Peter Green explains advantages of LED drivers based on the flyback power-supply topology: They're inexpensive; they provide an isolated output that complies with UL safety requirements; they make it ...

Switch-mode regulators include the buck (step-down) and the boost (step-up), forward and flyback topologies, as well as the SEPIC, hysteretic and multiphase converters. Two basic IC topologies are ...

The single stage PFC flyback converter remains the topology of choice in many off line AC-DC LED power supplies. This is largely due to its low component count and cost, combined with efficiency of ...

This document tackles the basic principles of a flyback converter and the mechanisms behind its operation. It includes a brief but concise discussion on designing Resistor-Capacitor-Diode (RCD) ...
