Abstract

In this paper, we present an analytical method that provides fast and efficient evaluation of the conversion efficiency for Two transistor forward (TTF) DC-DC converter In the proposed method, the conduction losses are evaluated by calculating the effective values of the ideal current waveform first and incorporating them into an exact equivalent circuit model of the TTF converter that includes all the parasitic resistances of the circuit components. While the conduction losses are accurately accounted for the diode rectification, the core losses are assumed to be negligible in order to simplify the analysis. The validity and accuracy of the proposed method are verified with experiments on a prototype TTF converter An excellent correlation between the experiments and theories are obtained for the input voltages of 390V, output voltage 12V and maximum power 480W.

본 논문에서는 Two transistor forward(TTF) DC-DC 컨버터의 회로방식에 대한 전력변환 효율특성을 빠르고 효과적인 분석 방법에 대해 보고한 것이다. TTF 컨버터의 회로 구성 소자 중에서 내부 기생저항만을 고려한 등가회로를 유도하고 이상적인 동작 파형을 이용하여 전류의 실효값과 전도손실을 유도하였다. 해석을 간단하게 하기위해서 정상상태 결과로부터 코어 손실은 무시하였으며, 다이오드의 손실과 전도손실 만을 고려하였다. 해석결과의 타당성을 검토하기 위해서 시험용 TTF 컨버터를 구성하여 검증하였다. 입력전압 390V, 출력전압 12V, 최대전력 480W의 조건에서 실험결과와 해석결과와 비교적 잘 일치한다는 것을 본 논문에서 확인 하였다.
