A common part used to create a high voltage is a CRT flyback transformer, having been a ubiquitous junk pile component. So many attempts to use them rely on brute force, with power transistors in ...

We’ve seen a number of people create plasma speakers over the years here at Hackaday, so at first blush, the latest Plasma Channel video from [Jay Bowles] might seem like more of the same. Even his ...

With the LT6813, designers can build an optoisolator-free power controller that delivers from 20- to 600-V dc output up to 100 W using an updated version of the long-established “flyback” principle.

A look at the design of a continuous mode flyback transformer - presenting one more example of the function of an air gap in a ferrite core. From our discussion in last month's Power Design column, we ...

Abstract: This paper presents a novel technique for estimating the transformer’s primary inductance of a QR or DCM-operated flyback converter, which does not require additional dedicated external ...
