LT3750 Capacitor Charger Controller UFEATURESDESCRIPTIO ■ Charges Any Size Capacitor The LT®3750 is a flyback converter designed to rapidly ■ Easily Adjustable Output Voltage charge large capacitors to a user-adjustable target volt- ■ Drives High Current NMOS FETs age. A patented boundary mode control scheme* mini- ■ Primary-Side Sense—No Output Voltage Divider mizes transition losses and reduces transformer size. The Necessary transformer turns ratio and two external resistors easily ■ Wide Input Range: 3V to 24V adjust the output voltage.* A low 78mV current sense ■ Drives Gate to VCC – 2V accurately limits peak switch current and also helps to ■ Available in 10-Lead MS Package maximize efficiency. With a wide input voltage range, the U LT3750 can operate from a variety of power sources. A APPLICATIO S typical application can charge a 100µF capacitor to 300V ■ Emergency Warning Beacons in less than 300ms. ■ Professional Photoflash Systems The CHARGE pin gives full control of the LT3750 to the ■ Security/Inventory Control Systems user. The DONE pin indicates when the capacitor has ■ High Voltage Power Supply reached its programmed value and the part has stopped ■ Electric Fences charging. ■ Detonators , LTC and LT are registered trademarks of Linear Technology Corporation.
