LT3512 Monolithic High Voltage Isolated Flyback Converter FEATURES n n n n n n n n n DESCRIPTION The LT3512 is a high voltage monolithic switching regulator specifically designed for the isolated flyback topology. No third winding or opto-isolator is required for regulation as the part senses output voltage directly from the primary-side flyback waveform. The device integrates a 420mA, 150V power switch, high voltage circuitry, and control into a high voltage 16-lead MSOP package with four leads removed. The LT3512 operates from an input voltage range of 4.5V to 100V and delivers up to 4.5W of isolated output power. Two external resistors and the transformer turns ratio easily set the output voltage. Off-the-shelf transformers are available for several applications. The high level of integration and the use of boundary mode operation results in a simple, clean, tightly regulated application solution to the traditionally tough problem of isolated power delivery.

The EN/ UVLO pin is used to start up the LT3512. Pull the pin to 0V to shut down the LT3512. This pin has an accurate 1.21V threshold and can be used to program an undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold using a resistor divider from supply to ground. A 2.6μA pin current hysteresis allows the programming of undervoltage lockout (UVLO) hysteresis. EN/UVLO can be directly connected to VIN. If left open circuit the part will not power up. VIN (Pin 3): Input Supply Pin. This pin supplies current to the internal start-up circuitry, and serves as a reference voltage for the DCM comparator and feedback circuitry. Must be locally bypassed with a capacitor. GND (Pin 5, 8, 9): Ground Pins. All three pins should be tied directly to the local ground plane. BIAS (Pin 6): Bias Voltage. This pin supplies current to the switch driver and internal circuitry of the LT3512. This pin may also be connected to VIN if a third winding is not used and if VIN < 20V. The part can operate down to 4.5V when BIAS and VIN are connected together. If a third winding is used, the BIAS voltage should be lower than the input voltage and greater than 3.3V for proper operation. BIAS must be bypassed with a 4.7μF capacitor placed close to the pin. VC (Pin 10): Compensation Pin for Internal Error Amplifier. Connect a series RC from this pin to ground to compensate the switching regulator. An additional 100pF capacitor from this pin to ground helps eliminate noise. TC (Pin 11): Output Voltage Temperature Compensation. Connect a resistor to ground to produce a current proportional to absolute temperature to be sourced into the RREF node. ITC = 0.55V/RTC. RREF (Pin 12): Input Pin for External Ground-Referred Reference Resistor. The resistor at this pin should be 10k. For nonisolated applications, a traditional resistor voltage divider from VOUT may be connected to this pin. RFB (Pin 14): Input Pin for External Feedback Resistor. This pin is connected to the transformer primary (VSW). The ratio of this resistor to the RREF resistor, times the internal bandgap reference, determines the output voltage (plus the effect of any non-unity transformer turns ratio). For nonisolated applications, this pin should be connected to VIN. SW (Pin 16): Switch Pin. Collector of the internal power switch. Minimize trace area at this pin to minimize EMI and voltage spikes. 3512f 5 LT3512 BLOCK DIAGRAM D1 VIN C1 L1A R3 N:1 VIN Q3 TC R5 I2 RREF R4 BIAS C4 R1 EN/UVLO R2 3μA Q4 R6 C3 3512 BD T1 L1B C2 VOUT + VOUT – TC CURRENT RFB Q2 FLYBACK ERROR AMP CURRENT COMPARATOR ONE SHOT A2 SW – + 1.2V – gm + + VIN – A1 + S S MASTER LATCH R Q V1 120mV DRIVER BIAS – Q1 A4 + – 1.21V + A5 – RSENSE 0.01Ω GND INTERNAL REFERENCE AND REGULATORS OSCILLATOR VC 3512f 6 LT3512 OPERATION The LT3512 is a current mode switching regulator IC designed specifically for the isolated flyback topology. The key problem in isolated topologies is how to communicate information regarding the output voltage from the isolated secondary side of the transformer to the primary side. Historically, optoisolators or extra transformer windings communicate this information across the transformer. Optoisolator circuits waste output power, and the extra components increase the cost and physical size of the power supply. Optoisolators can also exhibit trouble due to limited dynamic response, nonlinearity, unit-to-unit variation and aging over life. Circuits employing an extra transformer winding also exhibit deficiencies. Using an extra winding adds to the transformer’s physical size and cost, and dynamic response is often mediocre. In the LT3512, the primary-side flyback pulse provides information about the isolated output voltage. In this manner, neither optoisolator nor extra transformer winding is required for regulation. Two resistors program the output voltage. Since this IC operates in boundary mode, the part calculates output voltage from the switch pin when the secondary current is almost zero. The Block Diagram shows an overall view of the system. Many of the blocks are similar to those found in traditional switching regulators including internal bias regulator, oscillator, logic, current amplifier, current comparator, driver, and output switch. The novel sections include a special flyback error amplifier and a temperature compensation circuit. In addition, the logic system contains additional logic for boundary mode operation. The LT3512 features boundary mode control, where the part operates at the boundary between continuous conduction mode and discontinuous conduction mode. The VC pin controls the current level just as it does in normal current mode operation, but instead of turning the switch on at the start of the oscillator period, the part turns on the switch when the secondary-side winding current is zero. Boundary Mode Operation Boundary mode is a variable frequency, current mode