Analysis and design of a practical discontinuous-conduction-mode BIFRED converter
1999
Impending international standards on harmonic current levels drawn by single-phase mains-operated equipment have created a need for low-cost off-line power-factor-corrected switched-mode power supply topologies in the power range up to a few hundred watts. The boost integrated/flyback rectifier/energy storage/DC-DC converter (BIFRED) is one such topology which shows promise in this regard. In particular, the discontinuous-conduction-mode (DCM) BIFRED avoids the light-load high-voltage stress problem associated with the continuous-conduction-mode design, while still achieving the combined advantages of a low-cost single-stage topology with high displacement factor and low total harmonic distortion. In this paper, a practical DCM BIFRED converter with integrated low-loss snubber is investigated from both power and small-signal control perspectives. Design equations are given to ensure DCM operation under closed-loop output voltage control, in which switch duty cycle is varying. Experimental results on a prototype converter are also presented.
