I think the formula is:

Np/Ns = SQRT(Zp/Zs)

Where:
Np=number of turns on primary
Ns=number of turns on secondary
Zp=impedance of primary
Zs=impedance of secondary

I think that you can just substitute Z with measured inductance of the
windings and make either Np or Ns as unity(1) and Ns or Np will give you the
turns ratio you are looking for.

    Hi Stampers,

    I have been working on a embedded ethernet project for use with a BS2. Gary
    @ www.embeddedethernet.com did a very nice project but is no longer making
    any kits so I'v been trying to put together a board of my own. I could'nt
    get my hands on the Crystal CS8900A-CQ so I'm using the Crystal CS8900A-CQ3
    (3.3v ver.) I'v got all the parts I need except the ethernet isolation
    transformer. Does anyone know where i can get one? It needs to be a 1:2.5 on
    TX and 1:1 on RX I can't locate one anywhere, heck I can't even find one to
    use with the 5v chip (1:1.414 TX 1:1 RX) I would be grateful for any help,
    also I have a bunch of lan cards kicking around how can i test the
    transformer on them to see what the ratio it is?

    David,

    Thanks for that formula it will be a big help to me :-)

    Have you tried TRW they used to be the people for telephone tmrs etc.
    You could probably use the under a $ ones from Mouser used in the audio field.
    Big selection too..

    Try www.pulseeng.com. They have a selection guide to help choose the correct
    transformer for your chip. They are also good with samples.
