DESCRIPTION
The LTC®1698 is a precision secondary-side forward converter controller that synchronously drives external N-channel MOSFETs. It is designed for use with the LT®3781 primary-side synchronous forward converter controller to create a completely isolated power supply. The LT3781 synchronizes the LTC1698 through a small pulse transformer and the LTC1698 drives a feedback optocoupler to close the feedback loop. Output accuracy of ±0.8% and high efficiency over a wide range of load currents are obtained.
