High Efficiency Adapter Using Dual Switch PFC-Flyback Single Stage

The paper presents an innovative design that delivers 85W of power at more than 91% efficiency in a low profile using a high frequency quasi-resonant fly-back topology with synchronous rectification, and improved power factor based on dual switch method. A closed to 0.9 power factor is achieved employing only one magnetic element and two primary side switchers. A significant power density increase is obtained due to a combination of smaller bulk capacitor and a smaller magnetic element.
