The LT
®
1952 is a current mode PWM controller optimized
to control the forward converter topology, using one
primary MOSFET. The LT1952 provides synchronous
rectifier control, resulting in extremely high efficiency. A
programmable Volt-Second clamp provides a safeguard
for transformer reset that prevents saturation. This allows
a single MOSFET on the primary side to reliably run at
greater than 50% duty cycle for high MOSFET, trans-
former and rectifier utilization. The LT1952 includes
soft-start for controlled exit from shutdown, overcurrent
conditions and undervoltage lockout. A precision 100mV
current limit threshold, independent of duty cycle, com-
bines with soft-start to provide hiccup short circuit protec-
tion. Micropower start-up allows the LT1952 to be effi-
ciently started from high input voltages. Programmable
slope compensation and leading edge blanking allow
optimization of loop bandwidth with a wide range of
inductors and MOSFETs. The LT1952 can be programmed
over a 100kHz to 500kHz frequency range and the part can
be synchronized to an external clock. The error amplifier
is a true op amp, allowing a wide range of compensation
networks. The LT1952 is available in a small 16-pin SSOP
package.

Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
The LT1952EGN is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C to
125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,
characterization and correlation with statistical process controls. The
LT1952IGN is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range.
Note 3:
Rise and Fall times are measured at 10% and 90% levels.
Note 4:
Guaranteed by correlation to static test.
Note 5:
This IC includes over-temperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when over-temperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
Note 6:
Guaranteed but not tested.
Note 7:
Maximum recommended SYNC frequency = 500kHz.
Note 8:
In applications where the V
IN
pin is supplied via an external RC
network from a SYSTEM V
IN
> 25V, an external zener with clamp voltage
V
IN ON(MAX)
< V
Z
< 25V should be connected from the V
IN
pin to ground.
Note 9:
V
IN
start-up current is measured at V
IN
= V
IN ON
– 0.25V and
scaled by x 1.18 (to correlate to worst case V
IN
start-up current at V
IN ON
).
Note 10:
Timing for R = 40k derived from measurement with R = 240k.
