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 ...

The DA2032 is a flyback transformer designed for use with Linear Technology LT3750 capacitor charge controller. It features smaller footprint than other transformers for this application, and used in ...

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 ...

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.

A growing number of electronic devices require both data connectivity and a power source to function effectively. The IEEE 802.3af standard outlines a method for delivering power and data over LAN ...

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.

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 ...