switching scheme. The switch turns on and the inductor current increases until a VC pin controlled current limit. After the switch turns off, the voltage on the SW pin rises to the output voltage divided by the secondary-to-primary transformer turns ratio plus the input voltage. When the secondary current through the diode falls to zero, the SW pin voltage falls below VIN. A discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) comparator detects this event and turns the switch back on. Boundary mode returns the secondary current to zero every cycle, so parasitic resistive voltage drops do not cause load regulation errors. Boundary mode also allows the use of a smaller transformer compared to continuous conduction mode and does not exhibit subharmonic oscillation. At low output currents, the LT3512 delays turning on the switch, and thus operates in discontinuous mode. Unlike traditional flyback converters, the switch has to turn on to update the output voltage information. Below 0.6V on the VC pin, the current comparator level decreases to its minimum value, and the internal oscillator frequency decreases. With the decrease of the internal oscillator, the part starts to operate in DCM. The output current is able to decrease while still allowing a minimum switch off time for the flyback error amplifier. The typical minimum internal oscillator frequency with VC equal to 0V is 40kHz. 3512f 7 LT3512 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION PSUEDO DC THEORY In the Block Diagram, RREF (R4) and RFB (R3) are external resistors used to program the output voltage. The LT3512 operates similar to traditional current mode switchers, except in the use of a unique error amplifier, which derives its feedback information from the flyback pulse. Operation is as follows: when the output switch, Q1, 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: VFLBK = (VOUT + VF + ISEC • ESR) • NPS VF = D1 forward voltage ISEC = Transformer secondary current ESR = Total impedance of secondary circuit NPS = Transformer effective primary-to-secondary turns ratio RFB and Q2 convert the flyback voltage into a current. Nearly all of this current flows through RREF to form a groundreferred voltage. The resulting voltage forms the input to the flyback error amplifier. The flyback error amplifier samples the voltage information when the secondary side winding current is zero. The bandgap voltage, 1.20V, acts as the reference for the flyback error amplifier. The relatively high gain in the overall loop will then cause the voltage at RREF to be nearly equal to the bandgap reference voltage VBG. The resulting relationship between VFLBK and VBG approximately equals: ⎛ VFLBK ⎞ VBG ⎛R ⎞ o r VFLBK = VBG ⎜ FB ⎟ ⎜ R ⎟=R ⎝ FB ⎠ ⎝ RREF ⎠ REF VBG = Internal bandgap reference Combination of the preceding expression with earlier derivation of VFLBK results in the following equation: ⎛ R ⎞⎛ 1 ⎞ VOUT = VBG ⎜ FB ⎟ ⎜ − VF − ISEC (ESR) ⎝ RREF ⎠ ⎝ NPS ⎟ ⎠ The expression defines VOUT in terms of the internal reference, programming resistors, transformer turns ratio and diode forward voltage drop. Additionally, it includes the effect of nonzero secondary output impedance (ESR). Boundary control mode minimizes the effect of this impedance term. Temperature Compensation The first term in the VOUT equation does not have temperature dependence, but the diode forward drop has a significant negative temperature coefficient. A positive temperature coefficient current source connects to the RREF pin to compensate. A resistor to ground from the TC pin sets the compensation current. The following equation explains the cancellation of the temperature coefficient: R 1 δ VF = − FB • • NPS δT R TC −R 1 R TC = FB • NPS δ VF / δ T (δVTC / δT) = 2mV VTC = 0.55V Experimentally verify the resulting value of RTC and adjust as necessary to achieve optimal regulation over temperature. The addition of a temperature coefficient current modifies the expression of output voltage as follows: ⎛ R ⎞⎛ 1 ⎞ VOUT = VBG ⎜ FB ⎟ ⎜ − VF ⎝ RREF ⎠ ⎝ NPS ⎟ ⎠ ⎛V ⎞ R − ⎜ TC ⎟ • FB – ISEC (ESR) ⎝ R TC ⎠ NPS Output Power A flyback converter has a complicated relationship between the input and output current compared to a buck or a boost. A boost has a relatively constant maximum input current regardless of input voltage and a buck has a relatively constant maximum output current regardless of input voltage. This is due to the continuous nonswitching behavior of the two currents. A flyback converter has both discontinuous input and output currents which makes it 3512f δ VTC or, δT δV R • TC ≈ FB δT NPS (δVF / δT) = Diode’s forward voltage temperature coefficient 8 LT3512 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION similar to a nonisolated buck-boost. The duty cycle will affect the input and output currents, making it hard to predict output power. In addition, the winding ratio can be changed to multiply the output current at the expense of a higher switch voltage. The graphs in Figures 1-4 show the typical maximum output power possible for the output voltages 3.3V, 5V, 12V and 24V. The maximum power output curve is the calculated output power if the switch voltage is 100V during the off-time. 50V of margin is left for leakage voltage spike. To achieve this power level at a given input, a winding ratio value must be calculated to stress the switch to 100V, resulting in some odd ratio values. The following curves are examples of common winding ratio values and the amount of output power at given input voltages. 5.0 N = 15 4.0 OUTPUT POWER (W) N = NPS(MAX) N = 12 N = 10 N=8 N=6 2.0 N=4 OUTPUT POWER (W) One design example would be a 5V output converter with a minimum input voltage of 36V and a maximum input voltage of 72V. A four-to-one winding ratio fits this design example perfectly and outputs close to 3.0W at 72V but lowers to 2.5W at 36V.

