100kHz Half Bridge Convertor – SG3525
This is a SMPS Circuit improved over the Application Note in the book SGS Motion Control Application Manual. This worked well. It helps you learn more about High Frequency Power Supply Design.
100kHz Half Bridge Convertor SG3525 – del50032
This was the Module that contained the smps chip. It was done to prevent easy replication by other firms. Also to Keep the Signals isolated from the Main board board currents and Corrosion Prevention by impregnating Module in Epoxy. Yet the main board suffered some corrosion even with some coating protection.
Industrial Systems that involve processes like Etching, Coating and Electroplating have to be well ventilated so that electronics around them have some life. Else find ways to package Electronics in Sealed Enclosures with a new plan for Heat Dissipation.
Some Notes Related to the Project
- In main circuit do not link different grounds.
- Main circuit can be used both for 110 AC and 230 AC
- Ferrites are partial conductors use proper insulation before winding.
- For main transformer TRX2 use split bobbin for good/safe isolation.
- Epoxy coated toroids have to be further insulated before winding.
- Line of isolation between primary and secondary circuits should be explicit.
- Primary components like Q1, Q2 tabs R5, R6 etc can give shock take caution.
- Each main module is 500W and can be used in parallel for more current.
- Q1 and Q2 should have appropriate isolated heatsinks TO220 type 50sq cm
- Schottky diodes D5, D6 should have heatsinks TO220 type 100sq cm.
- Diodes D5, D6 eg D83004 are TOP3 packages are used 2 in parallel.
- For 200W and above R2=0.1e 5W in the main circuit fusible ceramic.
- C10, C11… Add 4.7uF 100v more in parallel to reduce ripple.
- C13, C14 can be 250V for better safety margin.
- TRX1 SEC1 and SEC2 dot polarity is anti-phase if same phase danger!!
Magnetics Design
All Transformers Isolation 1kV PRI To SEC / SEC To SEC / PRI,SEC To Core. Use Yellow Mylar Tape Insulation or better for all. Vacuum Impregnate all Magnetics in Epoxy or Varnish. All Power Tracks on PCB reinforce with Copper Braid.

250 W S.M.P.S. with Power-FETs Experiments with the PC power supply encouraged me to an “advancement ” design. The new power supply is also a forward converter with a half-bridge topology. The difference to the modified PC power supply consists in the following items: Two power FETs instead of bipolar transistors used as power switches.
