Flyback regulator delivers up to 15W

  Linear Technology announces the LT8315, a high voltage monolithic flyback regulator that simplifies the design of an isolated DC/DC converter. By sampling the reflected isolated output voltage across the third winding on the power transformer, the part requires no opto-isolator or LT1431 for regulation.

The LT8315 operates over an 18V to 560V input voltage range, has a 0.30A/630V integrated power switch and delivers up to 15 W of output power, ideal for electric vehicles and battery stacks, as well as off line, automotive, industrial and medical applications.

Several off-the-shelf transformers identified in the data sheet can be used for numerous applications. The LT8315 operates in quasi-resonant boundary mode, which is a variable frequency current mode control switching scheme, resulting in better than ±1% load and line regulation.

Boundary mode enables the use of a smaller transformer compared to equivalent continuous conduction mode designs. The high level of integration and the use of low ripple Burst Mode operation result in a simple to use, low component count and high efficiency application solution for isolated power delivery.

Additional features include output short-circuit protection, 70µA no load operating quiescent current, accurate enable and undervoltage lockout with hysteresis, along with output diode temperature compensation.

The LT8315 is available in a TSSOP-20 package with four pins removed for high voltage spacing. Extended and industrial versions operate over a junction temperature range of -40°C to 125°C. A high temperature automotive grade operates from -40°C to 150°C. Pricing starts at $4.15 each in 1000-piece quantities.
