controller for synchronous forward converters. When used
in conjunction with the LTC3765 active-clamp forward
controller and gate driver, the part creates a complete
isolated power supply that combines the power of multi-
phase operation with the speed of secondary-side control.
The LTC3766 has been designed to simplify the design of
active clamp forward converters. Working in concert with
the LTC3765, the LTC3766 forms a robust, self-starting
converter that eliminates the need for the separate bias
regulator that is commonly used in secondary-side control
applications. A precision current-limit coupled with clean
start-up into a pre-biased load make the LTC3766 an excel-
lent choice for high-power battery charger applications.
The LTC3766 provides extensive remote sensing and output
protection features, while Direct Flux Limit guarantees no
transformer saturation without compromising transient
response. A linear regulator controller and internal bypass
LDO are also provided to simplify the generation of the
secondary-side bias voltage.

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 LTC3766E is guaranteed to meet specifications from 0°C
to 85°C with specifications over the –40°C to 125°C operating junction
temperature range assured by design, characterization and correlation with
statistical process controls. The LTC3766I is guaranteed over the –40°C to
125°C operating junction temperature range, the LTC3766H is guaranteed
over the –40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range, and the
LTC3766MP is tested and guaranteed over the –55°C to 150°C operating
junction temperature range. High junction temperatures degrade operating
lifetimes; operating lifetime is derated for junction temperatures greater
than 125°C. Note that the maximum ambient temperature consistent with
these specifications is determined by specific operating conditions in
conjunction with board layout, the rated package thermal impedance and
other environmental factors.
Note 3:
T
J
is calculated from the ambient temperature, T
A
, and power
dissipation, P
D
, according to the following formula:
T
J
= T
A
+ (P
D
•
θ
JA
°C/W)
where
θ
JA
is 95°C/W for the SSOP and 43°C/W for the QFN package.
Note 4:
The LTC3766 is tested in a feedback loop that servos V
FB
to a
voltage near the internal 0.6V reference voltage to obtain the specified ITH
voltage (V
ITH
= 1.2V).
Note 5:
Operating supply current is measured in test mode. Dynamic
supply current is higher due to the internal gate charge being delivered at
the switching frequency. See Typical Performance Characteristics.
Note 6:
The V
IN
Regulator employs an external pass device to produce the
regulated V
CC
output voltage. The LTC3766 is tested using a 2N3904 NPN
