Flyback transformers - used in power supplies to generate high voltages needed for driving a CRT - is a popularly researched topic within the power electronics industry. PET presents a collection of flyback transformer articles, plus links to other flyback transformer content around the web.
Expedite Transformer Calculations for Flybacks
Using a flyback topology to generate a high voltage is a common approach. The voltage can charge a capacitor for a high-energy pulse. Such an approach is used in defibrillator capacitors, photoflash capacitors, strobe capacitors and ignition circuits to name a few...
Control Technique Cuts Flyback Input Capacitance
For flyback power supplies that need long holdup times, a technique called on-time extension maintains regulation with less bulk input capacitance than would be required with conventional, fixed-frequency control...
Flybacks Charge Xenon Flash Capacitors
The popular Xenon photoflash bulb is typically driven by a battery-powered high-voltge source. A flyback converter based on peak current limiting is the best option for this circuit in portable applications...
Improving the Performance of Flyback Power Supplies
Innovative MOSFETs and flyback controllers help designers meet challenging efficiency and power density requirements, while also satisfying demands for reliability and low cost....
Topology Selection by the Numbers
Focus on isolated converters in both narrow and wide line-range applications, beginning with a basic flyback circuit....
Testing of Flyback Transformers
Addresses the operation and testing of flyback transformers - how and why flyback transformers, and how to test them. ...
Inductor and Flyback Transformer Design (PDF)
Flyback transformers are members of the "power inductor"
family, functioning by taking energy from the
electrical circuit, storing it in a magnetic field, and
subsequently returning this energy (minus losses) to
the circuit....
