This application note presents a step-by-step design procedure and guidelines for off-line flyback converters using Fairchild Power Switch (FPS). The design process was made more efficient with the ...

In PoE systems, performance of the flyback converter used to step down the 48-V supply in the powered device depends on careful transformer design. A growing number of electronic devices require both ...

Pulsiv, a Plymouth University spin-out that specialises in power electronics technology, has announced the development of a nomogram that will help design engineers to determine critical transformer ...

To save energy and reduce the size and weight of equipment, higher efficiency and power density are required in flyback converter-based LED drivers, chargers, and other power applications. The flyback ...

A common part used to create a high voltage is a CRT flyback transformer, having been a ubiquitous junk pile component. So many attempts to use them rely on brute force, with power transistors in ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. The “lowly” flyback switched-mode power supply (SMPS) is still a workhorse in the power supply business for requirements below 100 W, but the ...

Here, Rich Miron, Applications Engineer at Digi-Key Electronics explores the operation of switch mode power supplies and explores make Vs. buy decision process for power supplies. Miron also ...

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 ...

Sick of raiding old TVs and CRT monitors for flyback transformers to feed your high-voltage addiction? Never fear; if you’re careful, a 3D-printed flyback might be just the thing you’re looking for.
