A look at the design of a continuous mode flyback transformer - presenting one more example of the function of an air gap in a ferrite core.

This type of converter seems at first glance to be a simple step-up design with a transformer that has a primary and secondary, where in fact it relies on the collapse in magnetic field during the ...

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 ...

Recent advances in converter control and design have focused on improving efficiency, reducing external component count, and ensuring robust performance under variable loads and supply conditions.

Rohm’s new reference design (REF67004) is capable of controlling two commonly used power converter types in consumer and industrial power supply applications by using a single MCU: critical conduction ...

That circuit can be implemented with only a few low-cost components. It gives practical design hints and tips on designing a PD DC-DC converter stage. It also presents a galvanically isolated, Flyback ...

This isolated buck circuit looks like a combination of buck and flyback converters and, thus, is called Fly-Buck (Figure 3 ). The Fly-Buck converter brings an easy-to-design, small size solution to ...

This was followed by the launch of the REF67004, a reference design incorporating both PFC and flyback converters – topologies commonly used in consumer and industrial equipment.

Figure 3. Example of a circuit with an ADP1074 simulated in LTspice. Power management ICs such as the ADP1074 from Analog Devices offer a very compact solution for designing a forward converter. This ...
