Low-volume stackable flyback converter with near minimum deviation controller
Bibliographic record
Abstract
This paper introduces a flyback-based low-volume modular converter and complementary mixed-signal controller that provide input voltage and output current sharing as well as near optimal transient response. This serial-input paralleloutput switch-mode power supply (SMPS) is well suited for high-step down ratio applications where, compared to a conventionally used multi-phase buck, it requires a smaller output filter volume, lower MOSFET blocking voltages, and provides better dynamic response. The stackable flyback also has better power processing efficiency and provides inherent passive current sharing. These advantages are achieved by utilizing low-voltage flyback cells and a novel implementation of minimum deviation control method. Experiments with a 12-to-1-V, 4-A, 500kHz 2-cell stacked flyback converter prototype show that, compared to an equivalent 12-V 2-phase conventional buck with approximately the same inductor volume, the introduced converter has 14% smaller output capacitor, up to 40% lower power losses, and 33% faster transient response.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one teacher head, not a consensus.
