The LT®8302 is a monolithic micropower isolated flyback
converter. By sampling the isolated output voltage directly
from the primary-side flyback waveform, the part requires
no third winding or opto-isolator for regulation. The output
voltage is programmed with two external resistors and a
third optional temperature compensation resistor. Boundary mode operation provides a small magnetic solution with
excellent load regulation. Low ripple Burst Mode operation
maintains high efficiency at light load while minimizing the
output voltage ripple. A 3.6A, 65V DMOS power switch
is integrated along with all the high voltage circuitry and
control logic into a thermally enhanced 8-lead SO package.

The LT8302 operates from an input voltage range of 2.8V
to 42V and delivers up to 18W of isolated output power.
The high level of integration and the use of boundary
and low ripple burst modes result in a simple to use, low
component count, and high efficiency application solution
for isolated power delivery.

Note 1: Stresses beyond those listed under Absolute Maximum Ratings
may cause permanent damage to the device. Exposure to any Absolute
Maximum Rating condition for extended periods may affect device
reliability and lifetime.
Note 2: The SW pin is rated to 65V for transients. Depending on the
leakage inductance voltage spike, operating waveforms of the SW pin
should be derated to keep the flyback voltage spike below 65V as shown
in Figure 5.
Note 3: The LT8302E is guaranteed to meet performance specifications
from 0°C to 125°C junction temperature. Specifications over the –40°C
to 125°C operating junction temperature range are assured by design,

Pin Functions
EN/UVLO (Pin 1): Enable/Undervoltage Lockout. The
EN/UVLO pin is used to enable the LT8302. Pull the pin
below 0.3V to shut down the LT8302. This pin has an accurate 1.214V threshold and can be used to program a VIN
undervoltage lockout (UVLO) threshold using a resistor
divider from VIN to ground. A 2.5µA current hysteresis
allows the programming of VIN UVLO hysteresis. If neither
function is used, tie this pin directly to VIN.
INTVCC (Pin 2): Internal 3V Linear Regulator Output. The
INTVCC pin is supplied from VIN and powers the internal
control circuitry and gate driver. Do not overdrive the
INTVCC pin with any external supply, such as a third winding
supply. Locally bypass this pin to ground with a minimum
1µF ceramic capacitor.
VIN (Pin 3): Input Supply. The VIN pin supplies current to
the internal circuitry and serves as a reference voltage for
the feedback circuitry connected to the RFB pin. Locally
bypass this pin to ground with a capacitor.
GND (Pin 4, Exposed Pad Pin 9): Ground. The exposed
pad provides both electrical contact to ground and good
thermal contact to the printed circuit board. Solder the
exposed pad directly to the ground plane.
SW (Pin 5): Drain of the Internal DMOS Power Switch.
Minimize trace area at this pin to reduce EMI and voltage
spikes.
RFB (Pin 6): Input Pin for External Feedback Resistor.
Connect a resistor from this pin to the transformer primary
SW pin. The ratio of the RFB resistor to the RREF resistor,
times the internal voltage reference, determines the output
voltage (plus the effect of any non-unity transformer turns
ratio). Minimize trace area at this pin.
RREF (Pin 7): Input Pin for External Ground Referred Reference Resistor. The resistor at this pin should be in the
range of 10k, but for convenience in selecting a resistor
divider ratio, the value may range from 9.09k to 11.0k.
TC (Pin 8): Output Voltage Temperature Compensation. The
voltage at this pin is proportional to absolute temperature
(PTAT) with temperature coefficient equal to 3.35mV/°K,
i.e., equal to 1V at room temperature 25°C. The TC pin
voltage can be used to estimate the LT8302 junction temperature. Connect a resistor from this pin to the RREF pin
to compensate the output diode temperature coefficient.

