Pulse Transformers and Their Uses
A pulse transformer is a special type of transformer that is specially designed and optimized to transmit voltage pulses from windings to the load. It’s also known as gate drive, signal, trigger or wide-band transformer. The transformer can be used to transmit signals/ galvanic isolation, as a component of high power supply (switch mode) and as a component of low powered circuit control. Essentially, it’s any transformer that can transmit voltage pulses with sufficient signal fidelity. Conditions such as high permeability core, little interwinding capacitance and low leakage inductance are fairly common for transformers in varying switched mode supplies. For these reasons, the...
