Circuit Description
This design note describes a 48 W, wide range DC input, constant
voltage power supply, NCP1568DC48WGEVB, intended for Server
AUX power supply and others DC input applications requiring fixed
voltage output, low profile, high efficiency and high power density.
The NCP1568DC48WGEVB uses an Active Clamp Flyback (ACF)
topology utilizing ON Semiconductor NCP1568 ACF controller,
NCP51530A half−bridge driver, NCP4306 synchronous rectified
controller and secondary NTMFS6B03 synchronous MOSFET. This
Design Note provides the complete circuit schematic details, PCB and
BOM for the NCP1568 48 W DC input Power adapter solution that
supports fixed 12 V output voltage and 4 A current.
This design uses an ACF topology to implement a Zero Voltage
Switching (ZVS) operation with high switching frequency and
secondary CLC circuitry to implement secondary Zero Current
Switching (ZCS). In order to keep cost low, (2) SJ MOSFETs are used
on the primary side for power switching.
