Are there models of ADP1074 and ADP1071-2 for LTSPICE available?

Are these models available?  If not what would be the closest part that I can use?  Also do you have any suggested reading on synchronous flyback vs synchronous forward (with active clamp) topologies?  I am trying to decide which most appropriate for this design.  It would be good to find some info which helps you choose appropriate parts for the power stage (transformer, mosfets ect).

Thanks,

  • Hi,

    The main difference between the two designs are the transformer and FETs (primary and secondary). If you use the same power stage you should get the same efficiencies.

    Regarding the snubbers, the snubber in the UG from the previous post uses and RCD snubber as opposed to only an RC snubber on this link http://www.analog.com/media/en/technical-documentation/eval-board-schematic/DC2539A-2-A-SCH.PDF The snubber for the secondary FET is also less aggressive in my opinion but that is a designers choice. If all things remain equal you should definitely get the same efficiencies.

    One other thing is that the switching frequency is 300k vs 250k in the two designs so that also explains as to why the efficiency is slightly lower. 

    Your decision should be on how many external components are required in the total BOM.

    Lt Comm Data.
