This isolated power supply features the SN6507 chip, a push-pull isolation transformer driver, which provides a reliable and efficient power conversion solution. The power supply comprises a transformer, rectifier circuit, and isolation transformer T1, which separates the input and isolated output, ensuring electrical isolation and preventing high voltages and noise from interfering with or damaging sensitive circuitry.

The SN6507 chip generates complementary output signals (SW1 and SW2), which are ground-referenced, N-channel power switches that drive the primary side of the center-tapped transformer. The secondary side of the transformer has its center tap referenced to an isolated ground plane, and the complementary outputs are rectified through a four-diode bridge. The break-before-make feature of the two driver outputs from the SN6507 ensures that only one of the primary-side transformer windings is driven at a time, preventing simultaneous conduction and minimizing electromagnetic interference (EMI).
After rectification, the DC voltage is smoothed and routed to an unregulated dual output, capable of powering external loads up to 500 mA. This isolated power supply is designed to provide a stable and reliable power source for sensitive electronic circuits, ensuring optimal performance and minimizing the risk of electrical noise and interference damage. Ferrite beads L1 and L2 are provided to reduce emissions when power supply outputs are connected to long cables or have high ringing. Optional secondary-side snubber circuit built using R8, R9, C9, C10 helps minimize electromagnetic emissions. These components are optional so they may be replaced with other components or removed.
An RC snubber circuit of 100 Ω, 62pF is populated on R12, C15, and R13, C16 by default to help minimize electromagnetic emissions. These components are optional so that they may be replaced with other components or removed from the PCB and excluded from designs using the SN6507 device.
