LT3751
Production
The LT3751 is a high input voltage capable flyback controller designed to rapidly charge a large capacitor to a user-adjustable high target voltage set...
Datasheet

I am trying to create following isolated flyback capacitor charger:
Vin: 12 V
Vout: 510V
N2/N1 = 25
Relatively low current and capacitor value is also not that large so maybe max. 10u.
Circuit works perfectly fine when I have high current ( so low current sense resistor, for example 10mOhm) or a lower output voltage.
However if I limit my current and try to reach 510 Volts the circuit does not stop to charge. I even look at the current flowing through the RBG resistor and when working correctly the charger stops once the voltage over this resistor reaches 0.98 Volts. However when it doesnt work the voltage(and thus also the current) increases past this. I thought this was the criterion for the circuit to stop.
I hope you can help me solve this problem as I am really out of ideas as to why this is happening.
Hi BennyG,
Have you verified your design using LTspice? Even then, I'm not sure if it is advisable to have an output of 510V since the typical applications in the datasheet are only up to 500V. You may also want to utilize the FB pin to provide output voltage regulation.
Hi Benny G , I am also facing a similar scenario when o/p voltage set to 600V can you please advice if you have found the solution . I dont want to use fb pin as I want galvanically isolated
