Introduction

Designing an isolated power supply can be a daunting task. Optocouplers, secondary-side error amplifiers and frequency compensation can send you scurrying to your distributor catalog to find a module. Fortunately, there are new IC solutions that make isolated power much simpler and less expensive. Here is a gem of a circuit that takes the headaches out of your isolated power supply design task and at a small fraction of a module’s cost.

The design criteria

• Input Voltage: 100V DC ...
