Let’s be honest. Playing with high voltage is awesome. Dangerous, but awesome — well, as long as you handle it properly. Flyback transformers are a great way to make a nice big electrical arc, but ...

The low-power (milliwatt) flyback transformer used in a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) needs to be designed with a gap in the magnetic path for maximum power delivery over temperature. Transformers ...

Cooking food with fire is arguably the technology that propelled humans to become the dominant species on Earth. It’s pretty straightforward to achieve, just requiring a fuel source, a supply of ...

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 ...

One of the most common sources of power is offline, also known as the AC mains. With the increase of products aimed at integrating typical household features, there is greater demand for low-power off ...

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 ...
