Abstract

Isolated Current fed full-bridge converter with active clamp is analyzed in this paper. An active clamp branch is used for limiting the voltage overshoot in the bridge switches and rectifier diodes. Zero voltage switching(ZVS) is also realized by using the energy stored in the transformer leakage inductance. To analyze the converter, 6 modes of operation are introduced and investigated. For each of the modes, voltage and current equations are derived together with corresponding equivalent circuits. 200W prototype dc-dc converter is assembled and verifies the effectiveness of the analysis and simulation.
