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 ...

Cooking food with fire is arguably the technology that propelled humans to become the dominant species on Earth. It’s pretty straightforward to achieve, just requiring a fuel source, a supply of ...

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 ...

Which topology do you chose when your specification calls for a non-isolated power supply and the output voltage falls between the minimum and maximum input voltage? Is the tried-and-true flyback used ...

The choice between a flyback or single-ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC) topology often ends with the designer choosing the most familiar one, but that’s not always the right option, say John ...
