Features: This book provides a detailed analysis and deduction of the principles of basic converters and various cascaded converters, isolated converters, bidirectional converters, and LED drivers derived from them. It discusses the selection of main components and the rationale behind the selection, the role and principles of buffer circuits, the function and design of RC-D buffer circuits and voltage transient diode clamping circuits, the energy loss of RC-D buffer circuits and voltage transient diode clamping circuits on converter efficiency, the approach to achieving passive lossless buffer circuits, the principles of several passive lossless buffer circuits, as well as their implementation and design methods. It covers the principles, circuit structures, and details of various isolated single-transistor converters, the selection and design of main components, and key debugging points. This book offers substantial help to readers in the design of various single-transistor converters and serves as an excellent guide for beginners in understanding and designing single-transistor converters. A device that converts direct current energy into the required direct or alternating current energy is typically referred to as a power converter, and its circuit topologies are diverse. Single-transistor converters are widely used due to their simple control methods, circuit designs, and high reliability.
This book provides a thorough discussion on how to understand and better design single-transistor converters. Chapter 1 elaborates on the basic knowledge and various circuits derived from basic converters. Chapter 2 focuses on the design and selection of basic circuit units. Chapter 3 addresses buffer circuit issues. Chapter 4 presents design examples of isolated converters. Chapter 5 covers the design of isolated resonant converters and active clamp converters. Chapter 6 discusses the design and application of non-isolated single-transistor converters. Chapter 7 focuses on transformer design for single-transistor converters.
The target readers of this book are primarily electrical and electronic engineers, researchers, and college students and teachers in various electrical-related fields, as well as those interested in capacitors.
