Secondary Controller for Isolated DC-DC PWM
Switching Regulators Systems
Use With LDO Regulator for High-Precision,
Fixed-Output Regulators
Precision Monitoring Applications
Use With Many Types of Regulators to Increase
Precision and Improve Performance
The LM3411 circuitry includes an internally
compensated operational amplifier, a bandgap
reference, NPN output transistor, and voltage setting
resistors.
A trimmed precision bandgap reference with
temperature drift curvature correction provides a
ensured 1% precision over the operating temperature
range (A grade version). The inverting input of the
amplifier is externally accessible for loop frequency
compensation when used as part of a larger servo
system. The output is an open-emitter NPN transistor
capable of driving up to 15 mA of load current.
Because of its small die size, the LM3411 has been
made available in the subminiature 5-pin SOT-23
surface-mount package. This package is ideal for use
in space-critical applications.
Although its main application is to provide a precision
output voltage (no trimming required) and maintain
very good regulation in isolated DC-DC converters, it
can also be used with other types of voltage
regulators or power semiconductors to provide a
precision output voltage without precision resistors or
trimming.

Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings may cause permanent damage to the device. These are stress ratings
only, which do not imply functional operation of the device at these or any other conditions beyond those indicated under Recommended
Operating Conditions. Exposure to absolute-maximum-rated conditions for extended periods may affect device reliability.
See AN-450 Surface Mounting Methods and Their Effect on Product Reliability (SNOA742) for methods on soldering surface-mount
devices.
The maximum power dissipation must be derated at elevated temperatures and is dictated by TJmax (maximum junction temperature),
RθJA (junction to ambient thermal resistance), and TA (ambient temperature). The maximum allowable power dissipation at any
temperature is (PDmax = TJmax – TA) / RθJA or the number given in the Absolute Maximum Ratings, whichever is lower. The typical
thermal resistance (RθJA) when soldered to a printed-circuit board is approximately 306°C/W for the DBV package.

8 Detailed Description
8.1 Overview
The LM3411 is a shunt regulator specifically designed to be the reference and control section in an overall
feedback loop of a regulated power supply. The regulated output voltage is sensed between the IN pin and
GROUND pin of the LM3411. If the voltage at the IN pin is less than the LM3411 regulating voltage (VREG), the
OUT pin sources no current. As the voltage at the IN pin approaches the VREG voltage, the OUT pin begins
sourcing current. This current is then used to drive a feedback device, (optocoupler) or a power device (linear
regulator, switching regulator, and so forth) which serves the output voltage to be the same value as VREG.
In some applications (even under normal operating conditions), the voltage on the IN pin can be forced above
the VREG voltage. In these instances, the maximum voltage applied to the IN pin should not exceed 20 V. In
addition, an external resistor may be required on the OUT pin to limit the maximum current to 20 mA.

8.3 Feature Description
The LM3411 devices contain an internal operational amplifier, precision reference, feedback resister divider, and
a bi-polar transistor suitable for driving an optocoupler. The divider resistor is sized such that the system will
regulate the +IN pin to either 3.3 V or 5 V depending on the device version used. By connecting a feedback
network from the OUT pin to the COMP pin, local compensation is implemented to stabilize the system.
8.4 Device Functional Modes
The primary mode of operation for the LM3411 is as a shunt regulator. In addition the device has robust
overcurrent protection. These features make it applicable to a wide range of applications ranging from isolated
feedback control to traditional shunt regulation.

9.2.1.2 Detailed Design Procedure
9.2.1.2.1 Compensation
The inverting input of the error amplifier is brought out to allow overall closed-loop compensation. In many of the
applications circuits shown in the subsequent sections, compensation is provided by a single capacitor
connected from the compensation pin to the out pin of the LM3411. The capacitor values shown in the
schematics accompanying these sections are adequate under most conditions, but they can be increased or
decreased depending on the desired loop response. Applying a load pulse to the output of a regulator circuit and
observing the resultant output voltage response is a easy method of determining the stability of the control loop.
Analyzing more complex feedback loops requires additional information.

The resistor (Rf) in the formula is an internal resistor located on the die. Since this resistor value will affect the
phase margin, the worst case maximum and minimum values are important when analyzing closed loop stability.
The minimum and maximum room temperature values of this resistor are specified in Electrical Characteristics:
3.3-V Version of this data sheet, and Figure 11 shows the temperature coefficient from Typical Characteristics. In
the applications shown in the subsequent sections, the worst case phase margin occurs with minimum values of
Rf.
9.2.1.2.2 Test Circuit
The test circuit shown in Figure 20 can be used to measure and verify various LM3411 parameters. Test
conditions are set by forcing the appropriate voltage at the VOUT Set test point and selecting the appropriate RL
or IOUT as specified in Electrical Characteristics. Use a DVM at the measure test points to read the data.

