PRODUCTION DATA
A coupled inductor or a flyback-type transformer is required for this fly-buck topology auxiliary supply. Energy is transferred from primary to secondary when the low-side SR MOSFET is conducting.
The transformer turns ratio is selected based on the ratio of the primary output voltage to the secondary output voltage. In this design example, the two outputs are set to be equal and a 1:1 turns ratio transformer is selected, i.e., N2/N1 = 1. The primary output voltage is normally selected based on the input voltage range such that the duty cycle of the converter does not exceed 50% at the minimum input voltage. This condition is satisfied if VAUX1 < VIN(min) / 2.
Use Equation 86 to calculate the maximum inductor current ripple amplitude ΔIL(AUX) that can be tolerated without exceeding the peak current limit threshold IAUX(LIM) (200-mA typical) of the high-side switch,
where
In this design example, the maximum total output current IAUX(max) of the auxiliary supply referred to the primary side is 100-mA, as given by Equation 87.
Therefore, ΔIL(AUX) = 0.1-A. Use Equation 88 to calculate the minimum inductor value for the auxiliary supply.
Select a higher value of 150-µH to ensure the high-side switch current doesn’t exceed the minimum peak current limit threshold.
