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 ...

Last month's Code Calculations article covered transformer calculation definitions and some specifics of delta transformer calculations. This month we turn our attention to the differences between ...

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 ...

A transformer transfers electrical energy from one system to another by induction. Except for grounding and bonding connections, there’s no physical connection between the two systems. For this reason ...

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, ...

In this article, we discuss the basic operation and design of a Fly-Buck™ converter. This discussion also includes a detailed explanation about the control and regulation of this converter. The ...
