Description
This reference design presents a compact auxiliary supply providing two output voltage rails of 5 V, galvanically-isolated from each other, with a combined maximum output power of up to 3 W (i.e. 0.3 A output current per rail). Different lower voltage rails like 3.3 V, 2.5 V or 1.2 V are easily obtained by cascading a low-dropout linear voltage regulator (LDO) to the required output rail. The design targets applications like isolated communication interfaces and data acquisition systems in industrial automation, as well as many systems using sensors, voltage-level-shifters, digital isolators or opto-couplers, amongst others.
