Secondary-Side  
Opto-Coupler Driver  
FEATURES  
DESCRIPTION  
The LT®4430 drives the opto-coupler that crosses the gal-  
vanic barrier in an isolated power supply. The IC contains  
a precision-trimmed reference, a high bandwidth error  
amplifier, an inverting gain of 6 stage to drive the opto-  
coupler and unique overshoot control circuitry.

Ground-Referenced Opto-Coupler Drive  
The LT4430’s 600mV reference provides ±0.ꢀ75 initial  
accuracy and ±±.ꢁ75 tolerance over temperature. A high  
bandwidth9MHzerroramplifierpermitssimplefrequency  
compensation and negligible phase shift at typical loop  
crossover frequencies. The opto-coupler driver provides  
±0mA of output current and is short-circuit protected.  
A unique overshoot control function prevents output  
overshoot on start-up and short-circuit recovery with a  
single capacitor.

PIN FUNCTIONS  
V
(Pin 1): This is the input supply that powers all in-  
FB (Pin 4): This is the inverting input of the error ampli-  
fier. The noninverting input is tied to the internal 0.6V  
reference. Input bias current for this pin is typically ꢀ7nA  
flowing out of the pin. This pin normally ties to a resistor  
divider network to set output voltage. Tie the top of the  
external resistor divider directly to the output voltage for  
best regulation performance.  
IN  
ternal circuitry. The input supply range is 3V minimum  
to ꢁ0V maximum and the typical input quiescent current  
is ±.9mA. Connect a ±μF bypass capacitor directly from  
V to GND.  
IN  
GND (Pin 2): Analog Ground Pin. It is also the negative  
senseterminalfortheinternal0.6Vreference. Connectthe  
externalfeedbackdividernetworkthatterminatestoground  
directly to this pin for best regulation and performance.  
COMP (Pin 5): This is the output of the error amplifier. The  
error amplifier is a true voltage-mode error amplifier and  
frequencycompensationisperformedaroundtheamplifier.  
Typical LT4430 compensation schemes use series R-C in  
parallel with C networks from the COMP pin to the FB pin.  
COMP also ties to the overshoot control amplifier logic  
that detects if the COMP pin is at its high clamp level. The  
logic activates the overshoot control amplifier if COMP is  
at its clamp level for longer than ±μs.  
OC (Pin 3): Overshoot Control Pin. A typical 8.7μA current  
sourceandacapacitorplacedfromthispintoGNDcontrols  
output voltage overshoot on start-up and recovery from  
short-circuit. The typical ramp time is (C • 0.6V)/8.7μA.  
OC  
If V is below V  
(its undervoltage lockout threshold),  
IN  
UVLO  
the OC pin is actively held low. The OC pin also ties to the  
overshoot control amplifier output. This amplifier moni-  
tors the FB pin voltage and the error amplifier output. If  
FB is low due to a short-circuit fault condition, the COMP  
pin goes high. Logic detects the error amplifier COMP pin  
high state and activates the overshoot control amplifier.  
The amplifier responds by discharging the OC capacitor  
down to the FB voltage plus a built-in offset voltage of  
48mV. If the short-circuit condition persists, the amplifier  
maintains the voltage on OC. If the short-circuit condition  
goes away, the FB pin recovers under the control of the  
OC pin.  
OPTO (Pin 6): This is the output of the amplifier that

A precision voltage reference, a high-bandwidth error

control amplifier comprise the LT4430. Referring to the  
block diagram, a start-up circuit establishes all internal  
currentandvoltagebiasingfortheIC.Aprecision-trimmed  
bandgap generates the 600mV reference voltage and a  
±.±V bias voltage for the opto-coupler driver. Room tem-

