The LT®1425 is a monolithic high power switching regulator specifically designed for the isolated flyback topology.
No “third winding” or optoisolator is required; the integrated circuit senses the isolated output voltage directly
from the primary side flyback waveform. A high current,
high efficiency switch is included on the die along with all
oscillator, control and protection circuitry.
n
APPLICATIONS
The LT1425 operates with input supply voltages from
3V to 20V and draws only 7mA quiescent current. It can
deliver output power up to 6W with no external power
devices. By utilizing current mode switching techniques,
it provides excellent AC and DC line regulation.
The LT1425 has a number of features not found on other
switching regulator ICs. Its unique control circuitry can
maintain regulation well into discontinuous mode in most
applications. Optional load compensation circuitry allows
for improved load regulation. An externally activated
shutdown mode reduces total supply current to 15µA for
standby operation.

PIN FUNCTIONS
GND (Pins 1, 8, 9, 16): Ground. These pins connect to
the substrate of the die and are separate from the power
ground and signal ground. They should connect directly
to a good quality ground plane.
PGND (Pin 10): Power Ground. This pin is the emitter of
the power switch device and has large currents flowing
through it. It should be connected directly to a good quality ground plane.
RFB (Pin 3): Input Pin for External “Feedback” Resistor
Connected to Transformer Primary (VSW). The ratio of this
resistor to the RREF resistor, times the internal bandgap
(VBG) reference, is the primary determinant of the output
voltage (plus the effect of any nonunity transformer turns
ratio). The average current through this resistor during
the flyback period should be approximately 400µA. See
Applications Information for more details.
VSW (Pin 11): This is the collector node of the output
switch and has large currents flowing through it. Keep the
traces to the switching components as short as possible
to minimize electromagnetic radiation and voltage spikes.
VC (Pin 4): Control Voltage. This pin is the output of the
feedback amplifier and the input of the current comparator. Frequency compensation of the overall loop is effected
by placing a capacitor between this node and ground.
RCCOMP (Pin 13): Pin for the External Filter Capacitor
for Load Compensation Function. A common 0.1µF
ceramic capacitor will suffice for most applications. See
Applications Information for further details.
RREF (Pin 5): Input Pin for External Ground-Referred
“Reference” Resistor. This resistor should be in the range
of 3k, but for convenience, need not be this value precisely. See Applications Information for more details.
SYNC (Pin 6): Pin to Synchronize Internal Oscillator to
External Frequency Reference. It is directly logic compatible and can be driven with any signal between 10%
and 90% duty cycle. If unused, this pin can be left floating; however, for best noise immunity the pin should
be grounded.
SGND (Pin 7): Signal Ground. This pin is a clean ground.
The internal reference and feedback amplifier are referred
to it. Keep the ground path connection to RREF and the
VC compensation capacitor free of large ground currents.
VIN (Pin 12): Supply Voltage. Bypass input supply pin with
10µF or more. The part goes into undervoltage lockout
when VIN drops below 2.8V. Undervoltage lockout stops
switching and pulls the VC pin low.
ROCOMP (Pin 14): Input Pin for Optional External Load
Compensation Resistor. Use of this pin allows nominal compensation for nonzero output impedance in the
power transformer secondary circuit, including secondary
winding impedance, output Schottky diode impedance
and output capacitor ESR. In less demanding applications
this resistor is not needed. See Applications Information
for more details.
SHDN (Pin 15): Shutdown. This pin is used to turn off
the regulator and reduce VIN input current to a few tens
of microamperes. The SHDN pin can be left floating
when unused.

