Guidelines for Using the IRIStran Calculation spreadsheet

1. Read the Application Note AN1024a to understand what is important in designing the transformer
2. Decide on a Power Supply specification and input required values in the Red Column
3. Select a ferrite core using the power level guidelines in AN1024a and input the required core information
4. Select a number of turns for the main output
5. Calculated specifications are shown in the Blue Column
6. Watch for warnings in the central column which advise if calculated value are outside of desired limits
7. Comments are included for all the input and output variables to guide you through the design process
8. Calculated Values in Bold typeface are the improtant values required for the transformer specification