Carefully consider the following information in addition to the traditional guidelines associated with high frequency isolated power supply transformer design. Linear Technology has worked with several leading magnetic component manufacturers to produce pre-designed flyback transformers for use with the LT3512. Table 1 shows the details of these transformers. Turns Ratio Note that when using an RFB/RREF resistor ratio to set output voltage, the user has relative freedom in selecting a transformer turns ratio to suit a given application. In contrast, the use of simple ratios of small integers, e.g., 1:1, 2:1, 3:2, provides more freedom in setting total turns and mutual inductance. Typically, choose the transformer turns to maximize available output power. For low output voltages (3.3V or 5V), a N:1 turns ratio can be used with multiple primary windings relative to the secondary to maximize the transformer’s current gain (and output power). However, remember that the SW pin sees a voltage that is equal to the maximum input supply voltage plus the output voltage multiplied by the turns ratio. In addition, leakage inductance will cause a voltage spike (VLEAKAGE) on top of this reflected voltage. This total quantity needs to remain below the absolute maximum rating of the SW pin to prevent breakdown of the internal power switch. Together these conditions place an upper limit on the turns ratio, N, for a given application. Choose a turns ratio low enough to ensure: N< 150V – VIN(MAX) – VLEAKAGE VOUT + VF For lower output power levels, choose a 1:1 or 1:N transformer for the absolute smallest transformer size. A 1:N transformer will minimize the magnetizing inductance (and minimize size), but will also limit the available output power. A higher 1:N turns ratio makes it possible to have very high output voltages without exceeding the breakdown voltage of the internal power switch. The turns ratio is an important element in the isolated feedback scheme. Make sure the transformer manufacturer guarantees turns ratio accuracy within ±1%. Saturation Current The current in the transformer windings should not exceed its rated saturation current. Energy injected once the core is saturated will not be transferred to the secondary and will instead be dissipated in the core. Information on saturation current should be provided by the transformer manufacturers. Table 1 lists the saturation current of the transformers designed for use with the LT3512. Primary Inductance Requirements The LT3512 obtains output voltage information from the reflected output voltage on the switch pin. The conduction of secondary winding current reflects the output voltage on the primary. The sampling circuitry needs a minimum of 400ns to settle and sample the reflected output voltage. In order to ensure proper sampling, the secondary winding needs to conduct current for a minimum of 400ns. The following equation gives the minimum value for primaryside magnetizing inductance: LPRI ≥ tOFF(MIN) •NPS • ( VOUT + VF ) IPEAK(MIN) tOFF(MIN) = 400ns IPEAK(MIN) = 100mA Leakage Inductance and Clamp Circuits Transformer leakage inductance (on either the primary or secondary) causes a voltage spike to appear at the primary after the output switch turns off. This spike is increasingly prominent at higher load currents where more stored energy must be dissipated. When designing an application, 3512f For larger N:1 values, a transformer with a larger physical size is needed to deliver additional current and provide a large enough inductance value to ensure that the off-time is long enough to accurately measure the output voltage. For larger N:1 values, choose a transformer with a larger physical size to deliver additional current. In addition, choose a large enough inductance value to ensure that the off-time is long enough to measure the output voltage. 