OPERATION
The LT1425 is a current mode switching regulator IC that
has been designed specifically for the isolated flyback
topology. The special problem normally encountered in
such circuits is that information relating to the output
voltage on the isolated secondary side of the transformer
must be communicated to the primary side in order to
maintain regulation. Historically, this has been done with
optoisolators or extra transformer windings. Optoisolator
circuits waste output power and the extra components
they require increase the cost and physical volume of
the power supply. Optoisolators can also exhibit trouble
due to limited dynamic response (temporal), nonlinearity, unit-to-unit variation and aging over life. Circuits
employing extra transformer windings also exhibit
deficiencies. The extra winding adds to the transformer’s physical size and cost. Dynamic response is often
mediocre. There is usually no method for maintaining load
regulation versus load.
The LT1425 derives its information about the isolated output voltage by examining the primary side flyback pulse
waveform. In this manner no optoisolator nor extra transformer winding is required. This IC is a quantum improvement over previous approaches because: target output
voltage is directly resistor-programmable, regulation is
maintained well into discontinuous mode and optional
load compensation is available.
The Block Diagram shows an overall view of the system.
Many of the blocks are similar to those found in traditional designs including: internal bias regulator, oscillator,
logic, current amplifier and comparator, driver and output
switch. The novel sections include a special flyback error
amplifier and a load compensation mechanism. Also, due
to the special dynamic requirements of flyback control,
the logic system contains additional functionality not
found in conventional designs.

LT1425
OPERATION
Within the dashed lines in the Block Diagram can be found
the RREF, RFB and ROCOMP resistors. They are external
resistors on the user-programmable LT1425. The capacitor connected to the RCCOMP pin is also external.
The LT1425 operates much the same as traditional current mode switchers, the major difference being a different type of error amplifier which derives its feedback
information from the flyback pulse. Due to space constraints, this discussion will not reiterate the basics of
current mode switcher/controllers and isolated flyback
converters. A good source of information on these topics
is ADI’s Application Note 19.

The flyback voltage is then converted to a current by
the action of RFB and Q1. Nearly all of this current flows
through resistor RREF to form a ground-referred voltage.
This is then compared to the internal bandgap reference
by the differential transistor pair Q2/Q3. The collector
current from Q2 is mirrored around and subtracted from
fixed current source IFXD at the VC pin. An external capacitor integrates this net current to provide the control voltage to set the current mode trip point.
The relatively high gain in the overall loop will then cause
the voltage at the RREF resistor to be nearly equal to the
bandgap reference VBG. (VBG is not present in final output
voltage setting equation. See Applications Information
section.) The relationship between VFLBK and VBG may
then be expressed as:

Combination with the previous VFLBK expression yields
an expression for VOUT, in terms of the internal reference,
programming resistors, transformer turns ratio and diode
forward voltage drop:
ERROR AMPLIFIER—PSEUDO DC THEORY
Please refer to the simplified diagram of the Flyback Error
Amplifier. Operation is as follows: when output switch
Q4 turns off, its collector voltage rises above the VIN rail.
The amplitude of this flyback pulse, i.e., the difference
between it and VIN, is given as:

Additionally, it includes the effect of nonzero secondary

The practical aspects of applying this equation for VOUT
are found in the Applications Information section.
So far, this has been a pseudo-DC treatment of flyback
error amplifier operation. But the flyback signal is a pulse,
not a DC level. Provision must be made to enable the flyback amplifier only when the flyback pulse is present. This
is accomplished by the dashed line connections to the
block labeled “ENABLE.” Timing signals are then required
to enable and disable the flyback amplifier.
ERROR AMPLIFIER—DYNAMIC THEORY
There are several timing signals that are required for proper
LT1425 operation. Please refer to the Timing Diagram.
Minimum Output Switch ON Time
The LT1425 effects output voltage regulation via flyback
pulse action. If the output switch is not turned on at all,
there will be no flyback pulse, and output voltage information is no longer available. This would cause irregular loop response and start-up/latchup problems. The
solution chosen is to require the output switch to be on
for an absolute minimum time per each oscillator cycle.
This in turn establishes a minimum load requirement to
Rev. B

