A single-switch flyback-current-fed DC-DC converter

Abstract

Abstract—This work presents a novel dc–dc converter, whose significant advantages are the single power switch, single-input inductor, purely capacitive output filter, isolation, low current ripple through the output capacitor, and operation at constant frequency in a conventional pulse-width-modulation scheme. The new converter operates over a wide input-voltage range and can be employed in power factor correction and multiple-output power supplies. Theoretical analysis is presented along with experimental results taken from a laboratory prototype rated at 300 W/50 kHz. Index Terms — DC–DC converters, flyback converters, hig
