Flyback Power Supply Design: Parameter Calculation, Component Selection & Transformer Winding Guide
This article presents a complete design procedure for a 72W flyback switching power supply (24V/3A) with universal 85-265VAC input. It provides step-by-step calculations for rectifier bridge, input filter, transformer magnetizing inductance and turns, wire selection with skin effect, MOSFET and output diode ratings, output capacitor, and RCD snubber. Key trade-offs such as frequency vs. efficiency, flux density selection, and core AP value are explained. The article also details practical transformer winding, including air gap adjustment and leakage inductance measurement, enabling readers to replicate the design.
Open-Source Smart Electronic Load Based on CH32V307, Embedded Competition Project Open Source
An open-source smart electronic load based on the CH32V307VCT6 microcontroller is presented, developed as a national second-prize entry in the 2023 embedded design competition. It supports constant current, voltage, resistance, and power modes, with 100V/10A/200W ratings. Schematics, PCB files, source code, and reports are freely available for learning and reference.
EG1151 High-Power Synchronous Buck-Boost Power Module (Supports Type-C PD Fast Charging) Open Source
An open-source high-power adjustable buck-boost DC-DC module based on the EG1151 chip is introduced, using fully domestic components. It supports Type-C PD3.1 up to 48V, XT60, and DC5.5 inputs, up to 63V and 20A, with overcurrent and over-temperature protection. Measured peak efficiency is 96.8%, though sustained current is about 18A. Schematics, PCB files, and 3D-printed enclosure models are provided.
