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 ...

A flyback converter is a type of switched-mode power supply (SMPS) that can convert an input voltage to an output voltage of a different magnitude and polarity. It is widely used in applications ...

A third advantage of using a flyback converter in low-power applications is that it has a simple and low-cost design. This is because it requires fewer components than other types of converters ...

In the case of a flyback, the transformer is often described as a coupled inductor. Due to the diode polarity, current only flows in the secondary side during discharge.

This paper advocates an inclusive power loss modeling and simulation of rectifier diode of the Flyback power converter working under continuous conduction mode (CCM) and discontinuous conduction mode ...

Linear Technology’s LT3809 flyback secondary-side synchronous rectifier driver replaces the output diode forward-voltage drop with the RDS (ON) of an external N-channel MOSFET, thus reducing the ...

Using an electrostatic simulation of the special electrode configuration, an explanation is provided for the polarity-dependent breakdown phenomena. Preliminary experimental tests, using the Pau ...
