Design and Analysis on Reduced Switching Frequency Current Mode Control Isolated Power Converters for Light Load Efficiency Yu Ruiyang M.H. Pong University of Hong Kong Senior Member, IEEE Department of EEE, University of Hong Kong yry721@eee.hku.hk Department of EEE, mhp@eee.hku.hk Abstract – This paper focus on improving light load efficiency of isolated DC/DC converters. A mixed signal control platform is proposed to implement multiple-mode variable frequency control. An 8-bit Micro Controller Unit MCU is used in the platform to provide adaptive control schemes and cost effectiveness digital solutions. Small signal analysis is covered to explain frequency modulation effects. Control of isolation transformer flux swing to avoid saturation is also implemented, to provide safe operation both in steady and transient states. A 300 Watt prototype Two-FET forward converter is built up to verify the proposed mixed signal control platform.

INTRODUCTION Most of electronic devices operate at light load conditions for most of the time, for example, printers, adapters, LCD TVs and desktop PCs. Thus, light load efficiency becomes a major concern in switch mode power supply design stage.
