ADVANCE INFORMATION
The transformer turns ratio is limited by the primary GaN HEMT max. drain-source voltage (VDS) rating and determines the secondary SR FET voltage rating and switching losses. The turns ratio is chosen as 6 for this design to reduce the snubber losses and improve efficiency. The UCG28826 supports turns ratio in the range from 6 to 7.875 for 20V output.
The transformer primary inductance determines the switching frequency through the range of flyback converter operation using UCG28826. For this design, the switching frequency is assumed at half of the maximum limit of 140kHz, which is 70kHz at low line input 90VAC. At this input voltage and full load 65W, the converter operates in 1st valley QR mode and the demagnetisation ringing duration is ignored to give duty cycle:
where turns ratio N is given by,
From Equation 3 and Equation 4, the primary inductance is given by,
Based on turns ratio equal to 6, the secondary SR FET voltage and current rating are calculated using Equation 6 and Equation 7 respectively. With 25% margin, use an SR FET of at least 100V/24A rating.
