As [Sam Ben-Yaakov] points out in a recent video, you don’t often see flyback converters these days. That’s because there are smarter ways to get the same effect, which is to convert between two ...

Analog-controlled power supplies are widely used in small- to medium-power industrial applications, such as industrial robots and semiconductor manufacturing equipment. However, growing demands for ...

Due to their versatility, ease of design, and low cost, flyback converters have become one of the most widely used topologies in power electronics. Its structure derives from one of the three basic ...

Rohm Semiconductor has introduced a new reference design that can control two commonly used power converter types— critical conduction mode (CCM) power factor correction (PFC) and quasi-resonant ...

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

At PCIM in Nuremberg today, Power Integrations revealed five 800V automotive power supply reference designs for its 1,700V InnoSwitch3-AQ flyback dc-dc converter IC: “The designs leverage both wound ...

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.

KYOTO, Japan, Sept. 18, 2025 /PRNewswire/ -- ROHM Co., Ltd. has developed a new reference design (REF67004) that uses a single MCU to control two commonly used power-converter types for consumer and ...
