MR16 halogen lamps normally operate from a low-voltage AC source typically generated by a low-frequency AC transformer or by a high-frequency electronic transformer. In most MR16 applications, the ...

The electronic transformer is an alternate method of power conversion than the standard iron core technique. This application note demonstrates the benefits of using an electronic transformer to power ...

If you're a serious electronics hobbyist, the sort that builds spot welders, plasma cutters, or car battery chargers, you'll find that a large portion of your project cost consists of transformers ...

The future of electronic devices lies partly within the 'internet of things' -- the network of devices, vehicles and appliances embedded within electronics to enable connectivity and data exchange.

Frenetic Electronics' updated planar magnetics design and simulation tool addresses thermal constraints and power density ...

The mains of the world were constructed as a giant copper causeway to transport electricity from the generating station to our homes and factories. Today's problems on the mains were unknown a few ...

Like many passive component markets, magnetic component manufacturers face challenges in shrinking component size and weight while also delivering higher performance. Inductors and transformers are ...

It’s no secret that the electrical grid is aging, but one part stands out from the rest. Transformers haven’t changed much since Thomas Edison made his first light bulb. Now, a string of startups are ...
