Abstract
A single-stage input-current-shaping (S2ICS) flyback converter achieves substantially reduced conduction losses in the primary side of the S2ICS flyback converter by connecting a bypass diode between the positive terminal of a full-bridge rectifier and the positive terminal of an energy-storage capacitor. An effective current interleaving between an energy-storage inductor and the bypass diode is thus obtained in the S2ICS flyback converter around the peak of the rectified line voltage, resulting in a significantly reduced input-current ripple and reduced current stress on the switch. Further, by rearranging the rectifiers in the ICS part of the S2ICS flyback converter in such a way that the energy-storage capacitor and the ICS inductor are connected to the ac line voltage through only two rectifiers, one diode forward-voltage drop is eliminated, which results in a substantially reduced conduction loss in the primary-side rectifiers.
