A common part used to create a high voltage is a CRT flyback transformer, having been a ubiquitous junk pile component. So many attempts to use them rely on brute force, with power transistors in ...

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 ...

A growing number of electronic devices require both data connectivity and a power source to function effectively. The IEEE 802.3af standard outlines a method for delivering power and data over LAN ...

Several switching-converter topologies exist for power converters that operate from the ac mains and must maintain a power factor of 0.9 or better. One topology is a boost converter with a control ...

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 ...

Here, Rich Miron, Applications Engineer at Digi-Key Electronics explores the operation of switch mode power supplies and explores make Vs. buy decision process for power supplies. Miron also ...

Numerous applications can’t operate in low-voltage ranges due to the physical reality of their situation. For these installations, a converter such as the Analog Devices LT8316 600 V IN isolated ...
