Summary

The bias power supply is an important part of a HVLV DCDC converter design. There are several possible bias power supply architectures for HVLV DCDC converter and some commonly-used architectures, are shown in this paper. Based on the chosen architecture, the next step is to choose a topology (flyback, push-pull, LLC resonant, integrated DC/DC module, and so forth) and the associated devices. Design complexity, size, functional safety requirements, and cost play the main role in the decision of which type of architecture, topology and device to use.
