Several switching-converter topologies exist for power converters that operate from the ac mains and must maintain a power factor of 0.9 or better. One topology is a boost converter with a control ...

Numerous applications can’t operate in low-voltage ranges due to the physical reality of their situation. For these installations, a converter such as the Analog Devices LT8316 600 V IN isolated ...

The flyback DC/DC converter topology results in significant cost and space savings for multiple-output power supplies with high output voltage for power levels up to 100 W. Flyback topologies store ...

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 ...

Here, Rich Miron, Applications Engineer at Digi-Key Electronics explores the operation of switch mode power supplies and explores make Vs. buy decision process for power supplies. Miron also ...

The choice between a flyback or single-ended primary inductance converter (SEPIC) topology often ends with the designer choosing the most familiar one, but that’s not always the right option, say John ...

Maybe I'm describing a unicorn device here but I have a bunch of devices that run off DC-in of various voltages, and take a barrel jack connector for power. They all have their own wall warts but I've ...
