MAXREFDES8#: 12V @ 165mA Isolated, 3.3V in

Summary

The Riverside design (MAXREFDES8#) uses an H-bridge transformer driver (MAX256) and a low dropout (LDO) linear regulator (MAX1659) to create a 12V (15V) output isolated power supply from a 3.3V voltage input. This general-purpose power solution can be used in many different types of isolated power applications, but is mainly targeted for industrial sensors, industrial automation, process control, and medical applications.
