Design and Implementation of a Single-Stage PFC Active-Clamp Flyback Converter with Dual Transformers

This paper proposes an AC/DC single-stage structure by integrating a boost topology and an active clamp flyback (ACF) circuit with power-factor-correction (PFC) function. The PFC function can be achieved by controlling a boost PFC topology operated in the discontinuous conduction mode. With the coor...
