A flyback power factor corrector (PFC) using a series pass module (SPM) to shape its input current is presented. The input current is profiled by the SPM with its waveform controlled to be in the same wave shape and phase with the supply voltage and its magnitude controlled to regulate the output voltage.

A new series hybrid DC-DC converter targeting for communication power supply with wide input range is designed in this paper implemented with Silicon Carbic (SiC) power transistor. The proposed hybrid converter is a combination of forward and flyback converter with full usage of transformer energy and optimized efficiency.

This work introduces a novel modeling approach that allows to obtain fast simulations of PWM DC–DC Switched Mode Power Supplies (SMPS). The proposed methodology combines the use of precise switched models during transient evolutions and averaged models during steady state or slowly varying conditions.
