This paper presents the operational modes and the design of the active clamp flyback inverter. The auxiliary switch, clamp capacitor (Cclamp) and resonant inductor (Lr) are used in flyback inverter to minimize the spike voltage at the transformer primary side. Therefore, the voltage stress of main switch can be decreased. The active clamp circuit can also help the main switch in order to achiev...

In this paper, in order to achieve zero ripple conditions, the use of a ripple mirror (RM) circuit for the boost converter is proposed. The operation modes are studied and steady-state analyses performed to show the merits of the proposed converter. It is found that the proposed RM circuit technique can provide much better flexibility than the two-phase interleaved boost converter for locating ...

Over the past two decades plenty of resonant and quasi-resonant converters have been developed and proposed as an answer to the difficulties raised by square-wave converters, especially those related to their parasitic elements. The basic idea is to put these parasitics in use. The core of both classes of converters is a tank circuit. Unlike resonant converters, where it takes part actively in ...

Abstract. This paper proposes a novel soft-switching dual full-bridge converter with shared lagging leg and dual outputs in series. Resonant clamp circuits are employed across the secondary rectifiers to reduce the voltage overshoots of the secondary rectifiers, as well as extinguish the primary current during the freewheeling interval. Full Zero-Voltage-Switching (ZVS) range of the lagging leg...
