Bp and Bm of transformer

Posted by: park young gil on

Hello there!
LINK SWITCH - PH series (LNK417EG ~ 420EG) is used.
LED driver topology is a flyback and buck type.
transformer for the two kinds of questions.
  1.   In flyback type Bp (peak flux density) and Bm (max flux density) and how to calculate.
      
  2.  In buck type in Bp (peak flux density) and Bm (max flux density) and  how to calculate.
    
      Thank you.

Whether it's flyback or buck, you can calculate Bp and Bm using the formula:

 

Bp = (Lp * Ip)/ (np *Ae)

Bm = (Lp * Ilimitmax) / (np * Ae)

 

where:

 

Lp = primary inductance

Ip = peak primary current

np= number of primary turns

Ae = Effective core area
