Electrical – Flyback transformer for hight ratio, low power, DC-DC step-up converter

For instance, i want to use the following transformer: http://nl.farnell.com/bi-technologies-tt-electronics/hm42-10001lftr/transformer-gate-drive-300uh/dp/2192063

You can't use the transformer you want to - it isn't rated for doing what you want.

Unfortunately i get stuck at the part where i have to choose the transformer (the bottom 3 choices from the "design" tab).

What's wrong with the design page that it produced: -

It tells you: -

1. The core (E16/8/5, Ferroxcube, 3C90, 570µm)
2. The gapping (0.57 mm)
3. How many turns for primary, auxiliary and secondary
4. How to wind them
5. The wire gauges

It even gives you options for using different ferrite cores - see radio buttons.

What were you expecting? You want something easier? Yes, well go to premier magnetics and choose a design for 5V and 1A (such as this one) and they do the job for you using a Power Integrations part: -

They'll sell you the transformer and provide all the info for the other magnetics. If you are still insistent on using the NXP tool then start learning about transformers so you can take the premier magnetics transformer and feed the data back into the tool.

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.
