Abstract
This paper presents a complex type common-source active clamp converter. By adding a second winding to the transformer, and using two active-clamp switches connected in common-source type, the switching loss and switching noise can be reduced by means of the soft switching techniques. Furthermore, the complex type common source active clamp converter is constructed with the connection of a main switch to the boost inductor, can achieve corresponding to wide input range. The operation and characteristic of complex type common-source active converter is introduced.
