In a conventional diode-rectified flyback converter, the output diode rectifier is a substantial power-loss contributor. The average current in the output diode is equal to the dc output current, and ...

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 ...

Many times designers are given a set of non-isolated supply specifications where the output voltage falls between the minimum and maximum input voltage. They then have to decide between a flyback or ...

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 trend that shows no size of ending is the move to smaller personal electronic devices. From smartphones to tablets, each successive generation is smaller and more powerful than the last. It’s ...
