Bourns has introduced a new AEC-Q200 compliant, automotive grade, low profile, high creepage isolation transformer. The HVMA03F4A-LP8S series flyback transformer is designed to support high power density for greater efficiency in a compact form factor. These capabilities are required in applications including gate drive and high voltage battery management systems (BMS).
The series operates from a typical 12 V supply (with an extended input voltage range of 10 to 24 V) and features a new coil mechanical design that helps to increase system performance and safety. These features make the series ideal for use with SiC, IGBT and GaN switching elements in automotive, industrial and energy storage.
The series is constructed with a center-tapped output to generate a ±5 V supply to aid in biasing gate drive turn on and off circuitry. The products are AEC-Q200 compliant and use a basic insulation layer that complies with the IEC 60664-1 standard with a working voltage up to 800 VDC.
