1 - 1 of 1 Resources. Switching Inductive Loads with Flyback Diode This video is about the switching of inductive loads with a transistor and a flyback diode, and why in. This Design Idea shows a way to drive low-power electronic circuits using a single 1.5V cell. The design is based on a free-running oscillator that drives a flyback transformer to generate a controllable higher voltage. It can be used to power analog circuitry, microcontrollers, and any other light loads. Circuit Design by R O Ocaya.

In this article we ‘ll see how to find the output power stage transfer function H(s), called the Control-to-Output function, of the most switching power supplies: BUCK, BOOST, BUCK-BOOST, HALF-BRIDGE, FULL BRIDGE, both in voltage mode control and current mode control. In spite of the complexity of the different types of power supplies that use one or more output feedback, the output power transfer function H(s), can be reduced to a few schematic categories of general validity. We’ ll see when it’s the case to consider the effects of the RHPZ, the Right Half Plane Zero, and what it means in practical terms.
Once the components for the specific power supply have been sized, we can estimate with good approximation the transfer function which describes mathematically the output power stage. As seen in the article about the determination of POLES and ZEROS by inspection, we ‘ll identify immediately the POLES and ZEROS which characterize the different switching categories. We ‘ll draw the Bode plots of these functions with PSpice, and, according to their characteristics, we ‘ll choose the most suitable compensator G(s), implementing the compensation network with the operational amplifiers embedded in the microcontrollers. The SPICE simulation of the open loop transfer function G(s)*H(s), will allows us to evaluate the results for the system stability. Finally, we ‘ll apply this method in two real switching power supply: a low power flyback converter and an off-line, half-bridge switching. This method allows us to speed up the design of the compensator G(s) in the prototyping phase before the physical measurement with the instrumentation.
It’s strongly recommended the reading of these articles:
