APPLICATIONS INFORMATION

Secondary Leakage Inductance

In addition to the previously described effects of leakage

inductance in general, leakage inductance on the second-

ary in particular exhibits an additional phenomenon. It

forms an inductive divider on the transformer secondary

that effectively reduces the size of the primary-referred

flyback pulse used for feedback. This will increase the

output voltage target by a similar percentage. Note that

unlike leakage spike behavior, this phenomenon is load

independent. To the extent that the secondary leakage

inductance is a constant percentage of mutual inductance

(over manufacturing variations), this can be accommodated

by adjusting the RFB/RREF resistor ratio.

Winding Resistance Effects

Resistance in either the primary or secondary will reduce

overall efficiency (POUT/PIN). Good output voltage regula-

tion will be maintained independent of winding resistance

due to the boundary mode operation of the LT3573.

Bifilar Winding

A bifilar, or similar winding technique, is a good way to

minimize troublesome leakage inductances. However, re-

member that this will also increase primary-to-secondary

capacitance and limit the primary-to-secondary breakdown

voltage, so, bifilar winding is not always practical. The

Linear Technology applications group is available and

extremely qualified to assist in the selection and/or design

of the transformer.

Setting the Current Limit Resistor

The maximum current limit can be set by placing a resistor

between the RILIM pin and ground. This provides some

flexibility in picking standard off-the-shelf transformers that

may be rated for less current than the LT3573’s internal

power switch current limit. If the maximum current limit

is needed, use a 10k resistor. For lower current limits,

the following equation sets the approximate current limit:

RILIM = 65 •103(1.6A −ILIM )+ 10k

The Switch Current Limit vs RILIM plot in the Typical Per-

formance Characteristics section depicts a more accurate

current limit.

Undervoltage Lockout (UVLO)

The SHDN/UVLO pin is connected to a resistive voltage

divider connected to VIN as shown in Figure 8. The voltage

threshold on the SHDN/UVLO pin for VIN rising is 1.22V.

To introduce hysteresis, the LT3573 draws 2.5µA from the

SHDN/UVLO pin when the pin is below 1.22V. The hysteresis

is therefore user-adjustable and depends on the value of

R1. The UVLO threshold for VIN rising is:

VIN(UVLO,RISING)

The UVLO threshold for VIN falling is:

To implement external run/stop control, connect a small

NMOS to the UVLO pin, as shown in Figure 8. Turning the

NMOS on grounds the UVLO pin and prevents the LT3573

from operating, and the part will draw less than a 1µA of

quiescent current.
