Abstract

This paper proposes an interleaved flyback converter, which is remarked with zero-voltage-switched active switches and reduced reverse-recovery loss on the rectifying diodes. The converter is composed of two parallel-operated identical flyback converters and an auxiliary inductor shunted between the diodes. This converter can provide up to 500 W power with highest efficiency as high as 91%. In addition, burst-mode control is equipped to drive the converter at low load. Even at 50-W output, the efficiency is higher than 83%.
