LLC resonant DC-DC converter is widely used in many kinds of applications such as battery energy storage systems, wireless power transfer and high voltage power supply. It is because of characteristics like high efficiency, power density, isolation, wide power level and stability enhancement at high switching frequency. Small signal modeling helps to design controller of the converter by approximating the behavior of nonlinear system with linear state equations. This paper presents comparison between small signal modeling analysis and experimental results of LLC resonant converter.

A new half bridge converter without DC offset of magnetizing current is proposed. The proposed half bridge converter can realize no DC offset of magnetizing current as well as no circulating current, and guarantee ZVS operation. Therefore it has high efficiency and high power density, especially in wide input range. The operational principle, DC conversion ratio and ZVS analysis are presented. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed converter can achieve a significant improvement in the efficiency.

본 논문에서는 더 높은 에너지 효율을 요구하는 전자 기기들의 사용에 따른 고전력 밀도 AC/DC 어댑터의 구조를 제안한다. PFC (Power Factor Corrector) topology는 BCM (Boundary Conduction Mode)제어 방식을 적용한 Boost topology를 기본으로 하였으며, DC/DC topology는 주파수제어를 적용한 LLC 공진 컨버터를기본으로 하였다. 이는 반도체 소자 및 마그네틱 소자의 크기를 줄이는데 용이하다. 85W급 AC/DC adapter (18.5V/4.6A)를 설계하여 실험한 결과 $90V_{rms}$의 입력전압에서 90%의 효율과 $36W/in^3$의 전력밀도가 측정되었고 무부하시 전력 손실은 0.5W를 달성하였다.

This work presents a high efficiency phase shifted full bridge (PSFB) DC-DC converter for use in the second stage of a battery charger for neighborhood electrical vehicle (EV) applications. In the design of the converter, Lithium-ion battery cells are preferred due to their high voltage and current rates, which provide a high power density. This requires wide range output voltage regulation for PSFB converter operation. In addition, the battery charger works with a light load when the battery charge voltage reaches its maximum value. The soft switching of the PSFB converter depends on the dead time optimization and load condition. As a result, the converter has to work with soft switching at a wide range output voltage and under light conditions to reach high efficiency. The operation principles of the PSFB converter for the continuous current mode (CCM) and the discontinuous current mode (DCM) are defined. The performance of the PSFB converter is analyzed in detail based on wide range output voltage and load conditions in terms of high efficiency. In order to validate performance analysis, a prototype is built with 42-54 V / 15 A output values at a 200 kHz switching frequency. The measured maximum efficiency values are obtained as 94.4% and 76.6% at full and at 2% load conditions, respectively.

This paper presents the study on the development of the power factor correction convener with ZVT Boost converter, which is better than the conventional PWM Boost converter to increase the switching frequency for high density and lower stress of switch. A simple DC and small signal model for the power factor correction converter with constant switching frequency is derived. The guide line for design of controller is summarized.

This paper presents a design and parallel control strategy of 1.8 kW low-voltage DC-DC converter (LDC) for mild hybrid electric vehicles to improve their power density, system efficiency, and operation stability. Topology and control scheme are important on the LDC for mild hybrid electric vehicles to achieve high system efficiency and power density because of their very low voltage and large current in input and output terminals. Therefore, the optimal topological structure and control algorithm are examined, and a detailed design methodology for the power and control stages is presented. A working sample of 1.8 kW LDC is designed and implemented by applying the adopted topology and control strategy. Experimental results indicate 92.45% of the maximum efficiency and 560 W/l of power density.

This paper presents a new PWM DC/DC converter with dual output power using single power stage, which has the isolation characteristics between each dual output. The proposed converter topology consists of two switches ($S_B$ and $S_F$) and only single secondary winding. Therefore, the proposed converter has better advantages of not only low cost and small size but also high power density because of using minimum components and devices compared with conventional methods which use multi winding transformers or several converters. The operating principle of the proposed converter topology, which includes the conventional auxiliary ZVT (Zero-Voltage-Transition) circuit to implement soft switching of the main switch, is illustrated in detail and the validity of the proposed converter is verified through several simulated and experimental results.

본 논문에서는 두 개의 무손실 스너버 셀을 제안하여 고주파에서 동작할 수 있는 컨버터를 일반화하였다. 컨버터 구현 시 스너버 셀의 선택은 컨버터 구조에 따라서 결정된다. 스너버 셀의 구성은 한 개의 포화 인덕터와 LC 공진회로, 두 개의 다이오드로 구성된다. 인덕터는 컨버터 주 다이오드의 역회복 손실을 저감시키는 역할을 하는데 포화 인덕터를 사용하면 셀 내의 공진 에너지를 감소시켜 컨버터가 고주파에서 동작될 수 있는 특성을 갖는다. 컨버터의 일반화는 무손실 스너버 셀을 벅(Buck), 부스트(Boost), 벅-부스트(Busk-Boost), 척(Cuk), 제타(ZETA) 및 세픽(SEPIC)에 추가하여 실현하였다. 제안된 컨버터의 고주파 동작 및 고효율 특성은 400 kHz, 125 W 부하에서 실험하여 기존의 PWM 컨버터에 비하여 고효율로 동작함을 확인하였다.

This paper proposes a three-level LLC resonant converter using integrated magnetics (IM). Given that the switch voltage stress of the proposed converter is guaranteed to be half of the input voltage, the switching losses can be greatly reduced, thereby benefitting the high-frequency operation. To reduce the volume of reactive components such as transformers, high-frequency driving and planar core are applied. However, two resonant inductors and one transformer are required because of the three-level structure and the limited leakage inductance of the planar transformer for the resonant operation. Therefore, the effect of volume reduction is not very large. In order to solve these drawbacks, this paper proposes a new IM that integrates all magnetic elements used in the proposed three-level resonant converter by using the magnetizing inductor as a resonant inductor. The experimental results are presented by conducting a theoretical analysis of a prototype with 350 W to 800 kHz.
