Primary-Side Peak Current Measurement Strategy for High-Precision Constant Output Current Control

A novel digital constant output current controller with demagnetization-time compensation for flyback converter is proposed in this paper. The secondary winding demagnetization time [Formula: see text] is sampled from the comparison module output signal by output voltage sampling state machine. The ratio between [Formula: see text] and switching period [Formula: see text] is kept constant by bidirectional counter module to achieve constant output current based on invariable primary-side peak-current. Meanwhile, demagnetization-time compensation is proposed in order to enhance load regulation ratio. The compensation [Formula: see text] acquired from a look-up table, is utilized to compensate the impacts caused by the delay [Formula: see text] from the process of sampling the signal of [Formula: see text]. The digital controller (DC) is implemented by hardware description language Verilog HDL. Experimental results of the proposed 2A constant current output flyback converter based on FPGA(EP2C8Q208C8N) indicate that the constant current precision is within [Formula: see text]1% in a wide range of universal-input AC voltage from 110[Formula: see text]V to 240[Formula: see text]V and the voltage load range between 2[Formula: see text]V and 8[Formula: see text]V.

Numerical Approaches

In this paper, constant-frequency peak-current control is analyzed focusing on the operation above the subharmonic threshold limit. The analysis is performed by mixing analytical and numerical approaches. Two levels of normalization are introduced: on the converter level and on the switching cell level, resulting in unified analysis regardless of the converter type. A function that maps the inductor current value at the beginning of a switching period to its value at the end of the switching period is derived. The analysis is performed by iterating this mapping, leading to information of the inductor current periodicity and the switching cell averaged output current. It is shown that before reaching chaotic state a converter passes through a sequence of bifurcations involving discontinuous conduction modes characterized by higher order periodicity. Boundaries of the region where the higher order discontinuous conduction modes occur are derived. Obtained dependence of the switching cell output current average on the operating parameters is used to derive a small signal model. The model parameters expose huge variations in the areas of deep subharmonic operation. The results are experimentally verified.
