When first starting an electronics project, it’s not uncommon to dive right in to getting the core parts of the project working. Breadboarding the project usually involves working with a benchtop ...

Designers often use chargers with flyback topologies to quickly charge energy-storage capacitors (references 1 and 2). In a flyback topology, the energy transfer takes place only when the charger’s ...

This technical application note presents the performance comparison of BiMOSFET in flyback converter circuits. It discusses the flyback operation, its application, the BiMOSFET chip technology and the ...

In low-power USB and offline wall adapters, quasi-resonant and discontinuous current mode flyback converter topologies are a popular choice due to their low parts count and relatively low cost.

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 ...

Several bias voltages are needed for supplying and operating an LCD panel. In most cases, specialised integrated circuits with several charge-pumps are used to generate the different voltages. As the ...
