Figure 4. Transformer construction
3.4 Layout
The layout of the PCB is based on a single-sided FR4, with 35 µm thickness. The size of the
PCB is 32 x 90 mm. The distance between the primary and secondary side is higher than
8 mm, respecting the safety requirements for all standard applications. The layout of the
PCB is provided in Figure 5.
The layout was designed with respect to the following rules to achieve stable operation,
good efficiency and reduce EMI noise.
The power HF tracks are wide and short:
Transformer to IC1
Transformer to C13
IC1 to C13
Transformer to C8
C8 to D3
Transformer to D3
Peak clamp loop
The power and signal GND of VIPER26LD are separated and connected only in one
point close to the source pins
The EMI filter has been placed far from the transformer to avoid possible crosstalk of
EMI noise
