[Matt] works at a neon sign power supply company. When a vendor error left him with quite a few defective high voltage transformers, he couldn’t bring himself to ...

The DA2032 is a flyback transformer designed for use with Linear Technology LT3750 capacitor charge controller. It features smaller footprint than other transformers for this application, and used in ...

Applications ranging from consumer electronics to high-power energy-conversion systems leverage the benefits of dc-dc power converters in their designs. Among these, flyback converters are popular for ...

Using a flyback topology to generate a high voltage is a common approach. The voltage can charge a capacitor for a high-energy pulse. Such an approach is used in defibrillator capacitors, photoflash ...

Several switching-converter topologies exist for power converters that operate from the ac mains and must maintain a power factor of 0.9 or better. One topology is a boost converter with a control ...

Everyone likes to play with high voltages, right?. Even though the danger of death goes up with every volt, it’s likely that a few readers will have at some time or other made fancy long sparks.

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 ...

Flyback converter technology remains pivotal in modern power electronics, offering a versatile solution for a broad range of applications from consumer electronics to industrial power supplies. Recent ...

The most common type of power supply today is the switching supply. These units use pulse-width modulation (PWM) to regulate output. Supplies today employ several different PWM circuit configurations.
