DESCRIPTIO
®
The LT
grated ICs containing complete charger and IGBT drive
functions. The patented control technique of the LT3485-x
allows it to use extremely small transformers. Output voltage
detection requires no external circuitry. The turns ratio of the
transformer controls the final charge voltage. While charging,
the output voltage on the capacitor may be monitored by a
microcontroller from the monitor pin. Each device contains an
on-chip high voltage NPN power switch, which can withstand
negative voltages on the switch pin without an external
Schottky diode. The device features a V
the use of two AA cells to charge the capacitor. The internal
circuitry operates from the VIN pin. The LT3485-0 has a
primary current limit of 1.4A, whereas the LT3485-3, LT3485-2,
and LT3485-1 have current limits of 2A, 1A and 0.7A respectively. These different current limits result in tightly controlled
input currents.
The CHARGE pin gives full control of the part to the user.
Driving CHARGE low puts the part in shutdown. The DONE pin
indicates when the part has completed charging. The LT3485
series of parts are housed in a leadless (3mm × 3mm) DFN
package.

LT3485-2/LT3485-3
U
The LT3485-0/LT3485-1/LT3485-2/LT3485-3 are designed
to charge photoflash capacitors quickly and efficiently. The
operation of the part can be best understood by referring
to Figure 1. When the CHARGE pin is first driven high, a one
shot sets both SR latches in the correct state. The power
NPN device, Q1, turns on and current begins ramping up
in the primary of transformer T1. Comparator A1 monitors
the switch current and when the peak current reaches 2A
(LT3485-3), 1.4A (LT3485-0), 1A (LT3485-2) or 0.7A
(LT3485-1), Q1 is turned off. Since T1 is utilized as a flyback
transformer, the flyback pulse on the SW pin will cause the
output of A3 to be high. The voltage on the SW pin needs
to be at least 60mV higher than V
for this to happen.
BAT
During this phase, current is delivered to the photoflash
capacitor via the secondary and diode D1. As the secondary current decreases to zero, the SW pin voltage will begin
to collapse. When the SW pin voltage drops to 60mV above
V
or lower, the output of A3 (DCM Comparator) will go
BAT
low. This fires a one shot which turns Q1 back on. This cycle
will continue to deliver power to the output.
Output voltage detection is accomplished via R2, R1, Q2,
and comparator A2 (V
Comparator). Resistors R1 and
OUT
R2 are sized so that when the SW voltage is 31.5V above
V
, the output of A2 goes high which resets the master
BAT
latch. This disables Q1 and halts power delivery. NPN
transistor Q3 is turned on pulling the DONE pin low,
indicating that the part has finished charging. Power
delivery can only be restarted by toggling the CHARGE pin.
The CHARGE pin gives full control of the part to the user.
The charging can be halted at any time by bringing the
CHARGE pin low. Only when the final output voltage is
reached will the DONE pin go low. Figure 2 shows these
various modes in action. When CHARGE is first brought
high, charging commences. When CHARGE is brought
low during charging, the part goes into shutdown and
no longer rises. When CHARGE is brought high
V
OUT
again, charging resumes. When the target V
voltage is
OUT
reached, the DONE pin goes low and charging stops.
Finally the CHARGE pin is brought low again so the part
enters shutdown and the DONE pin goes high.
Both V
and VIN have undervoltage lockout (UVLO).
BAT
When one of these pins goes below its UVLO voltage, the
DONE pin goes low. With an insufficient bypass capacitor
on V
or VIN, the ripple on the pin is likely to activate
BAT
UVLO and terminate the charge. The applications circuits
in the data sheet suggest values adequate for most
applications.
The LT3485 V
pin functions as an output to a
MONT
microcontroller to communicate the progress of the charge.
The V
pin starts to function at about 0.2V, which
MONT
corresponds to 64V with a turns ratio of 10.2. When the
V
pin is at 1V, the DONE pin goes low and the
MONT
charging terminates. The pin’s output is only valid when
the part is charging.
The LT3485 also integrates an IGBT drive. The IGBTPWR
pin supplies the power. The IGBT output goes high when
IGBTIN goes high and conversely goes low when IGBTIN
goes low. While IGBTIN is low, the IGBT drive draws no
quiescent current from IGBTPWR.

Choosing the Right Device
(LT3485-0/LT3485-1/LT3485-2/LT3485-3)
The only difference between the four versions of the
LT3485 is the peak current level. For the fastest possible
charge time, use the LT3485-3. The LT3485-1 has the
lowest peak current capability, and is designed for
applications that need a more limited drain on the
batteries. Due to the lower peak current, the LT3485-1 can
use a physically smaller transformer. The LT3485-0 and
LT3485-2 have a current limit in between that of the
LT3485-3 and the LT3485-1.
Transformer Design
The flyback transformer is a key element for any
LT3485-0/LT3485-1/LT3485-2/LT3485-3 design. It must
be designed carefully and checked that it does not cause
excessive current or voltage on any pin of the part. The
main parameters that need to be designed are shown in
Table 1.
The first transformer parameter that needs to be set is the
turns ratio N. The LT3485-0/LT3485-1/LT3485-2/LT34853 accomplish output voltage detection by monitoring the
flyback waveform on the SW pin. When the SW voltage
reaches 31.5V higher than the V
halt power delivery. Thus, the choice of N sets the target
output voltage as it changes the amplitude of the reflected
voltage from the output to the SW pin. Choose N according to the following equation:

