LM5020 Evaluation Board
Introduction
The LM5020 evaluation board is designed to provide the
design engineer with a fully functional non-isolated flyback
power converter to evaluate the LM5020 controller.
The performance of the evaluation board is as follows:
• Input range: 30V to 75V (100V peak)
• Output voltage: 3.3V
• Output current: 0.2 to 4.5A
• Measured efficiency: 85% at 1.5A, 83% at 4.5A
• Board size: 1.25 x 2.5 x 0.5 inches
• Load Regulation: 1.5%
• Line Regulation: 0.1%
• Line UVLO, Current Limit
The printed circuit board consists of 2 layers of 2 ounce
copper on FR4 material with a total thickness of 0.050
inches. Soldermask has been omitted from some areas to
facilitate cooling. The unit is designed for continuous opera-
tion at rated load at
Theory of Operation
The flyback converter is an inductive based converter in
which inductive energy is stored by applying a voltage
across an inductor in a similar manner to that of a boost
converter. Here the similarity ends. A second coupled wind-
ing of the inductor transfers the energy to a secondary side
<
40˚C with normal convection cooling.

rectifier after the voltage has been removed from the first
winding. This allows the converter input and output grounds
to be configured either isolated or non-isolated. There is also
a voltage/current ratio change possible by altering the wind-
ing ratio between the first winding and the second winding. A
semi-regulated auxiliary winding can also be provided.
The flyback transformer is actually a coupled inductor with
multiple windings wound on a single core. For simplification,
we will refer to the first, driven winding, as the primary and
the main output winding as the secondary winding of the
flyback transformer.
The transformer’s primary inductance is typically made as
large as is practical. However, the airgap necessary to store
the cycle energy lowers the obtainable inductance. The
higher the primary inductance, the less input ripple current
will be generated and the less input filtering will be required.
As shown, the LM5020 directly drives a mosfet switch to
apply voltage across the primary. When the switch turns off,
the secondary applies a forward current to the output rectifier
and charges the output capacitor. In applications where the
input voltage is considerably higher than the output voltage,
the turns ratio between primary and secondary will reflect the
input/output voltage ratio and the duty cycle.
The LM5020 is a full-featured controller providing an internal
start-up regulator, soft start, over-current and under-voltage
lockout.
