Those readers who have experimented with winding their own inductors will know that it’s not an easy task, and when those inductors are handling high voltages it can be especially tricky to maintain ...
An interesting magnetic design technique used by today's power supply engineers is the blending of transformer and inductive functions of dynamic power conversion circuits on a single magnetic core ...
When designing an offline flyback power supply, integrating the IC with the other components can be overwhelming. Integrating the transformer properly is more than finding the turns-ratio to match ...
Surface mount transformer design, packaging, soldering and RoHS compliance can all quickly come into conflict during the manufacturing process. The rapid temperature changes required by reflow ...
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 ...
Out of curiosity, I redrew the Supercon Vectorscope badge schematics in KiCad last year. As you might suspect, going from PCB to schematic is opposite to the normal design flow of KiCad and most other ...
Signal Transformer, a Bel group company, has announced its High Current Toroidal Choke (HCTC) Design Kit, featuring 15 of its most popular HCTC part numbers in a single, compact package, enabling ...
