Abstract :
The purpose of this paper is to provide a general comparison between primary-side control and secondary-side control from the perspectives of industrial designs. Definitions and comparisons between the two controls are given, and a small-signal model of active clamp forward topology is developed. Finally, experimental results are presented, with which theoretical analysis and predication are verified.
