Pulse Electronics' Power Business Unit has released two new high isolation SMT flyback gate drive transformers. The PH9363NL and PH0416NL platforms provide high isolation, as well as power the gate drive circuitry in a compact and cost effective industrial design. The PH9363NL and PH0416NL are Pulse Electronics’ new high isolation flyback converter transformers with AEC-Q200 qualification for typical IGBT gate drivers in HEV/EV powertrain inverters. An isolated IGBT gate driver requires isolated power supply for safety isolation. Pulse Electronics' power BU flyback gate drive transformers deliver a distributed isolated supply to the gate drive circuits. The isolation boundary is well aligned with the gate driver resulting in a compact PCB layout using the PH9363NL and PH0416NL platforms.
