BEE pisicn Fearure Design high- performance pulse transformers in easy stages Vincent J SpaTaro, GEC MARCONI ELECTRONIC Systems CORP Both analog and digital designers use pulse trans- formers to perform amu tude of functions. This art tle enables you to quickly and easily design’ pulse transformers for various applications. A step-by-step design procedure walks you through all the basic stages, Spice modeling shows you how to verify your design In general a pulse transformer tanstes a puise of current or voltage from the primary, or generating, side ofthe it cuit tothe secondary, ot load, side ofthe circu The pulse 1s usually ectangula, and maintaining the fidelity Of Rs shape is important. As engineers work with increasingly higher frequencies, they mus ake greater care when design. ing pulse transformers. Typical applications of pulse trans. formers include votage- and cartent- level transformation, de isolation, matching impedances, polity ver Sion, and providing gatecrve-10 FET or basedevesto-ipolr transistors. Taking the mystery out of pulse- transformer design means ist under. standing the fundamentals, Your requirements probably mandate a transformer with fat ie and fll times along vith a minimum of overshoot and ringing. Luckily, you can realize high-performance designs with tin mal effort by applying some simple design rues” Simple approximations Quiekly produce a workable design.
