Small Signal Modeling and Control Loop Design of Critical Conduction Mode Active Clamp Flyback Converter
IEEE Transactions on Power Electronics(2021)
Abstract
Critical conduction mode (CrCM) active clamp flyback (ACF) converter is regarded as a good candidate to be applied in high-frequency small power supplies. This article focuses on the modeling, analysis, and controller design of CrCM-ACF converter. The small signal model of the converter is derived based on a zero-input resonant equivalent circuit and extended describing function (EDF) method for the first time, then the obtained full-order model is simplified to a low-order model. This procedure establishes an insightful understanding about the effects of the converter parameters and working conditions. Based on the simplified model, a control loop compensator is designed in a single-loop voltage-feedback control scheme for high dynamic performance. An experimental prototype of digital controlled CrCM-ACF converter is built, the accuracy of the derived model is verified by comparing with experimental and simulation results. The performance of the compensator is experimentally evaluated by applying abrupt load current and reference voltage changes in the operating conditions of the converter. From the experimental results, it is demonstrated that the derived analytical model and designed compensator are effective in regulating the output voltage in CrCM-ACF converter.