LT1425
OPERATION
maintain regulation. See Applications Information section
for further details.
Enable Delay
When the output switch shuts off, the flyback pulse
appears. However, it takes a finite time until the transformer primary side voltage waveform approximately represents the output voltage. This is partly due to rise time
on the VSW node, but more importantly due to transformer
leakage inductance. The latter causes a voltage spike on
the primary side not directly related to output voltage.
(Some time is also required for internal settling of the
feedback amplifier circuitry.)
In order to maintain immunity to these phenomena, a
fixed delay is introduced between the switch turn-off command and the enabling of the feedback amplifier. This is
termed “enable delay.” In certain cases where the leakage
spike is not sufficiently settled by the end of the enable
delay period, regulation error may result. See Applications
Information section for further details.
Collapse Detect
Once the feedback amplifier is enabled, some mechanism
is then required to disable it. This is accomplished by
a collapse detect comparator, that compares the flyback
voltage (RREF referred) to a fixed reference, nominally
80% of VBG. When the flyback waveform drops below
this level, the feedback amplifier is disabled. This action
accommodates both continuous and discontinuous
mode operation.
Minimum Enable Time
The feedback amplifier, once enabled, stays enabled for
a fixed minimum time period termed “minimum enable
time.” This prevents lock-up, especially when the output
voltage is abnormally low, e.g., during start-up. The minimum enable time period ensures that the VC node is able
to “pump up” and increase the current mode trip point to
the level where the collapse detect system exhibits proper
operation. The “minimum enable time” often determines
the low load level at which output voltage regulation is
lost. See Applications Information section for details.
Effects of Variable Enable Period
It should now be clear that the flyback amplifier is enabled
only during a portion of the cycle time. This can vary from
the fixed “minimum enable time” described to a maximum
of roughly the OFF switch time minus the enable delay
time. Certain parameters of flyback amp behavior will then
be directly affected by the variable enable period. These
include effective transconductance and VC node slew rate.
Load Compensation Theory
The LT1425 uses the flyback pulse to obtain information about the isolated output voltage. A potential error
source is caused by transformer secondary current flow
through the real life nonzero impedances of the output
rectifier, transformer secondary and output capacitor.
This has been represented previously by the expression
(ISEC (ESR). However, it is generally more useful to convert
this expression to an effective output impedance. Because
the secondary current only flows during the off portion
of the duty cycle, the effective output impedance equals
the lumped secondary impedance times the inverse of the
OFF duty cycle. That is,
ROUT = ESR
)
1
DC OFF
)
where,
ROUT = Effective supply output impedance
ESR = Lumped secondary impedance
DC OFF = OFF duty cycle
Expressing this in terms of the ON duty cycle, remembering DC OFF = 1 – DC,
ROUT = ESR
) )

1 – DC
DC = ON duty cycle
In less critical applications, or if output load current
remains relatively constant, this output impedance
error may be judged acceptable and the external RFB
resistor value adjusted to compensate for nominal
expected error. In more demanding applications, output

OPERATION
impedance error may be minimized by the use of the load
compensation function.
To implement the load compensation function, a voltage is developed that is proportional to average output
switch current. This voltage is then impressed across
the external ROCOMP resistor and the resulting current
is then subtracted from the RFB node. As output loading
increases, average switch current increases to maintain
rough output voltage regulation. This causes an increase
in ROCOMP resistor current subtracted from the RFB node,
through which feedback loop action causes a corresponding increase in target output voltage.

NSP = Effective secondary-to-primary turns ratio
Strictly speaking, the above equation defines RFB not as
an absolute value, but as a ratio of RREF. So the next question is, “What is the proper value for RREF?” The answer
is that RREF should be approximately 3k. This is because
the LT1425 is trimmed and specified using this value of
RREF. If the impedance of RREF varies considerably from
3k, additional errors will result. However, a variation in
RREF of several percent or so is perfectly acceptable. This
yields a bit of freedom in selecting standard 1% resistor
values to yield nominal RFB/RREF ratios.

