Abstract

This paper is study on a new high efficiency DC-DC converter of discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) with zero voltage switching (ZVS). The converters of high efficiency are generally made that the power loss of the used semiconductor switching devices is minimized. The proposed converter is accomplished that the turn-on operation of switches is on zero current switching (ZCS) by DCM. The converter is also applicable to a new quasi-resonant circuit to achieve high efficiency converter. The control switches using in the converter are operated with soft switching, that is, ZVS and ZCS by quasi-resonant method. The control switches are operated without increasing their voltage and current stresses by the soft switching technology. The result is that the switching loss is very low and the efficiency of the converter is high. The soft switching operation and the system efficiency of the proposed DCM-ZVS converter are verified by digital simulation and experimental results.

본 논문에서는 영전압 스위칭(ZVS)과 전류불연속 모드(DCM)에 의한 새로운 고효율의 DC-DC 컨버터에 대해 연구된다. 일반적으로 고효율의 컨버터를 만들기 위해서는 전력변환기내에 사용된 반도체 스위칭 소자의 손실을 최소화하여 이루어진다. 제안한 컨버터는 DCM에 의하여 스위치의 턴-온 동작을 영전류 스위칭(ZCS)으로 만들고, 또한 새로운 유사공진 회로를 접목하여 컨버터의 고효율을 실현시킨다. 제안한 컨버터에 사용된 제어용 스위칭 소자들은 유사공진 기법에 의해 소프트 스위칭, 즉 ZVS와 ZCS으로 동작시키고, 이에 따른 제어용 스위칭 소자들은 전압과 전류의 스트레스 없이 동작한다. 그 결과 제안한 컨버터는 스위칭 손실의 저감에 의해 고효율로 구동된다. 제안한 DCM-ZVS 컨버터의 소프트 스위칭 동작과 시스템 효율은 디지털 시뮬레이션과 실험결과를 통해 그 타당성이 입증된다.
