OK, thanks for the correction. I got to "primary is a push-pull" and stopped reading there :palm: If the primary is 10T and the secondaries are 8T each than it's 330/2·0.8=130V indeed. So the diodes are killed by transients or their dubious provenance :P |

Took the MOSFETs out and they're both blown. Cracked one open to check the die size and it's 5.5x5.5 = 30.25mm2, 0.5A/mm2. |

So what actually is the point of having ±65V open circuit secondary voltage for 22V output? Do you expect 33% efficiency under actual load? :-// I don't know what can be realistically expected from such converter, but 33% seems rather extreme. SMPS work better if transformer ratio is close to ideal and duty cycle close to 50%. Isn't it be better to cut the secondary in half and parallel the two parts for 32V output at lower impedance, still giving margin for 66% efficiency? PWM surely is magic, but you pay for it right here. |
