Nominal output impedance cancellation is obtained by
equating this expression with R
Solving for R

Transformer Design
Transformer design/specifi cation is the most critical part
of a successful application of the LTC4278. The following
sections provide basic information about designing the
transformer and potential tradeoffs. If you need help, the
LTC Applications group is available to assist in the choice
and/or design of the transformer.
Turns Ratios
The design of the transformer starts with determining
duty cycle (DC). DC impacts the current and voltage stress
on the power switches, input and output capacitor RMS
currents and transformer utilization (size vs power). The
ideal turns ratio is:
Avoid extreme duty cycles, as they generally increase cur-
rent stresses. A reasonable target for duty cycle is 50%
at nominal input voltage.
For instance, if we wanted a 48V to 5V converter at 50%
DC then:
In general, better performance is obtained with a lower
turns ratio. A DC of 45.5% yields a 1:8 ratio.
