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 ...

Several switching-converter topologies exist for power converters that operate from the ac mains and must maintain a power factor of 0.9 or better. One topology is a boost converter with a control ...

Peter Green explains advantages of LED drivers based on the flyback power-supply topology: They're inexpensive; they provide an isolated output that complies with UL safety requirements; they make it ...

Galvanically isolated power supplies are used in numerous applications for different reasons. In some circuits, galvanic isolation is necessary due to safety considerations. In other circuits, ...

Flyback converter technology remains pivotal in modern power electronics, offering a versatile solution for a broad range of applications from consumer electronics to industrial power supplies. Recent ...

The SRK1004 synchronous-rectifier controller from STMicroelectronics is designed to improve efficiency and reduce component count on the secondary side of active-clamp resonant and quasi-resonant ...

Power supply company Pulsiv has developed a graphical technique – a nomogram – to determine critical transformer parameters for fly-back converters operating in discontinuous conduction mode. “This ...

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 ...

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 ...

When first starting an electronics project, it’s not uncommon to dive right in to getting the core parts of the project working. Breadboarding the project usually involves working with a benchtop ...

ST has added 65 Watt flyback converter in the VIPerGaN series that combines a 700V GaN transistor and quasi-resonant PWM control IC in a single QFN 5×6 package. VIPerGaN65W is aimed at cost-effective ...
