In the thesis, an active-clamp flyback converter with power factor corrector is applied in the LED backlight circuit for LCD-TV. In order to reduce the power consumption and the consideration of stability, an active-clamp flyback converter that can maintain the output voltage value in a constant by using fixed frequency current-mode PWM modulation is used to be the power supply. An active-clamp flyback converter with good voltage switching feature can reduce switching losses and noises effectively. Therefore, the operating frequency and the conversion efficiency can be raised. An active-clamp flyback converter features simple structure and soft switching operations. An op amplifier with voltage control is employed so that the output current is almost constant. It ensures a constant current to drive LEDs without disturbance due to the voltage source. Finally, we use the TINA Design Suite to complete the simulation of the LED backlight circuit prototype. The front-end circuit is a transition-mode (TM) PFC for achieving a unity input power factor (PF). The post-stage circuit is an active-clamp flyback converter. Simulation results show the good output voltage performance of the proposed LED backlight circuit and verify its effectiveness.
