We know SMPS can be made in different ways, but two common ones are flyback converter and forward converter, which may look same at first. But inside working is not same at all, so this part matters before you design transformer or power stage. Audio/Video Representation Flyback Converter We see a flyback converter works in […]

High Voltage, High Current Buck Converter Circuit using Isolated Gate Driver
This is a high voltage 310V to 60V buck converter, so we have that big 310V DC coming in which we usually get after rectifying 220V AC mains. So now that high DC is there and we want to push it down to something like 60V or lower for battery charging or similar work. Audio/Video […]
XL6009 DC-DC Converter IC: Pinout, Working, Circuit Diagram, and Applications
XL6009 is a DC-DC switching regulator IC, and we use it where lower voltage DC has to be lifted higher, or sometimes changed other ways, boost, buck-boost, flyback, even inverting, all that is possible depending how outside parts are connected. Why XL6009 is More Efficient Than Linear Regulators It is not like old regulator types […]
SMPS Flyback Boost Converter Calculator
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 […]
Adjustable 1.2V to100V DC Buck Converter Circuit using LM5164
Ok now we have this LM5164 chip, and we want to drop voltage from 100V down to let’s say 12V, right? But we also need 1A output so we need to design everything properly. Now this chip is cool because it has ultra-low quiescent current (IQ) so it does not waste much power when it […]
XL3608 5V, 9V,12V DC, 2 Amp Boost Converter module
This XL3608 2A mini DC to DC Boost Converter module is super compact and efficient and it is just perfect for powering all sorts of devices and systems. Let’s learn about its main features in greater details: Main Features: Input Voltage Range: We can feed this module with an input voltage ranging from DC 2.5-11.5V. […]
