Design Guidelines for Off-line Forward Converters
Using Fairchild Power Switch (FPSTM)
Abstract
This paper presents practical design guidelines for off-line
forward converter employing FPS (Fairchild Power Switch).
Switched mode power supply (SMPS) design is inherently a
time consuming job requiring many trade-offs and iteration
with a large number of design variables.
The step-by-step design procedure described in this paper
helps the engineers to design a SMPS easily. In order to
make the design process more efficient, a software design
tool, FPS design assistant, that contains all the equations
described in this paper, is also provided.

Figure 1. Basic Off-line Forward Converter Using FPS
1. Introduction
transformer
Due to circuit simplicity, the forward converter has been
widely used for low to medium power conversion
applications. Figure 1 shows the schematic of the basic offline forward converter using FPS, which also serves as the
reference circuit for the design procedure described in this
paper. Because the MOSFET and PWM controller together
with various additional circuits are integrated into a single
package, the design of SMPS is much easier than the discrete
MOSFET and PWM controller solution.
This paper provides step-by-step design procedure for an
FPS based off-line forward converter, which includes
design, reset circuit design, output filter design, component
selection and closing the feedback loop. The design
procedure described herein is general enough to be applied
to various applications. The design procedure presented in
this paper is also implemented in a software design tool (FPS
design assistant) to enable the engineer to finish SMPS
design in a short time. In the appendix, a step-by-step design
example using the software tool is provided.

2. Step-by-step Design Procedure
In this section, design procedure is presented using the
schematic of the figure 1 as a reference. In general, most FPS
has the same pin configuration from pin 1 to pin 4, as shown
in figure 1.

Usually, voltage
doubler circuit as shown in figure 1 is used for a forward
converter with universal input. Then, the minimum line
voltage is twice the actual minimum line voltage.
- Line frequency (fL).

(3) STEP-3 : Determine the transformer reset method and
the maximum duty ratio (Dmax)
- Maximum output power (Po).
- Estimated efficiency (Eff) : It is required to estimate the
power conversion efficiency to calculate the maximum input
power. If no reference data is available, set Eff = 0.7~0.75 for
low voltage output applications and Eff = 0.8~0.85 for high
voltage output applications.
With the estimated efficiency, the maximum input power is
given by
P
P in = ------oE ff
(1)
Considering the maximum input power, choose the proper
FPS. Since the voltage stress on the MOSFET is about twice
the input voltage in the case of the forward converter, an FPS
with 800V rated MOSFET is recommended for universal
input voltage. The FPS lineup with proper power rating is
also included in the software design tool.
One inherent limitation of the forward converter is that the
transformer must be reset during the MOSFET off period.
Thus, additional reset schemes should be employed. Two
most commonly used reset schemes are auxiliary winding
reset and RCD reset. According to the reset schemes, the
design procedure is changed a little bit.
(a) Auxiliary winding reset : Figure 3 shows the basic
circuit diagram of forward converter with auxiliary winding
reset. This scheme is advantageous in respect of efficiency
since the energy stored in the magnetizing inductor goes
back to the input. However, the extra reset winding makes
the construction of the transformer more complicated.

As can be seen in equations (5) and (6), the maximum
voltage on the MOSFET can be reduced by decreasing Dmax.
However, decreasing Dmax results in increased voltage stress
on the secondary side. Therefore, it is proper to set
Dmax=0.45 and Np=Nr for universal input. For auxiliary
winding reset, FPS, of which duty ratio is internally limited
below 50%, is recommended to prevent core saturation
during transient.
(b) RCD reset : Figure 4 shows the basic circuit diagram of
the forward converter with RCD reset. One disadvantage of
this scheme is that the energy stored in the magnetizing
inductor is dissipated in the RCD snubber, unlike in the reset
winding method. However, due to its simplicity, this scheme
is widely used for many cost-sensitive SMPS.

(8)
Since the snubber capacitor voltage is fixed and almost
independent of the input voltage, the MOSFET voltage
stress can be reduced compared to the reset winding
approach when the converter is operated with a wide input
voltage range. Another advantage of RCD reset method is
that it is possible to set the maximum duty ratio larger than
50% with relatively low voltage stress on the MOSFET
compared to auxiliary winding reset method, which results
in reduced voltage stress on the secondary side.
(4) STEP-4 : Determine the ripple factor of the output
inductor current.
Figure 5 shows the current of the output inductor. The ripple
factor is defined as
∆ IK RF = ------2I o
(9)
where Io is the maximum output current. For most practical
design, it is reasonable to set KRF=0.1~ 0.2.

