From the project
Design of a 5V 2A isolated AC–DC flyback power adapter featuring KiCad PCB design, LTSpice simulation, and engineering calculations.
This project presents the design and development of an isolated AC-DC power adapter completed as part of an Electrical and Electronics Engineering design course. The project covers the complete hardware design process, from circuit simulation and schematic capture to PCB layout, manufacturing outputs, and enclosure design.
The objective was to design a reliable isolated power supply while following good engineering design practices and producing manufacturing-ready documentation.
