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 ...

From our discussion in last month's Power Design column, we know that low cost and simplicity are the major advantages of the flyback topology. In multiple output applications, the addition of a ...

Applications ranging from consumer electronics to high-power energy-conversion systems leverage the benefits of dc-dc power converters in their designs. Among these, flyback converters are popular for ...

Flyback converters are widely used in isolated DC/DC applications because of their relative simplicity and low cost compared to alternative isolated topologies. Even so, designing a traditional ...

Figure 1 shows the architecture of a conventional isolated flyback converter. These converters can be found frequently in power classes of up to about 60W. A supply voltage is converted to an output ...

In some circuits, galvanic isolation is necessary due to safety considerations. In other circuits, functional isolation is used to block any interference on signals. A galvanically isolated power ...
