Flyback Transformers

Schott Magnetics flyback transformers (also known as line output transformers) are used by many industries in switched-mode power supplies for:

  • Power and electrical supply conversion
  • DC to DC power conversion
  • AC-DC power supplies
  • Converters and inverters
  • Computers, PoE motors, generators, and electrical pumps

How Flyback Transformers Work

Key power supply parts include a/an:

  • Flyback transformer
  • Primary switch
  • Mutually coupled inductor
  • Output rectifier
  • Input capacitor 
  • Output capacitor

All these parts work together to create a simple switch-mode power supply for AC/DC applications.

Here’s how:

  1. The primary switch amplifies the electronic signals within a device.
  2. When the primary switch is on, energy remains stored in the transformer.
  3. When the primary switch is off, the transformer current flows. 
  4. Voltage is generated from a few kilovolts up to 50 kilovolts. This is coupled with high-frequency currents from 17 kHz to 50 kHz.
