3 Design Process
The design process for a two-stage power converter system can be partitioned into six circuit blocks (see Figure 1).
The AC line voltage is passed through an electromagnetic interference (EMI) filter to suppress conducted interfer-
ence found on the power line. The output of the EMI filter is then converted to the desired DC output by a boost-
flyback converter. The power converter system includes the Gate Bias, Steady State Supply, and Active Clamp sup-
port circuitry.
3.1 Operating Parameters
To initiate the design procedure, a set of operating parameters are required. Operating parameters required
for the analytical process are outlined in the table below. Parameters critical to the overall design, but not
specifically addressed in this document, include: EMI compliance, efficiency, form factor, layout, and operating
temperature.
