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 ...

Figure 1 shows the architecture of a conventional isolated flyback converter. These converters can be found frequently in power classes of up to about 60W. A supply voltage is converted to an output ...

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 ...

Inductors can be found in many of the devices you use every day, but if you’ve been working only with DC in your projects there’s a good chance you’ve never needed to know anything about them. Now’s ...

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 — far beyond the well-known telecom and datacom mandated isolation requirements. Isolation can be necessary for noise ...

Linear Technology’s LT3809 flyback secondary-side synchronous rectifier driver replaces the output diode forward-voltage drop with the RDS(ON) of an external N-channel MOSFET, thus reducing the power ...
