[067] Flyback Development Part IV- Current Sense, Snubbing, Regulation

Flyback design transformer and full power testing.

Introduction

This article is the fourth of a series in which Dr. Ridley shows the steps involved in designing and building an offline flyback converter. The power transformer is added to the circuit, and the current sensing and snubbers are designed to operate at full power without excessive stress on the components.

Power Transformer Testing
