LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2  
Synchronous Dual Mode  
Phase Modulated  
Full Bridge Controllers  
DESCRIPTION  
The LTC®3722-1/LTC3722-2 phase-shift PWM controllers  
provide all of the control and protection functions neces-  
sary to implement a high efficiency, zero voltage switched  
(ZVS), full bridge power converter. Adaptive ZVS circuitry  
delays the turn-on signals for each MOSFET independent  
of internal and external component tolerances. Manual  
delay set mode enables secondary side control operation  
or direct control of switch turn-on delays.

LTC3722I-1/LTC3722I-2 are guaranteed over the –40°C to 85°C operating  
junction temperature range and the LTC3722H-1 is guaranteed over the  
–40°C to 150°C operating junction temperature range.  
Note 2: Sync amplitude = 5V , pulse width = 50ns. Verify output (A-F)  
frequency = one-half sync frequency.  
High junction temperatures degrade operating lifetimes; operating lifetime  
is derated for junction temperatures greater than 125°C. Note that the  
maximum ambient temperature consistent with these specifications is  
determined by specific operating conditions in conjunction with board  
layout, the rated package thermal impedance and other environmental  
factors.

Phase-Shift Full Bridge PWM  
generallyundesirableparasiticelementspresentwithinthe  
power stage. The parasitic elements are utilized to drive  
near lossless switching transitions for all of the external  
power MOSFETs.  
Conventionalfullbridgeswitchingpowersupplytopologies  
are often employed for high power, isolated DC/DC and  
off-line converters. Although they require two additional  
switchingelements,substantiallygreaterpowerandhigher  
efficiency can be attained for a given transformer size  
comparedtothemorecommonsingle-endedforwardand  
flybackconverters.Theseimprovementsarerealizedsince  
the full bridge converter delivers power during both parts  
of the switching cycle, reducing transformer core loss  
and lowering voltage and current stresses. The full bridge  
converter also provides inherent automatic transformer  
flux reset and balancing due to its bidirectional drive  
configuration. As a result, the maximum duty cycle range  
is extended, further improving efficiency. Soft-switching  
variations on the full bridge topology have been proposed  
to improve and extend its performance and application.  
These zero voltage switching (ZVS) techniques exploit the  
LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 phase-shift PWM controllers pro-  
vide enhanced performance and simplify the design task  
required for a ZVS phase-shifted full bridge converter.  
The primary attributes of the LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 as  
compared to currently available solutions include:  
1. Truly adaptive and accurate (DirectSenseTM technology)  
ZVS with programmable timeout.  
Benefit: higher efficiency, higher duty cycle capability,  
eliminates external trim.  
2. Fixed ZVS capability.  
Benefit: enables secondary-side control and simplifies  
external circuit.

elements are detailed in this data sheet. The secondary  
voltage of the transformer is the primary voltage divided  
by the transformer turns ratio. Similar to a buck converter,  
the secondary square wave is applied to an output filter  
inductor and capacitor to produce a well regulated DC  
output voltage.  
Benefit: eliminates external glue logic, drivers, optimal  
timing for highest efficiency.  
4. Programmable (single resistor) leading edge blanking.  
Benefit: prevents spurious operation, reduces external  
filtering required on CS.  
Switching Transitions  
The phase-shifted full bridge can be described by four  
primary operating states. The key to understanding how  
ZVS occurs is revealed by examining the states in detail.  
Each full cycle of the transformer has two distinct periods  
in which power is delivered to the output, and two “free-  
wheeling” periods. The two sides of the external bridge  
havefundamentallydifferentoperatingcharacteristicsthat  
become important when designing for ZVS over a wide  
load current range. The left bridge leg is referred to as the  
passive leg, while the right leg is referred to as the active  
leg. The following descriptions provide insight as to why  
these differences exist.  
5. Programmable (single resistor) slope compensation.  
Benefit: eliminates external glue circuitry.  
6. Optimized current mode control architecture.  
Benefit: eliminates glue circuitry, less overshoot at  
start-up, faster recovery from system faults.  
7. Programmable system undervoltage lockout and hys-  
teresis.  
Benefit: provides an accurate turn-on voltage for power  
supply and reduces external circuitry.

State 1 (Power Pulse 1)  
As shown in Figure 1, State 1 begins with MA, MD and MF  
“ON” and MB, MC and ME “OFF.” During the simultane-  
ous conduction of MA and MD, the full input voltage is  
applied across the transformer primary winding and fol-  
The LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 control four external power  
switches in a full bridge arrangement. The load on the  
bridge is the primary winding of a power transformer. The  
diagonal switches in the bridge connect the primary wind-  
ing between the input voltage and ground every oscillator  
cycle. The pair of switches that conduct are alternated by  
an internal flip-flop in the LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2. Thus,  
the voltage applied to the primary is reversed in polarity  
on every switching cycle and each output drive signal is  
one-half the frequency of the oscillator. The on-time of  
each driver signal is slightly less than 50%. The on-time  
overlap of the diagonal switch pairs is controlled by the  
LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 phase modulation circuitry (refer  
to the Block and Timing Diagrams). This overlap sets the  
approximate duty cycle of the converter. The LTC3722-1/  
LTC3722-2 driver output signals (OUTA to OUTF) are  
optimized for interface with an external gate driver IC or  
buffer. External power MOSFETs A and C require high side  
driver circuitry, while B and D are ground referenced and E  
and F are ground referenced but on the secondary-side of  
the isolation barrier. Methods for providing drive to these

