DESCRIPTION
®
The LT
1425 is a monolithic high power switching regu-
lator specifically designed for the isolated flyback topol-
ogy. 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.
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 shut-
down mode reduces total supply current to 15µA for
standby operation.
