In the conventional design of a forward converter, the maximum duty cycle can be extended above 50% by using a reset and clamp technique. This technique, known as RCD clamp circuitry, consists of a ...

The ISL6726 is a highly featured single-ended PWM controller intended for applications using the active clamp forward converter topology in either n- or p-channel active clamp configurations, the ...

Milpitas, CA–DC/DC converters which use a transformer for isolation—as many of them do—have a potential problem: under large, sudden changes in output load or input voltage, the loop closure may not ...

For a PDF version of this article, click here. Power converters based on the forward topology offer high efficiency and good power-handling capability in applications up to several hundred watts. The ...

Linear Technology has a two chip synchronous forward converter chipset with active clamp reset and Direct Flux Limit, which is designed to prevent power transformer saturation under all conditions.

Prefabricated isolated DC/DC converters and modules offer a simple but relatively expensive solution to efficiently convert distribution bus voltages to isolated low voltages. However, off-the-shelf ...
