N is the transformer turns ratio, D is the duty cycle, and
I
the maximum load currents for multiple-output flyback regu-

When no heat sink is used, the junction temperature rise is:
Adding the junction temperature rise to the maximum ambient
temperature gives the actual operating junction temperature:
If the operating junction temperature exceeds the maximum
junction temperatue in item 3 above, then a heat sink is re-

quired. When using a heat sink, the junction temperature rise
can be determined by the following:
Again, the operating junction temperature will be:
As before, if the maximum junction temperature is exceeded,
a larger heat sink is required (one that has a lower thermal
resistance).
Included in the Switchers Made Simple design software is a
more precise (non-linear) thermal model that can be used to
determine junction temperature with different input-output pa-
rameters or different component values. It can also calculate
the heat sink thermal resistance required to maintain the reg-
ulator junction temperature below the maximum operating
temperature.
To further simplify the flyback regulator design procedure,
National Semiconductor is making available computer design
software. Switchers Made Simple software is available on
a (3½ ) diskette for IBM compatable computers from a Na-
tional Semiconductor sales office in your area or the National
