DESCRIPTIO  
FEATURES  
TheLTC®3722-1/LTC3722-2phaseshiftPWMcontrollers  
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.  
Adaptive or Manual Delay Control for Zero Voltage  
Switching Operation  
Adjustable Synchronous Rectification Timing for  
Highest Efficiency  
Adjustable Maximum ZVS Delay  
Adjustable System Undervoltage Lockout and  
Hysteresis  
Programmable Leading Edge Blanking  
Very Low Start-Up and Quiescent Currents  
The LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 feature adjustable synchro-  
nous rectifier timing for optimal efficiency. A UVLO pro-  
gram input provides accurate system turn-on and turn-off  
voltages. The LTC3722-1 features peak current mode  
controlwithprogrammableslopecompensationandlead-  
ing edge blanking, while the LTC3722-2 employs voltage  
mode control with voltage feedforward capability.

SS(Pin7/Pin7):Soft-Start/RestartDelayCircuitryTiming  
Capacitor. A capacitor from SS to GND provides a con-  
trolled ramp of the current command (LTC3722-1), or  
duty cycle (LTC3722-2). During overload conditions SS is  
discharged to ground initiating a soft-start cycle.  
OUTF (Pin 15/Pin 15): 50mA Driver for Synchronous  
Rectifier Associated with OUTB and OUTC.

PDLY(Pin9/Pin9):PassiveLegDelayCircuitInput. PDLY  
is connected through a voltage divider to the left leg of the  
bridge in adaptive ZVS mode. In fixed ZVS mode, a voltage  
between 0V and 2.5V on PDLY, programs a fixed ZVS  
delay time for the passive leg transition.  
VCC (Pin 18/Pin 18): Supply Voltage Input to the  
LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 and 10.25V Shunt Regulator. The

comparator threshold is exceeded. Once the VCC shunt  
regulator has turned on, VCC can drop to as low as 6V and  
maintain operation.  
SBUS (Pin 10/Pin 10): Line Voltage Sense Input. SBUS is  
connected to the main DC voltage feed by a resistive  
voltage divider when using adaptive ZVS control. The  
voltage divider is designed to produce 1.5V on SBUS at  
nominal VIN. If SBUS is tied to VREF, the LTC3722-1/  
LTC3722-2 is configured for fixed mode ZVS control.  
OUTC (Pin 19/Pin 19): 50mA Driver for High Side of the  
Full Bridge Active Leg.  
OUTB (Pin 20/Pin 20): 50mA Driver for Low Side of the

external power MOSFETs.  
Phase Shift Full-Bridge PWM  
Conventional full-bridge switching power supply topolo-  
gies are often employed for high power, isolated DC/DC  
and off-line converters. Although they require two addi-  
tionalswitchingelements,substantiallygreaterpowerand  
higher efficiency can be attained for a given transformer  
sizecomparedtothemorecommonsingle-endedforward  
and flyback converters. These improvements are realized  
since 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 trans-  
former flux reset and balancing due to its bidirectional  
drive configuration. As a result, the maximum duty cycle  
rangeisextended,furtherimprovingefficiency.Softswitch-  
ing variations on the full-bridge topology have been pro-

required for a ZVS phase shifted full-bridge converter. The  
primary attributes of the LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 as com-  
pared to currently available solutions include:  
1) Truly adaptive and accurate (DirectSense 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.

