This is a 24-A DC/DC space-grade power supply hardware reference design.
With the advancement of FPGA and ASIC technology, the core voltage requirements are getting lower and lower, but the current requirements are getting larger and larger. The latest space-grade FPGAs and ASICs require low voltage and high current to meet their core power consumption.
The MAX17690 implements an innovative algorithm to accurately determine the output voltage by sensing the reflected voltage across the primary winding during the flyback time interval. By sampling and regulating this reflected voltage when the secondary current is close to zero, the effects of secondary-side DC losses in the transformer winding, the PCB tracks, and the rectifying diode on output voltage regulation can be minimized.
This Freedom board is equipped with 4 power outputs, up to 36 V, 12A per channel. Can be controlled and configured via a variety of hardware and software tools.
