This is a thesis experiment result which is reported with using 16-Bit microprocessor H8 series of Renesas company, organizing digital control which is practicable PWM embodiment, and applying switched-mode power supply. The basic topology consists of the active clamp forward DC-DC converter which is widely used for the highly efficient power supply these days. In an experiment, it incites the result to lay emphasis on the highly efficient operation of converter, and performance of digital control which is practicable PWM embodiment. And it is debated on performance of processor and condition for improving performance of part.

This study proposes a new type of active-clamp forward-flyback converter with two transformers that operate in forward and flyback modes during on and off times, respectively, instead of not using an output inductor. The main switch can be turned on with zero-voltage switching (ZVS) using the leakage inductance of the transformer and the output capacitor of the main switch. The leakage inductance should be increased to ZVS. However, the ringing between the leakage inductance of the transformer and the parasitic output capacitance of the secondary side rectifier switches results in a serious voltage spike. A forward-flyback converter employing auxiliary inductor and auxiliary diode is proposed to overcome the problem. The operational principles are analyzed in detail and validated through experiments with a 385 V-to-53 V/37 A prototype.

In this paper, to analyze efficiency characteristic, one of important factors in design of DC-DC converter prototype, theoretically derived power loss of individual components generating in DC-DC converter and compared theoretical results with experimental results. For evaluation of results, active clamp type Forward DC-DC converter with synchronous rectifier was composed of experimental converter. Efficiency result measured in experimental converter was compared with theoretical efficiency result derived in this paper. In comparative result, a fact that derived theoretical value and experimental value comparatively correspond have been able to verify.

This paper suggests switching regulator technique to overcome the drawback of conventional variable linear power supply. Switching regulator technique can eliminate the extremely lossy operation and reduce the size and weight of variable linear power supply and provide nearly constant output power over the majority of output voltage range. The topology of variable switched mode power supply is employed active clamp forward converter with a current doubler rectifier and by using control of variable-frequency together with control of fixed-frequency, output voltage can be controled. Equivalent circuits pertinent to each operational mode of converter are derived, and an experimental 20V, 50A converter was designed and built. The converter operates from an output voltage of zero to 25 V, under 100 kHz switching frequency.

In this paper, a modular dc-to-dc converter, in order to apply to the control board of train vehicles, is presented. Forward converter with active-clamp reset circuit and synchronous rectifier(SR) is employed to achieve high efficiency. To reduce the size and height of the converter, low profile magnetic components are used. The design and performance of the modular dc-to-dc converter with experiments on a 50W(5V/10A) prototype for the 60V$\sim$140V input voltage range are presented.

This paper describes the open frame type high power density switching converter. It is based on active clamp forward converter with synchronous rectifier, and packaged by using the open frame and multi-layer printed circuit board (PCB) techniques to achieve the high power density. Furthermore, windings of transformer and inductor are also realized by multi-layer PCB so that it achieves the higher power density. Through the experiment on the proto-type converter of 50[W], it is confirmed that power density of $50[W/in^3]$ and maximum efficiency of over 91 [%] are obtained.

We report the performance of an open-frame type low-voltage high-current DC-DC converter module developed using an active clamp forward converter circuit and single ended rectifier. The converter module is designed with the specifications of an 3.3V output voltage, 30A output current, 100W output power and 36-75V input voltage. The synchronous rectifier is used to reduce the conduction loss at high current level and constant current control using precision PCB resistance is adapted to enhance the over current protection function in the system configuration. A prototype converter module is successfully implemented within 8mm height and quarter brick size (58x37mm) and recorded an $95W/in^3$ power density, 90.6$\%$ efficiency and 0.07$\%$ voltage regulation for the entire Input voltage range, thereby demonstrating its application potentials to future telecommunication electronics.
