The LT
®
1950 is a wide input range, forward, boost, flyback
and SEPIC controller that drives an N-channel power
MOSFET with few external components required.
A resistor programmable duty cycle clamp can be used to
generate a volt-second clamp for forward converter appli-
cations. An internal boost switcher is available for creating
a separate supply for the output gate driver, allowing 10V
gate drive from input voltages as low as 3V. The LT1950’s
operating frequency can be set with an external resistor
over a 100kHz to 500kHz range and a SYNC pin allows the
part to be synchronized to an external clock. Additional
programmability exists for leading edge blanking and
slope compensation.
A fast current sense comparator achieves 60ns current
sense delay and the error amplifier is a true voltage mode
error amplifier, allowing a wide range of compensation
networks. An accurate shutdown pin with programmable
hysteresis is available for undervoltage lockout and shut-
down. The LT1950 is available in a small 16-Pin SSOP
package.
