Linear Technology LT3748 Isolated Flyback Controller Datasheet
The document introduces the LT3748 as a switching regulator controller specifically designed for flyback topology applications. It eliminates the need for third windings or opto-isolators by inferring the isolated output voltage directly from the primary-side flyback waveform.
Key features include boundary mode control (critical conduction mode) which improves load regulation, an internal gate driver capable of 1.9A average current, and a low-dropout regulator for the INTVcc pin. The device supports high-temperature operation in various grades and includes over-current protection.