9.2.2 Isolated 250-mA Flyback Switching Regulator
Copyright © 2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated
Figure 23. Isolated 250-mA Flyback Switching Regulator Schematic
9.2.2.1 Design Requirements
The design requirements for this isolated flyback converter example are 5 V with 250 mA.
9.2.2.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The LM3411 regulator or driver provides the reference and feedback drive functions in a regulated power supply.
It can also be used together with many different types of regulators, (both linear and switching) as well as other
power semiconductor devices to add precision and improve regulation specifications. Output voltage tolerances
better than 0.5% are possible without using trim pots or precision resistors.
One of the main applications of the LM3411 is to drive an opto-isolator to provide feedback signal isolation in a
switching regulator circuit. For low current applications (up to 250 mA), see Figure 23 for a circuit that provides
good regulation and complete input and output electrical isolation.
For an input voltage of 15 V, this circuit can provide an output of either 3.3 V or 5 V with a load current up to
250 mA with excellent regulation characteristics. With the part values shown, this circuit operates at 80 kHz, and
can be synchronized to a clock or an additional LM3578. See LM3578A's data sheet (SNVS767) for additional
information.

Copyright © 2016, Texas Instruments Incorporated
Figure 24. Isolated 1.5-A Flyback Switching Regulator Using a LM2577
9.2.3.1 Design Requirements
The design requirements for this isolated flyback converter example are 3.3 V or 5 V with 1.5 A.
9.2.3.2 Detailed Design Procedure
An isolated DC-DC flyback converter capable of higher output current is shown in Figure 24. This circuit uses the
LM2577 SIMPLE SWITCHER voltage regulator for the Pulse Width Modulation (PWM), power switch, and
protection functions, while the LM3411 provides the voltage reference, gain, and opto-coupler drive functions. In
this circuit, the reference and error amplifier in the LM2577 are not used (note that the feedback pin is grounded).
The gain is provided by the LM3411. Since the voltage reference is located on the secondary side of the
transformer, this circuit provides very good regulation specifications.
The output of a switching regulator typically will contain a small ripple voltage at the switching frequency and may
also contain voltage transients. These transient voltage spikes can be sensed by the LM3411 and could give an
incorrect regulation voltage. An RC filter consisting of a 1-Ω resistor and a 100-nF capacitor will filter these
transients and minimize this problem. The 1-Ω resistor should be located on the ground side of the LM3411, and
the capacitor should be physically located near the package.

Figure 25. Precision 1-A Buck Regulator Schematic
9.2.4.1 Design Requirements
The design requirements for this precision buck converter example are 5 V with 1 A.
9.2.4.2 Detailed Design Procedure
Improved output voltage tolerance and regulation specifications are possible by combining the LM3411A with one
of the SIMPLE SWITCHER buck regulator IC's, such as the LM2574, LM2575, or LM2576. Figure 25 shows a
circuit capable of providing a 5-V, ±0.5% output (1% over the operating temperature range) without using any
trim-pots or precision resistors. Typical line regulation numbers are a 1 mV change on the output for a 8 V to
18 V change on the input, and load regulation of 1 mV with a load change from 100 mA to 1 A.

9.2.5.1 Design Requirements
The design requirements for this flyback converter example are VIN = –20 V to –10 V and VOUT = –5 V with 1 A.
9.2.5.2 Detailed Design Procedure
A DC-DC flyback converter that accepts a negative input voltage, and delivers either a positive or negative output
is shown in Figure 26. The circuit uses a buck regulator (such as the LM2574, LM2575, or LM2576, depending
on how much output current is needed) operating in a flyback configuration. The LM3411 provides the reference
and the required level shifting circuitry needed to make the circuit work correctly.
A unique feature of this circuit is the ability to ground either the high or low side of the output, thus generating
either a negative or a positive output voltage. Although no isolation is provided, with the addition of an optoisolator and related components, this circuit could provide input/output isolation.
Combining a LM3411A 5-V version with a 1-A low dropout linear regulator results in a 5 V ±0.5% (1% over the
operating temperature range) regulator with excellent regulation specifications, with no trimming or 1% resistors
needed.
An added benefit of this circuit (and also true of many of the other circuits shown) is the high-side and low-side
remote output voltage sensing feature. Sensing the output voltage at the load eliminates the voltage drops
associated with wire resistance, thus providing near perfect load regulation.

The design requirements for this precision positive voltage regulator with accurate current limit are VIN = 9 V to
20 V and VOUT = 5 V.
9.2.8.2 Detailed Design Procedure
The standard LM317 three terminal adjustable regulator circuit can greatly benefit by adding a LM3411.
Performance is increased and features are added. Figure 29 shows a circuit capable of providing further
improved line and load regulation, lower temperature drift, and full remote output voltage sensing on both the
high and low side. In addition, a precise current limit or constant current feature is simple to add.
Current limit protection in most IC regulators is mainly to protect the IC from gross overcurrent conditions which
could otherwise fuse bonding wires or blow IC metalization, therefore not much precision is needed for the actual
current limit values. Current limit tolerances can sometimes vary from ±10% to as high as +300% over
manufacturing and temperature variations. Often critical circuitry requires a much tighter control over the amount
of current the power supply can deliver. For example, a power supply may be needed that can deliver 100% of
its design current, but can still limit the maximum current to 110% to protect critical circuitry from high current
fault conditions.
The circuit in Figure 29 can provide a current limit accuracy that is better than ±4%, over all possible variations,
in addition to having excellent line, load, and temperature specifications.

Like the positive regulators, the performance of negative adjustable regulators can also be improved by adding
the LM3411. Output voltages of either 3.3 V or 5 V at currents up to 1.5 A (3 A when using a LM333) are
possible. Adding two resistors to the circuit in Figure 30 adds the precision current limit feature as shown in
Figure 31. Current limit tolerances of ±4% over manufacturing and temperature variations are possible with this
circuit.

pulled high by the internal NPN output resistor.
