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 ...

Last month's Code Calculations article covered transformer calculation definitions and some specifics of delta transformer calculations. This month we turn our attention to the differences between ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...
