The isolated current regulated DC-
DC converter is composed of the step down switch SA, free wheel
diode DA, step down
inductor L, switches S1 and S2,
capacitor Cc to absorb the
leakage energy of the switching
transformer, output diodes D3 and D4, output
filter capacitor C and the switching
transformer T; one terminal of the step down
inductor L is connected with the step down switch SA and free wheel
diode DA, and other terminal of the step down
inductor L is connected with one of primary windings of the switching
transformer and switch S1 or S2; two primary windings of the switching transformer are respectively connected with switches S1 and S2 in series; two primary winding and switch S1 or S2 branches are paralleled and respectively connected with the free wheel
diode DA and the step down inductor L; the free wheel diode DA is series with the step down switch SA and they connect with the input
voltage Vin; the
capacitor Cc to absorb the
leakage energy of the switching transformer is respectively connected with switches S1 and S2; the
full wave rectifier is composed of two secondary windings and output diodes D3, D4; the output
capacitor C is paralleled with the output load. The converter has the same
voltage and current stress and dynamic regulation as one of regular step down DC-
DC converter. It also has function to isolate the input and the output with the switching transformer. In practical application, due to the freedom of the switching transformer's turns-ratio, it is possible to make the isolated current regulated DC-
DC converter to operate in much better condition than one for the regular step down DC-DC converter and to have higher efficiency.
