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 ...

Rompower's Ideal Flyback topology overcomes the fundamental limitations of conventional flyback converters while preserving the simplicity and cost advantages of a single-switch architecture. By ...

Featured in this project are the drivers used to drive flyback transformers in flyback mode, or push-pull topology because they are not conventional transformers. In anything with a CRT such as TV or ...

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 ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. Let's return to the question, “Why Have an Air Gap?” initially posed in the Power Design article in the December 2002 issue of Power Electronics ...

The pulse-edge transformer (PET) is used as a medium to transmit PWM pulses from a secondary-side controller, such as EZ-PD™ PAGxS, to a primary-side controller, such as EZ-PD™ PAGxP, for AC/DC ...

[Matt] works at a neon sign power supply company. When a vendor error left him with quite a few defective high voltage transformers, he couldn’t bring himself to ...

As the demand for smaller form factors and higher energy efficiency for charger/adapter grows, the wide bandgap (WBG) device technology is gaining popularity. To use the potential of WBG and thus ...

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 ...
