The LTC
fier driver designed to be used in isolated forward con-
verter power supplies. The chip drives N-channel rectifier
MOSFETs and accepts pulse sychronization from the
primary-side controller via a pulse transformer.
The LTC3900 incorporates a full range of protection for the
external MOSFETs. A programmable timeout function is
included that disables both drivers when the synchroniza-
tion signal is missing or incorrect. Additionally, the chip
senses the output inductor current through the drain-source
resistance of the catch MOSFET, shutting off the MOSFET
if the inductor current reverses. The LTC3900 also shuts
off the drivers if the supply voltage is too low.
