A flyback converter has both 5 2.00 56 6.04 28 discontinuous input and output currents which makes it 12 2.00 130 6.04 66.5 similar to a nonisolated buck-boost. The duty cycle will 15 2.00 162 6.04 80.6 affect the input and output currents, making it hard to predict output power. In addition, the winding ratio can

Output Power
One design example would be a 5V output converter with A flyback converter has a complicated relationship be- a minimum input voltage of 20V and a maximum input tween the input and output current compared to a buck voltage of 30V. A three-to-one winding ratio fits this design or a boost. A boost has a relatively constant maximum example perfectly and outputs close to six watts at 30V input current regardless of input voltage and a buck has a but lowers to five watts at 20V. 8 8 8 MAXIMUM MAXIMUM N = 5:1 N = 2:1 MAXIMUM 7 OUTPUT 7 OUTPUT 7 POWER OUTPUT POWER POWER 6 6 6 N = 7:1 N = 10:1 N = 3:1 5 N = 7:1 N = 4:1 5 N = 3:1 5 4 4 4 N = 1:1 N = 3:1 N = 2:1 3 3 3 OUTPUT POWER (W) OUTPUT POWER (W) OUTPUT POWER (W) 2 2 2 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 0 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 INPUT VOLTAGE (V) INPUT VOLTAGE (V) INPUT VOLTAGE (V) 3573 F01 3573 F02 3573 F03
