A popular electrical component used on many control circuits is the step-down transformer. It is the power source for a separate lower-voltage circuit which typically controls the operation of a ...

This article presents another type of regulator switching topology, which are the isolated DC/DC converters. It covers the flyback and forward DC/DC converter, active clamp forward converter, ...

When developing TOPSwitch flyback power supplies, transformer design is usually the biggest stumbling block. Flyback transformers are not designed or used like normal transformers. Energy is stored in ...

So you have an old tube-type transmitter as a backup. It ran perfectly when you last turned it on two years ago to substitute for your then-ailing solid-state main transmitter. Now you need it again.

Most electronic equipment manufacturers specify nominal nameplate ratings for their products. Typically, these devices and/or systems are designed to operate within a ±10% voltage window. But voltages ...

In switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), magnetic components, namely inductors and transformers, play critical roles. Much of the SMPS design process relies on component specifications and simulation ...

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 ...
