TUTORIAL 4 ISOLATED DC-DC CONVERTER

Flyback Converter
1. A flyback converter has parameters Vs = 36 V, D = 0.4, N1/N2 = 2, R = 20 Ω, Lm =100 µH and
C = 50 µF, and the switching frequency is 100 kHz. Determine (a) the output voltage; the average,
maximum and minimum inductor current; and (c) the output voltage ripple.
2. A flyback converter has an input of 44 V, an output of 3 V, a duty ratio of 0.32 and switching
frequency of 300 kHz. The load is 1 Ω. (a) Determine the transformer turns ratio. (b) Determine
the transformer magnetizing inductance such that the minimum inductor current is 40% of the
average.
3. Design a flyback converter for an input of 24 V and output of 40 W at 40V. Specify the
transformer turns and magnetizing inductance, switching frequency and capacitor to limit the
ripple voltage less than 0.5%.

Push-pull Converter
4. A push-pull converter has the following parameters: Vs = 50 V, Np/Ns = 2, R = 8 Ω, Lx =60 µH
and C = 39 µF, f = 150 kHz and D = 0.35. Determine (a) the output voltage, the maximum and
minimum inductor currents and (c) the output voltage ripple.
