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 ...

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 ...

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 serious high-voltage plasma, you need a serious transformer. [Jay Bowles] from Plasma Channel is taking his projects to the next level, so he built a beefy 6000:1 flyback transformer. [Jay] first ...

We’ve seen a number of people create plasma speakers over the years here at Hackaday, so at first blush, the latest Plasma Channel video from [Jay Bowles] might seem like more of the same. Even his ...

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

element14 and Bourns launched the Experimenting with Flyback Transformers Design Challenge. The competition invites design engineers and enthusiasts to explore the world of flyback transformers, ...

Coilcraft LPD3015 Series surface-mount 1:1 coupled power inductors are ideal for Flyback, SEPIC, Cuk, Zeta and other applications. Their compact, low-profile design and magnetic shielding make them ...
