The flyback converter is a popular converter type used in satellites to take the 28-V bus to lower voltages such as 5-V. This design details how to use the TPS7H5001-SP controller to bring voltage down at up to 10 A of current both with and without synchronous rectification.

The TPS7H5001-SP controller brings the 28-V input down to a 5-V output at 10 A. The main converter was tested with synchronous rectification and efficiency was compared to the same converter without the synchronous rectification. Equations to find the values needed for the passives is reviewed along with the results from the 28-V rail. Passives are meant to reflect space-grade components, but may not have perfect analogs. The main transformer uses space-grade materials.
