Precautions for use

1. This site provides the BOM for evaluation boards. Small parts can also be selected for resistor, capacitor, and transformer
2. When miniaturizing a resistor, consider decrease in rated power and withstand voltage.
3. When miniaturizing a ceramic capacitor, consider decrease in withstand voltage. In addition, the capacity may be decreased by DC bias characteristics, and the desired characteristics may not be obtained.
4. If ceramic capacitor models differ even when they have the same capacity and withstand voltage, the capacity may be decreased by DC bias characteristics depending on the model, and desired characteristics may not be obtained. Be sure to check the DC bias characteristics.
5. When miniaturizing a transformer, consider increase in direct current resistance and decrease in rated current. An increase in DC resistance can cause a deterioration of power conversion efficiency. A decrease in rated current can saturate the transformer when outputting a large current, which may deteriorate efficiency or make it impossible to obtain the desired output current.
6. This circuit constant is the value for our evaluation board. It may be necessary to adjust the constant for the actual board. Carry out suitable evaluations.
