PRODUCTION DATA.
The primary output voltage in a Fly-Buck converter should be no more than one half of the minimum input voltage. Therefore, at the minimum VIN of 36 V, the primary output voltage ( VOUT ) should be no higher than 18 V. The isolated output voltage of VOUTISO in Figure 34 is set at 12 V by selecting a transformer with a turns ratio (N1:N2 :: NPRI:NSEC) of 1:1. Using this turns ratio, the required primary output voltage VOUT is calculated in Equation 19:
The 0.7 V (VFD1) added to VOUTISO in Equation 19 represents the forward voltage drop of the secondary rectifier diode. By setting the primary output voltage VOUT to 12.7-V by selecting the correct feedback resistors, the secondary voltage is regulated at 12-V nominally. Adjustment of the primary side VOUT may be required to compensate for voltage errors due to the leakage inductance of the transformer, the resistance of the transformer windings, the diode drop in the power path on the secondary side and the low-side FET of the LM5161.