While the value for ROCOMP may therefore be theoretically determined, it is usually better in practice to employ
empirical methods. This is because several of the required
input variables are difficult to estimate precisely. For
instance, the ESR term above includes that of the transformer secondary, but its effective ESR value depends on
high frequency behavior, not simply DC winding resistance. Similarly, K1 appears to be a simple ratio of VIN
to VOUT times (differential) efficiency, but theoretically
estimating efficiency is not a simple calculation. The suggested empirical method is as follows:
Build a prototype of the desired supply using the eventual secondary components. Temporarily ground the
RCCOMP pin to disable the load compensation function.
Operate the supply over the expected range of output
current loading while measuring the output voltage
deviation. Approximate this variation as a single value
of ROUT (straight line approximation). Calculate a value
for the K1 constant based on VIN, VOUT and the measured (differential) efficiency. They are then combined
with the data sheet typical value for (∆VRCCOMP/∆ISW )
to yield a value for ROCOMP.
Verify this result by connecting a resistor of roughly
this value from the ROCOMP pin to ground. (Disconnect
the ground short to RCCOMP and connect the requisite
0.1µF filter capacitor to ground.) Measure the output
impedance with the new compensation in place. Modify
the original ROCOMP value if necessary to increase or
decrease the effective compensation.
Once the proper load compensation resistor has been
chosen, it may be necessary to adjust the value of the
RFB resistor. This is because the load compensation
system exhibits some nonlinearity. In particular, the
circuit can shift the reference current by a noticeable

amount when output switch current is zero. Please
refer to Figure 1 which shows nominal reference current shift at zero load for a range of ROCOMP values.
Example: for a load compensation resistor of 12k, the
graph indicates a 1.0% shift in reference current. The
RFB resistor value should be adjusted down by about
1.0% to restore the original target output voltage.

Leakage Inductance
1
Transformer leakage inductance (on either the primary or
secondary) causes a spike after output switch turn-off. This
is increasingly prominent at higher load currents where
more stored energy must be dissipated. In many cases
a “snubber” circuit will be required to avoid overvoltage
breakdown at the output switch node. ADI’s Application
Note 19 is a good reference on snubber design.

In less critical applications, or when output current
remains relatively constant, the load compensation
function may be deemed unnecessary. In such cases, a
reduced component solution may be obtained as follows:
Leave the ROCOMP node open (ROCOMP = ∞), and replace
the filter capacitor normally on the RCCOMP node with a
short to ground.
TRANSFORMER DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS
Transformer specification and design is perhaps the most
critical part of applying the LT1425 successfully. In addition to the usual list of caveats dealing with high frequency
isolated power supply transformer design, the following
information should prove useful.
Turns Ratio
Note that due to the use of an RFB/RREF resistor ratio to set
output voltage, the user has relative freedom in selecting
transformer turns ratio to suit a given application. In other
words, “screwball” turns ratios like “1.736:1.0” can scrupulously be avoided! In contrast, simpler ratios of small
12
integers, e.g., 1:1, 2:1, 3:2, etc. can be employed which
yield more freedom in setting total turns and mutual
inductance. Turns ratio can then be chosen on the basis of
desired duty cycle. However, remember that the input supply voltage plus the secondary-to-primary referred version of the flyback pulse (including leakage spike) must
not exceed the allowed output switch breakdown rating.
In situations where the flyback pulse extends beyond the
enable delay time, the output voltage regulation will be
affected to some degree. It is important to realize that the
feedback system has a deliberately limited input range,
roughly ±50mV referred to the RREF node, and this works
to the user’s advantage in rejecting large, i.e., higher voltage leakage spikes. In other words, once a leakage spike is
several volts in amplitude, a further increase in amplitude
has little effect on the feedback system. So the user is
generally advised to arrange the snubber circuit to clamp
at as high a voltage as comfortably possible, observing
switch breakdown, such that leakage spike duration is as
short as possible.
As a rough guide, total leakage inductances of several percent (of mutual inductance) or less may require a snubber,
but exhibit little to no regulation error due to leakage spike
behavior. Inductances from several percent up to perhaps
ten percent cause increasing regulation error.
Severe leakage inductances in the double digit percentage
range should be avoided if at all possible as there is a
potential for abrupt loss of control at high load current.
This curious condition potentially occurs when the leakage spike becomes such a large portion of the flyback
waveform that the processing circuitry is fooled into
thinking that the leakage spike itself is the real flyback
signal! It then reverts to a potentially stable state whereby

