APPLICATIONS INFORMATION
The value of the resistors, R
be calculated using the following formulas to meet both
the threshold and clamp voltage requirements:
where:
If the LTC3900 still operates in discontinuous mode with
the calculated resistance value, increase the value of R
to raise the threshold. The resistors R
CS
form an R-C delay; this slows down the response time
of the comparator. The resistors and CS
currents also create an input offset error.

To minimize this delay and error, do not use resistance
value higher than required and make the PCB trace from

SYNC Input
Figure 7 shows the external circuit for the LTC3900 SYNC
input. With a selected type of pulse transformers, the
values of the C
an optimum SYNC pulse amplitude and width. A bigger
capacitor, C
The peak of this pulse should be much higher than the typi-
cal LTC3900 SYNC threshold of ±1.4V. Amplitudes greater
than ±5V will help to speed up the SYNC comparator and
reduce the SYNC to drivers propagation delay. The pulse
width should be wider than 75ns. Overshoot during the
pulse transformer reset interval must be minimized and
kept below the minimum SYNC threshold of ±1V. The
amount of overshoot can be reduced by having a smaller
