trims
(See Circuit Below)
Resistor Programmable Output Voltage
■
■
Regulation Maintained Well Into Discontinuous
Mode (Light Load)
■
Optional Load Compensation
The LT1425 operates with input supply voltages from 3V
to 20V and draws only 7mA quiescent current. It can
deliver output power up to 6W with no external power
devices. Byutilizingcurrentmodeswitchingtechniques, it
provides excellent AC and DC line regulation.
■
Operating Frequency: 285kHz
■
Easily Synchronized to External Clock
■
Available in 16-Pin Narrow SO Package
U
APPLICATIONS
The LT1425 has a number of features not found on other
switching regulator ICs. Its unique control circuitry can
maintain regulation well into discontinuous mode in most
applications. Optional load compensation circuitry allows
for improved load regulation. An externally activated shut-
down mode reduces total supply current to 15µA for
standby operation.
