DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
3751 is a high input voltage capable flyback con-
troller designed to rapidly charge a large capacitor to a
user-adjustable target voltage set by the transformer turns
ratio and three external resistors. An optional feedback pin
can be used to provide a low noise high-voltage regulated
output.
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
undervoltage lockouts for both V
CC
and V
TRANS
. A typical
application can charge a 1000μF capacitor to 500V in less
than one second.
The CHARGE pin is used to initiate a new charge cycle and
provides ON/OFF control. The
DONE
pin indicates when the
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
CC
or V
TRANS
voltage
exceeding the user-programmed supply tolerances.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LT3751E 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
LT3751I is guaranteed over the full –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range.
Note 3:
A 60V internal clamp is connected to RV
TRANS
, RDCM, RV
OUT
,
UVLO1, UVLO2, OVLO1 and OVLO2. Resistors should be used such that
the pin currents do not exceed the Absolute Maximum Ratings.
Note 4:
Currents will increase as pin voltages are taken higher than the
internal clamp voltage.
Note 5:
Refer to Block Diagram for V
TRANS
and V
DRAIN
definitions.
Note 6:
Low noise regulation of the output voltage requires a resistive
voltage divider from output voltage to FB pin. FB pin should not be
grounded in this configuration. Refer to the Typical Application diagram for
proper FB pin configuration.
Note 7:
The feedback pin has built-in hysteresis that defines the boundary
between charge-only mode and low noise regulation mode.
Note 8:
LVGATE should be used in parallel with HVGATE when V
CC
is less
than or equal to 8V (LVGATE active). When not in use, LVGATE should be
tied to V
CC
(LVGATE inactive).
Note 9:
Do not apply a positive or negative voltage or current source to
HVGATE, otherwise permanent damage may occur.