LT8302
Operation
The LT8302 is a current mode switching regulator IC
designed specially for the isolated flyback topology. The
key problem in isolated topologies is how to communicate
the output voltage information from the isolated secondary
side of the transformer to the primary side for regulation.
Historically, opto-isolators or extra transformer windings
communicate this information across the isolation boundary. Opto-isolator circuits waste output power, and the
extra components increase the cost and physical size of
the power supply. Opto-isolators can also cause system
issues due to limited dynamic response, nonlinearity, unitto-unit variation and aging over lifetime. Circuits employing
extra transformer windings also exhibit deficiencies, as
using an extra winding adds to the transformer’s physical
size and cost, and dynamic response is often mediocre.
The LT8302 samples the isolated output voltage through
the primary-side flyback pulse waveform. In this manner,
neither opto-isolator nor extra transformer winding is required for regulation. Since the LT8302 operates in either
boundary conduction mode or discontinuous conduction
mode, the output voltage is always sampled on the SW
pin when the secondary current is zero. This method improves load regulation without the need of external load
compensation components.
The LT8302 is a simple to use micropower isolated flyback converter housed in a thermally enhanced 8-lead
SO package. The output voltage is programmed with two
external resistors. An optional TC resistor provides easy
output diode temperature compensation. By integrating
the loop compensation and soft-start inside, the part
reduces the number of external components. As shown
in the Block Diagram, many of the blocks are similar to
those found in traditional switching regulators including
reference, regulators, oscillator, logic, current amplifier,
current comparator, driver, and power switch. The novel
sections include a flyback pulse sense circuit, a sampleand-hold error amplifier, and a boundary mode detector,
as well as the additional logic for boundary conduction
mode, discontinuous conduction mode, and low ripple
Burst Mode operation.
Quasi-Resonant Boundary Mode Operation
The LT8302 features quasi-resonant boundary conduction
mode operation at heavy load, where the chip turns on the
primary power switch when the secondary current is zero
and the SW rings to its valley. Boundary conduction mode
is a variable frequency, variable peak-current switching
scheme. The power switch turns on and the transformer
primary current increases until an internally controlled peak
current limit. After the power switch turns off, the voltage
on the SW pin rises to the output voltage multiplied by
the primary-to-secondary transformer turns ratio plus the
input voltage. When the secondary current through the
output diode falls to zero, the SW pin voltage collapses
and rings around VIN. A boundary mode detector senses
this event and turns the power switch back on at its valley.

LT8302
Operation
Boundary conduction mode returns the secondary current
to zero every cycle, so parasitic resistive voltage drops
do not cause load regulation errors. Boundary conduction mode also allows the use of smaller transformers
compared to continuous conduction mode and does not
exhibit subharmonic oscillation.
Discontinuous Conduction Mode Operation
As the load gets lighter, boundary conduction mode increases the switching frequency and decreases the switch
peak current at the same ratio. Running at a higher switching
frequency up to several MHz increases switching and gate
charge losses. To avoid this scenario, the LT8302 has an
additional internal oscillator, which clamps the maximum
switching frequency to be less than 380kHz. Once the
switching frequency hits the internal frequency clamp,
the part starts to delay the switch turn-on and operates
in discontinuous conduction mode.
Low Ripple Burst Mode Operation
Unlike traditional flyback converters, the LT8302 has to
turn on and off at least for a minimum amount of time
and with a minimum frequency to allow accurate sampling
of the output voltage. The inherent minimum switch current limit and minimum switch-off time are necessary to
guarantee the correct operation of specific applications.
As the load gets very light, the LT8302 starts to fold back
the switching frequency while keeping the minimum switch
current limit. So the load current is able to decrease while
still allowing minimum switch-off time for the sample-andhold error amplifier. Meanwhile, the part switches between
sleep mode and active mode, thereby reducing the effective quiescent current to improve light load efficiency. In
this condition, the LT8302 runs in low ripple Burst Mode
operation. The typical 12kHz minimum switching frequency
determines how often the output voltage is sampled and
also the minimum load requirement.