I , sets the ramp rate. On start-up, Q± actively holds the  
OC capacitor low until V of the LT4430 reaches its typi-  
IN  
cal undervoltage lockout threshold of ꢁ.ꢁV. Q± then turns  
off and the OC capacitor charges linearly. Qꢁ and Q3 OR  
the OC pin voltage and the 600mV reference voltage at  
the noninverting terminal of the error amplifier. The OC  
pin voltage is the reference voltage for the error amplifier  
until it increases above 600mV. If the feedback loop is in  
control, the FB pin voltage follows and regulates to the OC  
pin voltage. As the OC pin voltage increases past 600mV,  
the reference voltage takes control of the error amplifier  
and the FB pin regulates to 600mV. The OC pin voltage  
increases until it is internally clamped by Rꢁ, Q6 and V±.  
The OC pin’s typical clamp voltage of 0.93V ensures that  
Q3 turns off. All of I±’s current flows in Qꢁ, matching Iꢁ’s  
current in Q4.  
The LT4430 error amplifier senses the output voltage  
through an external resistor divider and regulates the  
FB pin to 600mV. The FB pin ties to the inverting input  
of the error amplifier. The error amplifier’s open loop DC  
gain is 80dB and its unity-gain crossover frequency of  
9MHz provides negligible phase shift at typical feedback  
loop crossover frequencies. The error amplifier is a true  
voltage-modeamplifierandfrequencycompensationcon-  
nects around the amplifier. Typical LT4430 compensation  
schemes use series R-C in parallel with C networks from  
the COMP pin to the FB pin.  
Inashort-circuitcondition,theoutputvoltagedecreasesto  
something well below the regulated level. The error ampli-  
fier reacts by increasing the COMP pin voltage, thereby  
decreasing the drive to the opto-coupler. The decreased  
opto-coupler bias signals the primary-side controller to  
increase the amount of power it delivers in an attempt to  
raise the output voltage back to its regulated value. As  
long as the fault persists, the output voltage remains low.  
The error amplifier’s COMP pin voltage increases until it  
reaches a clamp level set by Qꢀ and Vꢁ. Qꢀ’s resultant  
collector current drives internal logic that closes normally  
openswitchS±.Thisactionactivatestheovershootcontrol  
amplifier which employs a unity-gain follower configura-  
tion. The overshoot control amplifier monitors the FB pin  
voltage and, on S±’s closing, pulls the OC pin voltage  
down to the FB pin voltage plus a built-in offset voltage  
of typically 48mV. The built-in offset voltage serves two  
purposes. First, the offset voltage prevents the overshoot  
control amplifier from interfering with normal transient  
operating conditions. Second, the offset voltage biases  
the feedback loop so that if the short-circuit condition  
ends, the feedback loop immediately starts to increase  
the output voltage to its regulated value.  
The opto-coupler driver amplifies the voltage difference  
between the COMP pin and the ±.±V bias potential applied  
toitsnoninvertingterminalwithaninvertinggainof6.This  
signal drives the opto-coupler referenced to GND. Driving  
the opto-coupler referenced to GND accommodates low  
output voltages and simplifies loop frequency compen-  
sation as the secondary feedback path with a traditional  
“43±” topology is eliminated. A resistor in series with the  
opto-coupler sets the opto-coupler’s DC bias current. The  
opto driver amplifier sources a guaranteed maximum of  
±0mA,sinks370μAtypicallyandisshort-circuitprotected.  
Theopto-couplerdriveramplifier’stypical3dBbandwidth  
is 600kHz. The opto-coupler’s output crosses the galvanic  
isolation barrier and closes the feedback loop to the pri-  
mary-side controller.  
The LT4430 incorporates a unique overshoot control  
function that allows the user to ramp the output voltage  
on start-up and recovery from short-circuit conditions,

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
If the fault condition ceases, the output voltage increases.  
In response, the error amplifier COMP pin’s voltage  
decreases. This action opens switch S±, deactivates the  
overshootcontrolamplifierandallowstheOCpincapacitor  
to charge. The FB pin voltage increases quickly until the  
FB pin voltage exceeds the OC pin voltage. The feedback  
loop increases the drive to the opto-coupler until the FB  
pin follows and regulates to the OC pin voltage. Again, as  
the OC pin voltage increases past 600mV, the reference  
voltage takes control of the error amplifier and the FB pin  
regulates to 600mV.

The second solution is to make a preregulator as shown  
MOSFETs turn on and turnoff. The gate driver circuitry  
requires supply current in the range of ±0mA to ±00mA  
depending on the gate driver supply voltage, MOSFET size  
and switching frequency. The preregulator bias supply is  
ideal for powering both the LT4430 and the gate driver  
circuitry, especially since the gate drivers typically use a  
supply voltage between 7V to ±ꢁV. The preregulator circuit  
finds wide use in fully synchronous forward converters,

Figures 4a to 4d demonstrate bias supply circuits for the  
fully-synchronous push-pull topology. Biasing for full-  
bridge schemes is identical to the push-pull circuits with  
the obvious difference in the primary-side drive. In Figure  
straints such as a very wide input voltage range may force  
employment of other biasing circuits. Other methods of  
generating the bias supply may include an additional  
transformer or output inductor winding, low-cost linear  
regulators, discrete or monolithic charge pumps and  
buck/boostregulators.However,ifthebiassupplygetsthis

Opto-couplers are available in a wide variety of package  
styles and performance criteria including isolation rating,  
CTR,outputtransistorbreakdownvoltage,outputtransistor  
current capability, and response time. Table ± lists several  
manufacturers of opto-coupler devices, although this is  
by no means a complete list.  
Figure 6b and its transfer function illustrate most of the  
possible poles and zeroes that can be set and are shown  
for the sake of completeness. In a practical application,  
the transfer function simplifies considerably because not

