Of the many converter topologies around today, the flyback topology is one of the most frequently used. Although simple, this converter design offers great advantages for certain applications. New, more complex topologies have surfaced in recent years, but flyback converters remain a popular design choice. These switch-mode power converters offer competitive size, cost, and efficiency ratios in t...

Every switch-mode power supply presents a wide-band noise source. Integrating a DC/DC converter from the car board net into an automotive control unit and still fulfilling the EMC requirements of automotive OEMs is a difficult task. Typically, noise from the DC/DC converter and other high-speed circuits radiates via connected cables that provide an effective antenna path. To block this potential ...
