LTC3705
2-Switch Forward
Controller and Gate Driver
U
FEATURES
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC®3705 is a controller for a 2-switch forward
converter and includes on-chip bottom and top gate
drivers that do not require external transformers.

High-Speed Top and Bottom Gate Drivers for
2-Switch Forward Converter
On-Chip Rectifier and Self-Starting Architecture
■
Eliminate Need for Separate Gate Drive Bias
Supply
For secondary-side control, combine the LTC3705 with
the LTC3706 PolyPhase® secondary-side synchronous
forward controller to create a complete forward converter
using a minimum of discrete parts. A proprietary scheme
is used to multiplex gate drive signals across the isolation
barrier through a tiny pulse transformer. The on-chip
rectifierandthesamepulsetransformerprovidegatedrive
bias power.

Wide Input Voltage Supply Range: 18V to 80V
■
Tolerant of 100V Input Voltage Transients
■
Linear Regulator Controller for Fast Start-Up
■
