Galvanically isolated power supplies are used in numerous applications for different reasons. In some circuits, galvanic isolation is necessary due to safety considerations. In other circuits, ...

A new approach to designing a synchronous rectifier will help engineers unlock efficiency gains that extend beyond ...

These devices are intended to simplify designing and building compact, efficient USB-PD chargers, fast battery chargers, and auxiliary power supplies and can handle reduced loads with a proprietary ...

Flyback converters are widely used in isolated DC/DC applications because of their relative simplicity and low cost compared to alternative isolated topologies. Even so, designing a traditional ...

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 some circuits, galvanic isolation is necessary due to safety considerations. In other circuits, functional isolation is used to block any interference on signals. A galvanically isolated power ...

As [Sam Ben-Yaakov] points out in a recent video, you don’t often see flyback converters these days. That’s because there are smarter ways to get the same effect, which is to convert between two ...

Make sure you take a look at a new feature on the site, regarding switching-converter topologies for power converters – Flyback transformer enables high power-factor and converter efficiency Several ...

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 ...

Rohm’s new reference design (REF67004) is capable of controlling two commonly used power converter types in consumer and industrial power supply applications by using a single MCU: critical conduction ...

When first starting an electronics project, it’s not uncommon to dive right in to getting the core parts of the project working. Breadboarding the project usually involves working with a benchtop ...
