Abstract
This paper proposes a new ripple canceling circuit (RCC) to eliminate the pulsating input current of the conventional flyback converter (CFC). The ripple canceling procedure occurs by two capacitors, one transformer, and a winding which is added to the CFC transformer core. Besides, the proposed RCC acts as a passive snubber to reduce voltage spikes on the power switch of the converter. In comparison to the similar existing topologies, the proposed RCC does not employ additional semiconductors, and a lower number of magnetic components is used. The proposed RCC is verified by simulation and experimental results. The results show that using the proposed RCC, input current ripple is reduced to 6% with the minimum power losses.
