The forward converter is a DC/DC converter that uses a transformer to increase or

decrease the output voltage (depending on the transformer ratio) and

provide galvanic isolation for the load.
While it looks superficially like a flyback converter, it operates in a fundamentally
different way, and is generally more energy efficient.

While it looks superficially like a flyback converter, it operates in a fundamentally

different way, and is generally more energy efficient.
A flyback converter stores energy in the magnetic field in the inductor air gap
during the time the converter switching element (transistor) is conducting.
Instead, energy is passed directly to the output of the forward converter by
transformer action during the switch conduction phase.

Cuando el switch está cerrado, la energía es transferida de la fuente a

la carga a través del trasformador. El voltaje del secundario es una
onda pulsada, y la salida es analizada como si fuera de un convertidor
buck.
La energía retenida en la inductancia puede ser regresada a la fuente
vía un tercer devanado cuando el switch está abierto.

The relationship between input and output voltages can be determined by

examining the current in inductor Lx. Assuming the output is held at a constant V

The voltage across the magnetizing inductance Lm is also Vs, resulting in

Equations (7-22) and (7-23) show that the current is increasing linearly in both Lx
and Lm while the switch is closed. The current in the switch and in the physical
transformer primary is:

Switch abierto
When D3 is on, the voltage across winding 3 is established at
With v3 established, v1 and v2 become
With D1 off and positive current in Lx, D2 must be on. With D2 on, the voltage
across Lx is
 Therefore, the inductor current decreases linearly when the switch is open.
Note that the relationship between input and output voltage is similar to that for the
buck dc-dc converter except for the added term for the turns ratio. Current in Lx
must be continuous for Eq. (7-27) to be valid.