(5) STEP-5 : Determine the proper core and the minimum
primary turns for the transformer to prevent core
saturation.
Actually, the initial selection of the core is bound to be crude
since there are too many variables. One way to select the
proper core is to refer to the manufacture's core selection
guide. If there is no proper reference, use the following
equation as a starting point.

swing in tesla for normal operation. ∆B is typically 0.2-0.3 T
for most power ferrite cores in the case of a forward
converter. Notice that the maximum flux density swing is
small compared to flyback converter due to the remnant flux
density.

where Np and Ns1 are the number of turns for primary side

and VF1 is the diode forward voltage drop of the reference
output.
Then, determine the proper integer numbers for Ns1 so that
the resulting Np is larger than Npmin obtained from equation
(14). The magnetizing inductance of the primary side is
given by

The next step is to determine the number of turns for Vcc
winding. The number of turns for Vcc winding is determined
differently according to the reset method.
(a) Auxiliary winding reset : For auxiliary winding reset,
the number of turns of the Vcc winding is obtained as
V cc * + V Fa
- ⋅ N r (turns)
N a = --------------------------min
V DC
where Vcc* is the nominal voltage for Vcc and VFa is the
diode forward voltage drop. Since Vcc is proportional to the
input voltage when auxiliary winding reset is used, it is
proper to set Vcc* as the Vcc start voltage to avoid the over
voltage protection during the normal operation.

(19)
where Vcc* is the nominal voltage for Vcc. Since Vcc is
almost constant for RCD reset in normal operation, it is
proper to set Vcc* to be 2-3 V higher than Vcc start voltage.

transformer winding based on the rms current.
The rms current of the n-th winding is obtained as

the feedback controlled secondary side as a reference.

The current density is typically 5A/mm when the wire is
long (>1m). When the wire is short with small number of
turns, current density of 6-10 A/mm2 is also acceptable.
Avoid using wire with a diameter larger than 1 mm to avoid
severe eddy current losses and to make winding easier. For
high current output, it is better to use parallel winding with
multiple strands of thinner wire to minimize skin effect.
Check if the winding window area of the core is enough to
accommodate the wires. The required window area is given
by
Aw = A c ⁄ K F
(22)
where Ac is the actual conductor area and KF is the fill factor.
Typically the fill factor is 0.2-0.3 when a bobbin is used.
(8) STEP-8 : Determine the proper core and the number
of turns for output inductor
When the forward converter has more than one output as
shown in figure 7, coupled inductors are usually employed to
improve the cross regulation, which are implemented by
winding their separate coils on a single, common core.

The maximum voltage and the rms current of the rectifier
diode of the n-th output are obtained as
V D ( n ) = VDC
First, determine the turns ratio of the n-th winding to the
reference winding (the first winding) of the coupled
inductor. The turns ratio should be the same with the
transformer turns ratio of the two outputs as follows.

Sometimes it is impossible to meet the ripple specification
with a single output capacitor due to the high ESR of the
electrolytic capacitor. Then, additional LC filter (post filter)
can be used. When using additional LC filter, be careful not
to place the corner frequency too low. If the corner
frequency is too low, it may make the system unstable or
limit the control bandwidth. It is proper to set the corner
frequency of the filter to be around 1/10 to 1/5 of the
switching frequency.

and RL is the effective total load resistance of the controlled
output defined as Vo12/Po.When the converter has more than
one output, the DC and low frequency control-to-output
transfer function are proportional to the parallel combination
of all load resistance, adjusted by the square of the turns
ratio. Therefore, the effective total load resistance is used in
equation (38) instead of the actual load resistance of Vo1.

As can be seen in figure 10, the worst case in designing the
feedback loop for a CCM forward converter is the full load
condition. Therefore, by designing the feedback loop with
proper phase and gain margin in low line and full load
condition, the stability all over the operation ranges can be
guaranteed.
The procedure to design the feedback loop is as follows:
(a) Determine the crossover frequency (fc). When an
additional LC filter (post filter) is employed, the crossover
frequency should be placed below 1/3 of the corner
frequency of the post filter, since it introduces -180 degrees
phase drop. Never place the crossover frequency beyond the
corner frequency of the post filter. If the crossover frequency
is too close to the corner frequency, the controller should be
designed to have enough phase margin more than about 90
degrees when ignoring the effect of the post filter.
When determining the feedback circuit component, there are
some restrictions as follows.
(a) The capacitor connected to feedback pin (CB) is related to
the shutdown delay time in an overload situation as
T delay = ( VSD – 3 ) ⋅ C B ⁄ I delay
(41)
where VSD is the shutdown feedback voltage and Idelay is the
shutdown delay current. These values are given in the data
sheet. In general, 10~100 ms delay time is proper for most
practical applications. In some cases, the bandwidth may be
limited due to the required delay time in over load
protection.
(b) The resistor Rbias and RD used together with opto-coupler
and the KA431 should be designed to provide proper operating current for the KA431 and to guarantee the full swing of
the feedback voltage of the FPS. In general, the minimum
cathode voltage and current for KA431 is 2.5V and 1mA,
respectively. Therefore, Rbias and RD should be designed to
satisfy the following conditions.
(b) Determine the DC gain of the compensator (wi/wzc) to
cancel the control-to-output gain at fc.

Design Summary
• For the FPS, FS7M0880 is chosen. This device has a fixed switching frequency of 67kHz.
• To limit the current, a 10 ohm resistor (Ra) is used in series with the Vcc diode.
• The control bandwidth is 6kHz. Since the crossover frequency is too close the corner frequency of the post filter (additional
LC filter), the controller is designed to have enough phase margin of 120 degrees when ignoring the effect of the post filter.
Figure 12 shows the final schematic of the forward converter designed by FPS Design Assistant