11 LT3512 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION adequate margin should be kept for the effect of leakage voltage spikes. In most cases the reflected output voltage on the primary plus VIN should be kept below 100V. This leaves at least 50V of margin for the leakage spike across line and load conditions. A larger voltage margin will be needed for poorly wound transformers or for excessive leakage inductance. Figure 5 illustrates this point. Minimize transformer leakage inductance. A clamp circuit is recommended for most applications. Two circuits that can protect the internal power switch include the RCD (resistor-capacitor-diode) clamp and the DZ (diode-Zener) clamp. The clamp circuits dissipate the stored energy in the leakage inductance. The DZ clamp is the recommended clamp for the LT3512. Simplicity of design, high clamp voltages, and low power levels make the DZ clamp the preferred solution. Additionally, a DZ clamp ensures well defined and consistent clamping voltages. Figure 5 shows the clamp effect on the switch waveform and Figure 6 shows the connection of the DZ clamp. VSW 72V The diode needs to handle the peak switch current of the switch which was determined to be 0.45A. A 100V, 1.0A diode from Diodes Inc. (DFLS1100) is chosen. Step 7: Compensation. Compensation will be optimized towards the end of the design procedure. Connect a resistor and capacitor from the VC node to ground. Use a 15k resistor and a 4.7nF capacitor. Step 8: Select RFB and RTC Resistors. Use the following equations to choose starting values for RFB and RTC. Set RREF to 10k. RFB = Step 9: Adjust RFB based on output voltage. Power up the application with application components connected and measure the regulated output voltage. Readjust RFB based on the measured output voltage. RFB(NEW) = Example: RFB(NEW) = 15V • 267k = 237k 16.7V VOUT VOUT(MEAS) •RFB(OLD) Step 10: Remove RTC and measure output voltage over temperature. Measure output voltage in a controlled temperature environment like an oven to determine the output temperature coefficient. Measure output voltage at a consistent load current and input voltage, across the temperature range of operation. This procedure will optimize line and load regulation over temperature. Calculate the temperature coefficient of VOUT : ΔVOUT VOUT(HOT) – VOUT(COLD) = ΔTemp THOT(°C) – TCOLD(°C) Example: VOUT measured at 200mA and 48VIN ΔVOUT 15.42V – 15.02V = = 2.26mV °C ΔTemp 125°C – ( −50°C) ( VOUT + VF + 0.55V ) •NPS •RREF 1.2V RFB NPS RREF = 10k R TC = Example: RFB = R TC = (15 + 0.5 + 0.55V ) • 2 • 10k = 267k 1.2V 267k = 133k 2 3512f 18 LT3512 APPLICATIONS INFORMATION Step 11: Calculate new value for RTC. R TC(NEW) = RFB 1.85mV °C • ΔVOUT NPS ΔTemp Step 15: Ensure minimum load. Check minimum load requirement at maximum input voltage. The minimum load occurs at the point where the output voltage begins to climb up as the converter delivers more energy than what is consumed at the output. Example: 237k 1.85 • = 97.6k 2 2.26 The minimum load at an input voltage of 72V is: 11mA Step 16: EN/UVLO resistor values. Determine amount of hysterysis required. Voltage hysteresis = 2.6μA • R1 Example: Choose 2V of hysteresis. 15V • 237k = 243k 14.7V R1= 2V = 768k 2.6µA Example: R TC(NEW) = Step 12: Place new value for RTC, measure VOUT , and readjust RFB due to RTC change. RFB(NEW) = Example: RFB(NEW) = VOUT VOUT(MEAS) •RFB(OLD) Step 13: Verify new values of RFB and RTC over temperature. Measure output voltage over temperature with RTC connected. Step 14: Optimize compensation. Now that values for RFB and RTC are fixed, optimize the compensation. Compensation should be optimized for transient response to load steps on the output. Check transient response across the load range. Example: The optimal compensation for the application is: RC = 18.7k, CC = 4.7nF Determine UVLO Threshold. 1.2V • (R1+ R2) R2 1.2V •R1 R2 = VIN(UVLO,FALLING) – 1.2V VIN(UVLO,FALLING) = Set UVLO falling threshold to 30V. R2 = 1.2V • 768k = 32.4k 30V – 1.2V 1.2V • (R1+ R2) VIN(UVLO,FALLING) = R2 1.2V • ( 768k + 32.4k ) = = 30V 32.4k VIN(UVLO,RISING) = VIN(UVLO,FALLING) + 2.6μA • R1 = 30V + 2.6μA • 768k = 32V 3512f 19 LT3512 TYPICAL APPLICATIONS 48V to 5V Isolated Flyback Converter VIN 36V TO 72V 4:1:1 C1 1μF R1 1M EN/UVLO R2 43.2k LT3512 RFB RREF R3 169k R4 10k D3 VIN Z1 D1 VOUT+ 5V 0.5A C4 47μF VOUT– C1: TAIYO YUDEN HMK316B7105KL-T C3: TAIYO YUDEN EMK212B7475KG C4: TAIYO YUDEN LMK325B7476MM-TR D1: DIODES INC.
