Flyback converters are widely used for applications with low power consumption. This topology is characterized by an isolation between its input and output. On cases when it is used on higher power ...

Several switching-converter topologies exist for power converters that operate from the ac mains and must maintain a power factor of 0.9 or better. One topology is a boost converter with a control ...

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, ...
