Due to its simplicity and low cost, the flyback converter is the preferred choice for low-to-medium isolated DC-DC power-conversion applications. However, the use of an optocoupler or an auxiliary winding on the flyback transformer for voltage feedback across the isolation barrier increases the number of components and design complexity. The MAX17690 eliminates the need for an optocoupler or auxiliary transformer winding and achieves ±5% output voltage regulation over line, load, and temperature variations.

TEA1892TS GreenChip SR Controller add on board for Flyback
KITFS85FRDMEVM is a development board for the 12V automotive market. It is designed to provide the best performance and reference layout.
The MAXREFDES1227 is a miniature 12V output isolated power supply that can deliver up to 2A load current. The design employs the MAX17596 peak-current-mode controller in discontinuous-conduction mode (DCM) flyback topology running at 125kHz. The input voltage range of MAX17596 is 4.5V to 36V; however, an extra bias winding from the transformer is used to power the controller. This allows an input operating voltage of up to 60V for this design.

When it is necessary to plug in a board into a system that is currently powered, it is critical to control the inrush current to prevent damage/system fault conditions. This application provides a simple circuit to achieve this function as well as an easy method for resetting the system and monitoring against temperature issues.
This application note presents a reference design for a nonisolated LED driver intended to operate directly from a 400V DC input.

The MAX17504 high-efficiency, high-voltage, synchronously rectified step-down converter with dual integrated MOSFETs operates over a 4.5V to 60V input. The converter can deliver up to 3.5A and generates output voltage from 0.9V to 90% VIN. Built -in compensation across the output voltage range eliminates the need for external components. The feedback (FB) regulation is accurate to within ±1.1% over -40°C to +125°C. The devices are available in a compact (5mm x 5mm ) TQFN lead (Pb)- free package with an exposed pad. Simulation models are available. The MAX17504 features a peak-current-mode control architecture with a MODE feature that can be used to operate the device in pulse-width modulation (PWM) , pulse-frequency modulation (PFM), or discontinuous mode (DCM) control schemes.
