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 ...

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.

Buck regulators are usually the first choice when you design nonisolated step-down regulators unless the ratio of V IN to V OUT is greater than 10, the input voltage is high, or both. Low duty cycle ...

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 ...

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 ...

We’ve seen a number of people create plasma speakers over the years here at Hackaday, so at first blush, the latest Plasma Channel video from [Jay Bowles] might seem like more of the same. Even his ...

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 ...

EMI design:All relevant devices must pass EMC standards, but it can be challenging to optimize devices for EMI performance. Flyback solutions typically require a common-mode (CM) inductor to improve ...