Applications Information
Output Voltage
The RFB and RREF resistors as depicted in the Block Diagram
are external resistors used to program the output voltage.
The LT8302 operates similar to traditional current mode
switchers, except in the use of a unique flyback pulse
sense circuit and a sample-and-hold error amplifier, which
sample and therefore regulate the isolated output voltage
from the flyback pulse.
Operation is as follows: when the power switch M1 turns
off, the SW pin voltage rises above the VIN supply. The
amplitude of the flyback pulse, i.e., the difference between
the SW pin voltage and VIN supply, is given as:
VFLBK = (VOUT + VF + ISEC • ESR) • NPS
VF = Output diode forward voltage
ISEC = Transformer secondary current
ESR = Total impedance of secondary circuit
NPS = Transformer effective primary-to-secondary
turns ratio
The flyback voltage is then converted to a current, IRFB,
by the RFB resistor and the flyback pulse sense circuit
(M2 and M3). This current, IRFB, also flows through the
RREF resistor to generate a ground-referred voltage. The
resulting voltage feeds to the inverting input of the sampleand-hold error amplifier. Since the sample-and-hold error
amplifier samples the voltage when the secondary current
is zero, the (ISEC • ESR) term in the VFLBK equation can be
assumed to be zero.
The internal reference voltage, VREF, 1.00V, feeds to the
noninverting input of the sample-and-hold error amplifier. The relatively high gain in the overall loop causes the
voltage at the RREF pin to be nearly equal to the internal
reference voltage VREF. The resulting relationship between
VFLBK and VREF can be expressed as:
⎛ VFLBK ⎞
⎜⎝ R ⎟⎠ •RREF = VREF or
FB
⎛ R ⎞
VFLBK = VREF • ⎜ FB ⎟
⎝ RREF ⎠
VREF = Internal reference voltage 1.00V
Combination with the previous VFLBK equation yields an
equation for VOUT, in terms of the RFB and RREF resistors,
transformer turns ratio, and diode forward voltage:
⎛ R ⎞ ⎛ 1 ⎞
VOUT = VREF • ⎜ FB ⎟ • ⎜
– VF
⎝ RREF ⎠ ⎝ NPS ⎟⎠
Output Temperature Compensation
The first term in the VOUT equation does not have temperature dependence, but the output diode forward voltage, VF,
has a significant negative temperature coefficient (–1mV/°C
to –2mV/°C). Such a negative temperature coefficient produces approximately 200mV to 300mV voltage variation
on the output voltage across temperature.
For higher voltage outputs, such as 12V and 24V, the
output diode temperature coefficient has a negligible effect on the output voltage regulation. For lower voltage
outputs, such as 3.3V and 5V, however, the output diode
temperature coefficient does count for an extra 2% to 5%
output voltage regulation.
The LT8302 junction temperature usually tracks the output
diode junction temperature to the first order. To compensate
the negative temperature coefficient of the output diode,
a resistor, RTC, connected between the TC and RREF pins
generates a proportional-to-absolute-temperature (PTAT)
current. The PTAT current is zero at 25°C, flows into the
RREF pin at hot temperature, and flows out of the RREF pin
at cold temperature. With the RTC resistor in place, the
output voltage equation is revised as follows:
VOUT = VREF •

