Aflux-balance equation for a forward converter with resonant reset enables a designer to minimize primary MOSFET dc losses and calculate voltage stress on power semiconductors. Forward converter with ...

Linear Technology Corporation announces the LTC3765 and LTC3766 synchronous forward converter chipset with active clamp reset and Direct Flux Limit™ that prevents power transformer saturation under ...

VRMs (voltage-regulation modules) that power the latest generations of computer CPUs have historically used multiphase, interleaved buck converters. These VRMs must meet the tight Pentium 4 and Athlon ...

High density isolated DC/DC power converters have changed significantly over the past 25 years. When full brick and half brick devices were introduced, they created a huge amount of excitement; they ...

In the conventional design of a forward converter, the maximum duty cycle can be extended above 50% by using a reset and clamp technique. This technique, known as RCD clamp circuitry, consists of a ...

Guest writer Bruce Haug, senior product marketing engineer at Linear Technology describes how a chipset can simplify the design of high-performance forward converters, making them an easy to build and ...
