Popis: This paper presented a novel power conversion method of realizing the galvanic isolation by dual safety capacitors (Y-cap) instead of conventional transformer. With limited capacitance of the Y capacitor, series resonant is proposed to achieve the power transfer. The basic concept is to control the power path impedance, which blocks the dominant low-frequency part of touch current and let the high-frequency power flow freely. Conceptual analysis, simulation and design considerations are mentioned in this paper. An 85W AC/AC prototype is designed and verified to substitute the isolation transformer of a CCFL LCD TV backlight system. Compared with the conventional transformer isolation, the new method is proved to meet the function and safety requirements of its specification while has higher efficiency and smaller size.