Selecting Actual RREF, RFB, RTC Resistor Values
The LT8302 uses a unique sampling scheme to regulate
the isolated output voltage. Due to the sampling nature,
the scheme contains repeatable delays and error sources,
which will affect the output voltage and force a re-evaluation
of the RFB and RTC resistor values. Therefore, a simple
2-step sequential process is recommended for selecting
resistor values.
Rearrangement of the expression for VOUT in the previous
sections yields the starting value for RFB:
RFB =
(
RREF •NPS • VOUT + VF (TO)
VREF
)
VOUT = Output voltage
VF (TO) = Output diode forward voltage at 25°C = ~0.3V
NPS = Transformer effective primary-to-secondary
turns ratio
The equation shows that the RFB resistor value is independent of the RTC resistor value. Any RTC resistor connected
between the TC and RREF pins has no effect on the output
voltage setting at 25°C because the TC pin voltage is equal
to the RREF regulation voltage at 25°C.
The RREF resistor value should be approximately 10k
because the LT8302 is trimmed and specified using this
value. If the RREF resistor value varies considerably from
10k, additional errors will result. However, a variation in
RREF up to 10% is acceptable. This yields a bit of freedom
in selecting standard 1% resistor values to yield nominal
RFB/RREF ratios.
First, build and power up the application with the starting
RREF, RFB values (no RTC resistor yet) and other components connected, and measure the regulated output voltage, VOUT(MEAS). The new RFB value can be adjusted to:
RFB(NEW) =
VOUT
VOUT(MEAS)
•RFB
Second, with a new RFB resistor value selected, the output
diode temperature coefficient in the application can be
tested to determine the RTC value. Still without the RTC
resistor, the VOUT should be measured over temperature
at a desired target output load. It is very important for
this evaluation that uniform temperature be applied to
both the output diode and the LT8302. If freeze spray or
a heat gun is used, there can be a significant mismatch
in temperature between the two devices that causes significant error. Attempting to extrapolate the data from a
diode data sheet is another option if there is no method
to apply uniform heating or cooling such as an oven. With
at least two data points spreading across the operating
temperature range, the output diode temperature coefficient can be determined by:
– ( δVF /δT ) =
VOUT ( T1) – VOUT ( T2)
T1– T2
Using the measured output diode temperature coefficient,
an exact RTC value can be selected with the following
equation:
R TC =
(δVTC /δT ) • ⎛ RFB ⎞
– ( δVF /δT ) ⎜⎝ NPS ⎟⎠
Once the RREF, RFB, and RTC values are selected, the regulation accuracy from board to board for a given application
will be very consistent, typically under ±5% when including device variation of all the components in the system
(assuming resistor tolerances and transformer windings
matching within ±1%). However, if the transformer or
the output diode is changed, or the layout is dramatically
altered, there may be some change in VOUT.

Output Power
A flyback converter has a complicated relationship between
the input and output currents compared to a buck or a
boost converter. A boost converter has a relatively constant
maximum input current regardless of input voltage and a
buck converter has a relatively constant maximum output
current regardless of input voltage. This is due to the
continuous non-switching behavior of the two currents. A
flyback converter has both discontinuous input and output
currents which make it similar to a nonisolated buck-boost
converter. The duty cycle will affect the input and output
currents, making it hard to predict output power. In addition, the winding ratio can be changed to multiply the
output current at the expense of a higher switch voltage.
12V, and 24V. The maximum output power curve is the
calculated output power if the switch voltage is 50V during the switch-off time. 15V of margin is left for leakage
inductance voltage spike. To achieve this power level at
a given input, a winding ratio value must be calculated
to stress the switch to 50V, resulting in some odd ratio
values. The curves below the maximum output power
curve are examples of common winding ratio values and
the amount of output power at given input voltages.
One design example would be a 5V output converter with
a minimum input voltage of 8V and a maximum input voltage of 32V. A three-to-one winding ratio fits this design
example perfectly and outputs equal to 15.3W at 32V but
lowers to 7.7W at 8V.
The graphs in Figures 1 to 4 show the typical maximum
output power possible for the output voltages 3.3V, 5V,

Applications Information
The equations below calculate output power:
the power switch shorter than approximately 160ns. This
minimum switch-on time is mainly for leading-edge blanking the initial switch turn-on current spike. If the inductor
current exceeds the desired current limit during that time,
oscillation may occur at the output as the current control
loop will lose its ability to regulate. Therefore, the following
equation relating to maximum input voltage must also be
followed in selecting primary-side magnetizing inductance:
POUT = η • VIN • D • ISW(MAX) • 0.5
η = Efficiency = ~85%
D = Duty Cycle =
( VOUT + VF ) •NPS
( VOUT + VF ) •NPS + VIN
ISW(MAX) = Maximum switch current limit = 3.6A (MIN)

