Fig. 1: The silicon-controlled rectifier One major aspect of development in broadcast transmitter technology and power electronics is in the area of power control. On the traditional transformer, we ...

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 ...

This gate-drive transformer (GDT)circuit allows the drive signal to the MOSFET to range from 50% down to 0%, while still offering a fast turn-off that cannot be accomplished with a simple load ...

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) ...
