Abstract

This paper presents a high efficiency resonant flyback converter using a single-chip microcontroller. The proposed converter primary performs the resonant switching by applying the asymmetrical pulse-width modulation (APWM) to the half-bridge power topology. And the converter secondary uses the diode flyback rectifier as its power topology and operates with the zero current switching (ZCS). Thus the proposed converter achieves high efficiency. The total structure of proposed converter is very simple because it uses a single-chip microcontroller and bootstrap circuit for its control and drive, respectively. First, this paper describes the converter operation according to each operation mode and shows its steady-state analysis. And the software control algorithm and drive circuits operating the proposed converter are explained. Then, the operation characteristics of proposed converter are shown through the experimental results of an implemented prototype based on each explanation.

본 논문에서는 싱글칩 마이크로컨트롤러를 이용한 고효율 공진형 플라이백 전력변환기를 제안한다. 제안한 전력변환기의 1차측은 하프브리지의 전력구조에 비대칭펄스폭변조(APWM : Asymmetrical Pulse-Width Modulation)을 적용하여 공진형 스위칭을 수행한다. 그리고 2차측은 다이오드 플라이백정류기 전력구조를 이용하고 영전류스위칭(ZCS : Zero Current Switching)으로 동작한다. 그리하여 제안한 컨버터는 고효율을 달성한다. 제안한 컨버터는 제어와 구동을 위하여 싱글칩 마이크로컨트롤러와 부트스랩 회로를 각각 이용하므로 전체적 구조가 매우 간단하다. 본 논문에서는 먼저, 제안한 전력변환기의 전력회로의 동작을 동작모드 별로 설명하고 정상상태 해석을 보인다. 그리고 제안한 전력변환기를 동작시키는 소프트웨어 제어 알고리즘과 구동회로에 관하여 설명하며, 그 후 각 설명에 근거하여 제작된 프로토타입의 실험결과를 통하여 제안한 전력변환기의 동작 특성을 보인다.
