This application note presents a step-by-step design procedure and guidelines for off-line flyback converters using Fairchild Power Switch (FPS). The design process was made more efficient with the ...

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 ...

When first starting an electronics project, it’s not uncommon to dive right in to getting the core parts of the project working. Breadboarding the project usually involves working with a benchtop ...

In some circuits, galvanic isolation is necessary due to safety considerations. In other circuits, functional isolation is used to block any interference on signals. A galvanically isolated power ...

Peter Green explains advantages of LED drivers based on the flyback power-supply topology: They're inexpensive; they provide an isolated output that complies with UL safety requirements; they make it ...

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 ...

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 ...

This course introduces more advanced concepts of switched-mode converter circuits. Realization of the power semiconductors in inverters or in converters having bidirectional power flow is explained.
