Cultivating power converter talents on campus through the design methodology of flyback converter

Abstract

In order to cultivate talents and raise the design ability for power converters at engineering education on campus, the design methodology of a flyback dc/dc converter is introduced step by step in this paper. First of all, the fundamental of switching power converters is analyzed and described in this paper. Later, the power converter is modeled and simulated. The open and closed loop controls of the power converter are then compared each other. Finally, a power converter is realized and implemented based on the simulation results. Following the procedure of design methodology in sequence, it can predict that students can obtain the basic design skill of a power dc/dc converter from the college education. Though only the design methodology of the flyback converter is considered in this paper, it can be extended to any type of the dc/dc converter design.
