This calculator tool supports a Boost Converter Flyback setup which means now the code considers: Corrected turns ratio and primary voltage logic since the flyback works by storing energy during “ON” time and transferring to secondary during “OFF” time. Flyback boost topology where output voltage is higher than input. An accurate duty cycle formula for […]

Ferrite Core Air Gap Calculator Tool
You can use this calculator in your workshop or while designing an SMPS prototype, to find the exact physical gap required between your ferrite core pieces to hit your target inductance. Flyback Transformer Air Gap Calculator Flyback Transformer Air Gap Calculator Target Primary Inductance (Lp in µH): Primary Winding Turns (Np): Core Cross-Section Area (Ae […]
Shunt Resistor Calculator for Ammeters
Ok so here we have one simple calculator which can help us to calculate the shunt resistor value that we need to connect across a normal ammeter when we want to use that ammeter to measure high current, more than its actual range. So normally, ammeter can measure only small current, like 1 amp or […]
