APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
LT3825
Synchronous Gate Drive
There are several different ways to drive the synchronous
gate MOSFET. Full converter isolation requires the synchro-
nous gate drive to be isolated. This is usually accomplished
by way of a pulse transformer. Usually the pulse driver is
used to drive a buffer on the secondary as shown in the
application on the front page of this data sheet.
However, other schemes are possible. There are gate
drivers and secondary side synchronous controllers avail-
able that provide the buffer function as well as additional
features.
Capacitor Selection
In a flyback converter, the input and output current flows
in pulses, placing severe demands on the input and output
filter capacitors. The input and output filter capacitors
are selected based on RMS current ratings and ripple
voltage.
Select an input capacitor with a ripple current rating
greater than:

ESR
Keep input capacitor series resistance (ESR) and induc-
tance (ESL) small, as they affect electromagnetic interfer-
ence suppression. In some instances, high ESR can also
produce stability problems because flyback converters
exhibit a negative input resistance characteristic. Refer
to Application Note 19 for more information.
The output capacitor is sized to handle the ripple current
and to ensure acceptable output voltage ripple. The out-
put capacitor should have an RMS current rating greater
than:
This is calculated for each output in a multiple winding
application.
ESR and ESL along with bulk capacitance directly affect
the output voltage ripple. The waveforms for a typical
flyback converter are illustrated in Figure 7.
The maximum acceptable ripple voltage (expressed as a
percentage of the output voltage) is used to establish a
starting point for the capacitor values. For the purpose
of simplicity we will choose 2% for the maximum output
ripple, divided equally between the ESR step and the
