Introduction

■ 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. With
multiple output windings, it is
possible to provide both higher and
lower voltage outputs simultaneously.
■ We made a Switch Board Power
Supply with Forward Converter.
Components
Circuit Diagram
Operation
■ Mode-1 when switch S is turned ON. This connects the input voltage, Edc, to the
primary winding.
■ Both primary and secondary windings start conducting simultaneously.
■ The primary and secondary current related to transformer turn ratio.

Applications
■ It is used in Solar Power System
■ Personal Computer
■ It is used for producing isolated and controlled dc voltage from the unregulated dc input
supply.
■ It is generally more energy efficient and is used for applications requiring little higher
power output (in the range of 100 watts to 200 watts).
Comparison with other converter
■ Better transformer utilization
■ Filtered output.
■ Better isolation between input and output
■ It is generally more energy efficient as compared to flyback.
■ It is used for applications requiring little higher power output (in the range of 100
watts to 200 watts).
■ The output filtering circuit is not as simple as in the fly-back converter.
■ The switching frequency may thus be in the range of 100 kHz or more.