Primary Inductance Requirement
ISW(MIN)
tON(MIN) = Minimum switch-on time = 160ns (TYP)
The LT8302 obtains output voltage information from the
reflected output voltage on the SW pin. The conduction
of secondary current reflects the output voltage on the
primary SW pin. The sample-and-hold error amplifier needs
a minimum 350ns to settle and sample the reflected output
voltage. In order to ensure proper sampling, the secondary winding needs to conduct current for a minimum of
350ns. The following equation gives the minimum value
for primary-side magnetizing inductance:
LPRI ≥
tON(MIN) • VIN(MAX)
In general, choose a transformer with its primary magnetizing inductance about 40% to 60% larger than the
minimum values calculated above. A transformer with
much larger inductance will have a bigger physical size
and may cause instability at light load.
Selecting a Transformer
tOFF(MIN) •NPS • ( VOUT + VF )
Transformer specification and design is perhaps the most
critical part of successfully applying the LT8302. In addition
to the usual list of guidelines dealing with high frequency
isolated power supply transformer design, the following
information should be carefully considered.
ISW(MIN)
tOFF(MIN) = Minimum switch-off time = 350ns (TYP)
ISW(MIN) = Minimum switch current limit = 0.87A (TYP)
Linear Technology has worked with several leading magnetic component manufacturers to produce pre-designed
flyback transformers for use with the LT8302. Table 1
shows the details of these transformers.
In addition to the primary inductance requirement for
the minimum switch-off time, the LT8302 has minimum
switch-on time that prevents the chip from turning on

Applications Information
Turns Ratio
Note that when choosing an RFB/RREF resistor ratio to set
output voltage, the user has relative freedom in selecting
a transformer turns ratio to suit a given application. In
contrast, the use of simple ratios of small integers, e.g.,
3:1, 2:1, 1:1, etc., provides more freedom in settling total
turns and mutual inductance.
Typically, choose the transformer turns ratio to maximize
available output power. For low output voltages (3.3V
or 5V), a N:1 turns ratio can be used with multiple primary windings relative to the secondary to maximize the
transformer’s current gain (and output power). However,
remember that the SW pin sees a voltage that is equal
to the maximum input supply voltage plus the output
voltage multiplied by the turns ratio. In addition, leakage
inductance will cause a voltage spike (VLEAKAGE) on top of
this reflected voltage. This total quantity needs to remain
below the 65V absolute maximum rating of the SW pin to
prevent breakdown of the internal power switch. Together
these conditions place an upper limit on the turns ratio,
NPS, for a given application. Choose a turns ratio low
enough to ensure
NPS <
65V – VIN(MAX) – VLEAKAGE
VOUT + VF
For larger N:1 values, choose a transformer with a larger
physical size to deliver additional current. In addition,
choose a large enough inductance value to ensure that
the switch-off time is long enough to accurately sample
the output voltage.
For lower output power levels, choose a 1:1 or 1:N transformer for the absolute smallest transformer size. A 1:N
transformer will minimize the magnetizing inductance
(and minimize size), but will also limit the available output
power. A higher 1:N turns ratio makes it possible to have
very high output voltages without exceeding the breakdown
voltage of the internal power switch.
The turns ratio is an important element in the isolated
feedback scheme, and directly affects the output voltage
accuracy. Make sure the transformer manufacturer specifies turns ratio accuracy within ±1%.
Saturation Current
The current in the transformer windings should not exceed
its rated saturation current. Energy injected once the core is
saturated will not be transferred to the secondary and will
instead be dissipated in the core. When designing custom
transformers to be used with the LT8302, the saturation
current should always be specified by the transformer
manufacturers.
Winding Resistance
Resistance in either the primary or secondary windings
will reduce overall power efficiency. Good output voltage
regulation will be maintained independent of winding resistance due to the boundary/discontinuous conduction
mode operation of the LT8302.
Leakage Inductance and Snubbers
Transformer leakage inductance on either the primary or
secondary causes a voltage spike to appear on the primary
after the power switch turns off. This spike is increasingly
prominent at higher load currents where more stored energy must be dissipated. It is very important to minimize
transformer leakage inductance.
When designing an application, adequate margin should
be kept for the worst-case leakage voltage spikes even
under overload conditions. In most cases shown in Figure 5, the reflected output voltage on the primary plus VIN
should be kept below 50V. This leaves at least 15V margin
for the leakage spike across line and load conditions. A
larger voltage margin will be required for poorly wound
transformers or for excessive leakage inductance.

