Soft magnetic materials (materials that can easily be magnetized) come in many forms. For switchmode power supply flyback transformers and chokes, we would consider gapped ferrites, Iron powder, ...

Linear Technology Corporation announces the LT3512, a high voltage isolated monolithic flyback regulator that significantly simplifies the design of an isolated DC/DC converter. No optocoupler, third ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Forward and Flyback converters are two popular topologies widely used in isolated DC-DC power converters. These topologies are favored by designers for their simplicity, ability to handle multiple ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. The “lowly” flyback switched-mode power supply (SMPS) is still a workhorse in the power supply business for requirements below 100 W, but the ...

If you've ever been around old computers with their big, boxy displays, you're probably familiar with a subtle but obnoxious noise they make: a high-pitched whine. Old computer screen utilize ...
