Focus:
In parts 1 and 2 of this article, the author derived an analytical model of the primary-side
regulated (PSR) constant-current (CC) flyback and used this model to perform a Monte Carlo
analysis (MCA) of the converter. In this third part, the author carries out an extreme value
analysis (EVA) and a sensitivity analysis of the PSR flyback converter. For this study, only
the initial tolerances of the parameters are considered (except for the controller parameters).
The goal is to provide an interval for the output current value at the beginning of life of the
converter. This article concludes by comparing the results of the EVA and sensitivity analysis
with the MCA and determining whether we have met the goal for output current tolerance in the
LED driver application.
