Abstract

We have designed a hybrid dc-dc converter that includes a four-legged transformer and alternately operates as forward and flyback converters. To miniaturize dc-dc converters, it is necessary to reduce the ripple current that flows through output smoothing capacitors. A transformer applied to the hybrid dc-dc converter has a particular air-gap length that reduces the ripple current of the output smoothing capacitors during forward and flyback operations. We applied the air-gap length conditions to four-legged transformers as well as EI core transformers and experimentally obtained the output current ripple characteristics.
