Abstract

The active clamp flyback (ACF) converter is gradually becoming popular in the application field of low or medium output power range due to its advantage of soft switching and high conversion efficiency. An asymmetric half-bridge (AHB) flyback converter has been proposed in previous studies. The main advantages of the AHB flyback are the same number of components as the ACF converter and the soft switching technique. In this paper, an AHB flyback converter with constant off-time (COT) plus pulse frequency modulation (PFM) is proposed, so that the resonant time is not affected by the input voltage and load, and can achieve a wide range of zero voltage switching (ZVS) operating range. Compared to pulse width modulation (PWM), the PFM control with COT can make the system more stable. Finally, a prototype circuit with a specification input of 48 V to an output of 2.5 V/8 A is made for verification.
