輸 出短路 狀態時的反馳轉換器雪崩能量檢視 Investigation of Avalanche Energy Conditions During Output Short- circuit in a Flyback Converter 作者： Allan Chiu / FAE M anager, Alpha Omega Semiconductor 1. Introduction In the design of power supplies, consideration of avalanche current behavior must be factored into the proper selection of MOSFETs. Avalanche current of the primary MOSFET may occur during switch-off during output short-circuit and high input voltage conditions. In the article, we take measurements from a 120W power supply that uses a single MOSFET, AOTF10N65, operating as the primary switch in constant frequency flyback converter. We measure its switching waveforms during output short-circuit conditions to check if the avalanche current exceeds the maximum datasheet rating value of the MOSFET. Also the avalanche power is calculated to determine if the average and peak junction temperatures are within the allowed maximum junction temperature 150℃. The total power loss is calculated including avalanche power is calculated based on the switching waveforms. The MOSFET’s thermal transient impedance is also factored to get its peak junction temperature . It is necessary to take into consideration that avalanche energy and current may bring about the failure of the MOSFET when its drain voltage exceeds its breakdown voltage under the critical condition of output short-circuit. 2.
