When developing TOPSwitch flyback power supplies, transformer design is usually the biggest stumbling block. Flyback transformers are not designed or used like normal transformers. Energy is stored in ...

The low cost, simplicity of design and intrinsic efficiency of flyback transformers have made them a popular solution for power supply designs of below 100W to 150W. Other advantages of the flyback ...

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 ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. Let's return to the question, “Why Have an Air Gap?” initially posed in the Power Design article in the December 2002 issue of Power Electronics ...

A look at several flyback transformer designs highlighting the advantages of using Litz wire to reduce AC power loss in the total coil design. TTI.inc has submitted this post. Written by: Kyle ...

For serious high-voltage plasma, you need a serious transformer. [Jay Bowles] from Plasma Channel is taking his projects to the next level, so he built a beefy 6000:1 flyback transformer. [Jay] first ...

element14 and Bourns launched the Experimenting with Flyback Transformers Design Challenge. The competition invites design engineers and enthusiasts to explore the world of flyback transformers, ...

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 ...

Switch mode transformers (switching transformers) are used mainly in switching power supplies and DC-DC converters. They provide a storage element for transferring energy from input to output in ...

Coilcraft LPD3015 Series surface-mount 1:1 coupled power inductors are ideal for Flyback, SEPIC, Cuk, Zeta and other applications. Their compact, low-profile design and magnetic shielding make them ...
