Download this article in PDF format. If you search the internet for “transformer equivalent circuits,” you’ll get five pages of over 100 small circuit diagrams. Figures 1 and 2 show two typical ...

You probably have needed to match impedances and levels from time to time. Perhaps you want to connect a consumer computer’s sound card to your console; or you need to lower a balanced output level to ...

In switched-mode power supplies (SMPS), magnetic components, namely inductors and transformers, play critical roles. Much of the SMPS design process relies on component specifications and simulation ...

Here are the steps required to select the transformer and how to design the circuit needed to meet the end use in a manner that prevents transformer saturation Average current-mode control (CMC) ...

A recently granted patent (Publication Number: US11777412B2) describes a switching power supply apparatus that includes a switching circuit and an even number of transformers. The switching circuit ...

Single-ended signals are very common, but increasingly signal paths are being converted to differential signals as part of the signal chain. The benefits of differential signaling are particularly ...
