Isolated 2W 24Vdc-to-5Vdc Flyback DC-DC – Reference Design
https://www.electronics-lab.com/isolated-2w-24vdc-5vdc-flyback-dc-dc-reference-design/
The MAXREFDES111# reference design from Maxim Integrated is a compact 24V input flyback-converter module that features 5V at 400mA output. Transformer selection is often the most difficult step in isolated power design. Multiple transformers (Wurth Electronics 750315847, HanRun HR041087, and Sumida 06343-T588) have been qualified for this design, simplifying the process of transformer selection. The […]
