The LTC
®
3721-1 push-pull PWM controller provides all of
the control and protection functions necessary for com-
pact and highly efficient, isolated power converters. High
integration minimizes external component count, while
preserving design flexibility.
The robust push-pull output stages switch at half the
oscillator frequency. Dead-time is independently pro-
grammed with an external resistor. A UVLO program input
provides precise system turn-on and turn off voltages. The
LTC3721-1 features peak current mode control with pro-
grammable slope compensation and leading edge
blanking.
The LTC3721-1 features extremely low operating and
start-up currents and reliable short-circuit and
overtemperature protection. The LTC3721-1 is offered in
16-pin SSOP and (4mm
×
4mm) QFN packages.

ELECTRICAL CHARACTERISTICS
Note 1:
Absolute Maximum Ratings are those values beyond which the life
of a device may be impaired.
Note 2:
Includes leading edge blanking delay, R
LEB
= 20k, not tested in
production.
Note 3:
FB is driven by a servo loop amplifier to control V
COMP
for these
tests.
Note 4:
Set FB to –0.3V, 2.5V and insure that COMP does not phase invert.
Note 5:
The LTC3721–1 is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.
Note 6:
This IC includes overtemperature protection that is intended to
protect the device during momentary overload conditions. Junction
temperature will exceed 125°C when overtemperature protection is active.
Continuous operation above the specified maximum operating junction
temperature may impair device reliability.
