The use of power electronics is increasing in the industry for both low-scale applications like chargers for batteries and LED drivers and high-scale applications like photovoltaic (PV) systems and ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. In last month's Power Design column, we examined the functional principles of continuous mode (or incomplete energy transfer mode) of a flyback ...

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 ...

It is important for machine design engineers to understand how transformers work so they can design machinery that operates optimally within the proper voltage ranges, as well as select the right ...
