Designing a Zener tube for the leakage inductance of a flyback converter is one of the key steps before starting the design process. The Zener diode must be selected based on several parameters such as the switch voltage (Vmq), input voltage range (Vinmin to Vinmax), output voltage (Vo), rated power (Po), efficiency (X), current ripple (r, typically 0.5), and operating frequency (f). The Zener voltage (Vz) should be less than or equal to 95% of Vmq minus Vinmax. This ensures that the switch Q experiences a voltage of Vin + Vz, with a 5% margin reserved at Vinmax. Therefore, the condition is Vinmax + Vz ≤ Vmq × 95%. The primary side equivalent output voltage Vor is calculated as Vz divided by 1.4. The turns ratio n is determined by Vor divided by (Vo + Vd), where Vd is the forward voltage drop of the output diode, usually between 0.5V and 1V. The maximum duty cycle Dmax is given by Vor / (Vor + Vinmin), which serves as an initial estimate for the converter's efficiency. Most controllers have a typical limit of 70% for the duty cycle. Alternatively, you can start by determining the turns ratio n using n = Vin / Vo, where Vin is the desired input voltage. From there, calculate Vor, Vz, Dmax, and other relevant parameters. This process is considered the "starting point" of the design, and it often requires multiple iterations to fine-tune the values based on actual performance. Load current Io is calculated as Po / Vo. If there are multiple secondary windings, the load current is distributed accordingly. The primary side current Ior is derived from Io / n, based on the turns ratio. The duty cycle D is calculated as Iin / (Iin + Ior), where Iin = Pin / Vin and Pin = Po / X. Vin is taken as Vinmin for worst-case calculations. The secondary current ramp center value Il is Io / (1 - D), while the primary current ramp center value Ilr is Il / n. The peak switch current Ipk is (1 + 0.5 × r) × Ilr. The volt-second product Et is calculated as Vinmin × D / f, which helps determine the primary inductance Lp using Lp = Et / (Ilr × r). Core selection involves calculating the effective volume Ve using the formula Ve = 0.7 × ((2 + r)^2 / r) × (Pin / f), where Pin is the input power and f is the frequency in kHz. Common core types for flyback transformers include E cores, U cores, ETD, ER, and RM. Planar E, EFD, EP, P, and Ring cores are generally not suitable due to their anti-excitation performance. The number of primary turns Np is calculated using Np = (1 + 2/r) × (Von × D) / (2 × Bpk × Ae × f), where Von is Vinmin - Vq, Vq is the conduction voltage of the switch, Bpk is limited to 0.3T, and Ae is the effective area of the core. Secondary turns Ns = Np / n, with rounding up if necessary. After adjusting the turns, the magnetic flux density Bpk is recalculated as Bpk = Bpk0 × Np0 / Np. The air gap coefficient z is calculated using z = (1 / Lp) × (u × u0 × Ae / le) × Np^2, where u is the relative permeability, u0 is the vacuum permeability (4π × 10^-7), and le is the effective length of the core. The air gap length lg is then found using lg = le × (z - 1) / u. The skin depth h of the winding wire is calculated as h = 66.1 × (1 + 0.0042 × (T - 20)) / f^0.5, where T is the operating temperature (typically 80°C). The wire diameter d is twice the skin depth. The current-carrying capacity Im is calculated as π × (d/2)^2 × J, where J is the current density (usually 493 A/cm²). The number of strands for the primary and secondary windings are Mp = Ilr / Im and Ms = Il / Im, respectively. Transformer assembly structure is determined based on insulation requirements and leakage reduction. Common arrangements include primary, secondary, feedback or secondary/feedback first. Output diodes must handle a current of 2 × Io and a voltage of (1 + 20%) × (Vo + Vinmax / n). The switch transistor must handle a current of 2 × Ilr × sqrt(D × (1 + r^2/12)) and a voltage of (1 + 20%) × (Vor + Vinmax). Input and output capacitors are sized based on power, ripple, and voltage margins. Input capacitance Cin = Kcp × Po / X, with Kcp = 3 μF/W. Output capacitance Co = Io × D / (f × Vopp). The Zener diode power is calculated as Pz = 2 × Llk × Ipk^2 × (Vz / (Vz - Vor)) × f, with a safety margin. If the Zener loss is too high, an RCD snubber circuit can be used instead. The RCD capacitor voltage Vcmax is Vor / D, and the capacitance Crcd is calculated based on the peak current and leakage inductance. The resistance Rrcd is derived from the switching frequency and duty cycle, with a safety margin on the power rating. For higher efficiency, an LCD lossless snubber can be implemented, returning the leakage energy to the input capacitor. The buffer capacitor Cr and inductor Lr are calculated based on the voltage swing and resonant frequency. This method reduces losses and improves overall system efficiency. Finally, all components are verified for thermal, electrical, and mechanical constraints. Iterative adjustments ensure optimal performance under varying load and input conditions.
