A switched mode power supply (SMPS) is a more modern and efficient take on the older power supplies known as linear supplies. LINEAR SUPPLIES Linear supplies would often take in line voltage, transform this via a low-frequency silicon steel core transformer to...

When it comes to high voltage transformer design, it can be a bit tricky. When you’re trying to target a particular voltage one needs to account for things such as DCR losses in the windings. This is important when regulation is important. Design Procedure: The...

A super quiet EP13 size flyback transformer. Primary inductance is 4.31mH +/- 10%. Switching frequency is 60 KHz minimum. The input is rated at 120V. There are 2 outputs rated at 2.5V/600mA and an aux rated at 17V/20mA. The power rating is 3.4VA, but it could handle...

The forward converter does appear similar to the flyback transformer, but it is actually very different. A forward converter transformer transfers its energy instantly (transformer action), unlike the flyback which stores and then releases that stored energy to the...

Most everything we use of convenience and need these days is electrically powered. Most often we have access to a source of voltage at one, or maybe two particular values. Unfortunately in many cases, the very items we use and need internally have components that do...
