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 ...

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 ...

For the PDF version of this article, click here. Among power-converter topologies, the single-transistor forward converter is one of the most common for power levels below 100 W. This article, however ...

As mentioned before, in a forward topology, a filter inductor is required for each output winding. However, if each winding contains a separate inductor, the cross-regulation can become quite poor as ...

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 ...
