A Control Integrated Circuit For A Hysteretic Flyback Power Converter, Armani Alvarez

UNLV Theses, Dissertations, Professional Papers, and Capstones

This Thesis reports the design, simulation, and layout of a switching power supply controller chip for a fly-back switching power supply. The controller chip was designed using ON’s Semiconductor C5 process. The resulting switching power supply using the controller chip consists of using various off-chip components such as a power MOSFET, transformer, and capacitors. The main components used in the integrated circuit include a bandgap reference voltage circuit which outputs a reference voltage of 1.25V, a ring oscillator having a nominal frequency of 5MHz, a high-gain comparator, and a buffer that can drive a 5pF capacitor. Under normal simulation conditions …
