This reference design provides a tiny auxiliary +12-V supply for general purpose. In this case, SEPIC topology supports wide input range from 6 V to 60 V. Even at inputs as low as 3.5 V, this reference design is able to provide half of the output power. Another benefit of SEPIC is low reflected ripple, resulting in less conducted emissions. The small magnetizing inductance sets right half plane zero fairly high, so loop bandwidth can be increased and allows a small output capacitance by keeping good transient response.
Features
- Tiny 12-V power supply accepts a wide input voltage range of 6 V to 60 V
- The SEPIC topology is well suited for low reflected ripple due to continous input current
- Small form factor is realized due to integrated FET
- Board with only two-layer and single-side assembly simplifies manufacturing
