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 ...

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 ...

The most ubiquitous power supply topology that manufacturers use today is the flyback topology. This article examines the choices made when designing a flyback power supply and explores the ...

Linear Technology Corporation’s LT3798 is an isolated flyback controller with single stage active power factor correction (PFC). Efficiencies greater than 86% can be achieved with output power levels ...

In recent electronic devices, the demand for energy savings has become increasingly difficult to meet due to very stringent requirements such as high efficiency, low power dissipation, and reduced ...
