A flyback diode is a diode used to eliminate flyback, which is the sudden voltage spike seen across an inductive load when its supply voltage is suddenly reduced or removed. A flyback transformer, also called a line output transformer, is a special type of electrical transformer designed to generate high voltage sawtooth signals at a relatively high frequency.
A flyback diode (sometimes called a snubber diode, freewheeling diode, suppressor diode, suppression diode, clamp diode, or catch diode) is a diode used to eliminate flyback, which is the sudden voltage spike seen across an inductive load when its supply voltage is suddenly reduced or removed.
A flyback transformer (FBT), also called a line output transformer (LOPT), is a special type of electrical transformer. It was initially designed to generate high-voltage sawtooth signals at a relatively high frequency. In modern applications it is used extensively in switched-mode power supplies for both low-voltage (3 V) and high-voltage (over 10 kV) supplies.
