Galvanically isolated power supplies are used in numerous applications for different reasons. In some circuits, galvanic isolation is necessary due to safety considerations. In other circuits, ...

In telecom applications, the most common power-supply input voltage is −48 V. For years, telephone company central offices have supplied −48 V to operate standard phones, and they continue to do so.

These devices are intended to simplify designing and building compact, efficient USB-PD chargers, fast battery chargers, and auxiliary power supplies and can handle reduced loads with a proprietary ...

This Design Idea significantly improves conversion efficiency of externally driven flyback converter-based capacitor charging units intended for flash-lamp-pumped, pulsed solid-state laser sources. In ...

Flyback converters are widely used in isolated DC/DC applications because of their relative simplicity and low cost compared to alternative isolated topologies. Even so, designing a traditional ...

As [Sam Ben-Yaakov] points out in a recent video, you don’t often see flyback converters these days. That’s because there are smarter ways to get the same effect, which is to convert between two ...

The choice between a flyback or single-ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC) topology often ends with the designer choosing the most familiar one, but that’s not always the right option, say John ...

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 ...

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 ...

Abstract: Power-electronics engineers designing switched mode power supplies (SMPS) are faced with the challenges of limited space, the need to meet worldwide energy regulations, and ease of design.
