Design of the Controller for PCMC Forward Converters

Abstract:

The work characteristics of forward converters are described. Presented the theoretical and practical details by means of the state space averaging method, the small signal model of forward converters under peak current mode controlled is constructed. The design of the controller is given to be used in this converter with the maximum control bandwidth of 10 kHz as well as an adequate phase margin. A closed loop simulink model for the converter is constructed on Matlab and the stability and dynamical performance demonstrated. The theoretical predictions of this paper are supported by computer simulations graphically represented and analyzed as practical evidences. Simulation results show the feasibility of the design, thus providing a solution seamless implemented the applications of peak current mode controlled forward converters.
