Abstract

An asymmetrical full bridge DC-to-DC converter comprises an asymmetrical full bridge circuit which includes main switches and auxiliary switches, a capacitor connected in series to the branch circuit of the auxiliary switches, and a transformer having a primary winding and a secondary winding. The primary winding of transformer is connected to the common point of each leg of the full bridge. A rectification circuit is connected at the secondary winding of the transformer to obtain dc voltage output. In operation, an asymmetrical control method is applied for these main switches and auxiliary switches. Main switches and auxiliary switches turn on and turn off compensatively. A linear control characteristic of output voltage to switching duty cycle and an optimal reset of the transformer core is achieved by this invention.
