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.

The low-power (milliwatt) flyback transformer used in a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) needs to be designed with a gap in the magnetic path for maximum power delivery over temperature. Transformers ...

The B82802 series SMD flyback transformers rely on low-profile, surface-mount EFD15, EFD20, and EFD25 core sizes that enable insertion heights of 8.65 mm to 14.8 mm depending on the transformer type.

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 ...

With the ever-growing demand of electronic devices to do more processing in a smaller package, the top priority on any power supply these days is power density. The most popular isolated power supply ...

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 ...
