The LTC
®
3705 is a controller for a 2-switch forward
converter and includes on-chip bottom and top gate
drivers that do not require external transformers.
For secondary-side control, combine the LTC3705 with
the LTC3706 PolyPhase
®
secondary-side synchronous
forward controller to create a complete forward converter
using a minimum of discrete parts. A proprietary scheme
is used to multiplex gate drive signals across the isolation
barrier through a tiny pulse transformer. The on-chip
rectifier and the same pulse transformer provide gate drive
bias power.
Alternatively, the LTC3705 can be used as a standalone
voltage mode controller in a primary-side control architec-
ture with optoisolator feedback. Voltage feedforward pro-
vides excellent line regulation and transient response.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
Operating junction temperature T
J
(in
°C)
is calculated from the
ambient temperature T
A
and the average power dissipation PD (in watts)
by the formula: T
J
= T

• PD. Refer to the Applications Information
section for details.
Note 3:
I
CC
is the sum of current into NDRV and V

.
Note 4:
The LTC3705EGN is guaranteed to meet performance
specifications from 0°C to 85°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C
operating temperature range are assured by design, characterization and
correlation with statistical process controls. The LTC3705IGN is
guaranteed and tested over the – 40°C to 85°C operating temperature
range.
