transformer
2. Transistor operates in active region resulting in power loss and efficiency 30-60%
Advantages
1. Simple circuitry hence low cost
2. Do not produce large EMI

Transformer Analysis
N1i1=N2i2
Energy associated with leakage inductance is to be
absorbed by the switches
Minimize the leakage inductance by tight coupling
Minimize the magnetizing current im that flows through
the switches
In Flyback converter, Lm low, the transformer is intended
to be a two-winding inductor (isolation +energy storage)
Classification on the basis of excitation
Unidirectional
1. Flyback (buck-boost)
2. Forward (buck)
Bidirectional
1. Push – pull (buck)
2. Half bridge (buck)
3. Full bridge (buck)
Flyback converter (Buck boost)
After ton, the energy stored in the
core (Lm) cause the current to flow
in the secondary winding through
the diode D
vL = −Vo
Integral of inductor voltage over one time period is zero

For practical forward converter the transformer magnetising current must be taken into
consideration else stored energy in core may damage the converter
Switch off,
i1 = −im The transformer demagentizes in time interval tm thus

When the switch pair are off
ton < t < ton + ∆
During the interval ∆ both the switches
are OFF, the inductor current splits
equally between the two secondary Better for large power rating
