Expert talk: how to design a Flyback Converter?

The Flyback topology is the isolated version (transformer) of the buck-boost converter covering output
voltage ranges which are both higher and lower than the input voltage. It is very popular for offline adapters
up to 150 Watts. Due to the reflected output voltage the MOSFET switch has a higher voltage class rating.

Overview
Output voltage (V_out): can be higher or lower than the input voltage (non-inverting or inverting depending on transformer)
Power rating P_out: up to 150 W
Isolation: yes

Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM)
V_out= ((N2/N1) * D * V_in) / (1 - D); Duty cycle D= T_on/T with conducting pulse width T_on, switching period T
N2/N1 is the transformer ratio with N1 windings on the primary and N2 windings on the secondary side

Component Ratings
MOSFET voltage class V_DS= 1.5 * V_in
MOSFET Current I_D= (2 * P_out)/V_in(min)
Diode voltage class V_R= 5 * V_out

Other Remarks
the Buck-Boost converter is the non-isolated version of the Flyback converter

Example Converter
set your CCM converter spec in the Interpreter window on the left, click on Run to calculate the components and simulate it!
V_in= 220 V
V_out= 24 V (lower than V_in)
I_out= 2 A

Important Note (Disclaimer)
This is an idealized circuit for learning and experimental use. Test carefully when using calculated values for real hardware.
