Disclosed is an active clamping forward
switching power supply circuit. On the basis of an LCL
forward converter, the N<P1> dotted terminal of a
transformer B is connected with a power supply, and the N<P2> dotted terminal is grounded; the N<P1> and N<P2> are in double-wire parallel winding; one end of a
capacitor C1 is connected with the non-dotted terminal of the N<P1> while the other end is connected with the non-dotted terminal of the N<P2>; the dotted terminal of the N<P2> and a clamping network 400 which is connected with a C3 in series are connected with the power supply through a
field effect transistor Q2, so that the conditions are realized as follows: when a Q1 is in a saturation switch-on state, N<P1> and N<P2> both can be excited, and a
secondary side NS outputs energy; when the Q1 is switched off, an L1 outputs
energy based on follow current, a D2 is synchronously switched off, the energy generated by exciting is clamped through the N<P2> via 400, the primary side is in an inductive state, the Q2 is switched on, the C3 and the primary side
inductor are in
resonance, and zero-
voltage switching on of the Q1 is realized; in a
light load state, the Q2 is switched on after several periods, and during the period, the end
voltage of the C3 is increased in a step manner; when the Q2 is re-switched-on, the C3 and the primary side
inductor are in
resonance, and the zero-
voltage switching on of the Q1 is realized, so that
power consumption in driving the Q2 in the
light load state is lowered; and consequently, the duty ratio can be greater than 0.5, demagnetized
energy recycling can be realized, and the efficiency is improved in the
light load state.
