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.
Learn how integrated voltage sensing solutions support a more efficient and affordable way of measuring battery life to increase driving range and charge time.
The high-voltage CCE4511 interface IC has overvoltage detection, as well as high temperature and overcurrent protection, based on 0.18m HV-CMOS technology. Typical applications...