isolation barrier. Methods for providing drive to these  
elements are detailed in this data sheet. The secondary  
voltage of the transformer is the primary voltage divided  
bythetransformerturnsratio. Similartoabuckconverter,  
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  
5) Programmable (single resistor) slope compensation.  
Benefit: eliminates external glue circuitry.  
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.  
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.  
As a result, the LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 makes the ZVS  
topology feasible for a wider variety of applications, in-  
cluding those at lower power levels.  
State 1 (Power Pulse 1)  
Referring to Figure 1, State 1 begins with MA, MD and MF  
“ONandMB, MCandMEOFF.Duringthesimultaneous  
conduction of MA and MD, the full input voltage is applied  
across the transformer primary winding and following the  
dot convention, VIN/N is applied to the left side of LO1  
allowing current to increase in LO1. The primary current  
during this period is approximately equal to the output  
inductor current (LO1) divided by the transformer turns  
ratio plus the transformer magnetizing current (VIN • tON/  
LMAG). MD turns off and ME turns on at the end of State 1.  
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,  
thevoltageappliedtotheprimaryisreversedinpolarityon  
every switching cycle and each output drive signal is 1/2  
the frequency of the oscillator. The on-time of each driver  
signal is slightly less that 50%. The on-time overlap of the  
diagonal switch pairs is controlled by the LTC3722-1/  
LTC3722-2 phase modulation circuitry. (Refer to 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  
State 2 (Active Transition and Freewheel Interval)  
MD turns off when the phase modulator comparator  
transitions. At this instant, the voltage on the MD/MC  
junction begins to rise towards the applied input voltage  
(VIN). The transformer’s magnetizing current and the  
reflected output inductor current propels this action. The  
slew rate is limited by MOSFET MC and MD’s output  
capacitance (COSS), snubbing capacitance and the trans-  
former interwinding capacitance. The voltage transition

ontheactivelegfromthegroundreferencepointtoVIN will  
always occur, independent of load current as long as  
energy in the transformer’s magnetizing and leakage in-  
ductance is greater than the capacitive energy. That is,  
1/2 • (LM + LI) • IM2 > 1/2 • 2 • COSS • VIN2 — the worst case  
occurs when the load current is zero. This condition is  
usually easy to meet. The magnetizing current is virtually  
constant during this transition because the magnetizing  
inductance has positive voltage applied across it through-  
out the low to high transition. Since the leg is actively  
driven by this “current source,” it is called the active or  
linear transition. When the voltage on the active leg has  
risen to VIN, 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.  
resonantly transferred to the capacitive elements, hence,  
the term passive or resonant transition. Assuming there is  
sufficient inductive energy to propel the bridge leg to  
GND, the time required will be approximately equal to  
π LC/2. 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 current reverses direction, the opposite second-  
ary winding becomes forward biased and a new power  
pulseisinitiated. Thetimerequiredforthecurrentreversal  
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.  
State 3 (Passive Transition)  
State 4 (Power Pulse 2)  
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  
decay towards the lower supply (GND). The energy avail-  
abletodrivethistransitionislimitedtotheprimaryleakage  
inductance and added commutating inductance which  
have (IMAG + IOUT/2N) flowing through them initially. The  
magnetizing and output inductors don’t contribute any  
energy because they are effectively shorted as mentioned  
previously, significantly reducing the available energy.  
Thisisthemajordifferencebetweentheactiveandpassive  
transitions. If the energy stored in the leakage and com-  
mutating inductance is greater than the capacitive energy,  
the transition will be completed successfully. During the  
transition, an increasing reverse voltage is applied to the  
leakageandcommutatinginductances,helpingtheoverall  
primary current to decay. The inductive energy is thus  
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  
current and current due to the primary magnetizing induc-  
tance. At the end of State 4, MOSFET MC turns off and an  
active transition, essentially similar to State 2, but oppo-  
site in direction (high to low) takes place.  
Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS)  
Alosslessswitchingtransitionrequiresthattherespective  
full-bridge MOSFETs be switched to the “ON” state at the  
exact instant their drain to source voltage is zero. Delaying  
the turn-on results in lower efficiency due to circulating  
current flowing in the body diode of the primary side  
MOSFETratherthanitslowresistancechannel.Premature  
turn-on produces hard switching of the MOSFETs, in-  
creasing noise and power dissipation.

LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 Adaptive Delay Circuitry  
The LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 monitors both the input sup-  
plyandinstantaneousbridgelegvoltages, andcommands  
a switching transition when the expected zero voltage  
condition is reached. DirectSense technology provides  
optimal turn-on delay timing, regardless of input voltage,  
output load, or component tolerances. The DirectSense  
technique requires only a simple voltage divider sense  
network to implement. If there is not enough energy to  
fully commutate the bridge leg to a ZVS condition, the  
LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 automatically overrides the  
DirectSense circuitry and forces a transition. The override  
or default delay time is programmed with a resistor from

which the power MOSFET switches on due to MOSFET  
turn on delay and external driver circuit delay. Ideally, we  
want the power MOSFET to switch at the instant there is  
zero volts across it. By setting a threshold voltage for  
ADLY and PDLY corresponding to several volts across the  
MOSFET, the LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 can “anticipate” a  
zero voltage VDS and signal the external driver and switch

TheLTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 DirectSensecircuitrysources  
a trimmed current out of PDLY and ADLY after a low to  
high level transition occurs. This provides hysteresis and  
noise immunity for the PDLY and ADLY circuitry, and sets  
the high to low threshold on ADLY or PDLY to nearly the  
same level as the low to high threshold, thereby making  
the upper and lower MOSFET VDS switch points virtually  
identical, independent of VIN.

Programming Adaptive Delay Time-Out  
Adding a small safety margin and choosing standard  
values yields:  
The LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 controllers include a feature  
to program the maximum time delay before a bridge  
switch turn on command is summoned. This function will  
come into play if there is not enough energy to commutate  
a bridge leg to the opposite supply rail, therefore bypass-  
ing the adaptive delay circuitry. The time delay can be set  
with an external resistor connected between DPRG and  
VREF ( see Figure 4). The nominal regulated voltage on  
DPRG is 2V. The external resistor programs a current  
which flows into DPRG. The delay can be adjusted from  
approximately 35ns to 300ns, depending on the resistor  
value. If DPRG is left open, the delay time is approximately  
400ns. The amount of delay can also be modulated based  
on an external current source that feeds current into  
DPRG. Care must be taken to limit the current fed into  
DPRG to 350µA or less.

maintains decent regulation as the supply voltage varies,  
and it does not require full safety isolation from the input  
winding of the transformer. Some manufacturers include  
a primary winding for this purpose in their standard  
product offerings as well. A different approach is to add a  
winding to the output inductor and peak detect and filter  
the square wave signal (see Figure 7b). The polarity of this  
winding is designed so that the positive voltage square  
wave is produced while the output inductor is freewheel-  
ing. An advantage of this technique over the previous is  
that it does not require a separate filter inductor and since  
the voltage is derived from the well-regulated output  
voltage, it is also well controlled. One disadvantage is that  
this winding will require the same safety isolation that is  
required for the main transformer. Another disadvantage  
is that a much larger VCC filter capacitor is needed, since  
it does not generate a voltage as the output is first starting  
up, or during short-circuit conditions.  
The LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 provides undervoltage lock-  
out (UVLO) control for the input DC voltage feed to the  
power converter in addition to the VCC UVLO function  
described in the preceding section. Input DC feed UVLO is  
provided with the UVLO pin. A comparator on UVLO  
compares a divided down input DC feed voltage to the 5V  
precision reference. When the 5V level is exceeded on  
UVLO, the SS pin is released and output switching com-  
mences. At the same time a 10µA current is enabled which  
flows out of UVLO into the voltage divider connected to  
UVLO. The amount of DC feed hysteresis provided by this  
current is: 10µA • RTOP, see Figure 6. The system UVLO  
threshold is: 5V • {(RTOP + RBOTTOM)/RBOTTOM}. If the  
voltage applied to UVLO is present and greater than 5V  
prior to the VCC UVLO circuitry activation, then the internal  
UVLO logic will prevent output switching until the follow-  
ing three conditions are met: (1) VCC UVLO is enabled, (2)  
VREF is in regulation and (3) UVLO pin is greater than 5V.

tion of the current control loop. In general, if the system  
duty cycle exceeds 50% in a fixed frequency, continuous  
current mode converter, an unstable condition exists  
within the current control loop. Any perturbation in the  
current signal is amplified by the PWM modulator result-  
ing in an unstable condition. Some common manifesta-  
tions 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 amplifier output). In theory, the current  
doubler output configuration does not require slope com-  
pensation since the output inductor duty cycles only  
approach 50%. However, transient conditions can mo-

Design Procedure:  
1. Choose CT for the desired oscillator frequency. The  
switching frequency selected must be consistent with the  
power magnetics and output power level. This is detailed  
in the Transformer Design section. In general, increasing  
theswitchingfrequencywilldecreasethemaximumachiev-  
able output power, due to limitations of maximum duty  
cycle imposed by transformer core reset and ZVS. Re-  
member that the output frequency is 1/2 that of the  
oscillator.

