Offline Isolated Flyback
LED Controller with Active PFC
The LT
®
3799 is an isolated flyback controller with power
factor correction specifically designed for driving LEDs.
The controller operates using critical conduction mode
allowing the use of a small transformer. Using a novel
current sensing scheme, the controller is able to deliver a
well regulated current to the secondary side without using
an opto-coupler. A strong gate driver is included to drive
an external high voltage MOSFET. Utilizing an onboard
multiplier, the LT3799 typically achieves power factors
of 0.97. The FAULT pin provides notification of open and
short LED conditions.
The LT3799 uses a micropower hysteretic start-up to
efficiently operate at offline input voltages, with a third
winding to provide power to the part. An internal LDO
provides a well regulated supply for the part’s internal
circuitry and gate driver.
