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 ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. In last month's Power Design column, we examined the functional principles of continuous mode (or incomplete energy transfer mode) of a flyback ...

The low cost, simplicity of design and intrinsic efficiency of flyback transformers have made them a popular solution for power supply designs of below 100W to 150W. Other advantages of the flyback ...

The flyback design is a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) that’s been used for 70+ years and still going strong. This supply—also called a power converter—has two distinct operating phases, with power ...

The power supply design gives 12V output, works with many input voltages, and keeps parts separated for reliable use. MAXREFDES1247 hardware – top. The MAXREFDES1247, a reference design from Maxim ...

The design is a 48-V to 12-V power supply for automotive systems, with wide input range, transient protection, and high isolation for EV and HEV use. TIDA-01344 – Automotive 10-V/80-V Ultra-Wide Vin, ...

Flyback circuit primary voltage determines peak stress, magnetizing current, and energy transfer; governed by duty cycle, input range, turns ratio, leakage inductance, and snubber/clamp networks for ...

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

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 ...

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 ...
