The iW3623 by Dialog Semiconductor is a SSL LED driver that integrates boost and flyback converters into a single IC, resulting in lower cost and a simplified design plus exceptional performance. The ...

Several series of AC/DC controllers from Nexperia provide lower standby current and higher conversion efficiency for flyback converters. The NEX806xx and NEX808xx are ...

Flyback converter technology remains pivotal in modern power electronics, offering a versatile solution for a broad range of applications from consumer electronics to industrial power supplies. Recent ...

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 ...

LEDs have come a very long way in performance and “comfort factor” in the past few decades for many good reasons. At the same time, the basic ac-line LED “supply” consisting of an ac/dc voltage-output ...

Analog Devices has announced a two-phase boost controller whose phases can be arranged in multiple topologies, including one in which the output of the first channel can feed the input of second ...

Analog Devices, Inc., which recently acquired Linear Technology Corporation, announces the LTC1871X, a wide input range, current mode, boost, flyback or SEPIC controller that drives an N-channel power ...

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 ...

ST has added 65 Watt flyback converter in the VIPerGaN series that combines a 700V GaN transistor and quasi-resonant PWM control IC in a single QFN 5×6 package. VIPerGaN65W is aimed at cost-effective ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. When designing converters, it is often desirable to measure the dc current coming into the converter. This is particularly true when batteries are ...
