Selecting a No-Opto Flyback DC/DC Converter for Space-Constrained Designs

On August 29, 2019 in All, Power by Robert Huntley

Traditionally, isolated DC/DC flyback converters used an optocoupler or a third transformer winding for line regulation. This led to design complexity, increased cost, and the need for more PCB space. Simplify your design with a no-opto flyback converter IC to regain PCB space and lower your BOM cost.
