Hi,
The following App note on 2 switch flyback says that the controller used needs a max duty cycle of 0.5 (page 7)..
AN5287
However, the App Note uses the L6565 controller, which doesnt limit its duty to 0.5
L6565 datasheet
Do you agree that a 2 switch flyback does not need a duty cycle limit as such?...it just needs enough off time for the leakage inductance to be discharged down to zero Amps.
In a 2 switch flyback, the voltage used to discharge the leakage inductor is Vin - Vout * NP/NS.
Surely its as long as the controller off time is longer than dt = (L.di)/V ?
where V = voltage across leakage L; L = Leakage inductance. di = peak primary current.
Thus surely the main thing needed for 2 switch flyback is an undervoltage shutdown which shuts down the 2 switch flyback whenever vin goes too low?
