This reference design from Texas Instruments provides isolated positive and negative voltage rails for Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) gate drivers from 24V DC input supply. It uses a flyback power supply topology to generate four pairs of 15-V and –5-V outputs suitable for powering six IGBT gate drivers of one watt each.

The integration of the 100-V rated primary side switch within the flyback controller LM5180-Q1 together with the elimination of an auxiliary transformer winding enables a compact solution

Features

  • Quasi-resonant boundary conduction mode along with frequency modulation provides peak efficiency of 90% at balanced full load.
  • Supplies output power up to 1.2W per IGBT driver.
  • Provides compact and cost-effective solution due to elimination of optocoupler and transformer auxiliary winding.
  • Provision to turn the power supply on and off through the EN pin.
  • Programmable soft start limits the inrush current drawn by the power supply.
