In this paper, the switching characteristics of the active clamp type flyback converter, which is deemed suitable for the miniaturization of the external power supply for home appliance, were analyzed and the process of reducing the switching loss was explained. The active clamp type flyback converter operating in the DCM has confirmed that the surge voltage of the main switch does not occur and the turn-off / on loss of the switch do not occur in principle. Also, in the case of the switch for synchronous rectifier, it was showed that the switch current showed half-wave rectified sinusoidal characteristic, and the switching loss was reduced. The switching characteristics of the experimental results gathered from 120 W class prototype were compared with the theoretical waveform in the steady-state and it was confirmed that the power conversion efficiency of the active clamp type flyback converter was maintained high due to the reduction of the switching loss.

In this paper, a bridgeless flyback power factor correction (PFC) rectifier which uses single magnetic core is proposed. The proposed PFC rectifiers utilize bidirectional switch to handle both positive and negative input voltage without bridge diodes. A transformer with dual output windings enables the rectifier dispense with any additional magnetic component. The operation of the proposed flyback PFC rectifier is analyzed, and its higher efficiency than its conventional counterpart is verified by experiment.

This paper presents a new voltage/current mixed method for driving synchronous rectifiers (SR) adapted to the flyback topology. The synchronous rectifier driven by the proposed voltage/current mixed method can operate at a wide load range with high efficiency. The gate voltage of MOSFET in the synchronous rectifier can be easily controlled by changing the ratio of resistors, irrespective of a line and load fluctuation. A 200W (12V/17A) prototype converter was built and an efficiency of 93% was measured at 10A load current.

A single-stage single-switch flyback converter with synchronous rectifier is proposed. The proposed single-stage single-switch technique meets the IEC 61000-3-2 harmonic requirements. The proposed SR is the voltage driven synchronous rectifier (VDSR) which operates depending on the voltage drop across the drain and source of the MOSFET. Experimental results for the 85W (12V /7.1A) proposed converter are shown.

This paper analyzed PFC of active clamp ZVS flyback converter by adding two methods PFC (power Factor Correction) circuit - two-stage and single-stage. The addition of active clamp circuit also provides a mechanism for achieving ZVS of both the primary and auxiliary switches. ZVS also limits the turn off di/dt of the output rectifier, reducing rectifier-switching loss and switching noise, due to diode reverse recovery. As a result, the proposed converters have characteristics of the reduced switching noise and high efficiency in comparison to conventional flyback converter. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed converter improve the input PF of 300W ZVS flyback converter by adding single-stage, two-stage PFC circuit.

This paper presents a high efficiency resonant asymmetrical half-bridge flyback converter. The primary half-bridge circuit of the converter operates by a soft-switching type using the asymmetrical pulse-width modulation (PWM) method with the resonant capacitance and transformer leakage inductance. The secondary flyback circuit of the proposed converter utilizes a synchronous rectifier, which operates by a new voltage-driven method with a simple drive circuit. Thus the proposed converter improves the total efficiency. This paper explains the operational principle of the proposed converter by each mode and shows the converter design consideration and a design example for the prototype converter, respectively. After that, the proposed simple driving technique of the synchronous rectifier by a voltage-driven method is explained, briefly. The designed prototype converter has wide input voltage (AC $V_{in,rms}$=75~265[V]), 5[V] DC output voltage, and 100[W] output power. To verify the excellent performance of the proposed converter, the designed prototype is implemented and experimented. The good performance of the proposed converter is shown through the experimental results.

소비자의 요구와 기술력의 발달로 PDP시장은 42인치와 60인치등 대형PDP가 주류를 이루고 있으며 대형화에 따라서 PDP전원의 소모전력 또한 $400W{\sim}600W$ 까지 증가 하고 있다. 기존 소용량 PDP전원으로 사용되던 Flyback의 경우 소모 전력이 증가함에 따라 대형PDP에 적용하기에는 소자 내압 및 시스템 효율 측면에서 다소 무리가 있다. 따라서 대형PDP의 전원을 위해서 새로운 2 Switch 3 Diode를 채용한 고효율 DCR (Diode Clamping Rectifier) Flyback Converter를 제안하였으며 이를 42인치 PDP에 적용하여 회로의 타당성 및 우수성을 검증하였다.
