Abstract
A flyback converter system is provided. The flyback converter system includes a transformer system having a magnetic core. The flyback converter system further includes a flyback converter circuitry having a primary circuitry and a secondary circuitry, where the flyback converter circuitry is electrically coupled to the transformer system, and where the flyback converter circuitry is configured to recycle energy from a leakage flux via the primary circuitry and to transfer the energy to the secondary circuitry.
Claims17
A flyback converter system comprising:
- a transformer system having a magnetic core;
- and
- a flyback converter circuitry having a primary circuitry and a secondary circuitry,
- wherein the flyback converter circuitry is electrically coupled to the transformer system,
- wherein the flyback converter circuitry is configured to recycle energy from a leakage flux via the primary circuitry and to transfer the energy to the secondary circuitry, and
- wherein the magnetic core comprises a first magnetic core portion and a second magnetic core portion stacked in a vertical configuration, and wherein each of the first magnetic core portion and the second magnetic core portion has a circumference spanning less than 360 degrees, such that an air gap is formed in the magnetic core.
A method for manufacturing a flyback converter system, comprising:
- manufacturing a transformer system having a magnetic core;
- and
- manufacturing a flyback converter circuitry having a primary circuitry and a secondary circuitry,
