What is a Flyback Converter?
Flyback Converter is a type of Isolated DC-DC Converter that can be used in both step-up and step-down configurations. It consists of a transformer, switch, rectifier, filter, and control circuitry to provide regulated DC output. This transformer helps to isolate and steps down or up the output voltage by adjusting the turns ratio.
Key benefits of Flyback Converter:
- Provide safety to humans and sensitive devices from the high and potentially hazardous AC input voltage.
- Breaking ground loops (helpful to isolate the noisy circuits from sensitive circuits).
- Avoids floating output.
- High efficiency.
- Adjustable Output Voltage.
- Undervoltage lockout protection.
- Input over-voltage.
- Over-current protection.
- Thermal shutdown protection.
- Excellent transient response.
Flyback Converters are ideal for use in industrial sensors, industrial switches, ground loop mitigation, isolated IGBT gate driver, test and measurement equipment, process control, transportation/heavy equipment, defense/aerospace, universal input offline AC-DC power supplies, battery chargers, industrial, isolated Fieldbus interfaces, PLC I/O modules, smart meters, and floating power supply generation applications.
