One of the most dangerous locations in a power distribution system with regard to incident energy is that first panelboard on the secondary of a transformer. With some thought in your design — even if ...

When designing an offline flyback power supply, integrating the IC with the other components can be overwhelming. Integrating the transformer properly is more than finding the turns-ratio to match ...

A synchronous rectified forward converter optimized for performance and cost uses coupled inductors for output filtering and transformer-based gate drive. Digital signal processing ICs continue to ...

Magnetic components, particularly transformers operating at high frequencies and voltages, are intrinsically influenced by parasitic capacitance. This unintended capacitance between conductive ...

Using a flyback topology to generate a high voltage is a common approach. The voltage can charge a capacitor for a high-energy pulse. Such an approach is used in defibrillator capacitors, photoflash ...

Designing flyback transformers for switch-mode power supplies involves many calculations. A spreadsheet can make short work of this otherwise-tedious task. When you develop flyback power supplies, ...
