Introduction
SECO−HVDCDC1362−15W15V−GEVB is highly efficient and
primary−side regulated (PSR) auxiliary power supply targeting HEV
and EV automotive power trains. The design provides a stable 15 V
output and 15 W over a wide input DC voltage range from 250 V to
900 V, and is therefore suitable for 400 V and 800 V battery systems.
The board employs the NCV1362 quasi−resonant peak current PSR
flyback controller, the 3−lead cost−optimized NVHL160N120SC1
160 mW 1200 V silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET, and the
FFSD0665B−F085 SiC diode.
Thanks to the high blocking voltage capabilities and ultra−low gate
charge (34 nC) value of the SiC FET, the switching losses are
significantly reduced, and the board exhibits a superior efficiency for
the application up to 86% in low line input conditions. The notable
driving capabilities of the NCV1362 controller allows for direct
operation of the SiC FET at 12V without a pre−driver, simplifying the
layout and cutting down the component count.
The flyback transformer provides 4 kV isolation and is optimized to
minimize the losses on the RCD snubber. Consequently the system
effectively dampens the drain voltage overshoot at high line, and
provides 100 V margin for the SiC FET. The board is fully realized
with automotive qualified semiconductors and passive devices.
Industrial grade replacements are also available.