then add capacitance until the period of the ringing is 1.5
to 2 times longer. The change in period determines the
value of the parasitic capacitance, from which the parasitic inductance can be also determined from the initial
period. Once the value of the SW node capacitance and
inductance is known, a series resistor can be added to
the snubber capacitance to dissipate power and critically
damp the ringing. The equation for deriving the optimal
series resistance using the observed periods ( tPERIOD and
tPERIOD(SNUBBED)) and snubber capacitance (CSNUBBER) is:
Figure 5. Maximum Voltages for SW Pin Flyback Waveform
In addition to the voltage spikes, the leakage inductance
also causes the SW pin ringing for a while after the power
switch turns off. To prevent the voltage ringing falsely trigger boundary mode detector, the LT8302 internally blanks
the boundary mode detector for approximately 250ns.
Any remaining voltage ringing after 250ns may turn the
power switch back on again before the secondary current
falls to zero. In this case, the LT8302 enters continuous
conduction mode. So the leakage inductance spike ringing
should be limited to less than 250ns.
To clamp and damp the leakage voltage spikes, a
(RC + DZ) snubber circuit in Figure 6 is recommended.
The RC (resistor-capacitor) snubber quickly damps the
voltage spike ringing and provides great load regulation
and EMI performance. And the DZ (diode-Zener) ensures
well defined and consistent clamping voltage to protect
SW pin from exceeding its 65V absolute maximum rating.

Note that energy absorbed by the RC snubber will be
converted to heat and will not be delivered to the load.
In high voltage or high current applications, the snubber
needs to be sized for thermal dissipation. A 470pF capacitor in series with a 39Ω resistor is a good starting point.
For the DZ snubber, proper care should be taken when
choosing both the diode and the Zener diode. Schottky
diodes are typically the best choice, but some PN diodes
can be used if they turn on fast enough to limit the leakage inductance spike. Choose a diode that has a reversevoltage rating higher than the maximum SW pin voltage.
The Zener diode breakdown voltage should be chosen to
balance power loss and switch voltage protection. The best
compromise is to choose the largest voltage breakdown
with 5V margin. Use the following equation to make the
proper choice:
VZENNER(MAX) ≤ 60V – VIN(MAX)

power as minimum load. Alternatively, a Zener diode with
its breakdown of 10% higher than the output voltage can
serve as a minimum load if pre-loading is not acceptable.

The LT8302 samples the isolated output voltage from
the primary-side flyback pulse waveform. The flyback
pulse occurs once the primary switch turns off and the
secondary winding conducts current. In order to sample
the output voltage, the LT8302 has to turn on and off for a
minimum amount of time and with a minimum frequency.
The LT8302 delivers a minimum amount of energy even
When the output is heavily overloaded or shorted to ground,
the reflected SW pin waveform rings longer than the internal blanking time. After the 350ns minimum switch-off
time, the excessive ringing falsely triggers the boundary
mode detector and turns the power switch back on again
before the secondary current falls to zero. Under this
condition, the LT8302 runs into continuous conduction
mode at 380kHz maximum switching frequency. If the
sampled RREF voltage is still less than 0.6V after 11ms
(typ) soft-start timer, the LT8302 initiates a new soft-start
cycle. If the sampled RREF voltage is larger than 0.6V after
11ms, the switch current may run away and exceed the
4.5A maximum current limit. Once the switch current hits
7.2A over current limit, the LT8302 also initiates a new
soft-start cycle. Under either condition, the new soft-start
cycle throttles back both the switch current limit and switch
frequency. The output short-circuit protection prevents the
switch current from running away and limits the average
output diode current.

