Using Push-Pull Transformers to Isolate Power in 12V Applications
April 19, 2021
Learn about the benefits of push-pull transformers and how they can also be used to supply the bias voltage for an isolated insulated gate bipolar transistor.
Because of their high efficiency and small footprint, push-pull DC-DC converters are becoming popular for galvanic isolation in electric vehicles, BMS and on-board chargers. These converters require a transformer to transfer power from primary to secondary in each switching cycle. Learn about a successful solution using Bourns HCTSM8 transformers and TI SN6501 drivers to isolate a 12 V bus rail in a communications system or power supply for switching IGBTs.
