One of the most critical components in a step-up design like Figure 1 is the transformer. Transformers have parasitic components that can cause them to deviate from their ideal characteristics, and the parasitic capacitance associated with the secondary can cause large resonating current spikes on ...
Abstract: There are differences between the operation of low-frequency AC transformers and electronic transformersthat supply current to MR16 lamps, and there are also differences in the current draw for MR16 halogen lamps andMR16 LED lamps. These contrasts typically prevent an MR16 LED lamp from ...
Automotive batteries, industrial power supplies, distributedsupplies and wall transformers are all sources ofwide-ranging high voltage inputs. The easiest way to stepdown these sources is with a high voltage monolithicstep-down regulator that can directly accept a wide inputrange and prod ...
Many system designers need an easy way to producea negative 3.3V power supply. In systems that alreadyhave a transformer, one option is to swap out the existingtransformer with one that has an additional secondarywinding. The problem with this solution is that manysystems now use transfor ...
A frequent requirement in systems involves drivinganalog signals into non-linear or reactive loads. Cables,transformers, actuators, motors and sample-hold circuitsare examples where the ability to drive diffi cult loads isrequired. Although several power buffer amplifi ers areavailable, n ...
The Hilbert Transform is an important component in communication systems, e.g. for single sideband modulation/demodulation, amplitude and phase detection, etc. It can be formulated as filtering operation which makes it possible to approximate the Hilbert Transform with a digital filter. Due to the n ...
There have been many advances in communication circuits since the publication of the first edition of this book.Yet most of communication circuit fundamentals remain intact.Amplifier,oscillator , tuned circuits,transformers,mixers and power amplifiers still among fundamental building&nbs ...
This Section covers the design of power transformers used in buck-derived topologies: forward converter, bridge, half-bridge, and full-wave centertap. Flyback transformers (actually coupled inductors) are covered in a later Section. For more specialized applications, the principles discussed herein ...
