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.
Losses and Temperature Rise Transformer loss is sometimes limited directly by the need to achieve a required overall power supply efficiency. More often, transformer losses are limited by a maximum “hot spot” temperature rise at the core surface inside the center of the windings. Tempera-ture rise (°C) equals thermal resistance (°C/Watt)
