Flyback Converter Design Presented by Maxim

Flyback converters are the simplest of isolated power converters and have the lowest associated component counts, making them ideal for low-power applications that can benefit from a wide range of voltage transfer ratios. Join Maxim’s Giridharan Shanmugavel for an in-depth technical discussion about flyback converters and a comparison of operation in continuous and discontinuous conduction modes.

Discussion Topics:
- Flyback converter topology
- Power conversion steps
- Continuous Conduction Mode (CCM) v. Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM), including steady state and dynamic performance differences
- Typical design comparisons
- Stress and losses in components
- Comprehensive Maxim solutions
Power converter and magnetic component designers as well as application engineers focused on isolated/non-isolated flyback converters should not miss this opportunity to learn how to properly construct a flyback converter design to meet application-specific power conversion requirements.
