Push-pull circuit energy storage inductor

How does a push-pull converter work?

Figure 2 shows the operation of a push-pull converter. The converter uses transformer action to transfer power from the primary side to the secondary side, as opposed to other topologies like the flyback, which store energy in an inductor in one phase of the switching cycle and transfer it to the load in the second phase.

How does a single input energy storage inductor work?

Using a single input energy storage inductor with a center-tapped transformer structure to make the input current frequency twice the switching frequency, the input current ripple and the inductance of an input inductor can be relatively reduced.

Does a push-pull-based High Step-Up DC/DC converter have a single input inductor?

In this article, an active-clamped push–pull-based high step-up dc/dc converter with a single input inductor is investigated to maintain the continuity of the input current while reducing the demand for the input inductance.

Why is a snubber circuit required for a push-pull converter?

Other than at low-power levels, snubber circuits are required for the push–pull converter to limit the voltage induced by the transformer leakage inductance energy, as there are no diode paths for its safe release. The leakage energy problem is exacerbated at low- voltage levels, for a given through-put power.

Which type of resonant converter is a push-pull type?

The push-pull type LLC series resonant converter takes on the desirable characteristics of both the conventional push-pull converter and LLC series resonant converter. It has less conduction loss than that of a full bridge converter.

What are H-bridge and push-pull converters?

H-bridge and push–pull converters are alternative topologies that allow higher power density since they are based on transformer action (as opposed to energy storage) for power transfer.
