Standard transformer for higher-voltage dual output flyback converter

Question

Is it possible to modify this flyback converter to get the output voltage somewhere up in the range of +/- 26-60v (preferably 30v or more) without having to make my own transformer? I would also like to use an input range of 6.5-9v. I saw another schematic that did +/- 15v output, but I can't find any standard examples going above that. This will only be driving a 50mA load max. I used the TI WEBENCH software to generate designs, but every thing I tried requires me to build custom inductors.

EDIT: I think I'm getting somewhere with the WEBENCH tool. I told it to generate a solution for a single 30v output and it told me to use this transformer:

Here is the schematic:

Then I went back and generated the dual output version that required a custom transformer for some weird reason:

Both transformer configurations are 1:3 so I think all I have to do is add D2 and Cout2 to the single output configuration and I should be good to go, right? The only other issue I can see is the different inductor value they suggested for the dual output version (65uH instead of 160uH). Is that significant or can I just use the 160uH?

Answer 1

An LM2586-12 is a 12V fly-back regulator chip - note pin 3 - it "sniffs" the dc output of the diode/capacitor and when it equals 12 volts the chip starts regulating the pulse width to maintain the output at 12 volts. If the 12V output rises a little high, the chip momentarily stops pushing energy thru the transformer.

Fly back designs are not like conventional transformers - in a fly-back design the circuit pumps energy into the transformer primary in one half cycle and that energy gets released by the secondary on the 2nd half cycle. The energy released produces a voltage that is load dependent and only in extreme cases of duty cycle requirements is the turns ratio altered to get a bigger/smaller output voltage. Typically, a 1:1 turns ratio produces input-output voltages that are the same value for a 50:50 duty cycle but this is load dependent too.

Try looking for an adjustable version of the LM2586 or maybe, as an experiment try potting down the feedback with a potential divider to "con" the chip that it is seeing 12 volts BUT before doing so, read the data sheet to see if they allow this.
