When developing TOPSwitch flyback power supplies, transformer design is usually the biggest stumbling block. Flyback transformers are not designed or used like normal transformers. Energy is stored in ...

Linear Technology Corporation announces the LT3512, a high voltage isolated monolithic flyback regulator that significantly simplifies the design of an isolated DC/DC converter. No optocoupler, third ...

Wurth Electronics Midcom Inc. introduces a series of transformers specifically designed to work with Linear Technology's LT3799, LT3799-1 and LT3798 Isolated No Opto-Coupler Flyback Controllers with ...

The competition invites design engineers and enthusiasts to explore the world of flyback transformers, integral components used in switched-mode power supplies, converters, inverters, and more.

Figure 1 shows the architecture of a conventional isolated flyback converter. These converters can be found frequently in power classes of up to about 60W. A supply voltage is converted to an output ...

Numerous applications can’t operate in low-voltage ranges due to the physical reality of their situation. For these installations, a converter such as the Analog Devices LT8316 600 V IN isolated ...

We’ve seen a number of people create plasma speakers over the years here at Hackaday, so at first blush, the latest Plasma Channel video from [Jay Bowles] might seem like more of the same. Even his ...

The choice between a flyback or single-ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC) topology often ends with the designer choosing the most familiar one, but that’s not always the right option, say John ...

Let’s be honest. Playing with high voltage is awesome. Dangerous, but awesome — well, as long as you handle it properly. Flyback transformers are a great way to make a nice big electrical arc, but ...

Silanna Semiconductor has launched an Active Clamp Flyback (ACF)-based reference design that will help to simplify and speed the development of 65W 1C fast charger applications. Built around the ...