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
the top of the leakage spike is the control point, and the
trailing edge of the leakage spike triggers the collapse
detect circuitry. This will typically reduce the output voltage abruptly to a fraction, perhaps between one-third to
two-thirds of its correct value. If load current is reduced
sufficiently, the system will snap back to normal operation. When using transformers with considerable leakage inductance, it is important to exercise this worst-case
check for potential bistability:
degrades load regulation (at least before load compensation is employed).
1. Operate the prototype supply at maximum
expected load current.
2. Temporarily short circuit the output.
Finally, the ADI Applications group is available to
assist in the choice and/or design of the transformer.
Happy Winding!
3. Observe that normal operation is restored.
Output Voltage Error Sources
If the output voltage is found to hang up at an abnormally
low value, the system has a problem. This will usually be
evident by simultaneously monitoring the VSW waveform
on an oscilloscope to observe leakage spike behavior
firsthand. A final note, the susceptibility of the system to
bistable behavior is somewhat a function of the load I/V
characteristics. A load with resistive, i.e., I = V/R behavior
is the most susceptible to bistability. Loads which exhibit
“CMOSsy”, i.e., I = V2/R behavior are less susceptible.
Conventional nonisolated switching power supply ICs
typically have only two substantial sources of output
voltage error—the internal or external resistor divider
network that connects to VOUT and the internal IC reference. The LT1425, which senses the output voltage in
both a dynamic and an isolated manner, exhibits additional
potential error sources to contend with. Some of these
errors are proportional to output voltage, others are fixed
in an absolute millivolt sense. Here is a list of possible
error sources and their effective contribution:
Secondary Leakage Inductance
Bifilar Winding
A bifilar or similar winding technique is a good way to
minimize troublesome leakage inductances. However,
remember that this will increase primary-to-secondary
capacitance and limit the primary-to-secondary breakdown voltage, so bifilar winding is not always practical.
In addition to the previously described effects of leakage
inductance in general, leakage inductance on the secondary in particular exhibits an additional phenomenon. It
forms an inductive divider on the transformer secondary,
that reduces the size of the primary-referred flyback pulse
used for feedback. This will increase the output voltage
target by a similar percentage. Note that unlike leakage
spike behavior, this phenomenon is load independent.
To the extent that the secondary leakage inductance is a
constant percentage of mutual inductance (over manufacturing variations), this can be accommodated by adjusting
the RFB/RREF resistor ratio.
Internal Voltage Reference
Winding Resistance Effects
The LT1425 senses the output voltage from the transformer primary side during the flyback portion of the
cycle. This sensed voltage therefore includes the forward
drop, VF, of the rectifier (usually a Schottky diode). The
nominal VF of this diode should therefore be included
Resistance in either the primary or secondary will act
to reduce overall efficiency (POUT/PIN). Resistance in the
secondary increases effective output impedance which
The internal bandgap voltage reference is, of course, imperfect. Its error, both at 25°C and over temperature is already
included in the specifications for Reference Current.
User Programming Resistors
Output voltage is controlled by the ratio of RFB to RREF.
Both are user supplied external resistors. To the extent
that the resistor ratio differs from the ideal value, the output voltage will be proportionally affected.

