Isolated outputs are required for a broad range of DC/DC converter applications — far beyond the well-known telecom and datacom mandated isolation requirements. Isolation can be necessary for noise ...

This circuit is included in all the LT3574 applications circuits and Schottky diodes are typically the best choice to be used in the snubber, due to their fast turn-on time. Figure 4: RCD clamp ...

My annoyance then every time I see a self oscillating converter using a flyback transformer is this: why can’t they use a flyback circuit, all they have to do is find a TV service manual or two ...

Using the functional principles of continuous mode of a flyback transformer, Keith Billings looks at the function of an air gap in a ... The example assumes 100% efficiency and zero diode drop.

Advantages are no dc component in the transformer; no reverse recovery problems in the output rectifier diodes (they're OFF before Q1 turns ON again) less turns; and no right-half-plane-zero in ...

Voltage spikes on the power switch and output diode caused by the flyback transformer leakage inductance usually require a voltage clamp and/or snubber circuit to limit the peak voltage, further ...

Flyback transformers can be bought online but can also be salvaged from old CRT TVs and CRT PC monitors. They’ll most often have high voltage diodes built-in after the output of the secondary ...