the transformer’s magnetizing and leakage inductance is  
greater than the capacitive energy. That is, 1/2 • (LM + LI)  
When the voltage on the passive leg nears GND, MOSFET  
MB is commanded “ON” by the ZVS circuitry. Current  
continues to increase in the leakage and external series  
inductance which is opposite in polarity to the reflected  
output inductor current. When this current is equal in  
magnitude to the reflected output current, the primary  
currentreversesdirection,theoppositesecondarywinding  
becomes forward biased and a new power pulse is initi-  
ated. The time required for the current reversal reduces  
the effective maximum duty cycle and must be considered  
when computing the power transformer turns ratio. If  
ZVS is required over the entire range of loads, a small  
commutating inductor is added in series with the primary  
to aid with the passive leg transition, since the leakage  
inductance alone is usually not sufficient and predictable  
enough to guarantee ZVS over the full load range.

current source, it is called the active or linear transition.  
When the voltage on the active leg has risen to V ,  
IN  
MOSFET MC is switched on by the ZVS circuitry. The  
primary current now flows through the two high side  
MOSFETs (MA and MC). The transformer’s secondary  
windings are electrically shorted at this time since both  
ME and MF are “ON”. As long as positive current flows  
in LO1 and LO2, the transformer primary (magnetizing)  
inductance is also shorted through normal transformer  
action. MA and MF turn off at the end of State 2.  
State 4 (Power Pulse 2)  
During power pulse 2, current builds up in the primary  
winding in the opposite direction as power pulse 1. The  
primary current consists of reflected output inductor cur-  
rentandcurrentduetotheprimarymagnetizinginductance.  
At the end of State 4, MOSFET MC turns off and an active  
transition, essentially similar to State 2 but opposite in  
direction (high to low), takes place.  
State 3 (Passive Transition)  
MA turns off when the oscillator timing period ends, i.e.,  
the clock pulse toggles the internal flip-flop. At the instant  
MA turns off, the voltage on the MA/MB junction begins to  
decaytowardsthelowersupply(GND).Theenergyavailable

If a regulated bias supply is not available to provide V

voltage to the LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 and supporting  
circuitry, one must be generated. Since the power require-  
ment is small, approximately 1W, and the regulation is not  
critical, a simple open-loop method is usually the easiest  
and lowest cost approach. One method that works well  
is to add a winding to the main power transformer, and  
post regulate the resultant square wave with an L-C filter  
(see Figure 7a). The advantage of this approach is that it  
maintains decent regulation as the supply voltage varies,  
and it does not require full safety isolation from the input  
windingofthetransformer.Somemanufacturersincludea

is designed so that the positive voltage square wave is  
produced while the output inductor is freewheeling. An  
advantage of this technique over the previous is that it  
does not require a separate filter inductor and since the  
voltageisderivedfromthewellregulatedoutputvoltage, it  
is also well controlled. One disadvantage is that this wind-  
ing will require the same safety isolation that is required  
for the main transformer. Another disadvantage is that a

OPERATION  
3. Slope compensation is required for most peak current  
mode controllers in order to prevent subharmonic  
oscillation of the current control loop. In general, if the  
system duty cycle exceeds 50% in a fixed frequency,  
continuous current mode converter, an unstable con-  
dition exists within the current control loop. Any  
perturbation in the current signal is amplified by the  
PWM modulator resulting in an unstable condition.  
Some common manifestations of this include alternate  
pulse nonuniformity and pulse width jitter. Fortunately,  
this can be addressed by adding a corrective slope to  
the current sense signal or by subtracting the same  
slope from the current command signal (error am-  
plifier output). In theory, the current doubler output  
configuration does not require slope compensation  
since the output inductor duty cycles only approach  
50%. However, transient conditions can momentarily  
cause higher duty cycles and therefore, the possibility  
for unstable operation.

