Milpitas, CA–DC/DC converters which use a transformer for isolation—as many of them do—have a potential problem: under large, sudden changes in output load or input voltage, the loop closure may not ...

The active clamp transformer reset technique offers many well-documented advantages over traditional single-ended reset techniques, including lower voltage stress on the main MOSFET, the ability to ...

Linear Technology Corporation announces the LTC3765 and LTC3766 synchronous forward converter chipset with active clamp reset and Direct Flux Limit™ that prevents power transformer saturation under ...

Würth has added PoE++ transformers to its Mid-PoE power-over-Ethernet transformer series. These surface-mount devices are suitable for fly-back or active clamp forward converters that comply with the ...

Power Integrations has moved to active clamp fly-back conversion, zero voltage switching and a GaN transistor to shrink the size of its ac-dc USB-C charger circuits. The chips implementing the ...
