  • An active clamp ZVS PWM forward converter using a secondary synchronous switch control is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter is suitable for low-voltage and high-current applications. The structure of the proposed converter is the same as a conventional active clamp forward converter. However, since it controls the secondary synchronous switch to build up the primary current during a very short period of time, the ZVS operation is easily achieved without any additional conduction losses of magnetizing current in the transformer and clamp circuit. Furthermore, there are no additional circuits required for the ZVS operation of power switches. Therefore, the proposed converter can achieve high efficiency with low EMI noise, resulting from soft switching without any additional conduction losses, and shows high power dens~ty, a result of high efficiency, and requires no additional components. The operational principle and design example are presented. Experimental results demonstrate that the proposed converter can achieve an excellent ZVS performance throughout all load conditions and demonstrates significant improvement in efficiency for the 100W (5V, 20A) prototype converter.

  • Recently, LED light has been increasingly adopted for vehicles in both domestic and foreign automotive markets, while a variety of LED lights have been developed to be used particularly for headlamps. In this paper, we propose an H-type resonant snubber circuit topology for high efficiency of vehicle LDM (LED Driver Module) and realized LDM functions for vehicle headlamp by designing high-efficiency convertors. In addition, this study reduced the financial burden by configuring the system to control the whole with micom except for the use of individual dedicated chips to drive LED for high and low beam. In order to verify the validity of the proposed H-type resonant snubber capable of soft switching, simulations were performed using PSIM. As a result, the validity was experimentally verified by creating a prototype. Moreover, in order to actually attach the headlamp, the performance of the proposed convertor was confirmed by designing LDM to the limited size. Communications between the headlamp and higher controller were realized using LIN(Local Interconnect Network).

  • 본연구는 부스트형 대기압 플라즈마 전원장치에 대한 연구로서 부스트형 전원장치는 플라즈마의 발생을 원활하게 하기위해 커패시터로 모델링되는 부하단에 인가되는 전압을 직접 제어하는 방식을 의미한다. 기존의 정현파 공진형 전원장치는 PWM기법을 이용하여 펄스의 폭을 증감하는 방식으로 전압의 크기를 제어하지만 이 방식은 별도의 공진회로를 이용하여 공진을 일으킨 다음 이를 부하에 인가하는 방식으로 구성되기 때문에 속응성이 떨어지고 균일한 플라즈마를 발생시키기 어렵다. 부스트형 전원장치는 별도의 부스트 컨버터로 직류전압을 제어하여 부하단에 입력되는 전압을 직접 제어하므로 매우 균일한 플라즈마를 발생시킬 수 있는 이점이 있으나 별도의 부스트용 스위치가 필요하고 이로 인한 효율의 감소 및 사이즈의 증가가 되는 문제점이 생긴다. 본 연구에서는 커패시터로 모델링되는 부하를 이용하여 직접 공진을 일으키고 공진된 부하 전압을 직접 부스트 스위치에 인가시키는 방식으로 부스트용 스위치의 소프트 스위칭이 가능한 새로운 방식을 개발하였다. 개발된 방식에서는 부스트용 스위치가 ZCS형태로 켜지고 ZVS형태로 꺼지는 특성을 갖게 되므로 별도의 추가 회로 없이도 획기적인 효율 증가와 방열판 사이즈의 감소로 인한 제품의 경량화가 가능한 장점이 있다. 또한, DC링크 커패시터의 최소화로 인하여 부하단의 아크 문제가 자동적으로 해결되는 장점도 있다. 제안된 제어 방식은 시뮬레이션과 실험으로 그 타당성을 입증하였다.

