In this article, we discuss the characteristics of active-clamp forward and continuous-conduction flyback isolated power supply topologies and demonstrate the design and performance trade-offs of each using two telecom-oriented power supplies as examples. Brief overviews of each topology are provided to aid in the understanding of their similarities and differences and of their strengths and weaknesses.
In-vehicle networks (IVNs) allow microcontrollers and engine control units (ECUs) to communicate with sensors, actuators, indicators, displays, and each other. One of the classic...
Using the STEVAL-ASTRA1B development kit, designers can quickly implement asset tracking applications for multiple wireless interfaces with minimal coding.
Integrating USB Type-C connectors into designs requires developers pay careful attention to proper connector options and recommended layout guidelines.
