Customized High Frequency Magnetics: Made to Fit
Electronetics has extensive experience designing and building custom high frequency magnetic components in virtually every shape, size, frequency and power level. We can also optimize your overall circuit design with a transformer or inductor precisely customized for your application.
Single-Ended Buck
Operates at a higher frequency than a typical line transformer. Used in a class of power supplies known as "switched-mode." Part of a circuit topology known as a buck regulator, which indicates to the designer that a special set of parameters is required for proper performance.
Push-Pull Buck - Derived Forward
Switched-mode transformer that differs from single-ended buck in that the latter only works magnetically in one direction, whereas push-pull topology works in both directions for superior core utilization. Primary and secondary coil(s) typically have a winding with a tap directly in the center of the coil.
A common variation is a full bridge, or "H" bridge, consisting of 4 power transistors with the transformer primary connected in between, thus forming an "H". The primary is simpler with a single winding while the secondary is often identical to the push-pull version.
Flyback - Discontinuous Current (or Continuous Current)
Switched-mode transformer that stores transferred energy to the secondary. "Continuous/discontinuous" indicates whether current flowing through the secondary decays to zero before the next cycle commences (discontinuous), or whether some current is flowing when the next cycle commences (continuous).
Gate / Base Drive
Designed to interface a power transistor drive circuit to the power transistor gate (if a MOSFET) or base (if a bipolar junction transistor). Must comply with strict isolation voltage requirements and feature superior electrical coupling between primary and secondary. Circuit topology can vary significantly; e.g, single primary and single secondary; single primary with dual isolated secondaries; push-pull primary with either of the two secondary types.
High Frequency Inductors
Used in switched-mode power supplies to filter high frequency pulses common in switched-mode power supplies. Can be designed to work with substantial DC current with AC superimposed on top, or with no DC at all.
RF Power Transformers
This is a special class of high frequency transformer for very high operating frequencies. Requires special consideration in the selection of appropriate core and wire materials.
