  1. Project Power Supply J.T. Hwang Paul Dykstra

  2. Presentation Overview • Discuss Specifications • Discuss Circuit design • Discuss Individual Parts of circuit and some design issues • Discuss Problems experienced • Discuss Results • Conclusions

  3. Project Specifications • Input range of 100-240Vrms • Outputs of +5,-5,+12,-12,+24 volts • Total power of 100W (20W per output) • Ripple +/-%1 • Try and implement a feedback control to keep outputs constant

  4. Design considerations • Want to use power electronics • Want to isolate input from output • Want to isolate outputs from each other • Want to keep ripple low

  5. Circuit designed to use

  6. Breakdown of ckt. operation • 60Hz transformer with turns ration of 120:25.2 Vrms • Full bridge rectifier • Flyback converter • Gate drive circuit • Control circuit

  7. Rectifier • 60Hz transformer steps voltage down from 120 to 25.2 Vrms (170:35.2V peak) • Full bridge fully rectifies signal • Capacitor makes output look like ideal voltage source

  8. Description of flyback • When FET is on, current goes through primary • When FET is off, current flows through secondary’s, giving desired ouptputs. • Current can only flow one way on each side due to switch design

  9. Load Resistor Values • P=V^2/R • For 5V output, Rload=25/20=1.25ohms • For 12V output, Rload=144/20=7.2 • For 24V output, Rload =576/20=28.8 ohms

  10. Capacitor Values • C=I*dt/dv • We wanted ripple below 1% • Switching at 200kHz (5us), with duty ratio of ½, and dt=D*T • I=P/V • Minimum C values are found at 1000uF for 5V, 173uF for 12V, and 4.3uF for 24V

  11. When L is to small, current can swing from Ipeak to 0, which is discontinuous mode and is shown below Avoiding Discontinuous Mode If L is big enough, current will look like below, this is what we want

  12. Finding Lcrit • Lcrit=V*dt/di • di is maximum swing of current on primary side, which will be largest for 240Vrms (inductor sees 70.7Vdc) input at 1.4A, • dt is D*T=5us*.333 for 240V input • Lcrit >/=83uH • We designed to have much less swing, and used inductor value of about 1.8mH to get rid of a lot of ripple

  13. Gate drive of FET • Variable duty and frequency allow for different switching capabilities. • Snubber gives smooth transitions in the switching action • 35V comes from rectified signal • 12V zener used for voltage regulator

  14. Duty Ratios • For a flyback converter, Vout=Vin*(D1/1-D1) where D1 is the duty of the FET • For 100V input: D1=.6 • For 120V input: D1=.5 • For 240V input: D1=1/3

  15. Feedback control circuit • Voltages are compared to see if duty need to be adjusted • Output=10(Vref+Vout • The output gets fed into the duty of the PWM • This circuit was built, and tested, but we couldn’t get it to function correctly in our converter

  16. Parts Used • Bridge Rectifier used 4 MUR 820’s (200V, 8A) • Output Diodes were MBR1045’s 45V, 10A) • FET used was IRF740 (400V, 27A)

  17. Problems with cores • Originally tried toroid core. • This core was designed for lower frequencies than what we were switching at, and had too many losses because of low permeability. • Switched to “pot” core. • Higher permeability of pot cores solved our problems and gave better outputs.

  18. Wire information • Current density used was 500A/cm^2 • Magnetic wire of 3 different gauges was used • 5V and primary used 18 gauge (rated for 4.2A) • 12V outputs used 20 gauge (rated for 2.06A) • 24V outputs used 22 gauge (rated for 1.6A)

  19. Pot Core specs • Inductance factor=8.1uH • 15 turns (primary) gives 1.82mH • 5V: 3 turns • 12V: 7 turns gives 15.6V • 24V: 12 turns gives 26.8V • Minimum of 2V to use voltage regulators

  20. Other Problems Experienced • Our circuit was drawing excessive amounts of current, causing strange behavior and FET getting extremely hot. Why? • Insulation on Magnetic wires was wearing off, causing some “leakage” flux and current, which accounted for this

  21. Ripple considerations • Needed to minimize ESR of capacitors to lower ripple • Added L-C filters to further minimize ripple • Below shows this adjusted circuit at output

  22. Ripple results

  23. Efficiency Results

  24. Conclusions • We were able to use a flyback to design this project power supply • We experienced trouble with certain types of inductor cores • Overall, we were reasonably successful at getting good efficiency and low output ripple
