1 STEVAL-ISA011V1 Board Design

In order to improve regulation, the feedback loop is designed to have enough bandwidth so the converter can react on time to load changes. As is shown in the
Load Regulation Tests on page 20
, the board is able to handle high load step changes with
very low variations in the output voltage. The flyback converter is designed to work in Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) in all
operating conditions (i.e. Minimum Input Voltage, Maximum Load), because it provides better dynamic performance.

1.1 Primary Side

electrolytic capacitor is usually around 20%.

1.1.2 Step 2, Transformer Selection

The next step is selecting a transformer with a Primary Inductance (LP) that allows the system to work at the boundary between Continuous Conduction Mode (CC M) and Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM). The worst case is minimum input voltage and full load. This value is expressed as:

1.2.3 C11 Output Capacitor Selection

)
rate of the capacitor itself. The output voltage ripple is mainly due to the Equivalent Series Resistor (ESR), so we have to select a capacitor with an ESR lower than the maximum allowed ESR value:

1.3 Completed Transformer Design

All of the calculations for the transformer design are complete. They include:
Primar y Inducta nce,
Turns Ratio, and
Winding Current Values (RMS, Average, and Peak).
Notes:
1. In order to prevent transformer saturation during the start-up phase, the current limit of the VIPer12A (I
= 480mA, see datasheet for details) must be considered as the peak
LIM
current.
2. For thermal limits (power dissipated in the magnetic core), the peak current (calculated in
Equation 6: on page 7
) must be used.
3. The RMS value of the current flowing through the windings is used first fo r calculating the power dissipated in the windings, then fo r winding size selection.
The transformer (reference number SRW16ES_E44H013) was designed and manufactured by TDK using aforementioned the data.

The tests performed with the STEVAL-ISA011V1 demo board are used to evaluate the converter behavior in terms of:
efficiency,
safe operating area of the devices,
line regulation, and
load regu lation.

2.1 Start-up Tests

The diagnostic board will handle a wide range of AC input voltage (88VAC to 265VAC), and its maximum output power is 4.1W with one output of 4.5V. Its maximum output current is 900mA (see
For flyback conv erters, the most critical conditions for the main switch in terms of Maximum Drain Current and of Maximum Drain Voltage (when no abnorm al event occurs), are those that exist during the start-up phase. The maximum values for drain voltage and current are measured in both full load and no load conditions (the two extreme points in terms of load), and for minimum, maximum, and nominal input voltages (see

AC
During these tests, load changes from a minimum of 180mA to a maximum of 900mA are applied to the circuit as squarewaves, with 3ms periods and a duty cycle of 50%.
The output voltage (Ch3) has a variation of some tenths of a mV (about 40mV), with
some mV overshoots. These results indicate very good dynamic behavior on the part of the system.
The VIPer12A feedback pin voltage (Ch1) in
input voltage is 265V
, the load is 180mV (its minimum value) while the output and
AC
feedback pin voltages show some oscillation. This oscill ation is not relat ed to a low phase margin of the Loop Gain, but is related to the VIPer12A Burst mode operation.
Note: Even with the oscillation, the output voltages are still regulated well.
