When alternating current (AC) prevailed over direct current (DC) in the late 1800s, one of the deciding factors was the need for voltage levels to be raised and lowered throughout the power system to ...

Follow these basic steps to select the best transformer for each phase of your next project. Suppose you've got the job of designing the power distribution for an entire building. At some point, ...

The demand for higher efficiency and smaller packages has been the driving force behind advances in switch-mode power-conversion topologies including buck, boost, flyback, forward converters, and ...

All isolated DC-DC power converters include an input filter, output filter, transformer, primary-side switch(s), secondary-side rectification and a controller. The controller can be referenced to ...

In LLC Power Conversion Explained, Part 2: Sine Wave from a Square Wave, a basic square wave Switched Mode Power Supply was shown to be filtered from a square wave into a sine wave. This resulted in a ...

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 ...

Are the benefits of digital integrated power transformers worth it? Smart transformers with exciting new technologies like Internet of Things (IoT) and artificial intelligence (AI) are among the next ...
