In this article, you will learn to design a 12V power supply circuit. It will convert 230VAC to 12-15V DC, 10A using the FSDM0565RE IC in a flyback configuration. Switch Mode Power Supply (SMPS) circuits are widely used for high-efficiency power conversion. A flyback converter is one of the most popular topologies for low- to […]
Flyback and forward converters are two of the most commonly used topologies in switch-mode power supplies (SMPS). Although they both function as isolated DC-DC converters, they differ in their operation, design, and applications. Here’s a comparison flyback converter vs forward converter. Flyback Converter Circuit: A flyback converter is a type of DC-DC converter commonly used in […]
Let’s explore various types of chopper circuits with their working and applications. Chopper circuit is a power electronic device that converts a fixed DC voltage into a variable DC voltage. It’s a type of DC-DC Converter which operates by turning ON and OFF a high-speed switch that connects and disconnects the load from the supply at […]
