The ISL6726 is a highly featured single-ended PWM controller intended for applications using the active clamp forward converter topology in either n- or p-channel active clamp configurations, the ...

Milpitas, CA–DC/DC converters which use a transformer for isolation—as many of them do—have a potential problem: under large, sudden changes in output load or input voltage, the loop closure may not ...

For a PDF version of this article, click here. Power converters based on the forward topology offer high efficiency and good power-handling capability in applications up to several hundred watts. The ...

Linear Technology has a two chip synchronous forward converter chipset with active clamp reset and Direct Flux Limit, which is designed to prevent power transformer saturation under all conditions.

The active clamp transformer reset technique offers many well-documented advantages over traditional single-ended reset techniques, including lower voltage stress on the main MOSFET, the ability to ...

Guest writer Bruce Haug, senior product marketing engineer at Linear Technology describes how a chipset can simplify the design of high-performance forward converters, making them an easy to build and ...
