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 ...

Featured in this project are the drivers used to drive flyback transformers in flyback mode, or push-pull topology because they are not conventional transformers. In anything with a CRT such as TV or ...

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 the PDF version of this article, click here. Let's return to the question, “Why Have an Air Gap?” initially posed in the Power Design article in the December 2002 issue of Power Electronics ...

Make sure you take a look at a new feature on the site, regarding switching-converter topologies for power converters – Flyback transformer enables high power-factor and converter efficiency Several ...

The competition invites design engineers and enthusiasts to explore the world of flyback transformers, integral components used in switched-mode power supplies, converters, inverters, and more.

The HM210-05K060LFTR flyback transformer from TT Electronics is designed for use with Avago's ACPL-32JT/302J IGBT chipset. With its high level of isolation, the transformer is said to be optimised for ...

In this article, I'll show you how to build a simplistic circuit to generate negative ions. Negative ions have been known to contribute to fresher air, happier mood, and general health benefits.

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 ...

[Matt] works at a neon sign power supply company. When a vendor error left him with quite a few defective high voltage transformers, he couldn’t bring himself to ...
