Design a feedback loop compensator for a flyback converter in four steps

Due to their versatility, ease of design, and low cost, flyback converters have become one of the most widely used topologies in power electronics. Its structure derives from one of the three basic topologies—specifically, buck-boost topology. However, unlike buck-boost converters, flyback topologies allow the voltage output to be electrically isolated from the input power supply….

Power Tips #139: How to simplify AC/DC flyback design with a self-biased converter

Introduction The demand for smaller, lighter, and more efficient AC/DC USB power delivery (PD) chargers is always a challenge for power-supply design engineers. Below 100 W, the quasi-resonant flyback is still the dominating topology, and gallium nitride (GaN) technology can push the power density and efficiency further. However, providing bias power for the primary controller…
