100V Isolated Monolithic Flyback Regulator Needs No Optocoupler
Linear Technology Corporation announced the LT3511, a high voltage isolated monolithic flyback switching regulator that significantly simplifies the design of an isolated DC/DC converter. No optocoupler, third winding or signal transformer are required for feedback since the output voltage is sensed from the primary-side flyback signal. The LT3511 operates over a 4.5V to 100V input voltage range, has a 240mA, 150V power switch and delivers up to ...
