The shortcomings of zero-voltage-transition PWM converter is discussed and a new family of topologies of zero-voltage-transition PWM converter with soft-switched auxiliary switch is introduced. The experiments on a 290W boost converter and a 100W forward converter are carried out to prove the circuit. The efficiency increment of the new circuits are 2-5% comparing to hard switching circuits, and the switching noise is also greatly reduced.

In this paper a family of zero current transition PWM converters which employs a simple auxiliary circuit is introduced. This soft switched auxiliary circuit is only composed of a switch and a capacitor. The proposed converters are analyzed and various operating modes of the ZCT flyback converter are discussed. Design considerations are presented and the experimental results of the ZCT flyback converter laboratory prototype are illustrated. The experimental results confirm the validity of theoretical analysis.

This paper presents a new approach to obtaining a reduced-order model for multi-module converters. The proposed approach can be used to derive the reduced-order model for a wide class of multi-module converters including pulse-width-modulated (PWM) converters, soft-switched PWM converters, and resonant converters. The reduced-order model has the structure of a conventional single-module converter while preserving the dynamics of the original multi-module converter. Derivation procedures and the use of the reduced-order model is demonstrated using a three-module boost converter.

This paper presents a Class-D type switched mode audio power amplifier employing ZVT(Zero-Voltage-Transition) soft switching technique. In order to obtain a wide bandwidth and lower distortion for an audio amplifier a high switching frequency is essential. The ZVT switching scheme enables a high frequency switching without sacrificing the efficiency much as in a hard switching. A prototype amplifier is built to demonstrate the feasibility of this technique for the audio power amplifier.

본 논문에서는 인덕터가 없는 비대칭 PWM 제어 방식의 풀브리지 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안한 컨버터는 위상천이 방식과 달리 순환전류가 없이 스위치 및 다이오드가 항시 에너지를 전달하여 도통손실이 작다. 전압 더블러 구조로서 다이오드의 전압정격이 작고 역방향 회복에 의한 전압 서지가 거의 없어 스너버가 필요 없다. 기존 컨버터와의 비교 분석을 수행하였으며 시뮬레이션을 통해 본 방식의 타당성을 검증하였다.

A new soft switched active snubber circuit is proposed to achieve zero voltage and zero current switching for all the switching devices in PWM DC-DC converters. The unique location of the snubber and inductor ensures low current/voltage stresses and commutation losses. With a saturable reactor, the conduction loss of auxiliary switch could be further minimized. A boost converter adopting this technique is presented as an example, to illuminate its operation principles and derive the design procedures. Simulation and hardware implementation have been made to validate its performance. Some other basic PWM DC-DC topologies using the proposed snubber have also been given.

In conventional Zero-Voltage-Transition(ZVT) PWM converters, zero-voltage turn-on and turn-off for main switch without increasing voltage/current stresses is achieved at a fixed frequency. The switching loss, stress, and noise, however, can't be minimized because they adopt auxiliary switches turned off under hard-switching condition. In this paper, new ZVS-PWM converters of which both active and passive switches are always operating with soft-switching condition are proposed. Therefore, the proposed ZVS-PWM converters are most suitable for avionics applications requiring high-power density. Breadboarded ZVS-PWM boost converters using power MOSFET are constructed to verify theoretical analysis.

본 논문은 고속 전동기의 효율 개선을 위한 재료로서 많은 관심을 받고 있는 연자성 분말(Soft Magnetic Composite, SMC)을 적용한 고속 2상 4/2 스위치드 릴럭턴스 전동기 설계 및 SMC 재질이 효율 특성에 미치는 영향 분석에 대한 연구이다. 고속 전동기의 효율 개선을 위한 재료로써 많은 관심을 받고 있는 SMC는 자계적으로 등방성을 띠며, 절연 코팅이 되어 있는 철 분말들로 구성되어 있어 높은 주파수에서 전기 강판 대비 높은 전기 저항으로 와전류 손실을 최소화 할 수 있으며 분말을 압분하여 형상을 만들기 때문에 자유로운 3차원 설계 및 제작이 용이하고 제조 시 재료 소비의 절감과 재활용이 가능한 장점이 있다. 그러나 전기 강판 대비 낮은 비투자율, 낮은 기계적 강도, 저주파 대역에서 높은 철손 특성의 단점을 가지고 있어 SMC를 이용한 전자계 구조 설계 시 낮은 비투자율 특성과 뛰어난 와전류 손실 저감 특성 사이의 균형을 고려할 필요가 있다. 따라서 본 논문에서는 전기 강판을 사용하는 일반적인 2상 4/2 스위치드 릴럭턴스 전동기와의 비교를 통해 SMC 재질 적용이 정적 토크 및 효율 특성에 미치는 영향을 비교분석하여 설계를 진행하였다.

This study examines the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) operation of an active-clamped forward converter (ACFC) with a current-doubler rectifier (CDR). The ZVS condition can be obtained with a much smaller leakage inductance compared to that of a conventional ACFC. Due to the significantly reduced leakage inductance, the design is optimized and the circulating loss is reduced. The operation of the ACFC with a CDR is analyzed, and a detailed ZVS analysis is conducted on the basis of a steady-state analysis. From the results, a design consideration for ZVS improvement is presented. Loss analyses of the converters shows that enhanced soft-switching contributes to an efficiency improvement under light-load condition. Experimental results from a 100-W (5-V/20-A) prototype verify that the ACFC with a CDR can attain ZVS across an extended load range of loads and achieve a higher efficiency than conventional ACFCs.
