Würth Flex Transformer
Application note and spreadsheet selection tool
When confronted with the need to design a power converter, aspects of designing a transformer can be daunting as the engineer seeks to understand all the limiting aspects of winding a reliable transformer. By adopting the pre-designed, but configurable off-the-shelf transformers such as Würth’s WE-Flex range the use of a custom transformer may be avoided in many low power DC/DC power supply applications. The WE-Flex transformers come in two configurations: with gapped cores or ungapped cores.
This application note will guide the designer through the use of an off-the-shelf, configurable transformer for flyback converters using gapped cores. By careful adherence to the guidance provided here, it will be possible for design engineers to quickly and confidently design a fully functioning power converter without resorting to custom magnetic design. By following this process, you will be able select the smallest part that meets your application requirements without overheating.
