DC-DC Controllers for Isolated Converter Topologies

View All Parametrics

Support for Isolated Converter Topologies Such as Flyback, Forward, Push-Pull, Half-Bridge and Full-Bridge

We provide a portfolio of DC-DC controllers that support flyback, forward, push-pull, half-bridge and full-bridge isolated converter topologies. These topologies are used to provide electrical isolation between input and output circuits to enhance safety and prevent ground loops.

DC-DC Controllers for Isolated Converter Topologies

Topology: Flyback Converter

A flyback converter uses a transformer to provide isolation and can step up or step down the voltage.

Applications:

  • Power supplies for TVs and monitors
  • Other low- to medium-power applications 
Parametrics

Topology: Push-Pull Converter

A push-pull converter uses two transistors to alternately apply voltage to the primary winding of a transformer.

Applications:

  • Battery chargers
  • Other low- to medium-power applications 
Parametrics

Topology: Forward Converter

A forward converter is similar to a flyback converter, but it uses a transformer to transfer energy directly to the output during the on-time of the switch.

Applications:

  • Industrial power supplies
  • Other medium-power applications 
Parametrics

Topology: Half-Bridge Converter

A half-bridge converter uses two switches to balance and apply voltage to the primary winding of a transformer.

Applications:

  • Server power supplies
  • Other medium- to high-power applications 
Parametrics

Topology: Full-Bridge Converter

A full-bridge converter uses four switches to balance and apply voltage to the primary winding of a transformer.

Applications:

  • Telecommunication power supplies
  • Other high-power applications 
Parametrics
