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 ...

Designing flyback transformers for switch-mode power supplies involves many calculations. A spreadsheet can make short work of this otherwise-tedious task. When you develop flyback power supplies, ...

Single-transistor forward converters are popular in higher-power isolated power supplies because they feature low parts count and component stress. On the downside, careful attention must be given to ...

A simple approach based on original research attacks inrush currents at the source - the power transformer. The use of special core materials and transformer design/construction techniques overcomes ...
