FUNCTIONAL DESCRIPTION
PHASE MODULATOR
Power is controlled by modulating the switching phase on
sides A and B of the full H-bridge converter (Figure 1).
Power is delivered to the output through the transformer
secondary. The power conversion process is described by
the following sequence and illustrated by the timing
diagram of Figure 2:
1. A2 and B1 are high (Q1 and Q2 are on), beginning

turning off Q2. The parasitic drain-to-source
capacitances of Q2 and Q4 charge to +VIN. This
forces the drain-to-source voltage across Q3 to 0V.
