Würth Elektronik eiSos, a manufacturing company of electronic components based in Europe, has just expanded its WE-GDT series by adding a transformer with an EP7 design. The new WE-GDT can withstand voltages up to 2500 V.
This transformer was developed because in order to “enable secondary-sided MOSFETs to be activated, synchronously aligned flyback converters must be fitted with galvanically insulated gate-drive transformers.”
“The Vµs product in this series is 70 percent higher than that in the already available WE-GDT series, thus enabling secondary-sided MOSFETs to be activated swiftly. The EP7 core acts as a shield against external magnetic fields and at the same time also reduces its own radiated magnetic field, thus diminishing the electromagnetic emission of the end application.”
