PRODUCTION DATA.
Determine the minimum voltage on the input capacitance, CB1 and CB2 total, in order to determine the maximum Np to Ns turns ratio of the transformer. The input power of the converter based on target full-load efficiency, minimum input rms voltage, and minimum AC input frequency are used to determine the input capacitance requirement.
Maximum input power is determined based on VOCV, load current over load IOVL= IOCC, and the full-load efficiency target. An initial estimate of efficiency can be assumed for full-load efficiency, for example 89% for a converter of rated power 48 W and output voltage 24 V.
Equation 9 provides an accurate solution for input capacitance based on a target minimum bulk capacitor voltage. To target a given input capacitance value, iterate the minimum capacitor voltage to achieve the target capacitance.
