Bourns has announced a new automotive grade, AEC-Q200 compliant flyback transformer. Model HVMA03F40C-ST10S is designed to support high power density and greater efficiency in a compact form factor.
The transformer’s features suit electric vehicles, transistor gate drives and high voltage battery management systems, plus isolated power across separate voltage systems in hybrid vehicles. It can support high frequency silicon carbide, IGBT and gallium nitride switching elements in wide bandgap designs.
This transformer meets IEC standards for isolation and creepage/clearance distance requirements with a mechanical and electrical design that helps increase system performance and safety at the same time. Offered in a 10 mm creepage surface mount package, it gives designers up to 900 V working voltage with the capability to support new designs utilizing the existing platform or to help them streamline the design of new platforms. In addition, this 3 W flyback transformer features switching frequencies from 100 to 400 kHz and an operating temperature range of -40 to 155 °C.
