Active-clamped flyback converter, Power Saving, ZVS.
This paper deals with power saving technique for the active-clamped flyback converter on no-load. Because of ZVS, the converter has high efficiency and represents low EMI characteristics. However, the ZVS operation leads to power loss under no-load condition. It is caused by conduction current through parasitic elements. To reduce conduction loss under no-load, the converter turns off the auxiliary switch and operates only flyback mode. A scheme of power saving at no-load is represented and verified through experimental results for 60W sample.
