  • An active clamp flyback (ACF) converter applies a clamp circuit and circulates the energy of leakage inductance to the input side, thereby achieving a zero-voltage switching (ZVS) operation and greatly reducing switching losses. The switching losses are further reduced by applying a gallium nitride field effect transistor (GaN-FET) with excellent switching characteristics, and ZVS operation can be accomplished under light load with boundary conduction mode (BCM) operation. Optimal design is performed on the basis of loss analysis by selecting magnetization inductance based on BCM operation and a clamp capacitor for loss reduction. Therefore, the size of the reactive element can be reduced through high-frequency operation, and a high-efficiency and high-power-density converter can be achieved. This study proposes an optimal design for a high-efficiency and high-power-density BCM ACF converter based on GaN-FETs and verifies it through experimental results of a 65 W-rated prototype.

  • 본 논문에서는 PSR(Primary Side Regulator)에 적용 가능한 새로운 방식의 부하 전류 예측 알고리즘을 제안한다. 기존의 부하 전류 예측 방식은 DCM(Discontinuous Conduction Mode) 및 BCM(Boundary Conduction Mode) 동작만이 가능하다. 하지만 제안된 방식은 Power Balance Rule을 적용한 간단한 알고리즘을 통해 CCM(Continuous Conduction Mode) 동작에서도 정확한 부하 전류 예측이 가능하다. 따라서 높은 출력을 요구하는 어플리케이션에서 고효율 달성에 유리하고, CC(Constant Current) 제어가 우수하다. 제안 알고리즘의 우수성과 신뢰성 검증을 위하여 12W급 플라이백 컨버터의 시작품을 제작하였고, 이를 이용한 실험 결과를 바탕으로 타당성을 확인한다.

  • Research on photovoltaic (PV) generation is taking a lot of attention due to its infinity and environment-friendliness with decrease of price per PV cell. While central inverters connect group of PV modules to utility grid in which maximum power point tracking (MPPT) for each module is difficult, micro inverter is attached on each module so that MPPT for individual modules can be easily achieved. Moreover, energy generation and consumption efficiency can be much improved by employing direct current (DC) distribution system. In this paper, a digitally controlled PV micro converter interfacing PV to DC distribution system is proposed. Boundary conduction mode (BCM) is utilized to achieve zero voltage switching (ZVS) of active switch and eliminate reverse recovery problem of passive switch. A 120W prototype boost PV micro converter is implemented to verify the feasibility and experimental results show higher than 98% efficiency at peak power and 97.29% of European efficiency.

  • New discrete time domain models for the peak current controlled (PCC) power LED drivers in continuous conduction mode include for the first time the effects of time delay in the pulse-width-modulator. Realistic amounts of time delay are found to have significant effects on the average output LED current and on the critical inductor value at the boundary between two conduction modes. Especially, the time delay can provide an accurate LED current for the PCC buck converter with a wide input voltage. The models can also predict the critical inductor values at the mode boundary as functions of the input voltage and the time delay.

  • This paper presents a new interleaved pulse-width modulation (PWM) boost-flyback converter to achieve power factor correction (PFC) and regulate DC bus voltage. The adopted boost-flyback converter has a high voltage conversion ratio to overcome the limit of conventional boost or buck-boost converter with narrow turn-off period. The proposed converter has wide turn-off period compared with a conventional boost converter. Thus, the higher output voltage can be achieved in the proposed converter. The interleaved PWM can further reduce the input and output ripple currents such that the sizes of inductor and capacitor are reduced. Since boundary conduction mode (BCM) is adopted to achieve power factor correction, power switches are turned on at zero current switching (ZCS) and switching losses are reduced. The circuit configuration, principle operation, system analysis, and design consideration of the proposed converter are presented in detail. Finally, experiments conducted on a laboratory prototype rated at 500W were presented to verify the effectiveness of the converter.

