The third video covers filtering circuits, and the fourth is the best explanation of why you need a flyback diode when driving a motor (an inductive load) that we’ve seen yet.

Zetex announces a synchronous rectifier controller for flyback converters. Combined with a discrete power Mosfet, the ZXGD3101T8 'zero point detector driver' replaces Schottky and other diodes to cut ...

My annoyance then every time I see a self oscillating converter using a flyback transformer is this: why can’t they use a flyback circuit, all they have to do is find a TV service manual or two ...

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.

In a conventional diode-rectified flyback converter, the output rectifier is a substantial power-loss contributor. The average current in the rectifier is equal to the DC output current, and the peak ...

Power-supply designers usually like flyback converters to operate in DCM (discontinuous-conduction mode) rather than in CCM (continuous-conduction mode). In DCM, the flyback converter is a first-order ...

Diodes Incorporated, a broad supplier of high-performance power semiconductor products, has launched a complete 130 W USB Type-C ® power delivery 3.0 adapter evaluation and development kit. This ...

The flyback converter topology includes an electromagentic interference filter and rectifier, a MOSFET switch, a rectifier diode, and an opto-isolator. They provide an inexpensive, efficient, and ...

In between is an AO3406 N-Channel MOSFET rated for 30Vds, 3.6A peak, and 70mΩ RdsOn plus a 1N4007 flyback diode. The tiny yet super useful board is now available to purchase priced at $3.95 ...

Using the functional principles of continuous mode of a flyback transformer, Keith Billings looks at the function of an air gap in a ferrite core.
