Flyback converter

A flyback converter is a type of power supply that efficiently transforms electrical energy from one voltage level to another. It works by storing energy temporarily in a magnetic field within a transformer when a switch is closed, then releasing that energy to the output when the switch opens. This process allows the converter to regulate the voltage and current, providing stable power to electronic devices. It is commonly used in power adapters and chargers, especially for creating multiple output voltages or isolating different parts of a circuit for safety and performance.
