The flyback design is a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) that’s been used for 70+ years and still going strong. This supply—also called a power converter—has two distinct operating phases, with power ...

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 ...

In PoE systems, performance of the flyback converter used to step down the 48-V supply in the powered device depends on careful transformer design. A growing number of electronic devices require both ...

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 ...

Isolated outputs are required for a broad range of DC/DC converter applications — far beyond the well-known telecom and datacom mandated isolation requirements. Isolation can be necessary for noise ...

[Skyy] sent us a video of him cooking s’mores with an electric arc. He’s using a flyback transformer with a zero voltage switching (ZVS) driver. This produces about 50 kV, which is more than enough to ...

To investigate the electrical realm of high-frequency and high-voltage, Tesla invented an apparatus that pushed the limits of electrical understanding. None of the circuit's typical components were ...

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 ...