Example: Desired fOSC = 330kHz  
CT = 1/(13.4k • fOSC) = 226pF, choose closest standard

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)  
switching frequency, current sense resistor value and  
output inductor value. An illustrative example with the  
design equation is provided below.  
Example: VIN = 36V to 72V  
VOUT = 3.3V  
IOUT = 40A  
The pulse-by-pulse comparator has a 270mV nominal  
threshold. If the 270mV 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  
and a soft-start cycle is initiated. If the overcurrent condi-  
tion persists, the LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 halts PWM op-  
eration and waits for the soft-start capacitor to charge up  
to approximately 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-  
ever, with high input voltage, very low RDS(ON) MOSFETs  
and a shorted output, or with saturating magnetics, the  
overcurrent comparator provides a means of protecting  
the power converter.

times of approximately 40ns to 320ns are programmed. If  
not required, connecting RLEB to VREF can disable leading

resistor value is N times larger, and the secondary current  
Ntimessmallerthanintheresistivesensecase.Therefore,  
thesenseresistorpowerlossisaboutNtimeslesswiththe  
transformer method, neglecting the transformers core  
and copper losses. The disadvantages of this approach  
include, higher cost and complexity, lower accuracy, core  
reset/max duty cycle limitations and lower speed. Never-  
theless, for very high power applications, this method is  
preferred. The sense transformer primary is placed in the  
same location as the ground referenced sense resistor, or  
between the upper MOSFET drains in the (MA, MC) and  
VIN. The advantage of the high side location is a greater  
immunity to leading edge noise spikes, since gate charge  
current and reflected rectifier recovery current are largely  
eliminated. Figure 11 illustrates a typical current sense  
transformer based sensing scheme. RS in this case is  
calculated the same as in the resistive case, only its value  
is increased by the sense transformer turns ratio. At high  
duty cycles, it may become difficult or impossible to reset  
the current transformer. This is because the required  
transformer reset voltage increases as the available time  
forresetdecreasestoequalizethe(voltseconds)applied.  
The interwinding capacitance and secondary inductance  
of the current sense transformer form a resonant circuit  
that limits the dV/dT on the secondary of the CS trans-  
former. This in turn limits the maximum achievable duty  
cycle for the CS transformer. Attempts to operate beyond  
this limit will cause the transformer core to “walk” and  
eventually saturate, opening up the current feedback loop.  
Resistive Sensing  
A resistor connected between input common and the  
sources of MB and MD is the simplest method of current  
sensing for the full-bridge converter. This is the preferred  
method for low to moderate power levels. The sense  
resistor should be chosen such that the maximum rated  
output current for the converter can be delivered at the  
lowest expected VIN. Use the following formula to calcu-  
late the optimal value for RCS.

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-MD or MB-MC) conduct and cause current in an  
output inductor to increase. This current is seen on the  
primary of the power transformer divided by the turns  
ratio. Since the current sense resistor is connected be-  
tween GND and the two bottom bridge transistors, a  
voltage proportional to the output inductor current will be  
seen across RSENSE. The high side of RSENSE is also  
connectedtoCS,usuallythroughasmallresistor(RSLOPE).  
When the voltage on CS exceeds either (COMP/5.2)  
650mV, or 270mV, the overlap conduction period will  
terminate. Duringnormaloperation, theattenuatedCOMP

slewing conditions following a large load step, the 270mV  
CS threshold will terminate the cycle, as COMP will be

threshold on CS will be exceeded, invoking a soft-start/  
restart cycle.