APPLICATIONS INFORMATION  
Setting Overshoot Control Time  
outputloadcharacteristicsheavilyinfluencepowersupply  
behavior as it attempts to bring the output voltage into  
regulation. Frequency compensation values that provide  
stable response under normal operating conditions can  
allow severe output voltage overshoot to occur during  
start-up and short-circuit recovery conditions. Large  
overshoot often results in damage or destruction to the  
load circuitry being powered, not a desirable trait.  
Figure ꢀ shows how to calculate the overshoot time by  
connecting a capacitor from the OC pin to GND.  
The overshoot control time, t , is set by the formula:  
OC  
t
= (C • 0.6V)/8.7μA  
OC  
OC  
The OC pin requires a minimum capacitor of ±00pF due to  
stabilityrequirementswiththeovershootcontrolamplifier.  
This yields a minimum time of ꢀμs which is generally on  
the order of a few cycles of the switching regulator. Us-  
ing the minimum capacitor value results in no influence  
on start-up characteristics. Larger OC capacitor values  
increase the overshoot control time and only increase the  
amplifier stability. Do not modulate the overshoot control  
time by externally increasing the OC charging current or  
by externally driving the OC pin.  
TheLT4430’sovershootcontrolcircuitryplusoneexternal  
capacitor (C ) provide independent control of start-up  
OC  
and short-circuit recovery response without compro-  
mising small-signal frequency compensation. Choosing  
the optimum C value is a straightforward laboratory  
OC  
procedure. The following description and set of pictures  
explain this procedure.

steps are complete, construct a test setup that monitors  
start-upandshort-circuitrecoverywaveforms.Performthis  
testing with the output lightly loaded. Light load, following  
full slew operation, is the worst-case as the feedback loop  
transitions from full to minimal power delivery.  
Figure 7. Setting Overshoot Control Time  
Choosing the Overshoot Control (OC) Capacitor Value  
As discussed in the frequency compensation section,  
the designer enjoys considerable freedom in setting the  
feedback loop’s pole and zero locations for stability. Dif-  
ferent pole and zero combinations can produce the same  
gain-phasecharacteristics,butresultinnoticeablydifferent  
large-signalresponses.Choosingfrequencycompensation  
values that optimize both small-signal and large-signal  
responses is difficult. Compromise values often result.  
As an example, refer to the schematic on the last page  
illustrating the 7V, A isolated flyback converter. All of  
the following photos are taken with V = 48V and I

and short-circuit recovery behavior with no overshoot  
control compensation (C = ±00pF minimum). The 7V  
OC  
output overshoots by several volts on both start-up and  
short-circuit recovery due to the conservative nature of  
the small-signal frequency compensation values.  
Power supply start-up and short-circuit recovery are the  
worst-case large signal conditions. Input voltage and

Next, increaseC svalue. Eitheruseacapacitorsubstitu-

example discussed, the primary-side control circuitry is  
always active. Switching never stops in short-circuit. The  
LT4430 error amplifier COMP pin changes from its low  
clamp level to its higher regulating value during start-up  
and changes from its high clamp level to its lower regulat-  
ing point during short-circuit recovery. This large-signal  
behavior explains the observed difference in the start-up  
versus short-circuit recovery waveforms.

the start-up and short-circuit recovery waveforms. Note  
any changes. Figures 8b to 8e illustrate what happens as

C
OC  
= 0.0±68μF in Figure 8b begins to affect loop dynam-  
ics, but start-up still exhibits about ±.7V of overshoot.  
Short-circuit recovery is considerably more damped. C  
= 0.0ꢁꢁμF in Figure 8c damps start-up overshoot to 0.7V  
andshort-circuitrecoveryremainssimilartothatofFigure  
OC  
A final point of discussion involves the chosen C value.  
OC  
LTC recommends that the designer use a value that con-  
trols overshoot to the acceptable level, but is not made  
overly large. The temptation arises to use the overshoot  
control function as a power supply “soft-start” feature.  
8b. C = 0.033μF in Figure 8d provides under ±00mV  
OC  
of overshoot and short-circuit recovery is slightly more  
damped. C = 0.04ꢀμF in Figure 8e achieves zero over-  
OC  
Larger values of C , above what is required to control  
OC  
shoot at the expense of additional damping and delay time  
overshoot, do result in smaller dV/dt rates and longer  
in short-circuit recovery. In this example, C = 0.033μF

start-up times. However, large values of C may stall the  
OC  
provides the best value for both start-up and short-circuit  
recovery. Figure 8f provides an expanded scale of the  
feedback loop during start-up or short-circuit recovery,  
resulting in an extended period of time that the output  
voltage “flatspots”. This voltage shelf may occur at an  
intermediatevalueofoutputvoltage,promotinganomalous  
behavior with the powered load circuitry. If this situation

occurs with the desired C value, solutions may require  
OC  
Start-upandshort-circuitrecoverywaveformsforvarious  
designs will differ from the photos shown in this example.  
Factors affecting these waveforms include the isolated  
topology chosen, the primary-side and secondary-side  
bias circuitry and input/output conditions. For instance,  
in many isolated power supplies, a winding on the main  
power transformer bootstraps the supply voltage for the  
primary-side control circuitry. Under short-circuit condi-  
tions, the primary-side control circuitry’s supply voltage  
collapses, generating a restart cycle. Recovery from  
circuit modifications. In particular, bias supply holdup  
times are a prime point of concern as switching stops  
during these output voltage flatspots. As a reminder,  
the purpose of this LT4430 circuitry is to control and  
prevent excessive output voltage overshoot that would  
otherwise induce damage or destruction, not to control  
power supply timing, sequencing, etc. It is ultimately the  
user’s responsibility to define the acceptance criteria for  
any waveforms generated by the power supply relative to  
overall system requirements.
