Dear Monolithic Power Systems Support Team,
I hope you are doing well.
We are currently developing a compact, low-noise PoE-powered measurement device using the MP8017GL controller in Active-Clamp Primary-Side Regulation (PSR) mode. We have referred to the EVL8017-L-00A evaluation board design, which specifies the transformer TWPEP090909B300T. However, we understand that this part is likely an evaluation board-specific transformer and may not be suitable or readily available for production use.
We would greatly appreciate your guidance in selecting a production-ready flyback transformer that meets our design requirements:
Design Parameters:
-
Controller: MP8017GL
-
Operating Mode: Active-Clamp PSR
-
Input Voltage Range: 37V to 57V (Standard PoE)
-
Output Voltage: 12V
-
Maximum Output Power: 12 W
-
Target Switching Frequency: ~650 kHz
-
Key Constraints: Small physical size and low EMI are critical — as this is a precision measurement product with stringent form factor and EMI constraints
We would like to ensure that the recommended transformer:
-
Matches or closely aligns with the inductance, turns ratio, and frequency characteristics used on the EVL8017-L evaluation board
-
Is available for production (or has an available manufacturer part number)
-
Has appropriate isolation ratings for PoE
-
Is suitable for use with the MP8017GL in Active-Clamp PSR configurations
If there are any specific transformer models, manufacturer part numbers, or design guidelines you recommend (including primary/secondary inductance target, turns ratio, and physical guidelines), we would be grateful to receive them.
