SMPSRMThe Flyback–Mode ConverterThe basic flyback–mode converter uses the samecomponents as the basic forward–mode converter, but ina different configuration. Consequently, it operates in adifferent fashion from the forward–mode converter. Themost elementary flyback–mode converter, the boost orstep–up converter, is shown in Figure 2.LDC outV inIonSWI offI loadR loadV inSWITCH VOLTAGE(VOLTS)<strong>Power</strong>SwitchONV satDiodeONV flbk(V out )<strong>Power</strong>SwitchONDiodeON<strong>Power</strong>SwitchONTIMEINDUCTOR CURRENT(AMPS)I pkI loadTIMEFigure 2. A Basic Boost–Mode Converter and Waveforms (Boost Converter Shown)Again, its operation is best understood by considering the“on” and “off” periods separately. When the powerswitch is turned on, the inductor is connected directlyacross the input voltage source. The inductor current thenrises from zero and is given by:iL(on) V int t L0on (eq. 4)Energy is stored within the flux in the core of the inductor.The peak current, i pk , occurs at the instant the powerswitch is turned off and is given by:ipk V in ton(eq. 5)LWhen the power switch turns off, the switched side ofthe inductor wants to fly–up in voltage, but is clamped bythe output rectifier when its voltage exceeds the outputvoltage. The energy within the core of the inductor is thenpassed to the output capacitor. The inductor currentduring the off period has a negative ramp whose slope isgiven by:iL(off) (V in Vout)L(eq. 6)The energy is then completely emptied into the outputcapacitor and the switched terminal of the inductor fallsback to the level of the input voltage. Some ringing isevident during this time due to residual energy flowingthrough parasitic elements such as the stray inductancesand capacitances in the circuit.http://onsemi.com7
