Flyback provides isolated power conversion -  01/07/99 EDN-Design Ideas NOTE :  Mulitple Ideas, Scroll to find this one.  A common requirement in telecommunications systems is to convert an unregulated 48V line to an isolated, accurate dc supply voltage.  The circuit in Figure 1 provIdeas a 5V, 15W output.  The circuit uses a UCC3809 primary-side controller, which can also control other single-ended converters.  The topology uses peak-current-mode control with a fixed-frequency oscillator.  The design is cost-efficient Page includes several designs.__ Circuit Design by Philip Cooke, Unitrode Corp, Merrimack, NH

Flyback Transformer Driver -  This is an efficient flyback driver for modern cylindrical rectified television flybacks.  Many sites doesn't provide circuits driving these transformers, they simply say that they are bad  __ Designed by Jonathan Filippi

Flyback Transformer Driver -  This is by far the best project for someone who is already familiar with High Voltage, but wants to take their experiments to the next level: It requires very little previous experience and skills with soldering and identifying components, and there are virtually no adjustments to be made.  The danger is minimal, as fly back transformers are intrinsically low power devices, not capable of outputting lethal currents (due to the hair-thin secondary windings), and yet it will give a careless experimenter a nasty RF burn if he accidentally touches the HV wire (nothing beats learning from your mistakes).  If you have never experimented with HV before though, I recommend you start off with an electrostatic project.  This circuit is not a toy! __ Contact: Sam Barros