Closing the Feedback Loop  
Closing the feedback loop with the full-bridge converter  
involves identifying where the power stage and other  
system poles/zeroes are located and then designing a  
compensationnetworkaroundtheconverterserrorampli-  
fier to shape the frequency response to insure adequate  
phase margin and transient response. Additional modifi-  
cations 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  
dependingontheloadcurrentrangeandthetypeofoutput  
capacitors used. In isolated applications, the compensa-  
tion network is generally located on the secondary side of  
the power supply, around the error amplifier of the  
optocoupler driver, usually an LT1431 or equivalent. In  
nonisolated systems, the compensation network is lo-  
catedaroundtheLTC3722-1/LTC3722-2’serroramplifier.  
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  
principles are generally the same with the added compli-  
cation of maintaining zero voltage transitions, and there-  
fore, 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  
maximum available duty cycle. This reduction is propor-  
tional to maximum output power since the parasitic ca-  
pacitive element (MOSFETs) that increase ZVS time get  
larger as power levels increase. This implies an inverse  
relationship 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.  
In current mode control, the dominant system pole is  
determined by the load resistance (VO/IO) and the output  
capacitor 1/(2π • RO • CO). The output capacitors ESR  
1/(2π • ESR • CO) introduces a zero. Excellent DC line and  
load regulation can be obtained if there is high loop gain at  
DC. This requires an integrator type of compensator  
around the error amplifier. A procedure is provided for  
deriving the required compensation components. More  
complex types of compensation networks can be used to  
obtain higher bandwidth if necessary.

zero. The zero frequency should coincide with the worst-  
case lowest output pole frequency. The pole frequency  
and mid frequency gain (RF/RI) should be set such so that  
the loop crosses over zero dB with a –1 slope at a  
frequency lower than (fSW/8). Use a bode plot to graphi-

frequency pole set by CP2 and Rf is used to attenuate  
switching frequency noise.

capacitors’s reliability. The amount of ripple cancellation  
is related to duty cycle (see Figure 15). Although the  
currentdoublerrequiresanadditionalinductor, theinduc-  
torcorevolumeisproportionaltoLI2, thusthesizepenalty  
is small. The transformer construction is simplified with-  
out a center-tap winding and the turns ratio is reduced by  
1/2comparedtoaconventionalfullwaverectifierconfigu-  
ration.  
Thecurrentdoublersecondaryemploystwooutputinduc-  
tors that equally share the output load current. The trans-  
formersecondaryisnotcenter-tapped. Thisconfiguration  
provides 2x higher output current capability compared to  
similarly sized single output inductor modules, hence the  
name. Each output inductor is twice the inductance value  
as the equivalent single inductor configuration and the  
transformer turns ratio is 1/2 that of a single inductor  
secondary. The drive to the inductors is 180 degrees out  
of phase which provides partial ripple current cancellation  
in the output capacitor(s). Reduced capacitor ripple cur-  
rent lowers output voltage ripple and enhances the  
Synchronous rectification of the current doubler second-  
ary requires two ground referenced N-channel MOSFETs.  
The timing of the LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 drive signals is  
shown in the Timing Diagram.

OPERATIO  
Full-Bridge Gate Drive  
does not require the propagation delays of the high and  
low side drive circuits to be precisely matched as the  
DirectSense ZVS circuitry will adapt accordingly. As a  
result, LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2 can drive a simple NPN-  
PNP buffer or a gate driver chip like the LTC1693-1 to  
provide the low side gate drive. Providing drive to the high  
side presents additional challenges since the MOSFET  
gate must be driven above the input supply. A simple  
circuit (Figure 17) using a single LTC1693-1, an inexpen-  
sive signal transformer, and a few discrete components  
provides both high side gate drives (A and C) reliably.  
The full-bridge converter requires high current MOSFET  
gate driver circuitry for two ground referenced switches  
and two high side referred switches. Providing drive to the  
ground referenced switches is not too difficult as long as  
thetracesfromthegatedriverchiporbuffertothegateand  
source leads are short and direct. Drive requirements are  
further eased since all of the switches turn on with zero  
VDS, eliminating the “Miller” effect. Low turn-off resis-  
tance is critical, however, in order to prevent excessive  
turn-off losses resulting from the same Miller effects that  
were not an issue for turn on. The LTC3722-1/LTC3722-2
