Demonstration circuit 2199A-A is a 360W isolated forward 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

OPERATING PRINCIPLES
The LTC3765 active clamp forward controller and gate
driver is used on the primary and provides start-up, gate
drive, and protection functions. Once start-up is accom
plished, the LTC3766 high efficiency, secondary-side
synchronous forward controller takes over, and provides
the LTC3765 with timing information and bias power
through a small pulse transformer.
When input voltage is applied, the LTC3765 commences
soft-start of the output voltage. When the output reaches
the RUN threshold, the LTC3766 comes alive and takes
control by sending encoded PWM gate pulses to the
LTC3765 through T2. These pulses also provide primary
bias power efficiently over a wide input voltage range.
The transition from primary to secondary control occurs
at some fraction of the nominal output voltage. From then
on, operation and design is reduced to that of a simple
-

buck converter. Secondary control eliminates delays, tames
large-signal overshoot, and reduces output capacitance
needed to meet transient response requirements.
An optional LC filter stage on the input lowers RMS input
current. The filter must have output impedance that is less
than the converter input impedance to assure stability.
This may require a damping impedance, which is provided
by R1. (See Linear Technology Application Note 19 for a
discussion of input filter stability.) R1 is coupled through
a tiny 2mm × 2mm inductor L1, and provides damping
with arbitrarily low source impedance. For bench testing,
an electrolytic capacitor has been added at the input ter
minals to provide suitable ripple current capability. The
