Abstract :
A detailed, in depth analysis of the RCD clamped forward converter is performed. Parameters that affect the clamp voltage are examined and the critical parameters are identified. The analysis concentrates on the clamp voltage and the parameters that affect it. A mathematical solution for the clamp voltage is presented and compared to experimental results from a 24 W converter
