Many times designers are given a set of non-isolated supply specifications where the output voltage falls between the minimum and maximum input voltage. They then have to decide between a flyback or ...

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 ...

The flyback design is a switched-mode power supply (SMPS) that’s been used for 70+ years and still going strong. This supply—also called a power converter—has two distinct operating phases, with power ...
