[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 single stage PFC flyback converter remains the topology of choice in many off line AC-DC LED power supplies. This is largely due to its low component count and cost, combined with efficiency of ...

[Skyy] sent us a video of him cooking s’mores with an electric arc. He’s using a flyback transformer with a zero voltage switching (ZVS) driver. This produces about 50 kV, which is more than enough to ...

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 ...

The low-power (milliwatt) flyback transformer used in a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) needs to be designed with a gap in the magnetic path for maximum power delivery over temperature. Transformers ...

In recent electronic devices, the demand for energy savings has become increasingly difficult to meet due to very stringent requirements such as high efficiency, low power dissipation, and reduced ...
