LT1952/LT1952-1
Single Switch Synchronous
Forward Controller
DESCRIPTION
The LT
®
1952/LT1952-1 are current mode PWM controllers
optimized to control the forward converter topology, using
one primary MOSFET. The LT1952/LT1952-1 provide
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, transformer and rectifier utilization. The devices
include soft-start for controlled exit from shutdown and
undervoltage lockout. A precision 107mV current limit
threshold, independent of duty cycle, combines with soft-
start to provide hiccup short-circuit protection. The LT1952
is optimized for micropower bootstrap start-up from high
input voltages. The LT1952-1 allows start-up from lower
input voltages. Programmable slope compensation and
leading edge blanking allow optimization of loop bandwidth
with a wide range of inductors and MOSFETs. Each device
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/LT1952-1
are available in a small 16-pin SSOP package.

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 LT1952EGN/LT1952EGN-1 are 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/LT1952IGN-1 are 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:
Each 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.
