R. Williams et al., USE OF MULTIELEMENT TRANSFORMERS IN QUASI-RESONANT CONVERTERS, IEE proceedings. Part B. Electric power applications, 140(6), 1993, pp. 357-361
Multielement transformers offer the prospect of low-profile designs wi
th low leakage inductance and good thermal properties. The performance
s of both high- and low-voltage transformer designs, employing toroida
l cores, are evaluated in ZVS-QR (zero-voltage switching-quasiresonant
) convertors. It is shown that high transformer power density and good
efficiency can be achieved.
