Dynamic analysis and compensation design for an asymmetrical half bridge do-dc converter are presented. A small-signal model is developed using the averaging method. Based on the proposed small-signal average model, the open loop transfer functions of the power stage were obtained and used for the compensation design. All theoretical predictions are validated by experiments on a prototype converter.

A new active lossless snubber for half-bridge dual converter(that is called 'dual converter') is proposed in this paper. It features soft switching(ZVS) as well as turn-off snubbing in both main and auxiliary switches. As it uses parasitic components, such as leakage inductances and switch output capacitances etc, it helps the dual converter to operate at the higher frequency with a higher efficiency and smaller size reactive components. The operational principle, theoretical analysis, and design consideration are presented. To confirm the operation, features and validity of the proposed circuit, simulated results from an 1kW, 24V/DC-250V/DC are presented.

An interleaved single-stage AC/DC converter with a boost converter and an asymmetrical half-bridge topology is presented to achieve power factor correction, zero voltage switching (ZVS) and load voltage regulation. Asymmetric pulse-width modulation (PWM) is adopted to achieve ZVS turn-on for all of the switches and to increase circuit efficiency. Two ZVS half-bridge converters with interleaved PWM are connected in parallel to reduce the ripple current at input and output sides, to control the output voltage at a desired value and to achieve load current sharing. A center-tapped rectifier is adopted at the secondary side of the transformers to achieve full-wave rectification. The boost converter is operated in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) to automatically draw a sinusoidal line current from an AC source with a high power factor and a low current distortion. Finally, a 240W converter with the proposed topology has been implemented to verify the performance and feasibility of the proposed converter.

This paper presents a new hybrid control method of asymmetrical half-bridge converter (AHBC) with low voltage stresses of the diodes. The proposed new control scheme can observe variation of secondary diode voltage stresses by using feedback of the input voltage and then decide the control portions, which are symmetrical control and asymmetrical control. Therefore, the proposed control scheme has many advantages such as a low rated voltage of the secondary diodes and low conduction loss according to the low voltage drop. The principle of the proposed control scheme is explained in detail and its validity is verifiedthrough simulated and experimental results

It is always necessary to high performance power supplies for the magnet system in the accelerator, especially when the number of power supplies are large. When have developed the compact power supply using switching technology instead of SCR phase control. We adopt the pulse width modulation(PWM) method with a half bridge DC/DC converter. In this way, we can make a compact system with light weight and small volume. Actual system we developed is 1.2kW, 35V/35A bipolar DC power supply current precision of +/-0.02%. It is possible to mount 10 unit in a conventional 19 rack. The built in controller has an RS422 protocol to drive 10 unit by one serial port up to 1.2km distance. If we adopt RS485 protocol, one serial port can control 32 power supplies. In this paper, we will report the design and performance of the prototype power supply.

This paper describes a power supply of a CW magnetron for driving a electrodeless plasma lamp. The proposed power supply consists of a power factor controller, a series resonant ZVS half bridge inverter, a high voltage leakage transformer, and two IGBT drives. From the simulation results, it was confirmed that the proposed circuits can control the input power of the magnetron up to 33.3[%] linearly by adjust driving frequency of the inverter.