  • For low-power high-frequency LED driver applications in small form factor mobile products, a high-efficiency boundary conduction mode tapped-inductor boost converter is proposed. In the proposed converter, the switch and the diode achieve soft-switching, the diode reverse-recovery is alleviated, and the switching frequency is very insensitive to output voltage variations. The circuit is quantitatively characterized, and the design guidelines are presented. Experimental results from an LED backlight driver prototype for a 14 inch notebook computer are also presented.

  • This paper presents a current sensorless maximum power point tracking (MPPT) control method for dual-mode photovoltaic (PV) module-type interleaved flyback inverters (ILFIs). This system, called the MIC (Module Integrated Converter), has been recently studied in small PV power generation systems. Because the MIC is an inverter connected to one or two PV arrays, the power system is not affected by problems with other inverters. However, since the each PV array requires an inverter, there is a disadvantage that the initial installation cost is increased. To overcome this disadvantage, this paper uses a flyback inverter topology. A flyback inverter topology has an advantage in terms of cost because it uses fewer parts than the other transformer inverter topologies. The MPPT control method is essential in PV power generation systems. For the MPPT control method, expensive dc voltage and current sensors are used in the MIC system. In this paper, a MPPT control method without current sensor where the input current is calculated by a simple equation is proposed. This paper also deals with dual-mode control. Simulations and experiments are carried out to verify the performance and effectiveness of the proposed current sensorless MPPT control method on a 110 [W] prototype.

  • 본 논문에서는 더 높은 에너지 효율을 요구하는 전자 기기들의 사용에 따른 고전력 밀도 AC/DC adapter를 위한 향상된 제어 방법을 제안한다. PFC (Power Factor Correction) 토폴로지는 BCM (Boundary Conduction Mode)제어 방식을 적용한 부스트 토폴로지를 기본으로 하였으며, DC/DC 토폴로지는 50% 고정 duty법과 함께 새롭게 제안된 Off-time 제어법을 적용한 하프브릿지 토폴로지를 기본으로 하였다. 이는 반도체 소자와 마그네틱 소자의 크기를 줄이는데 용이하다. 85W급 AC/DC 어뎁터(18.5V/4.6A)를 설계하여 실험한 결과 90%의 효율과 $36W/in^3$의 전력밀도가 측정되었고 무부하시 전력 손실은 0.5W를 달성하였다.

  • 최근 휴대용 어댑터의 동향은 고주파수 전력 컨버터 설계를 통한 어댑터의 고효율화 및 소형화의 중요성을 강조하고 있다. 그러나 기존 준공진형(Quasi Resonant, QR) 플라이백 컨버터는 하드 스위칭 동작으로 고주파수 구동에 한계가 있으며, 누설 인덕턴스 에너지에 의한 손실로 인해 고효율을 달성하기가 어렵다. 반면, 능동 클램프 플라이백(Active Clamp Flyback, ACF) 컨버터는 ZVS(Zero Voltage Switching) 동작을 하여 고주파수 구동에 유리하고, 누설 인덕턴스 에너지를 입력으로 회기 시킴으로써 손실을 저감할 수 있다. 또한, 경계전류모드(Boundary Conduction Mode, BCM) 동작에서의 손실분석을 기반으로, 반도체 특성이 우수하여 고주파수 동작에 유리한 GaN-FET를 적용하고 최적 설계를 진행함으로써 고효율 및 고전력밀도를 달성하였다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 GaN-FET를 기반으로 하는 고효율 및 고전력밀도 BCM ACF 컨버터의 최적 설계 방안을 제시하고 65W급 시작품의 실험결과를 통해 이를 검증한다.

  • In this paper, we could find optimum quantum sequence(OQS) to minimize the output ripple voltage of the quantum series resonant converter(QSRC). This sequence control is so general that it is irrelevant to the voltage gain so far as it is operating in the continuous conduction mode(CCM). Further more the dynamic range of QSRC is much extended by the optimum quantum sequence control(OQSC). Througuout the time-domain analysis, the solution of steady state and the boundary condition between continuous and discontinuous mode is QSRC is obtained. This feature is verified by simulations and experiments with good agreements.
