Design engineers are constantly faced with the challenge of specifying a transformer that will meet design specifications as well as cost constraints. The designer who draws up the circuit ...

Transformers for power applications often are limited in size by an acceptable temperature rise. An acceptable temperature rise of a transformer is usually dependent on limitations of the materials ...

Designing flyback transformers for switch-mode power supplies involves many calculations. A spreadsheet can make short work of this otherwise-tedious task. When you develop flyback power supplies, ...

Significant cost reductions and performance enhancements in planar magnetics have been introduced in recent years. These include replacing costly multilayer PCBs with lower-resistance flat coil ...
