The LT8311’s unique preactive mode eliminates the need for a signal transformer for primary to secondary-side communication by sensing signals on the secondary side to control synchronous rectification. This mode reduces

component count and solution size.

The LT8311 operates over a 3.7V to 30V input voltage range and is used with a primary-side IC, such as the LT3752/-1. The complete forward converter can operate with input voltages ranging from 6.5V up to 400V+ making it ideal for a wide range of applications including hybrid/electric vehicle automotive requirements.

Furthermore, the LT8311 combines a 10mA opto-driver and a feedback loop error amplifier to enable output voltage feedback from the secondary to the primary side. The entire system provides fixed frequency peak current mode control that has excellent line/load regulation and fast transient response. Additional features include a 1.5% reference voltage, a power good monitor and programmable soft-start of the output voltage.
