This design introduces a tiny isolated auxiliary power supply used to supply automotive IGBT drive. The three isolated outputs support three gate controls, each output delivers +15 V and –5 V. An additional +10-V output is provided on the primary side. To simplify transformer windings, a virtual ground by ZENER diodes is implemented on the secondary side and well suited for symmetrical loading.
The flyback converter itself supports input voltage cranking as low as 5 Vmin and load
dump up to
42 Vmax.
