This paper analyzed PFC of active clamp ZVS flyback converter by adding two methods PFC (power Factor Correction) circuit - two-stage and single-stage. The addition of active clamp circuit also provides a mechanism for achieving ZVS of both the primary and auxiliary switches. ZVS also limits the turn off di/dt of the output rectifier, reducing rectifier-switching loss and switching noise, due to diode reverse recovery. As a result, the proposed converters have characteristics of the reduced switching noise and high efficiency in comparison to conventional flyback converter. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed converter improve the input PF of 300W ZVS flyback converter by adding single-stage, two-stage PFC circuit.

In this paper, a Single-phase Active Rectifier(SAR) with high power factor capability for inverter air-conditioner is adopted for satisfying the international standards of input current harmonics, IEC 1000-3-2. Comparing the conventional boost power factor correction circuit, one diode drop is reduced in the power flow path of the SAR circuit, so the system efficiency is improved. To apply the control IC, such as UC3854, ML4821 and so forth, to the SAR, the adequate sensing circuits are proposed. The design rules of passive components and two control loops are also presented. The prototype SAR circuit with 3㎾ power consumption is builted and tested to verify the operation of the proposed circuit.

A transformerless converter suitable for multiphase drive application is presented in this paper. The topology employs a cascaded H-bridge rectifier as the interface between the grid and multi inverters which drive the multiphase motor. Compared with the conventional structure, the new topology eliminates the input transformer and also has the advantages such as four quadrant operation, simple configuration, low cost, high efficiency, and so on. The control strategies for the grid-side cascade H-bridge rectifier and the motor-side inverter are studied accordingly. Based on the multi-rotational reference frame, modular control scheme is developed to regulate the multiphase drive system. Simulation results show the proper operation of the proposed topology and the corresponding control strategy.

본 논문에서는, 결합 인덕터 정류단을 갖는 위상천이 풀브릿지 컨버터에 적용할 수 있는 새로운 동기정류기 제어 기법을 제안한다. 결합 인덕터 정류단을 활용하면 1차측 환류 전류를 감소 시켜 도통 손실을 줄일 수 있지만, 동시에 줄어든 전류로 인하여 레깅-레그 스위치의 영전압 스위칭을 달성하기 어려워진다. 이를 해결하기 위하여 변압기의 자화 전류를 이용할 수 있지만, 컨버터가 넓은 출력 전압 범위로 설계되는 경우 낮은 시비율을 기준으로 작게 설계된 자화 인덕턴스로 인하여, 높은 시비율로 구동 시 과도한 자화 전류로 인한 불필요한 도통 손실이 증가하는 문제점을 갖는다. 제안하는 제어 기법은 기존 동기정류기 제어와 달리 동기정류기를 기존보다 먼저 구동시켜 1차측에 환류 전류를 순간적으로 재생성할 수 있고, 이를 이용하여 레깅-레그 스위치의 영전압 스위칭을 달성할 수 있다. 따라서, 작은 자화 전류로 영전압 스위칭을 달성할 수 있으므로 1차측의 도통 손실을 줄여 높은 효율을 얻을 수 있다. 제안하는 동기정류기 제어 기법의 효용성을 증명하기 위하여, 400V 입력, 27-54V/13A 출력에서 실험 검증을 진행하였다.

In this paper, efficiency and loss characteristics of GaN FET were reported by applying it into the QR flyback converter. In particular, for the comparison of efficiency characteristics, QR flyback converter experimental circuits with Si FET and with GaN FET were separately produced in 12W class. As a result of the experiment, the experimental circuit of the QR flyback converter using GaN FET reached a high efficiency of 90% or more when the load power was 2W or more, and the maximum efficiency was observed to be about 92%, and the maximum loss power was about 1.1W. Meanwhile, the efficiency of the experimental circuit with Si FET increased as the input voltage increased, and the maximum efficiency was observed to be about 82% when the load power was 9W or higher, and the maximum loss power was about 2.8W. From the results, it is estimated that that in the case of the experimental circuit applying the GaN FET switch, the power conversion efficiency was improved as the switching loss and conduction loss due to on-resistance were reduced, and the internal loss due to the synchronous rectifier was minimized. Consequently, it is concluded that the GaN FET is suitable for under 20W class power supply unit as a high efficiency power switch.

Recently, new trend in telecommunication device is to apply low voltage, about 3.3V-1.5V. However, it is undesirable in view of high efficiency and power desity which is the most important requirement in the distributed power system. Rectification loss in the output stage, in on-board converter for distributed power system are constrained to obtain high efficience at low output voltage power suppies. This paper explains the basic operational principles of three kinds of ZVS DC/DC converters with self-driven synchronous rectifier. The three topologies are analyzed by simulation and exprimentation, and the characteristics comparisons of high efficience converter are carried out in view of the minimized rectification losses in the out stage.

A new high efficiency active clamp forward converter suitable for the sustaining power module(SPM) of a plasma display panel (PDP) is proposed. It has a wide zero voltage switching (ZVS) range without inserting additional resonant inductor. Also, it features simpler structure, lower cost, less mass, and no effective duty loss. Furthermore, voltages across all rectifier diodes are clamped on the output voltage, which results in a higher efficiency.
