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 ...

From our discussion in last month's Power Design column, we know that low cost and simplicity are the major advantages of the flyback topology. In multiple output applications, the addition of a ...

Here, Rich Miron, Applications Engineer at Digi-Key Electronics explores the operation of switch mode power supplies and explores make Vs. buy decision process for power supplies. Miron also ...

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 ...

Multi-Output Flybacks can be the low cost topology of choice where multiple output voltages are needed from an efficient power supply. Advantages of the flyback converter include small BOM count, good ...
