Flyback Converter Voltage Step-Up and Step-Down

A flyback converter is a buck-boost converter that can both step voltage up and step it down. It also provides electrical isolation between the input and the output by using a coupled inductor, or flyback transformer. The coupled inductor acts like a transformer with a turns ratio, but it also stores energy through the air g...

A flyback converter is an electrical device with the ability to generate a DC output voltage that can be either greater than or less than the DC input. If a buck converter, which steps down voltage is cascaded with a boost converter, which steps up voltage the result is a buck-boost converter. As its name implies, the buck-boost converter can ei...
