An isolated ZVS/ZCS flyback converter using the leakage inductanceof the coupled inductor

This paper describes a simple and effective way to modify an existing hard-switched flyback power converter into a circuit with zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and zero-current switching (ZCS). The key improvement is to turn the unattractive features of the coupled inductor leakage inductance and snubber capacitor into attractive ones. The coupled inductor leakage inductance and snubber are used to form a quasi-resonant circuit to facilitate ZVS/ZCS of all power devices. The operating principles of the power converter and experimental results are presented     

Three-level LLC series resonant DC/DC converter

Paper presents a three-level soft switching LLC series resonant dc/dc converter. Zero-voltage switching (ZVS) is achieved for each main switch without any auxiliary circuit. Voltage stress of each main switch is half of input voltage. Zero-current-switching (ZCS) is achieved for rectifier diodes. Wide input/output range can be achieved under low frequency range because of two-stage resonance. Only one magnetic component is required in this converter. Efficiency is higher in high line input, so this converter is a preferable candidate for power products with the requirement of hold up time. For design convenience, relationship between dc gain and switching frequency, load resistance is deduced. Its open load characteristic and short load characteristic are exposed to provide theory basis for no load operation and over current protection. Design consideration of four dead times is presented to assure that voltage stress for main switches is within half of input voltage and ZVS for each main switch is achieved. Finally the principle of operation and the characteristics of the presented converter are verified on a 500V-700V input 54V/10A output experimental prototype, whose efficiency reaches 94.7% under rating condition.     

Multiphase Bidirectional Flyback Converter Topology for Hybrid Electric Vehicles

For hybrid electric vehicles, the batteries and the drive dc link may be at different voltages. The batteries are at low voltage to obtain higher volumetric efficiencies, and the dc link is at higher voltage to have higher efficiency on the motor side. Therefore, a power interface between the batteries and the drive's dc link is essential. This power interface should handle power flow from battery to motor, motor to battery, external genset to battery, and grid to battery. This paper proposes a multi-power-port topology which is capable of handling multiple power sources and still maintains simplicity and features like obtaining high gain, wide load variations, lower output-current ripple, and capability of parallel-battery energy due to the modular structure. The scheme incorporates a transformer winding technique which drastically reduces the leakage inductance of the coupled inductor. The development and testing of a bidirectional flyback dc-dc converter for hybrid electric vehicle is described in this paper. Simple hysteresis voltage control is used for dc-link voltage regulation. The experimental results are presented to show the working of the proposed converter.

Flexible and low cost design for a flyback AC/DC converter with harmonic current correction

This study presents a new simple flyback ac/dc converter with harmonic current correction and fast output voltage regulation. In the proposed ac/dc converter, an extra winding wound in the transformer provides two key advantages. The size of the bulk inductor used in the conventional boost-based power factor correction cell can be significantly reduced in the proposed converter. The voltage across bulk capacitor can be held under 450V by tuning the transformer winding ratio even though the converter operates in a wide range of input voltages (90 V/spl sim/265V/ac). This new converter complies with IEC 61000-3-2 under the load range of 200 W, and can achieve fast output voltage regulation.     

Single-Stage Soft-Switching AC–DC Converter With Input-Current Shaping for Universal Line Applications

In this paper, a novel single-stage soft-switching ac–dc converter for universal line applications is presented. Unlike the conventional single-stage designs, the proposed input-current shaping scheme is intentionally arranged to be charged in the duty-off time. With this design, the switch current stress in the duty-on time is significantly reduced. Meanwhile, this design produces ac modulation effect on the charging time of the boost inductor so that the input $i{-}nu$ curve drawn by the proposed converter has nearly linear relationship. Moreover, an active-clamp flyback–forward topology is used as the downstream dc–dc cell to alleviate voltage stress across the bulk capacitor. By deactivating the flyback subconverter and keeping the forward subconverter supplying the output power at light-load condition, the bulk-capacitor voltage can be alleviated effectively and guaranteed below 450 V in wide ranges of output load and line input (90–265 $hbox{V}_{rm rms}$). Experimental results, obtained from a prototype circuit with 20-V/100-W output, have verified that three achievements can be obtained simultaneously, including the compliance with the line-current harmonic regulations, the reliable alleviation of the bulk-capacitor voltage stress, and the substantially promoted conversion efficiency.

PCB integrated inductors for low power DC/DC converter

This paper discusses the use of printed circuit board (PCB) integrated inductors for low power DC/DC buck converters. Coreless, magnetic plates and closed core structures are compared in terms of achievable inductance, power handling and efficiency in a footprint of 10 /spl times/ 10 mm/sup 2/. The magnetic layers consist of electroplated NiFe, so that the process is fully compatible with standard PCB process. Analytic and finite element method (FEM) methods are applied to predict inductor performance for typical current waveforms encountered in a buck converter. Conventional magnetic design procedures are applied to define optimum winding and core structures for typical inductor specifications. A 4.7 /spl mu/H PCB integrated inductor with dc current handling of up to 500 mA is presented. This inductor is employed in a 1.5 W buck converter using a commercial control integrated circuit (IC). The footprint of the entire converter measures 10 /spl times/ 10 mm/sup 2/ and is built on top of the integrated inductor to demonstrate the concept of integrated passives in power electronic circuits to achieve ultra flat and compact converter solutions.

