4-1 Section 4 Power Transformer DesignPower Transformer DesignThis Section covers the Design of Power trans-formers used in buck-derived topologies: forwardconverter, bridge, half-bridge, and full-wave center-tap. Flyback transformers (actually coupled induc-tors) are covered in a later Section . For more spe-cialized applications, the principles discussed hereinwill generally of a TransformerThe purpose of a Power Transformer in Switch-Mode Power Supplies is to transfer Power efficientlyand instantaneously from an external electrical sourceto an external load. In doing so, the Transformer alsoprovides important additional capabilities: The primary to secondary turns ratio can be es-tablished to efficiently accommodate widely dif-ferent input/output voltage levels.
ferent input/output voltage levels. • Multiple secondaries with different numbers of turns can be used to achieve multiple outputs at different voltage levels. • Separate primary and secondary windings facili-tate high voltage input/output isolation, especially important for safety in off-line applications.
