Primary Clamp Circuit (D7, D1, D3, R2, R28) to Limit Voltage Stress

At turn-off a high voltage spike appears on the MOSFET due to the transformer’s leakage inductance. This voltage spike can exceed the MOSFETs maximum VDS rating, leading to failure of the device. Therefore, a clamping circuit is required. There are two types of clamping circuits: the RCD clamp and the diode-zener (or TVS) clamp. The TVS clamp provides better light-load efficiency and lower input power at no load than the RCD clamp because the TVS may not activated at lighter output load. The RCD clamp offers additional damping of parasitic ringing and improved EMI. The TVS diode clamp is used in this design example. The series resistor (RCLAMP), R2 // R8 in the schematic, creates a snubber effect for the TVS diode clamp for improved EMI, but the voltage stress on VDS is increased.

The total clamping voltage (VCLAMP) is designed to meet the 90% derating of the primary MOSFET at VIN_MAX. VCLAMP also needs to be higher than the reflected voltage on primary to limit the clamping loss. Two TVS diodes, D1 and D3, are connected in series to share the high clamping loss at full load. In the schematic, each 160-V clamp diode exhibits about 200 V at peak current, so the equivalent VCLAMP is around 400V.

The maximum and minimum clamp voltages can be calculated with the following equations.

Equation 16. V C L A M P _ M A X < V D S _ M A X × 90 % - V I N M A X - I M _ M A X × R C L A M P = 1.7   k V × 0.9 - 1   k V - 2.2   A × 31   Ω = 461   V
Equation 17. V C L A M P _ M I N > V O U T + V F × N P S = 15   V + 0.5   V × 10.2 = 158   V

The voltage rating of the series rectifier diode (D7) needs to be higher than 1.4 kV, which is the summation of 1000 VIN_MAX and 400 VCLAMP, so a 1.6 kV device is chosen assuming 90% derating. Instead of an ultra-fast type, the slow-recovery P/N junction diode should be considered, so that the reverse recovery could help to damp the high-frequency ringing after clamping and also recycle partial leakage energy to secondary side for increased converter efficiency.
