Hybrid Flyback ICs
Infineon's innovative approach to asymetrical half bridge controller topology - Hybrid flyback controller for ultra-high power density designs
Hybrid flyback controllers combine the simplicity of a flyback with the performance of resonant mode. Hybrid flyback controllers are able to drive both high-and low-side switches in an asymmetric half-bridge flyback topology. Thanks to this innovative approach, ultra-high power density designs with very low standby power consumption is achieved.
- 600 V high voltage start-up cell
- Burst mode for lowest standby power
- HFB ZVS operation
- HFB peak current control
- Harmonized PFC and hybrid flyback
- Integrated gate drivers for Si/GaN
- Enhanced jitter for EMI reduction
Infineon's XDP™ digital power XDPS22xx family supports the innovative hybrid flyback topology. This topology, also known as the asymmetrical half-bridge flyback converter, merges the features of flyback and forward converters. It addresses the main problems related to high-density adapters operating at moderate switching frequencies. The hybrid topology can ensure zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and zero-current switching (ZCS) over line and load. It lays the foundation for the highest conversion efficiency by using the magnetization current to achieve ZVS on the primary-side half-bridge and ZCS on the synchronous rectification switch. The parasitic leakage inductance is an integral part of the converter.
Unlike other topologies, hybrid flyback transformers do not need to store all the energy, thus reducing the charger’s size. Hybrid flyback can achieve full ZVS operation on the primary side, and full ZCS operation on the secondary side, and the leakage energy is recycled, thereby achieving high efficiency. The duty-cycle directly influences the output voltage, offering a solution to the limitations of the LLC topology in applications requiring a wide range of output voltage output.
