Abstract: A method of controlling a phase-shift full-bridge (PSFB) converter in a light load operation is provided to switch control modes of the PSFB converter by detecting magnetizing current of a transformer thereof. The method includes following steps: First, the PSFB converter is operated in an extended PSFB control mode when the magnetizing current is larger. Afterward, the PSFB converter is operated in a modified PSFB control mode when the magnetizing current is gradually reduced and electric charges transported by the residual magnetizing current near to or less than a half of the DC input voltage. Finally, the optimal degree of soft switching of the PSFB converter is implemented when the PSFB converter is operated at the modified PSFB control mode. Accordingly, it is to improve overall efficiency, reduce switching losses, and achieve electromagnetic compatibility.

Abstract: A bridge converter with a snubber circuit is applied to a power apparatus and a load apparatus. The bridge converter includes a transformer, a first diode, a secondary side first switch unit, a first capacitor, a second diode, a second capacitor, a secondary side second switch unit, a direct current to direct current conversion unit, a third capacitor and a resistor. The transformer includes a primary side winding, a first secondary side winding and a second secondary side winding.

Abstract: A power supply apparatus mainly includes a secondary side controller, a digital isolator, a plurality of isolation sensing units, and a driving unit. The secondary side controller is configured to isolatedly measure voltages and currents, and is configured to isolatedly control the driving unit. The power supply apparatus includes a controller only, i.e. the secondary side controller 114. Therefore, the power consumption is lower, and the cost is lower. Only one controller is required to update software. There is no communication delay problem between two controllers.
