Intro Active Clamp Forward Converter

Ғылым және технология

This video is about Intro Active Clamp Forward Converter. I present the Forward Mode Converter, and explain why the Active Clamp Forward Converter is an improvement.
The follow up video I'll test it and show waveforms to better help show how the Active Clamp Forward Converter works.

    Nice presentation. Have designed and produced Active clamp converters many years ago. It's a good topology, beside other good alternatives. Best Regards

    Hi, thanks a lot for your tutorial. I am working on designing an active clamp forward converter as my BS.c project. it was useful for me. good luck

    Hi eddie! I've been toying with the idea of building a tube testing rig for a couple of years now. I don't fancy doing it with a bulky transformer though...maybe the dc/dc converter route will hit the spot. I've been off-line for a bit and am catching up on your postings :) Be well and thank you for posting! :)

    Hey man! Love your videos and how you explain things so clearly! Could you please consider making a vid on how to build a basic soft starter for power tools plugged into the mains? Other vids on soft starters / speed controllers are too confusing and I don't want to fry myself lol

    ​@@KissAnalog Awesome!!! Would be great to know how to this could interact with a speed controller and work with 240v! I'm after an easy (crude) solution where accessing the switch will be convenient when holding the tool(s). Any ideas? Building a circuit into the tool itself wouldn't be possible, but maybe at the start of the cord? Or ahead of some distribution board multiple tools can plug into, and use tool's normal switch?

    You could Charge individual Cells in a Series String of cells using that. Say like a Balancing system.

    Great video! :-) Very interesting, can see I have some more of yours to look trough, yeah! When you did explain on the white board could it maybe great if you zoomed in so you and the white board filled the screen some more, just to make it bigger. By the way, it looks like your blend opening on your camera is too big, your depth of field is super narrow. I would recommend adjusting the bend to a bigger value, it may darken your picture a bit but if you adjust the white balance by pointing it at your white wall, it should get nearly perfect. Thanks for sharing! :-)

    Awesome awesome channel. I played around implementing a forward converter. Just driven with a sig-gen, it's amazing how it adjusts to load, even without primary-side current-mode regulation of duty cycle. super tendancy for stability. Eliminating the third winding also opens up the design up to more commercial off-the-shelf transformers/coupled inductors which is a great simplification. I get stuck trying to implement snubber networks, and knowing how to choose RCD values, so was searching, trying to understand active clamps and found your video. I think these are the links, UCC2897A www.ti.com/lit/ds/symlink/ucc2897a.pdf PMP22509 www.ti.com/lit/ug/tidt189/tidt189.pdf WA8515 www.coilcraft.com/getmedia/0b4f08d1-afae-4cfe-aa97-e1632b179ce0/WA8515.pdf Really interested to see how the p-chan VGS is driven negative. Maybe an upside down bootstrap circuit.

    Thanks Julian - I really appreciate the feedback! I do like how this design simplifies the magnetic design and also removes the need for the snubber on the main FET;) I need to get back to this converter and eventually show an actual design.
