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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
