A DC current transformer for large bandwidth and high common-mode rejection
1999
A review of known magnetic-coupled current-sensing techniques is presented, Subsequently, a novel technique is introduced, based on a configuration discussed in a previous paper. The previous technique made use of a galvanomagnetic device (Hall effect sensor) to sense the magnetization of a current transformer core, so that the sum of the Hall voltage and the voltage across the secondary shunt resistor would yield a faithful copy of the input current. The technique described in this paper makes use of the same principle to obtain a high bandwidth (from DC to 1 MHz) and very high common-mode rejection current transformer, without the need for a Hall effect probe. This is achieved by subtract…
An improved Flyback converter
2009
This paper presents a modified Flyback converter able to operate with higher efficiency and smaller size, overcoming most of the conventional flyback converter drawbacks, and also keeping its low cost and simplicity. In particular, the proposed converter allows the mosfet off voltage to be reduced and clamped to the input, thus recovering the transformer leakage energy. As a consequence, the duty cycle can be extended to unity, thus reducing the voltage stress across the output rectifier, and lowering both the magnetizing inductance and the transformer bias current values. In addition, due to the auxiliary mosfet, the magnetizing current can become negative, eliminating the discontinuous co…
Magnetic potential of transformer window
1996
We describe how to calculate the magnetic potential in the window of an ideal transformer. The knowledge of this potential is a starting point for the determination of some other quantities of practical importance (such as leakage field, overheating of windings, circular currents, additional losses, short circuit forces in windings, etc.).
A lossless current sensing technique for flyback converters
2009
Regardless of the feedback control, almost all converters require input or output current sense for overcurrent protection. If a current mode control is implemented, high accuracy is also required. The optimal current sensing method shows the highest accuracy and the lowest power dissipation. In this paper, a lossless and accurate current sensing technique for Flyback converters is proposed. An RC network is parallel connected with the primary MOSFET and the voltage signal across the sense capacitor accurately reproduces the magnetizing current waveform. The RC technique benefits from all the advantages of the most common current sensing techniques currently applied to Flyback converters, a…