and a shorted output, or with saturating magnetics, the  
overcurrent comparator provides a means of protecting  
the power converter.  
Current sensing provides feedback for the current mode  
control loop and protection from overload conditions. The  
LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 are compatible with either resis-  
tive sensing or current transformer methods. Internally  
connected to the LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 CS pin are two  
comparators that provide pulse-by-pulse and overcurrent  
shutdown functions respectively (see Figure 10).  
Leading Edge Blanking  
TheLTC3722-1/LTC3722-2providesprogrammableleading  
edge blanking to prevent nuisance tripping of the current  
sense circuitry. Leading edge blanking relieves the filter-  
ing requirements for the CS pin, greatly improving the  
response to real overcurrent conditions. It also allows  
the use of a ground referenced current sense resistor  
or transformer(s), further simplifying the design. With a  
The pulse-by-pulse comparator has a 300mV nominal  
threshold. If the 300mV threshold is exceeded, the PWM  
cycle is terminated. The overcurrent comparator is set  
approximately 2x higher than the pulse-by-pulse level.  
If the current signal exceeds this level, the PWM cycle is  
terminated, the soft-start capacitor is quickly discharged  
andasoft-startcycleisinitiated.Iftheovercurrentcondition  
persists, the LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 halts PWM operation  
and waits for the soft-start capacitor to charge up to ap-  
proximately 4V before a retry is allowed. The soft-start  
capacitor is charged by an internal 12µA current source.  
If the fault condition has not cleared when soft-start  
reaches 4V, the soft-start pin is again discharged and a  
new cycle is initiated. This is referred to as hiccup mode  
operation. In normal operation and under most abnormal  
conditions, the pulse-by-pulse comparator is fast enough  
to prevent hiccup mode operation. In severe cases, how-

OPERATION  
Phase Modulator (LTC3722-1)  
the current sense resistor is connected between GND and  
the two bottom bridge transistors, a voltage proportional  
The LTC3722-1 phase modulation control circuitry is  
comprised of the phase modulation comparator and  
logic, the error amplifier, and the soft-start amplifier (see  
Figure 12). Together, these elements develop the required  
phase overlap (duty cycle) required to keep the output  
voltage in regulation. In isolated applications, the sensed  
output voltage error signal is fed back to COMP across the  
input to output isolation boundary by an optical coupler  
and shunt reference/error amplifier (LT®1431) combina-  
tion. The FB pin is connected to GND, forcing COMP high.  
The collector of the optoisolator is connected to COMP  
directly. The voltage COMP is internally attenuated by the  
LTC3722-1. The attenuated COMP voltage provides one  
input to the phase modulation comparator. This is the  
current command. The other input to the phase modula-  
tion comparator is the RAMP voltage, level shifted by  
approximately 650mV. This is the current loop feedback.  
During every switching cycle, alternate diagonal switches  
(MA-MDorMB-MC)conductandcausecurrentinanoutput  
inductor to increase. This current is seen on the primary  
of the power transformer divided by the turns ratio. Since  
to the output inductor current will be seen across R  
.
SENSE  
The high side of R  
is also connected to CS, usually  
SENSE  
through a small resistor (R  
). When the voltage on  
SLOPE  
CS exceeds either (COMP/4.3) –650mV, or 300mV, the  
overlap conduction period will terminate. During normal  
operation, the attenuated COMP voltage will determine  
the CS trip point. During start-up, or slewing conditions  
following a large load step, the 300mV CS threshold will  
terminate the cycle, as COMP will be driven high, such  
that the attenuated version exceeds the 300mV threshold.  
In extreme conditions, the 650mV threshold on CS will be  
exceeded, invoking a soft-start/restart cycle.  
Selecting the Power Stage Components  
Perhaps the most critical part of the overall design of the  
converter is selecting the power MOSFETs, transformer,  
inductors and filter capacitors. Tremendous gains in ef-

voltage can ring to levels far beyond what is expected due  
totheresonanttankcircuitformedbetweenthesecondary  
margin and transient response. Additional modifications  
will sometimes be required in order to deal with parasitic  
elements within the converter that can alter the feedback  
response. The compensation network will vary depending  
ontheloadcurrentrangeandthetypeofoutputcapacitors  
used. In isolated applications, the compensation network  
is generally located on the secondary side of the power  
supply, around the error amplifier of the opto-coupler  
driver, usually an LT1431 or equivalent. In nonisolated  
systems, the compensation network is located around

Switching Frequency Selection  
Unless constrained by other system requirements, the  
power converter’s switching frequency is usually set as  
highaspossiblewhilestayingwithinthedesiredefficiency  
target. The benefits of higher switching frequencies are  
many including smaller size, weight and reduced bulk  
capacitance. In the full bridge phase-shift converter, these  
principlesaregenerallythesamewiththeaddedcomplica-  
tion of maintaining zero voltage transitions, and therefore,  
higher efficiency. ZVS is achieved in a finite time during  
the switching cycle. During the ZVS time, power is not  
delivered to the output; the act of ZVS reduces the maxi-  
mum available duty cycle. This reduction is proportional  
to maximum output power since the parasitic capacitive  
element (MOSFETs) that increase ZVS time get larger as  
powerlevelsincrease. Thisimpliesaninverserelationship  
between output power level and switching frequency.  
Table 1 displays recommended maximum switching  
frequency vs power level for a 30V/75V in to 3.3V/5V out  
converter. Higher switching frequencies can be used if the  
input voltage range is limited, the output voltage is lower  
and/or lower efficiency can be tolerated.

deriving the required compensation components. More

If polymer electrolytic output capacitorsare used, the ESR  
zero can be employed in the overall loop compensation  
and optimum bandwidth can be achieved. If aluminum  
electrolytics are used, the loop will need to be rolled off  
prior to the ESR zero frequency, making the loop response  
slower. A linearized SPICE macromodel of the control
