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.

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 ...

Linear Technology's LT3573 is an isolated monolithic flyback switching regulator with an integrated 1.25-A, 60-V npn power switch. The LT3573 significantly simplifies the design of a flyback converter ...

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 ...

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 ...

The HM210-05K060LFTR flyback transformer from TT Electronics is designed for use with Avago's ACPL-32JT/302J IGBT chipset. With its high level of isolation, the transformer is said to be optimised for ...
