Introduction

1Introduction

The Active Clamp Flyback (ACF) converter is a popular flyback topology that offers ZVS for the FETs. This topology

is suitable for higher frequency operation than the QR flyback because of the ZVS operation. There is also a

complete energy recovery in transformer leakage inductance, which is dissipated in the QR flyback RCD clamp.

ACF also has good electromagnetic interference (EMI) performance regarding ZVS operation and clamping of the

primary FET voltage through the clamp capacitor.

There are two types of ACF control modes: Complementary (CP) and noncomplementary (NCP). In the CP mode,

the main flyback and clamp switches are turned on/off alternatively to complement each otherin every switching

cycle, and the transformer current waveform is sinusoidal. Both the main flyback and clamp switches are under

ZVS switching. In the CP mode, the switching frequency rises with load decrease. This may have an impact on

light load and standby efficiency as well as EMI. Additionally, the full resonant current in the resonant tank

increases the conduction loss in the transformer.

To overcome the increased conduction loss and improve the light-load efficiency, use the noncomplementary

mode. This mode operates the active clamp FET so that it only turns on to accumulate enough magnetic energy

to ensure the main FET ZVS operation. This way, the circulating clampcapacitor currents are mitigated to output.

A few analog ACF controllers exist in the market. Some of them can only support either CP or NCP, but not both

types of operation.

Board overview

3Board overview

The EZ-PD™PAG2S-2P based 65 W active clamp flyback USB PD charger and adapter solution

(REF_65W_HFACF_PAG2) shown in Figure 2 solution board is designed to meet the specifications shown in

Table 2.

Figure 2 REF_65W_HFACF_PAG2 solution board

In this solution, the EZ-PD™PAG2x operates with an optimal frequency of 150 kHz and functions as a

secondary-side flyback, ACF controller, and SR controller. Additionally, a high-side driver is used externally to

drive the ACF/high-side GaN FET. This solution board consists of three boards:

•Baseboard being primary board with EZ-PD™PAG2P and other power components

•EMI Board with filters and bulk capacitors

•Secondary board with EZ-PD™PAG2S, SR MOSFET, and Type-C connector

Figure 3 shows the schematic of EZ-PD™PAG2S-2P based 65 W high frequency active clamp flyback charger and

adapter solution.

Board overview

Figure 3 EZ-PD™PAG2S-2P REF_65W_HFACF_PAG2 Schematic

EZ-PD™PAG2S uses PSoC™MiniProg4 (CY8CKIT-005) to program the EZ-PD™controllers. The EZ-PD™PAG2S-

based board uses a PSoC™MiniProg4 five-pin connection and a JTAG to Type-C connector board. In this way,

one can simply program the EZ-PD™PAG2S-2P based 65 W active clamp flyback charger and adapter board

using a Type-C connector.

Test setup

4.2 Power adapter tester (PAT)

Connect the DUT to a USB-C power adapter tester (PAT) using a USB Type-C cable. After the connection is

established, the PAT UI does a PDO discovery and displays the results.

The EZ-PD™PAG2S-2P based 65 W active clamp flyback charger and adapter solution is pre-configured with

seven PDOs:

•Fixed PDOs: 5.0 V / 3.0 A; 9.0 V / 3.0 A; 15.0 V / 3.0 A; 20.0 V / 3.25 A

•PPS: 5 V to 11 V, 3.0 A; 5 V to 15.0 V, 3.0 A; 5 V to 21.0 V, 3.25 A (PPS power limited)

Choose a suitable pre-configured PDO or configure a new one using the EZ-PD™Configuration Utility. Tests in

the following sections use pre-configured PDOs.

To know more about the PAT tester, see USBCEE.
