A new approach to designing a synchronous rectifier will help engineers unlock efficiency gains that extend beyond ...

Isolated outputs are required for a broad range of DC/DC converter applications and not just the telecom- and datacom-mandated 48V isolation requirements. Isolation can be necessary for ...

This application note presents a step-by-step design procedure and guidelines for off-line flyback converters using Fairchild Power Switch (FPS). The design process was made more efficient with the ...

Here, Rich Miron, Applications Engineer at Digi-Key Electronics explores the operation of switch mode power supplies and explores make Vs. buy decision process for power supplies. Miron also ...
