This paper describes the improvement in converter efficiency by reducing the switching loss and by recovering the snubber stored energy. A capacitive based passive regenerative snubber circuit is modeled for a dc-dc boost converter. The proposed snubber is mainly used to reduce the turn-off loss of the main switch. The energy recovery process and the turn-off loss depends on the size of the snubber capacitance; therefore, the conventional and the proposed converters are designed for high and low input voltage conditions with different sizes of the snubber capacitance. Based on the results obtained, the snubber capacitors are classified as small, normal and large snubbers. The Matlab simulation results obtained are presented.

본 논문에서는 cascode GaN FET의 하프 브릿지 구성에서 오실레이션 억제를 위한 RC 스너버 회로 설계 기술을 분석한다. 대표적인 WBG 소자인 cascode GaN FET는 우수한 고속 스위칭 특성이 우수하다. 다만, 이러한 고속 스위칭 특성으로 인하여 false turn-off 문제가 야기되며, 이를 억제하기 위해 RC 스너버 회로가 필수적이다. 따라서, 일반적으로 많이 사용되는 실험 기반의 선정 기법과 근궤적법을 이용한 분석 기법을 비교한다. 일반적인 방법의 경우 실험적 경험을 바탕으로 오실레이션 억제 성능이 만족될 때까지 지속적인 회로 변경이 필요하다. 하지만, 근궤적 기법의 경우 비진동 R-C 맵을 기반으로 초기값을 설정 할 수 있다. 이러한 설계 기술에 따른 성능을 비교하기 위해 모의실험과 실제 더블 펄스 회로 구성을 통한 실험을 진행하였다.

This paper proposes a novel switching method of active clamp snubber for efficiency improvement of PV module integrated converter(MIC) system. Recently, MIC solar system is researched about the efficiency and safety. PV MIC system is used active clamp method of snubber circuit for the price and reliability of the system. But active clamp snubber circuit has the disadvantage that system efficiency is decreased for switch operating time because of heat loss of resonant between snubber capacitor and leakage inductance. To solve this problem, this paper proposes a novel switching method of the active clamp. The proposed method is a technique to reduce power consumption by reducing the resonance of the snubber switch operation time and through simulations and experiments proved the validity.

This paper describes the analysis of the operation of the switched snubber in order to depress the surge voltage in the MOS-FET inverter. In this paper, the N-channel MOS-FET which operates faster than the P-channel MOS-FET was used for the inverter circuit. So, the inverter and switched snubber can operate at high-frequency in the order of MHz. The cause of generating the surge voltage in the high frequency inverter has been cleared, and then how to depress the surge voltage using the switched snubber consisting of an N-channel MOS-FET has been given. Furthermore, described is the power loss within the switched snubber which is made of an N-channel MOS-FET. The inverter having the N-channel MOS-FET used as a switched snubber can drive such a low impedance load such as mega-sonic transducer for a mega-sonic studied cleaner sufficiently.

When the MOSPET is applied as a switching device for the resonant inverter, a damped oscillating noise is appeared at specific frequency band. This damped Oscillation is caused by the series and parallel resonance due to distributed circuit parameter of snubber and main circuit. This paper describes the frequency-impedance characteristic of the resonant inverter and optimal snubber design strategy to reduce the RF noise.

In this paper, soft switching high power factor buck converter is proposed. This converter is composed of diode rectifier, a input capacitor can be small enough to filter input capacitor can be small enough to filter input current, buck converter with loss less snubber circuit. Converter is operated in discontinous conduction mode, turn of of the switching device is a zero current switching(ZCS) and high power factor input is obtained. In addition, zero voltage switching(ZVS) at turn of is achieved and switching loss is reduced using loss less snubber circuit. The capacitor used in the snubber circuit raised output voltage. Therefore, proposed converter has higher output voltage and higher efficiency than conventional buck type converter at same duty factor in discontious conduction mode operation.

전력변환 시스템은 소형화, 경량화, 저잡음화를 실현하기 위하여 스위칭 주파수가 증대되어야 한다. 하지만 컨버터의 스위치들은 스위칭 스트레스와 많은 스위칭 전력손실을 동반한다. 이들 때문에 전력 시스템은 낮은 효율을 가져온다. 본 논문에서는 부분공진 모드에 의해 고효율의 승압형 단상 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 회로의 소자들은 소프트 스위칭으로 동작되며 이것의 제어기술은 일정 듀티 싸이클에서 동작되도록 스위치군을 간략화 하였다. 부분공진 회로는 승강압에 사용되는 인덕터와 무손실 스너버의 콘덴서를 사용한다. 또한, 이 회로는 종래의 회로가 가지는 스너버의 손실이 없는 스너버 콘덴서에 축적된 에너지를 입력전원 측으로 회생시킴으로서 효율증대의 장점이 있다. 그 결과 스위칭 손실이 매우 낮고 효율과 시스템 역률이 높게 된다. 제안된 컨버터는 전력용 스위칭 소자들이 사용되는 고출력의 응용분야에 가장 적합하다고 생각된다.
