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 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 ...

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 ...

Inductors can be found in many of the devices you use every day, but if you’ve been working only with DC in your projects there’s a good chance you’ve never needed to know anything about them. Now’s ...

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 ...