An integrated flyback converter for DC uninterruptible power supply

An integrated flyback power converter performing the combined functions of uninterruptible power supply (UPS) and switch-mode power supply (SMPS) is presented. This power converter has a high voltage main power input and a low voltage backup battery input. DC output is obtained from the main input via a flyback power converter during normal operation and from the backup battery via another flyback power converter when input power fails. High conversion efficiency is achieved in normal, backup, and charging modes as there is only a single DC-DC conversion in each mode. The power converter circuit is very simple, with two switching transistors, a relay for mode switching, and a single magnetic structure only. This new design offers substantial improvement in efficiency, size, and cost over the conventional cascade of UPS and SMPS due to single voltage conversion, high frequency switching, and removal of design redundancy. The operation, design, analysis, and experimental results of the power converter are presented     

A zero-current-switching PWM flyback converter with a simpleauxiliary switch

A simple and effective approach of turning an isolated hard-switched converter design into a soft-switched one is presented. By adding an auxiliary winding, switch and small capacitor to the conventional pulsewidth modulation (PWM) isolated flyback converter, all switches and diodes are softly turned on and off. No extra active or passive voltage clamp circuit is needed to suppress voltage stress on the switching devices that were usually found in classical converters. A zero-current-switching (ZCS) PWM flyback converter topology with multiple outputs is analyzed and examined. The proposal inherently utilizes the leakage inductance of the “flyback” transformer to achieve ZCS of all switching devices. A complete steady-state DC analysis and the operating principle are described. The performance of an 80 W experimental converter prototype with dual-voltage outputs is included

A parallel-connected single phase power factor correction approach with improved efficiency

In this paper, a new parallel-connected single phase power factor correction (PFC) topology using two flyback converters is proposed to improve the output voltage regulation with simultaneous input power factor correction and control. This approach offers lower cost and higher efficiency by parallel processing of the total power. Flyback converter-I primarily regulates output voltage with fast dynamic response and processes 55% of the power. Flyback converter-II with ac/dc PFC stage regulates input current shaping and PFC, and processes the remaining 45% of the power. This paper presents a design example and circuit analysis for 200 W power supply. A parallel-connected interleaved structure offers smaller passive components, less losses even in continuous conduction inductor current mode, and reduced volt-ampere rating of dc/dc stage converter. TI-DSP, TMS320LF2407, is used for implementation. Simulation and experimental results show the performance improvement.     

A Zero-Voltage and Zero-Current Switching Three-Level DC–DC Converter With Reduced Rectifier Voltage Stress and Soft-Switching-Oriented Optimized Design

A novel zero-voltage zero-current switching (ZVZCS) three-level converter with pulsewidth modulation (PWM) phase-shift control is proposed. The ZCS of the lagging switch is obtained by using a regenerative passive snubber in the secondary. In order to reduce the voltage stress on the rectifier's diodes, a few passive elements are inserted into the primary: a small inductance, two diodes, and a small additional winding of the main transformer. In each half-cycle, one of these diodes will conduct for a short time in order to clamp the voltage of the snubber's capacitor, and thus, the rectifier stress, at$(n_2/n_1)(V_ in/2)$,$n_1$, and$n_2$being the transformer's primary and, respectively, secondary turns number. The three-level configuration allows for the reduction of the voltage stress across the power switches to half of the input voltage$V_ in$. The conditions for assuring ZVS of the leading switch and ZCS of the lagging switch are found. Design constraints on the parallel capacitances of the switches of the leading switch, on the snubber's holding capacitor, and on the additional inductance and winding are hence established, allowing for an optimized design of the converter parameters. A dc analysis allows for the calculation of the effective duty cycle, which enjoys a boost effect due to the proposed snubber. Thus, a further reduction of the primary current stress and rectifier voltage stress is obtained. All the improvements conclude in a high efficiency. The influence of the choice of the parameters' values on the regulation capability is pointed out. Experiments on a prototype of 4.5kW confirm the results.     

PWM Resonant Single-Switch Isolated Converter

The flyback converter is one of the most attractive isolated converters in small power applications because of its simple structure. However, it suffers from a high device stress and a large transformer size. To relieve these drawbacks, a high-efficient pulsewidth modulation resonant single-switch isolated converter is proposed. The proposed converter derives the power using the resonance between transformer leakage inductor and secondary capacitor without a large filter inductor. Therefore, the switch turn-off loss and snubber loss are reduced by a sinusoidal-shaped current. Moreover, it has a reduced voltage stress on the secondary diodes without a dissipative snubber and a smaller transformer size. Therefore, it features a simple structure, low cost, and high efficiency. The operational principle and characteristics of the proposed converter are presented and verified experimentally with a $300 {sim} 400 {rm V}_{rm dc}$ input, $70 {rm V}_{rm dc}/1.5 {rm A}$ output prototype converter.

A new modulation strategy for a buck-boost input AC/DC converter

This paper presents a novel modulation strategy for a power factor corrected (PFC), isolated AC/DC converter derived from the integration of a nonisolated, two switch buck-boost AC/DC converter with an isolated dual active bridge DC/DC converter (2SBBDAB). This strategy, termed discontinuous leading/trailing edge (DLTE) modulation, serves to maximize the duty cycle of the input switch while keeping the current in the buck-boost inductor discontinuous. Hence, the crest factors of the currents in the switching devices are minimized, the input switch is turned on at zero current and the zero-voltage switching ranges of the bridge switches are unaffected by the integration. A conventional isolated, PFC AC/DC converter typically consists of a boost converter cascaded with a forward converter. The ratings required of the power switching devices of the 2SBBDAB employing the DLTE modulation strategy are similar to those required of the conventional design for wide line voltage operation. However, the 2SBBDAB converter has higher line voltage surge immunity than that of the conventional design and, unlike the conventional design, it has inherent inrush current limiting. The DLTE modulation strategy may be applied to the family of converters composed of the two switch buck-boost integrated with half and full-bridge forward converters