OUT
in the numerator is used to include the effect of the voltage
drop across the output diode(s).
Thus for a 320V output, N should be 322/31.5 or 10.2. For
a 300V output, choose N equal to 302/31.5 or 9.6.
The next parameter that needs to be set is the primary
inductance, L
. Choose L

L
needs to be equal or larger than this value to ensure
PRI
that the LT3485-0/LT3485-1/LT3485-2/LT3485-3 has adequate time to respond to the flyback waveform.
All other parameters need to meet or exceed the recommended limits as shown in Table 1. A particularly important parameter is the leakage inductance, L
. When the
LEAK
power switch of the LT3485-0/LT3485-1/LT3485-2/
LT3485-3 turns off, the leakage inductance on the primary of the transformer causes a voltage spike to occur
on the SW pin. The height of this spike must not exceed40V, even though the absolute maximum rating of the SW
Pin is 50V. The 50V absolute maximum rating is a DC
blocking voltage specification, which assumes that the
current in the power NPN is zero. Figure 3 shows the SW
voltage waveform for the circuit of Figure 8 (LT3485-0).
Table 1. Recommended Transformer Parameters
TYPICAL RANGETYPICAL RANGETYPICAL RANGETYPICAL RANGE
Note that the absolute maximum rating of the SW pin is
not ex
ceeded. Make sure to check the SW voltage waveform with V
worst case condition for SW voltage. Figure 4 shows the
various limits on the SW voltage during switch turn off.
It is important not to minimize the leakage inductance to
a very low level. Although this would result in a very low
leakage spike on the SW pin, the parasitic capacitance of
the transformer would become large. This will adversely
affect the charge time of the photoflash circuit.
Linear Technology has worked with several leading magnetic component manufacturers to produce pre-designed
flyback transformers for use with the LT3485-0/LT34851/LT3485-2/LT3485-3. Table 2 shows the details of several of these transformers.

IGBT Drive
The IGBT is a high current switch for the 100A+ current
through the photoflash lamp. To create a redeye effect or
to adjust the light output, the lamp current needs to be
stopped, or quenched, with an IGBT before discharging
the photoflash capacitor fully. The IGBT device also controls the 4kV trigger pulse required to ionize the xenon gas
in the photoflash lamp. Figure 5 is a schematic of a fully
functional photoflash application with the LT3485 serving
as the IGBT drive. An IGBT drive charges the gate capacitance to start the flash. The IGBT drive does not need to
pull-up the gate fast because of the inherently slow nature
of the IGBT. A rise time of 2µs is sufficient to charge the
gate of the IGBT and create a trigger pulse. With slower
rise times, the trigger circuitry will not have a fast enough
edge to create the required 4kV pulse. The fall time of the
IGBT drive is critical to the safe operation of the IGBT. The
IGBT gate is a network of resistors and capacitors, as
shown in Figure 6. When the gate terminal is pulled low,

the capacitance closest to the terminal goes low but the
capacitance further from the terminal remains high. This
causes a small portion of the device to handle the full 100A
of current, which quickly destroys the device. The pull
down circuitry needs to pull down slower than the internal
RC time constant in the gate of the IGBT. This is easily
accomplished with a resistor in series with the IGBT drive,
which is integrated into the LT3485.
The LT3485’s integrated drive circuit is independent of the
charging function. The IGBT section draws its power from
the IGBTPWR pin. The rise and fall times are measured
using a 4000pF output capacitor. The typical 10% to 90%
rise time is 270ns. The drive pulls high to IGBTPWR. The
typical 90% to 10% fall time is 180ns. The drive pulls
down to 300mV. The IGBT driver pulls a peak of 150mA
when driving an IGBT and 2mA of quiescent current. In the
low state, the IGBT’s quiescent current is less than 0.1µA.
Table 4 is a list of recommended IGBT devices for strobe
applications. These three devices are all packaged in
8-lead TSSOP packages.
V
Monitor
OUT
The voltage output monitor is a new feature to monitor the
progress of capacitor charging with a microcontroller.
The monitor uses the flyback waveform to output a
voltage proportional to the output of the flyback converter.
The output monitor voltage range for the pin is 0V to 1V.
The 1V output corresponds with the charge cycle terminating and the DONE pin going low. The voltage output
monitor is only functional when the circuit is charging
(DONE and CHARGE are high.)
The high voltage operation of the LT3485-0/LT3485-1/
LT3485-2/LT3485-3 demands careful attention to board
layout. You will not get advertised performance with
careless layout. Figure 7 shows the recommended component placement. Keep the area for the high voltage end
of the secondary as small as possible. Also note the larger
than minimum spacing for all high voltage nodes in order

to meet breakdown voltage requirements for the circuit

It is imperative to keep the electrical path formed
by C1, the primary of T1, and the LT3485-0/LT3485-1/
LT3485-2/LT3485-3 as short as possible.
If this path is
haphazardly made long, it will effectively increase the
leakage inductance of T1, which may result in an overvoltage condition on the SW pin.