Applications Information
Example:
D=
to calculate the output capacitance:
(5V + 0.3V ) • 3 = 0.57
(5V + 0.3V ) • 3 + 12V
5V • 1.5A • 2
ISW =
0.8 • 12V • 0.57
fSW = 277kHz
Design for output voltage ripple less than ±1% of VOUT,
i.e., 100mV.
Step 3: Choose the output diode.
Two main criteria for choosing the output diode include
forward current rating and reverse-voltage rating. The
maximum load requirement is a good first-order guess
at the average current requirement for the output diode.
Under output short-circuit condition, the output diode
needs to conduct much higher current. Therefore, a conservative metric is 60% of the maximum switch current
limit multiplied by the turns ratio:
IDIODE(MAX) = 0.6 • ISW(MAX) • NPS
COUT =
2
9µH • ( 4.5A )
= 182µF
2 • 5V • 0.1V
Remember ceramic capacitors lose capacitance with applied voltage. The capacitance can drop to 40% of quoted
capacitance at the maximum voltage rating. So a 220µF,
6.3V rating ceramic capacitor is chosen.
Step 5: Design snubber circuit.
The snubber circuit protects the power switch from leakage inductance voltage spike. A (RC + DZ) snubber is
recommended for this application. A 470pF capacitor in
series with a 39Ω resistor is chosen as the RC snubber.
The maximum Zener breakdown voltage is set according
to the maximum VIN:
VZENNER(MAX) ≤ 60V – VIN(MAX)
Example:
Example:
IDIODE(MAX) = 8.1A
Next calculate reverse voltage requirement using maximum VIN:
LPRI •ISW2
2 • VOUT • ΔVOUT
Example:
The transformer also needs to be rated for the correct
saturation current level across line and load conditions.
A saturation current rating larger than 7A is necessary
to work with the LT8302. The 750311564 from Würth is
chosen as the flyback transformer.
VREVERSE = VOUT +
COUT =
VIN(MAX)
NPS
VZENNER(MAX) ≤ 60V – 32V = 28V
A 24V Zener with a maximum of 26V will provide optimal
protection and minimize power loss. So a 24V, 1.5W Zener
from Central Semiconductor (CMZ5934B) is chosen.
Choose a diode that is fast and has sufficient reverse
voltage breakdown:
Example:
VREVERSE > VSW(MAX)
32V
VREVERSE = 5V +
= 15.7V
3
VSW(MAX) = VIN(MAX) + VZENNER(MAX)
The PDS835L (8A, 35V diode) from Diodes Inc. is chosen.
Step 4: Choose the output capacitor.
The output capacitor should be chosen to minimize the
output voltage ripple while considering the increase in size
and cost of a larger capacitor. Use the following equation
Example:
VREVERSE > 60V
A 100V, 1A diode from Diodes Inc. (DFLS1100) is chosen.

Step 6: Select the RREF and RFB resistors.
Example:
Use the following equation to calculate the starting values
for RREF and RFB:
RFB =
(
– ( δVF /δT ) =
)
RREF • NPS • VOUT + VF ( TO)
VREF
RTC =
5.189V – 5.041V
= 1.48mV / °C
100°C – ( 0°C)
3.35mV/°C ⎛ 154 ⎞
•⎜
⎟ = 115k
1.48mV/°C ⎝ 3 ⎠
RREF = 10k
Step 9: Select the EN/UVLO resistors.
Example:
Determine the amount of hysteresis required and calculate
R1 resistor value:
RFB =
10k • 3 • ( 5V + 0.3V )
= 159k
1.00V
VIN(HYS) = 2.5µA • R1
For 1% standard values, a 158k resistor is chosen.
Step 7: Adjust RFB resistor based on output voltage.
Build and power up the application with application components and measure the regulated output voltage. Adjust
RFB resistor based on the measured output voltage:
RFB(NEW) =
VOUT
VOUT(MEASURED)
Choose 2V of hysteresis, R1 = 806k
Determine the UVLO thresholds and calculate R2 resistor
value:
• RFB
VIN(UVLO+) =
1.228V • (R1+ R2)
+ 2.5µA • R1
R2
Example:
Set VIN UVLO rising threshold to 7.5V:
Example:
RFB =
Example:
5V
• 158k = 154k
5.14V
Step 8: Select RTC resistor based on output voltage
temperature variation.
R2 = 232k
VIN(UVLO+) = 7.5V
VIN(UNLO–) = 5.5V
Step 10: Ensure minimum load.
Measure output voltage in a controlled temperature environment like an oven to determine the output temperature
coefficient. Measure output voltage at a consistent load
current and input voltage, across the operating temperature range.
The theoretical minimum load can be approximately
estimated as:
Calculate the temperature coefficient of VF:
Remember to check the minimum load requirement in
real application. The minimum load occurs at the point
where the output voltage begins to climb up as the converter delivers more energy than what is consumed at
the output. The real minimum load for this application is
about 10mA. In this example, a 500Ω resistor is selected
as the minimum load.
