Hi,
We have made some offline Flybacks using the FSCQ1565 controller, for a group of students, who we want to teach about leakage inductance. The flyback transformer is very large and wont saturate even at the FSCQ1565 peak current level.
Anyway, we deliberately did them without Primary clamps so that we could demonstrate to the students that they will blow up. However, the FSCQ1565 has 800V leakage spikes on its drain and yet still runs fine !!! (its only rated to 650V). There are 5 members of the FSCQXX65 family, with a range of peak current limit levels.
Which one of the family will be most resilient to such drain overvoltages?
Is it the FSCQ1565?, because it has the greatest avalanche energy capability?, as per page 6 of the FSCQXX65 datasheet..
