In this paper, a high-efficiency double-ended active clamp ZVS forward converter is proposed. This converter can be used in compact size AC/DC converter applications such as a notebook adapter. The principles of operation are described and the zero voltage switching characteristics are analyzed. High efficiency of this converter is verified by the experimental results.

Multiple output converters (MOCs) are widely used for applications which require various kinds of the output voltages due to its advantages in cost, volume, and efficiency. However, most of the MOCs developed so far can regulate only one output tightly and require as many secondary windings in the transformer as the number of the outputs. In this paper, a novel Time Division Multiple Control (TDMC) method to regulate all the outputs in high precision is proposed and applied to the double ended forward converter for the multiple battery charger. Additional benefit of the proposed topology is to require only one secondary winding in the transformer for all the outputs. The proposed converter can charge two different kinds of batteries or same kind of batteries in different state of charges (SOCs) by CC/CV mode independently with the even degree of tight regulation, thereby satisfying the ripple requirements for each battery.

This paper presents generalized small-signal models for complementary driven double-ended isolated converters. The proposed small-signal models include the effect of the parasitic resistances, which have dominant influence on the damping of the secondary Power stage double-pole. To confirm the validity of the new models, an asymmetrical half-bridge converter with confer-taped rectifier and a forward-flyback converter with current doubler rectifier were built, and their performance were compared with the theoretical prediction.

This paper presents generalized small-signal models for asymmetrically-driven double-ended dc-to-dc converters. The proposed small-signal models include the effects of the parasitic resistances, which have dominant influence on the damping of the secondary power stage double-pole. To confirm the validity of new models, an asymmetrical half-bridge converter with center-taped rectifier and a forward-flyback converter with current doubler rectifier were built, and their performances were compared with the theoretical predictions.

This paper proposes a DC-DC converter which is able to charge and discharge secondary batteries. The converter operates as a double-ended forward converter in charging process and as electrical isolated boost converter in discharging process. The converter is designed for continuous current operation. The switching frequency is selected as 100kHz to reduce the size of both the inductor and the capacitor.

엑티브 클램프 포워드 컨버터는 고효율, 간단한 구조의 특징으로 PC 파워 시스템, 서버 파워 시스템과 같은 어플리케이션에 많이 사용 되고 있다. 특히 더블 앤디드 엑티브 클램프 포워드 컨버터는 작은 출력 필터와 고효율의 장점이 있으나, 변압기 오프셋 전류로 인해 변압기의 크기와 코어 손실이 증가하게 된다. 본 논문에서는 새로운 게이트 신호 조정을 통해 낮은 변압기 오프셋 전류를 갖는 새로운 더블 앤디드 엑티브 클램프 포워드 컨버터를 제안한다. 따라서 변압기의 크기와 코어 손실, 1차측과 출력 인덕터의 전력손실이 감소함으로써 높은 전력밀도와 고효율을 달성하게 된다.
