LT1725 - General Purpose Isolated Flyback Controller

The LT1725 has a number of features not found on most other switching regulator ICs. By utilizing current mode switching techniques, it provides excellent AC and DC line regulation. Its unique control circuitry can maintain regulation well into discontinuous mode in most applications. Optional load compensation circuitry allows for improved load regulation. An optional undervoltage lockout pin halts operation when the application input voltage is too low. An optional external capacitor implements a soft-start function. A 3V output is available at up to several mA for powering primary side application circuitry.

Features
  • Drives External Power MOSFET with External ISENSE Resistor
  • Application Input Voltage Limited Only by External Power Components
  • Senses Output Voltage Directly from Primary Side Winding—No Optoisolator Required
  • Accurate Regulation Without User Trims
  • Regulation Maintained Well into Discontinuous Mode
  • Switching Frequency from 50kHz to 250kHz with External Capacitor
  • Optional Load Compensation
  • Optional Undervoltage Lockout
  • Available in 16-Pin SO and SSOP Packages