in RFB calculations. Lot-to-lot and ambient temperature
variations will show up as output voltage shift/drift.
Secondary Leakage Inductance
Leakage inductance on the transformer secondary
reduces the effective primary-to-secondary turns ratio
(NP/NS) from its ideal value. This will increase the output
voltage target by a similar percentage. To the extent that
secondary leakage inductance is constant from part-topart, this can be accommodated by adjusting the RFB to
RREF resistor ratio.
“collapse,” thereby supporting operation well into discontinuous mode. Nevertheless, there still remain constraints to ultimate low load operation. They relate to the
minimum switch ON time and the minimum enable time.
Discontinuous mode operation will be assumed in the
following theoretical derivations.
As outlined in the Operation section, the LT1425 utilizes
a minimum output switch ON time, tON. This value can be
combined with expected VIN and switching frequency to
yield an expression for minimum delivered power.
Min Power =
Output Impedatnce Error
An additional error source is caused by transformer secondary current flow through the real life nonzero impedances of the output rectifier, transformer secondary and
output capacitor. Because the secondary current only
flows during the off portion of the duty cycle, the effective output impedance equals the “DC” lumped secondary
impedance times the inverse of the off duty cycle. If the
output load current remains relatively constant, or, in less
critical applications, the error may be judged acceptable
and the RFB value adjusted for nominal expected error. In
more demanding applications, output impedance error
may be minimized by the use of the load compensation
function (see Load Compensation).

VIN Sense Error
The LT1425 determines the size of the flyback pulse by
comparing the VSW signal to VIN, through RFB. This comparison is not perfect, in the sense that an offset exists
between the sensing mechanism and the actual VIN. This
is expressed in the data sheet as VIN sense error. This
error is fixed in absolute millivolt terms relative to VOUT
(with the exception that it is reflected to VOUT by any nonunity secondary-to-primary turns ratio).
An additional constraint has to do with the minimum
enable time. The LT1425 derives its output voltage information from the flyback pulse. If the internal minimum
enable time pulse extends beyond the flyback pulse, loss
of regulation will occur. The onset of this condition can
be determined by setting the width of the flyback pulse
equal to the sum of the flyback enable delay, tED, plus the
minimum enable time, tEN. Minimum power delivered to
the load is then:
MINIMUM LOAD CONSIDERATIONS

Note that generally, depending on the particulars of input
and output voltages and transformer inductance, one of
the above constraints will prove more restrictive. In other
words, the minimum load current in a particular application will be either “output switch minimum ON time” constrained, or “minimum flyback pulse time” constrained. (A
final note—LPRI and LSEC refer to transformer inductance
as seen from the primary or secondary side respectively.
This general treatment allows these expressions to be
used when the transformer turns ratio is nonunity.)
MAXIMUM LOAD/SHORT-CIRCUIT CONSIDERATIONS
The LT1425 is a current mode controller. It uses the VC
node voltage as an input to a current comparator which
turns off the output switch on a cycle-by-cycle basis as
this peak current is reached. The internal clamp on the
VC node, nominally 1.9V, then acts as an output switch
peak current limit. This action becomes the switch current
limit specification. The maximum available output power
is then determined by the switch current limit, which is
somewhat duty cycle dependent due to internal slope
compensation action.
Short-circuit conditions are handled by the same mechanism. The output switch turns on, peak current is quickly
reached and the switch is turned off. Because the output switch is only on for a small fraction of the available
period, internal power dissipation is controlled. (The
LT1425 contains an internal overtemperature shutdown
circuit, that disables switch action, just in case.)
While the majority of users will not experience a problem,
there is however, a possibility of loss of current limit under
certain conditions. Remember that the LT1425 exhibits
a minimum switch ON time, irrespective of current trip
point. If the duty cycle exhibited by this minimum ON
time is greater than the ratio of secondary winding voltage (referred-to-primary) divided by input voltage, then
peak current will not be controlled at the nominal value,
and will cycle-by-cycle ratchet up to some higher level.
Expressed mathematically, the requirement to maintain
short-circuit control is:

f = Switching frequency
ISC = Short-circuit output current
VF = Output diode forward voltage at ISC
RSEC = Resistance of transformer secondary
VIN = Input voltage
NSP = Secondary-to-primary turns ratio
(NSEC/NPRI)
Trouble will typically only be encountered in applications
with a relatively high product of input voltage times secondary-to-primary turns ratio. Additionally, several real
world effects such as transformer leakage inductance,
AC winding losses and output switch voltage drop combine to make this simple theoretical calculation a conservative estimate. In cases where short-circuit protection is
mandatory and this theoretical calculation indicates cause
for concern, the prototype should be observed directly
as follows: short the output while observing the VSW signal with an oscilloscope. The measured output switch
ON time can then be compared against the specifications
for minimum tON.
Thermal Considerations
Care should be taken to ensure that the worst-case input
voltage and load current conditions do not cause excessive die temperatures. The narrow 16-pin package is rated
at 75°C/W.

