DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 2199A-A is a 360W isolated for-
ward converter with synchronous rectification featuring
the LTC3765/LTC3766. It produces a regulated 12V, 30A
output from an input voltage range of 36V to 60V.
This circuit was designed to demonstrate the high levels
of performance, efficiency, and small solution size attain-
able using these parts in an active-clamp-reset forward
converter power supply, suitable for telecom, industrial,
and other applications. It has a 4.7in
area. Synchronous rectification helps to attain an effi-
