LT3751
Capacitor Charger
Controller with Regulation
FEATURES
DESCRIPTION
The LT®3751 is a high input voltage capable flyback con-
troller designed to rapidly charge a large capacitor to a
user-adjustabletargetvoltagesetbythetransformerturns
ratioandthreeexternalresistors. Anoptionalfeedbackpin
can be used to provide a low noise high-voltage regulated
output.

Voltage Clamp
The LT3751 has an integrated rail-to-rail MOSFET gate
driver that allows for efficient operation down to 4.75V.
A low 106mV differential current sense threshold voltage
accurately limits the peak switch current. Added protec-
tion is achieved with user-selectable overvoltage and

application can charge a 1000μF capacitor to 500V in less
than one second.
APPLICATIONS
The CHARGE pin is used to initiate a new charge cycle and
providesON/OFFcontrol.TheDONEpinindicateswhenthe
capacitor has reached its programmed value and the part
has stopped charging. The FAULT pin indicates when the
LT3751 has shut down due to either V or V
exceeding the user-programmed supply tolerances.
