Creative Solutions For Complex Specifications

 

Electronic Craftsmen has been designing and building Switch Mode Power Supplies for over 20 years. Understanding SMPS fundamentals is critical in optimizing transformer design to achieve:

 

  • Smaller Size - Cooler Operation - Lower Losses
  • Appropriate topology
  • Optimal materials – frequency dependent

 

Example Types of Switch Mode Transformers:

 

  • Switching Converter
  • Flyback
  • Forward Converter
  • Push-Pull
  • Full Bridge
  • High Current
  • Buck - Boost
