Linear Technology's LT3804, a secondary side DC/DC regulator with integrated optocoupler driver for dual output isolated power supplies, is ideal for converting 36 to 72 V supplies to output voltages of 5, 3,3, 2,5, 1,8, 1,5 V and lower at up to 50 W per output. Unlike previous dual output isolated power supplies that require up to two DC/DC regulators and an external optocoupler driver, the LT3804 is a single controller solution housed in a small 28-lead TSSOP package. Differential Kelvin voltage sensing is used for each output feedback to achieve high regulation accuracy and design simplicity.
80 W dual output secondary side controller
When combined with Linear Technology's primary side DC/DC regulators, the LT3804 offers a complete isolated dual output power supply priced up to 40% below comparable DC/DC modules, according to the company. Applications include 48 V distributed power, datacom/telecom, DSL/cable modems, servers and RAID systems as well as industrial and automotive instruments.
The LT3804 contains an error amplifier and an optocoupler driver to regulate the main output. For the second output regulation, the IC contains a complete PWM controller to drive dual synchronous N-channel MOSFETs. With leading edge modulation, it operates with either current or voltage mode control of the primary side. The device is synchronised to the falling edge of the transformer secondary winding and can be used in single-ended or double-ended isolated power converter topologies. The LT3804 operates with switching frequencies ranging from 200 to 800 kHz and is rated for use over -40 to 125°C.
