High Voltage, high Power DC-DC converter with LT3758 (200 - 1.2kV in; 110VDC; 2,5Aout)

Category: Hardware
Product Number: LT3758

For a PV application, I like to design a High Voltage, high Power DC-DC converter with 200 - 1.2kVDC in and 110VDC; 2,5Aout.

Can I use the LT3758 for it? Does anybody has other suggestions? Evalboards

Thank you

Can I use the LT3758 for it?

No. The maximum input voltage of LT3758 is 100V.

  • Hello Steffen,

    I would look at a half bridge LLC. Unfortunately we don't have any LLC controllers.

    Another option would be a phase shifted full bridge using the LTC3722.

    Due to the high input voltage of 1200V and 250W output a bridge topology would be best because this will clamp the max Vds of the the fets close to 1200V.

    You would also need to design a startup circuit to temporarily (10ms -100ms) supply a bias voltage (10V or 15V etc...) to the IC to get things running, then use an aux winding on the main transformer to take over and supply the bias power.
