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 ...

Flyback transformers are designed with all types of cores. Ferrite cores have several advantages such as ease of winding on a bobbin with integral terminal pins, better options for winding design ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
