In a conventional diode-rectified flyback converter, the output diode rectifier is a substantial power-loss contributor. The average current in the output diode is equal to the dc output current, and ...

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 ...

Linear Technology's LTC3873 is a current-mode, PWM controller that reduces the size and complexity of flyback, boost and single-ended primary-inductance converter power supplies. Linear Technology’s ...

Power supply company Pulsiv has developed a graphical technique – a nomogram – to determine critical transformer parameters for fly-back converters operating in discontinuous conduction mode. “This ...

Switch-mode power supplies (SMPS) based on the boost principle can convert a low voltage into a higher voltage. For this purpose, the standard boost topology is used as shown in Figure 1. 1. A simple ...
