Using (3) into (5), we have transistor continues “ON.” The equivalent circuit is shown
in Fig. 1(c), which corresponds to a dc/dc flyback converter.
(6) In this case, the MOSFET current will be much higher
than the MOSFET current, because the voltage is
(7) much lower than the main input voltage . Therefore, the
selection of MOSFET is more critical than the MOSFET

C. Charging Mode of Operation
Now, if the input voltage is When the main power input is functioning properly and the
(9) battery is discharged, the converter could be operated as a
battery charger. During this operation mode, the PFC capacity
then the low-frequency component of the input current is is preserved. In this mode of operation, the transistor is
turned off, and the equivalent circuit is shown in Fig. 1(d).
(10) Due to the position and polarity of the battery, the effective
voltage seen by the primary is
Therefore, the average input current, or the low-frequency
component, of the converter is directly proportional to the (11)
input voltage.
Since the polarities of and are opposite, then the
