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 ...

A new way to build your own DC power supply with more control over design choices and how the system is put together.

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 ...

Featured in this project are the drivers used to drive flyback transformers in flyback mode, or push-pull topology because they are not conventional transformers. In anything with a CRT such as TV or ...

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 ...

SAN DIEGO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Pulse Electronics Power BU, a leading provider of electronic components, is pleased to announce the release of its new AEC-Q200 qualified high isolation SMT flyback gate ...

The transformer has primary to secondary isolation up to 7 kVdc. Typical applications include line and portable-medical devices, industrial lasers, ion generators, powder coating, painting equipment, ...

In this article, I'll show you how to built a Wireless Transfer of Energy Transmitter. Simply put, this device will send electricity to a florescent light bulb and light it up, from up to three feet.

In this article, I'll show you how to build a simplistic circuit to generate negative ions. Negative ions have been known to contribute to fresher air, happier mood, and general health benefits.

A common part used to create a high voltage is a CRT flyback transformer, having been a ubiquitous junk pile component. So many attempts to use them rely on brute force, with power transistors in ...

[Matt] works at a neon sign power supply company. When a vendor error left him with quite a few defective high voltage transformers, he couldn’t bring himself to ...
