The LT
®
3750 is a flyback converter designed to rapidly
charge large capacitors to a user-adjustable target volt-
age. A patented boundary mode control scheme* mini-
mizes transition losses and reduces transformer size. The
transformer turns ratio and two external resistors easily
adjust the output voltage.* A low 78mV current sense
accurately limits peak switch current and also helps to
maximize efficiency. With a wide input voltage range, the
LT3750 can operate from a variety of power sources. A
typical application can charge a 100µF capacitor to 300V
in less than 300ms.
The CHARGE pin gives full control of the LT3750 to the
user. The DONE pin indicates when the capacitor has
reached its programmed value and the part has stopped
charging.

Note 1:
Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2:
The LT3750E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 70°C. Specifications over the –40°C to 85°C operating
temperature range are assured by design, characterization and correlation
with statistical process controls.

TRANS
(Pin 1):
Transformer Supply Pin. Powers the
primary coil of the transformer as well as internal circuitry
that performs boundary mode detection. Bypass at the pin
with a 1µF to 10µF capacitor. Bypass the primary winding
of the transformer with a large capacitor.
DONE (Pin 2):
Open Collector Indication Pin. When target
output voltage is reached, an NPN transistor turns on.
Requires a pull-up resistor or current source. Any fault
conditions such as thermal shutdown or undervoltage
lockout will also turn on the NPN.
CHARGE (Pin 3):
Charge Pin. Initiates a new charge cycle
when brought high or discontinues charging and puts part
into shutdown when low. To properly enable the device, a
step input with a minimum ramp rate of 1V/µs is required.
Drive to 1.1V or higher to enable the device; drive below
0.2V to disable the device.
V
CC
(Pin 4):
Input Supply Pin. Bypass locally with a
ceramic capacitor. A 1µF to 10µF ceramic capacitor should
be sufficient for most applications.
GND (Pin 5):
Ground Pin. Connect directly to local ground
plane.
SOURCE (Pin 6):
Source Pin. Senses NMOS drain current.
Connect NMOS source terminal and current sense resistor
to this pin. The current limit is 78mV/R
SENSE
.
GATE (Pin 7):
Gate Pin. Connect NMOS gate terminal to
this pin. Internal gate driver will drive voltage to within
V
CC
– 2V during each switching cycle.
RDCM (Pin 8):
Discontinuous Mode Sense Pin. Senses
when current in transformer has decayed to zero and ini-
tiates a new charge cycle if output voltage target has not
been reached. Place a resistor between this pin and the drain
of the NMOS. A good choice is a 43k, 5% resistor.
RV
OUT
(Pin 9):
Output Voltage VI Converter Pin. Develops
a current proportional to output capacitor voltage. Con-
nect a resistor between this pin and the drain of the NMOS.
RBG (Pin 10):
Output Voltage Sense Pin. Senses the
voltage across the RBG resistor, which is proportional to
the current flowing into the R
VOUT
pin. When voltage
equals 1.24V, charging is disabled and DONE pin goes
low. Connect a resistor (2.5k or less is recommended)
from this pin to GND. A 2.49k, 1% resistor is a good
choice.
