One trend that shows no size of ending is the move to smaller personal electronic devices. From smartphones to tablets, each successive generation is smaller and more powerful than the last. It’s ...

The quasi-resonant flyback (QRF) power converter is a popular choice in low-power offline applications in the 150-W-or-less output power range for many reasons. The QRF converter has a low component ...

In the standard form of a flyback converter, the leakage inductance of the transformer creates a voltage spike on the drain of the primary field-effect transistor (FET). Preventing this spike from ...

The Forward and Flyback converters are two popular topologies widely used in isolated DC-DC power converters. These topologies are favored by designers for their simplicity, ability to handle multiple ...

Sponsored by Texas Instruments: Adding gallium-nitride devices such as FETs to power-supply topologies such as the active-clamp flyback can lead to a variety of performance improvements. It’s not news ...