PSW = (ISW)2(RSW)(DC)
RSW = Output switch ON resistance
Total power dissipation of the die is the sum of supply
current times supply voltage plus switch power:
PD(TOTAL) = (IIN • VIN) + PSW
FREQUENCY COMPENSATION
Loop frequency compensation is performed by connecting a capacitor from the output of the error amplifier
(VC pin) to ground. An additional series resistor, often
required in traditional current mode switcher controllers
is usually not required, and can even prove detrimental.
The phase margin improvement traditionally offered by
this extra resistor will usually be already accomplished
by the nonzero secondary circuit impedance, which adds
a “zero” to the loop response.
In further contrast to traditional current mode switchers,
VC pin ripple is generally not an issue with the LT1425.
The dynamic nature of the clamped feedback amplifier
forms an effective track/hold type response, whereby the
VC voltage changes during the flyback pulse, but is then
“held” during the subsequent “switch ON” portion of the
16
next cycle. This action naturally holds the VC voltage stable during the current comparator sense action (current
mode switching).
PCB LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
For maximum efficiency, switch rise and fall times are
made as short as practical. To prevent radiation and high
frequency resonance problems, proper layout of the components connected to the IC is essential, especially the
power paths (primary and secondary). B field (magnetic)
radiation is minimized by keeping output diode, switch pin
and output bypass capacitor leads as short as possible.
E field radiation is kept low by minimizing the length and
area of all traces connected to the switch pin. A ground
plane should always be used under the switcher circuitry
to prevent interplane coupling.
The high speed switching current paths are shown schematically in Figure 2. Minimum lead length in these paths
are essential to ensure clean switching and minimal EMI.
The path containing the input capacitor, transformer primary, output switch, the path containing the transformer
secondary, output diode and output capacitor are the only
ones containing nanosecond rise and fall times. Keep
these paths as short as possible.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
The following are several application examples of the
LT1425. The first shows an isolated LAN supply which
provides –9V with ±1% load regulation for output currents of 0mA to 250mA. An alternate transformer, the
Coiltronics part, provides a complete PCMCIA Type II
height solution. The LT1425 offers excellent load regulation and fast dynamic response not found in similar
isolated flyback schemes.
input voltage, so a bootstrap winding is used. D1, D2, Q2
and Q3 and associated components for the necessary
start-up circuitry with hysteresis. When C1 charges to
15V, switching begins and the bootstrap winding begins
to supply power before C1 has a chance to discharge to
11V. Feedback voltage is fed directly through a resistor
divider to the RREF pin. The load compensation circuitry
is bypassed, resulting in ±5% load regulation.
The next example shows a ±15V supply with 1.5kV of
isolation. The sum of line/load/cross regulation is better
than ±3%. Full load efficiency is between 72% (VIN = 5V)
and 80% (VIN = 15V). The isolation is ultimately limited
only by bobbin selection and transformer construction.
Finally, the “12V to 5V Isolated Converter” is similar to
the previous example in that a cascoded MOSFET is used
to prevent voltage breakdown of the output switch. But
because the nominal 12V input is well within the range
of the VIN pin, no bootstrap winding is required and
normal load compensation function is provided. Diode
D1, transistor Q1 and associated components provide
an undervoltage lockout function via the SHDN pin. The
off-the-shelf transformer provides up to 5W of isolated
regulated power.
The “–48V to 5V Isolated Telecom Supply” uses an external cascoded 200V MOSFET to extend the LT1425’s 35V
maximum switch voltage limit. The input voltage range
(–36V to –72V) also exceeds the LT1425’s 20V maximum
