| Abstract |
Magnetization inductance of the transformer plays a key role in Forward topology that is equipped with an active clamp circuit. The energy content of the inductance can be used to discharge the parasitic capacitance of the primary switch prior to turning-on of the device and in theory a zero-voltage-switching is achievable. This paper includes a study of the impact of the magnetization inductance on the operation of the Forward with active clamp and which, moreover, uses self-driven synchronous rectifiers. Paper includes analysis of the converter and measured results from a 3.4 V and 30 A prototype converter. |
