TYPICAL APPLICATION
DESCRIPTION
Secondary-Side Synchronous
Forward Controller with
PolyPhase Capability
The LTC
®
3706 is a PolyPhase capable secondary-side
controller for synchronous forward converters. When used
in conjunction with the LTC3705 gate driver and primary-
side controller, the part creates a complete isolated power
supply that combines the power of PolyPhase operation
with the speed of secondary-side control.
The LTC3706 has been designed to simplify the design
of highly efficient, secondary-side forward converters.
Working in concert with the LTC3705, the LTC3706 forms
a robust, self-starting converter that eliminates the need
for the separate bias regulator that is commonly used in
secondary-side control applications. In addition, a pro-
prietary scheme is used to multiplex gate drive signals
and DC bias power across the isolation barrier through a
single, tiny pulse transformer.
The LTC3706 provides remote sensing, accurate power
good and overvoltage monitoring circuits to support preci-
sion, high current applications. A linear regulator controller
with thermal protection is also provided to simplify the
generation of secondary-side bias voltage.
The LTC3706 is available in a 24-lead SSOP package.
