Modeling and Experimental Validation of Dual-Output Flyback Converters with Capacitive Coupling for Improved Cross-Regulation

Year: 2024

Type: article

Abstract: This paper addresses cross-regulation in dual-output flyback converters. An original analytical framework is developed to model the impact of a balancing capacitor connected among a transformer’s secondary windings in order to mitigate the cross-regulation among different outputs. To validate the proposed model, a prototype dual-output flyback converter was built and tested for a wide range of load unbalances. The measured cross-regulation error was compared with the theoretical predictions provided by the proposed model, obtaining a tight fit, which confirms the validity of the proposed approach.
