Abstract
In the Phase Shifted Full Bridge(: PSFB) converter, there are several design factors including power switches, power switches' driving circuits, transformer and inductor, and rectifier stage, etc. Among them, a key factor influencing an optimal performance of the PSFB converter is the design of transformer. Especially, its effect becomes more important in low voltage and high power applications. In this paper, a study on an optimal design of transformer in the PSFB converter is presented. The design equations for the transformer are derived and analyzed in details, and an example design of the transformer for a 12V, 1200W server power supply application is showed as the result of analysis.
