The ever-present march toward better semiconductor devices warrants a fresh look at the forward vs. flyback debate.
In this article, we discuss the characteristics of active-clamp forward and continuous-conduction flyback isolated power supply topologies and demonstrate the design and performance trade-offs of each using two telecom-oriented power supplies as examples. Brief overviews of each topology are provided to aid in the understanding of their similarities and differences and of their strengths and weaknesses.
The TDA4VE, TDA4AL, and TDA4VL processors, built on TI's Jacinto 7 architecture, power smart vision cameras with industry-leading performance and efficiency. Supporting deep ...
As the U.S. moves to ensure competitiveness of domestic production for strategically critical semiconductors, state-of-the-art automation will be essential.
