2、Buck

characteristic
■ Reduce the input to a lower voltage.
■ Probably the simplest circuit.
■ The inductor/capacitor filter smoothes the square wave after switching.
■ The output is always less than or equal to the input.
■ The input current is discontinuous (chopping).
■ Smooth output current.

3、Boost

characteristic
■ Raise the input to a higher voltage.
■ Same as step-down, but the inductors, switches and diodes are rearranged.
■ The output ratio is always greater than or equal to the input (ignoring the forward voltage drop of diode).
■ Smooth input current.
■ Discontinuous output current (chopping).

4、Buck-Boost

0d901ecc5b5e65d7190c166233c86621

characteristic
■ Another arrangement method of inductors, switches and diodes.
■ Combines the disadvantages of buck and boost circuits.
■ The input current is discontinuous (chopping).
■ The output current is also discontinuous (chopping).
■ The output is always opposite to the input (note the polarity of the capacitor), but the amplitude can be smaller or larger than the input.
■ "Flyback" converter is actually in the form of buck-boost circuit isolation (transformer coupling).

5、Flyback

9482bab91e7ca6861bc3b12b7b02b1c7

characteristic
■ It works like a buck-boost circuit, but the inductor has two windings and serves as both a transformer and an inductor.
■ The output can be positive or negative, determined by the polarity of the coil and diode.
■ The output voltage can be larger or smaller than the input voltage, which is determined by the turns ratio of the transformer.
■ This is the simplest isolated topology.
■ Multiple outputs can be obtained by adding secondary windings and circuits.

6、Forward

8bf2bea10fca353b3bf4d339c9c0f9bc

characteristic
■ Transformer coupling form of step-down circuit.
■ Discontinuous input current and smooth output current.
■ Because the transformer is used, the output can be larger or smaller than the input, and it can be of any polarity.
■ Multiple outputs can be obtained by adding secondary windings and circuits.
■ The transformer core must be demagnetized in each switching cycle. The common practice is to add a winding with the same number of turns as the primary winding.
■ The energy stored in the primary inductor during the switch-on phase is released through additional windings and diodes during the switch-off phase.

7、Two-Transistor Forward

characteristic
■ Two switches work at the same time.
■ When the switch is off, the energy stored in the transformer reverses the polarity of the primary and turns on the diode.
■ Main advantages
■ The voltage on each switch will never exceed the input voltage.
■ There is no need to reset the winding track.

8、Push-Pull

8822c0b5bb979f69aac8659be5e4c79c

characteristic
■ Switch (FET) drives different phases and performs pulse width modulation (PWM) to adjust the output voltage.
■ Good utilization ratio of transformer core-power transmission in both half cycles.
■ Full-wave topology, so the output ripple frequency is twice that of the transformer.
■ The voltage applied to the FET is twice the input voltage.

9、Half-Bridge

characteristic
■ Topology structure of higher power converter is very commonly used.
■ Switch (FET) drives different phases and performs pulse width modulation (PWM) to adjust the output voltage.
■ Good utilization ratio of transformer core-power transmission in both half cycles. And the utilization ratio of primary winding is better than that of push-pull circuit.
■ Full-wave topology, so the output ripple frequency is twice that of the transformer.
■ The voltage applied to the FET is equal to the input voltage.

10、Full-Bridge

6961a0a058af6eaf25faa2bd5b7cdbfa

characteristic
■ The most commonly used topology of higher power converters.
■ Switches (FETs) are driven in the form of diagonal pairs, and pulse width modulation (PWM) is performed to regulate the output voltage.
■ Good utilization ratio of transformer core-power transmission in both half cycles.
■ Full-wave topology, so the output ripple frequency is twice that of the transformer.
■ The voltage applied to FETs is equal to the input voltage.
■ At a given power, the primary current is half of the half bridge.

characteristic
■ The output voltage can be greater or less than the input voltage.
■ Like the boost circuit, the input current is smooth, but the output current is discontinuous.
■ Energy is transferred from the input to the output through a capacitor.
■ Two inductors are required.

Continuous conduction
Critical conductivity
Discontinuous conduction
■ Boost regulator (continuous conduction)
■ Transformer operation
■ Flyback transformer
■ Forward transformer

14、Buck-降压调整器-连续导电

a30b2e583415307721e279043a4d1666

■ Inductor current is continuous.
■Vout is the average value of its input voltage (V1).
■ The output voltage is the input voltage multiplied by the load ratio (D) of the switch.
■ When switched on, the inductor current flows out of the battery.
■ Current flows through the diode when the switch is off.
■ Ignore the losses in switches and inductors, and D has nothing to do with the load current.
■ The buck regulator and its derivative circuits are characterized by:The input current is discontinuous (chopping) and the output current is continuous (smoothing).

15、Buck- buck regulator-critical conduction

f0d93fff65a0cdca81c43f852cad8b74

■ The inductor current is still continuous, but "reaches" zero when the switch is turned on again.This is called "critical conduction".The output voltage is still equal to the input voltage multiplied by d.

16、Buck- buck regulator-discontinuous conduction

d74e6ef04754a00dee8361a6400090a0

■ In this case, the current in the inductor is zero for a period of time in each cycle.
■ The output voltage is still (always) the average value of v1.
■ The output voltage is not the input voltage multiplied by the load ratio (D) of the switch.
■ When the load current is lower than the critical value, D changes with the load current (while Vout remains the same)

17、Boost regulator

fdbeae0d7163e7dc529bc070f20d6470

■ The output voltage is always greater than (or equal to) the input voltage.
■ Continuous input current and discontinuous output current (opposite to buck regulator).
■ The relationship between output voltage and load ratio (D) is not as simple as in buck regulators. In the case of continuous conduction:

e1653080aa910772c16aa662c6ce3a76

In this example, Vin = 5, Vout = 15, and D = 2/3. Vout = 15，D = 2/3.

18、Operation of transformer (including the function of primary inductor)

a0da56482c054afbd9b3bd13568c8c1b

■ Transformer is regarded as an ideal transformer, and its primary (magnetization) inductance is connected in parallel with the primary.

19、Flyback transformer

4fdf679f40bcf03db194a0383c1c7c11

■ Here, the primary inductance is very low, which is used to determine the peak current and stored energy. When the primary switch is turned off, energy is transferred to the secondary.

20、Forward converter transformer

a34d8cb589ab6ccf5654b6f338d8a891

■ The primary inductance is high because there is no need to store energy.
■ The magnetizing current (i1) flows into the "magnetizing inductor" to demagnetize the magnetic core (reverse voltage) after the primary switch is turned off.

21、summary
■ Here, the most common circuit topology in switching power conversion is reviewed.
■ There are many other topologies, but most of them are combinations or variations of the topologies described here.
■ Each topology contains unique design tradeoffs:The voltage applied to the switchAnd chopping and smoothing the input and output current.Utilization ratio of winding
■ Choosing the best topology requires research:And input and output voltage ranges.

And the ratio of cost to performance, size and weight.
