LEDs have come a very long way in performance and “comfort factor” in the past few decades for many good reasons. At the same time, the basic ac-line LED “supply” consisting of an ac/dc voltage-output ...
ST’s VIPerGaN50W houses a 700-V GaN power transistor, flyback controller, and gate driver in a compact 5×6-mm QFN package. The quasi-resonant offline converter delivers up to 75 W from high-line input ...
Compared to conventional hard-switched converters with fixed switching frequencies, the quasi-resonant converter (QRC) topology is a very attractive alternative for power supply designers. The ...
The Forward and Flyback converters are two popular topologies widely used in isolated DC-DC power converters. These topologies are favored by designers for their simplicity, ability to handle multiple ...
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 ...
