Asymmetrical Half-Bridge Converter
Advantages
Fixed frequency ZVS
Constant power transfer (D and 1-D) reduces output ripple
Power stage can be controlled using any active clamp PWM controller
Easy implementation of self-driven synchronous rectification
Disadvantages
High voltage stress on secondary rectifier
Loss of ZVS at some min load current – extending ZVS range is difficult
Poor transient response due to DC blocking capacitors
Increased magnetizing current at DMIN can push transformer toward saturation -
Transformer design is critical

Asymmetrical Half-Bridge (AHB) Converter
Square wave generator
produces a square wave voltage (Vd) by driving switches Q1 and Q2 complementarily
Energy transfer network
removes DC offset of the square wave voltage (Vd) using DC blocking capacitor (CB)
transfers a pure AC square wave voltage to the secondary through the transformer
Causes Ip to lag Vpr to provide ZVS condition for Q1 and Q2
Rectifier network
produces a DC voltage by rectifying the AC voltage with rectifier diodes and a low-pass
