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 ...

Everyone likes to play with high voltages, right?. Even though the danger of death goes up with every volt, it’s likely that a few readers will have at some time or other made fancy long sparks.

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 ...

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 ...

One of the most common sources of power is offline, also known as the AC mains. With the increase of products aimed at integrating typical household features, there is greater demand for low-power off ...

Isolated outputs are required for a broad range of DC/DC converter applications and not just the telecom- and datacom-mandated 48V isolation requirements. Isolation can be necessary for ...

The Forward and Flyback converters are two popular topologies widely used in isolated DC-DC power converters. These topologies are favored by designers for their simplicity, ability to handle multiple ...

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 HM210-05K060LFTR flyback transformer from TT Electronics is designed for use with Avago's ACPL-32JT/302J IGBT chipset. With its high level of isolation, the transformer is said to be optimised for ...
