LTC3723-1/LTC3723-2
Synchronous Push-Pull
PWM Controllers
DESCRIPTIO
The LTC
®
3723-1/LTC3723-2 synchronous push-pull PWM
controllers provide all of the control and protection func-
tions necessary for compact 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. Synchronous rectifier
timing is adjustable to optimize efficiency. A UVLO pro-
gram input provides precise system turn-on and turn off
voltages. The LTC3723-1 features peak current mode
control with programmable slope compensation and lead-
ing edge blanking, while the LTC3723-2 employs voltage
mode control with voltage feedforward capability.
The LTC3723-1/LTC3723-2 feature extremely low operat-
ing and start-up currents. Both devices provide reliable
short-circuit and overtemperature protection. The
LTC3723-1/LTC3723-2 are offered in a 16-pin SSOP
package.

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 LTC3723E–1/LTC3723E-2 are guaranteed to meet
performance specifications from 0°C to 70°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.
