DESCRIPTION
Demonstration circuit 1803A is a monolithic high voltage
isolated fl yback converter featuring the LT
circuit is designed for a 5V isolated output from an input
voltage range of 36V to 75V. The maximum output current
is 500mA. V
can be lower if output current is less than
IN
500mA. The circuit doesn't require an opto-isolator due to
the output voltage being sensed directly from the primary
side transformer winding. A third winding is used to bias
the LT3512 for highest effi ciency.
The fl yback converter requires a minimum loading to
maintain good regulation. A Zener diode is placed between
+
V
and V
to clamp output voltage to ~7.5V if mini-

OUT
mum load requirement is not met. Depending on the input
voltage and the output regulation requirement, a 20mA to
30mA minimum load is usually suffi cient.
The demo circuit uses a diode-Zener clamp to limit the
peak spike voltage due to transformer leakage inductance.
A diode-Zener clamp is more effi cient than a RCD clamp.
The LT3512 operates in boundary mode and also provides
output voltage temperature compensation.