  • This paper presents a pulse-width adjustment (PWA) strategy for a novel bidirectional DC-DC boost converter to improve the performance of the dynamic inductor current response. This novel converter consists of three main components: a full-bridge converter (FBC), a high-frequency isolated transformer with large leakage inductance, and a three-level voltage-doubler rectifier (VDR). A number of scholars have analyzed the principles, such as the soft-switching performance and high-efficiency characteristic, of this converter based on pulse-width modulation plus phase-shift (PPS) control. It turns out that this converter is suitable for energy storage applications and exhibits good performance. However, the dynamic inductor current response processes of control variable adjustment is not analyzed in this converter. In fact, dc component may occur in the inductor current during its dynamic response process, which can influence the stability and reliability of the converter system. The dynamic responses under different operating modes of a conventional feedforward control are discussed in this paper. And a PWA strategy is proposed to enhance the dynamic inductor current response performance of the converter. This paper gives a detailed design and implementation of the PWA strategy. The proposed strategy is verified through a series of simulation and experimental results.

  • Multiple output converters (MOCs) are widely used for applications which require various levels of the output voltages due to their benefits in cost, volume, and efficiency. However, most of the MOCs developed so far can regulate only one output tightly and require as many secondary windings in the transformer as the number of the outputs. In this paper, a novel Time Division Multiple Control (TDMC) method to regulate all the outputs in high precision is proposed and applied for the multiple output battery charger based on the phase shift full bridge topology to charge a multiple number of batteries at one time. The proposed converter can charge three different kinds of batteries or same kind of batteries in different state of charges (SOCs) by using constant current/constant voltage (CC/CV) charge mode independently. At the same time it can provide an even degree of tight regulation for each output to satisfy the strict ripple requirement of the battery. The validity and feasibility of the proposed method are verified through the experiments.

  • A bidirectional full-bridge CLLC resonant converter using a digital control method is proposed for a LVDC power distribution system. This converter can operate under high power conversion efficiency since the CLLC resonant network has soft switching capability for primary switches and output rectifiers. In addition, the power conversion efficiency of any directions is exactly the same as each other because of the symmetric structure of the converter. Intelligent digital control methods are proposed to regulate output voltage under any power flow directions. A 5kW prototype converter was designed for a high-frequency galvanic isolation of 380V dc buses using a digital signal processor to verify the performance of the proposed topology and algorithms.

  • A family of non-isolated DC-DC three-port converters (TPCs) that allows for a more flexible power flow among a renewable energy source, an energy storage device and a current-reversible DC bus is introduced. Most of the reported non-isolated topologies in this area consider only a power consuming load. However, for applications such as hybrid-electric vehicle braking systems and DC microgrids, the load power generating capability should also be considered. The proposed three-port family consists of one unidirectional port and two bi-directional ports. Hence, they are well-suited for photovoltaic (PV)-battery-DC bus systems from the power flow viewpoint. Three-port converters are derived by combining different commonly known power converters in an integrated manner while considering the voltage polarity, voltage levels among the ports and the overall voltage conversion ratio. The derived converter topologies are able to allow for seven different modes of operation among the sources and load. A three-port converter which integrates a boost converter with a buck converter is used as a design example. Extensions of these topologies by combining the soft-switching technique with the proposed design example are also presented. Experiment results are given to verify the proposed three-port converter family and its analysis.

  • A highly sensitive magnetic sensor using the Giant MagnetoImpedance effect has been developed. The sensor performance is studied and estimated. The sensor circuitry consists of a square wave generator (driving source), a sensing element in a form of composite wire of a 25 $\mu$m copper core electrodeposited with a thin layer of soft magnetic material ($Ni_{80}Fe_{20}$), and two amplifier stages for improving the gain, switching mechanism, scaler circuit, an AC power source driving the permeability of the magnetic coating layer of the sensing element into a dynamic state, and a signal pickup LC circuit formed by a pickup coil and an capacitor. Experimental studies on sensor have been carried out to investigate the key parameters in relation to the sensor sensitivity and resolution. The results showed that for high sensitivity and resolution, the frequency and magnitude of the ac driving current through the sensing element each has an optimum value, the resonance frequency of the signal pickup LC circuit should be equal to or twice as the driving frequency on the sensing element, and the anisotropy of the magnetic coating layer of the sensing wire element should be longitudinal.
