This paper provides circuit analysis of low-side active-clamp forward converter with synchronous rectification which is widely used as an efficient power supply in various applications. With the use of active clamp technique and synchronous rectification techniques, the losses of the converter reduces and efficiency increases but the number of components also increases. A variety of soft-switching strategies are employed in the forward converter to reduce switching and conduction losses, as well as the overall efficiency. Different clamping circuits, including as active clamping and passive clamping circuits, have been used in the forward converter, which has resulted in a significant reduction in the losses of the converter. Additionally, interleaved and cascaded forward converters are employed in a variety of applications. A forward converter with several outputs is employed for a variety of applications.
