Access Our Power Supply Design Guides
Understand the essentials of designing high-performance power supplies with our free design guides and ready-to-use reference designs.
Designing reliable power supplies requires more than choosing a topology; it requires an understanding of isolation, efficiency, EMI, and real-world tradeoffs. This resource bundle offers practical guidance to help you understand how flyback converters operate, select topologies for low-power applications, and implement isolated or non-isolated approaches effectively, enabling you to make informed decisions early and avoid common design pitfalls.
What's Inside the Design Guides?
Design Guide 1: DC-DC Non-Isolated Flyback
- Electrical Design Essentials: Explore core component choices and design calculations for accurate and efficient designs.
- Transient Simulation Best Practices: Learn which simulation settings matter most and apply proven techniques to ensure accurate and reliable simulation results.
- Loop Stability and AC Analysis: Interpret Bode plots to achieve fast response and stable operation.
- PCB Layout Techniques: Apply layout strategies that reduce EMI, voltage spikes, and improve overall efficiency.
Design Guide 2: Building a Quiet AC-DC Isolated in Allegro X
- Isolation Challenges: Learn how to model and manage primary and secondary grounds, ensuring proper isolation and accurate simulation with PSpice.
- Constraint-Driven Layout: Define and enforce creepage and clearance rules using the Constraint Manager in Allegro X to support safety compliance and efficient PCB design.
- Simulation and Stress Analysis: Analyze startup and steady-state behavior, focusing on RCD clamps to manage leakage inductance spikes and protect components.
- Electromagnetic Integrity: Leverage Sigrity X to identify return path and IR Drop issues that impact performance.
