Electrical isolation requirement A basic disadvantage of the dc-dc converters (buck, boost etc.) is the electrical connection between the input and the output. If the input supply is grounded, that same ground will be present on the output. A way to isolate the output from the input electrically is with a transformer. If the dc-dc converter has a first stage that rectifies an ac power source to dc, a transformer could be used on the ac side. However, not all applications require ac to dc conversion as a first stage. Moreover, a transformer operating at a low frequency (50 or 60 Hz) requires a large magnetic core and is therefore relatively large, heavy, and expensive. 3
Electrical isolation requirement A more efficient method of providing electrical isolation between input and output of a dc-dc converter is to use a transformer in the switching scheme. The switching frequency is much greater than the ac power-source frequency, enabling the transformer to be small. Additionally, the transformer turns ratio provides increased design flexibility in the overall relationship between the input and the output of the converter. With the use of multiple transformer windings, switching converters can be designed to provide multiple output voltages. 4

Most used transformer model The leakage inductances L1 and L2 are usually not crucial to the general operation of the power electronics circuits described in this chapter, but they are important when considering switching transients. Magnetic core reset is important! The average voltage of Lm must be zero! Otherwise the transformer saturates! 7
THE FLYBACK CONVERTER Note the transformer winding direction!!! 8
Assumptions for the analysis 1. The output capacitor is very large, resulting in a constant output voltage Vo. 2. The circuit is operating in the steady state, implying that all voltages an currents are periodic, beginning and ending at the same points over one switching period. 3. The duty ratio of the switch is D, being closed for time DT and open (1-D)T. 4. The switch and diode are ideal. 9

Average magnetizing current Substituting Substituting 14
Min&max value of I Lm Continues current operation requires that I Lm,min >0 At the boundary between CCM and DCM; I Lm,min =0 15
Output voltage ripple The output configuration for the flyback converter is the same as for the buck-boost converter, so the output ripple voltages for the two converters are also the same. Buck-boost 16

Output voltage ripple The circuit configuration on the output of the forward converter is the same as that for the buck converter, so the output voltage ripple based on an ideal capacitance is also the same. EXAMPLE 7-4 AND 7-5 ARE HOMEWORK The equivalent series resistance of the capacitor often dominates the output voltage ripple. The peak-to-peak voltage variation due to the ESR is 29

Output voltage ripple Ripple voltage on the output is derived in a manner similar to the buck converter. The output ripple for the push-pull converter is EXAMPLE 7-6 ARE HOMEWORK As with the other converters analyzed previously, the equivalent series resistance of the capacitor is usually responsible for most of the voltage output ripple. Recognizing that and using 36
