This paper introduces a novel ZVS interleaved totem-pole PFC with the reduced circulating current and the reverse recovery current of the diodes. With the help of a simple auxiliary inductor, both ZVS turn-on of the main switches and soft turn-off of the body diodes can be achieved. In the proposed totem-pole PFC topology since the switching losses and the reverse recovery losses can be significantly reduced, the typical Si MOSFETs can be employed. In addition the circulating current is reduced by adjusting the switching frequency. The proposed PFC topology can be a low cost solution to achieve high efficiency in high power PFC applications. The validity and the feasibility of the proposed topology is verified by the experimental results with a 3.3kW interleaved totem-pole PFC converter.

The superiority of gallium nitride FET (GaN FET) over silicon MOSFET is examined in this paper. One of the outstanding features of GaN FET is low reverse-recovery charge, which enables continuous conduction mode operation of totem-pole bridgeless boost power factor correction (PFC) circuit. Among many bridgeless topologies, totem-pole bridgeless shows high efficiency and low conducted electromagnetic interference performance, with low cost and simple control scheme. The operation principle, control scheme, and circuit implementation of the proposed topology are provided. The converter is driven in two-module interleaved topology to operate at a power level of 5.5 kW, whereas phase-shedding control is adopted for light load efficiency improvement. Negative bias circuit is used in gate drivers to avoid the shoot-through induced by high speed switching. The superiority of GaN FET is verified by constructing a 5.5 kW prototype of two-module interleaved totem-pole bridgeless boost PFC converter. The experiment results show the highest efficiency of 98.7% at 1.6 kW load and an efficiency of 97.7% at the rated load.

본 논문에서는 스위칭 손실을 저감한 고주파 인터리브드 토템폴 브리지리스 부스트 PFC 컨버터를 제안한다. 인터리브드 토템폴 브리지리스 부스트 PFC 컨버터는 하드 스위칭 동작을 하기 때문에 큰 스위칭 손실을 가지며, 고주파에서의 동작이 제한된다. 제안하는 컨버터는 수동 소자인 인덕터가 추가된 구조이며, 추가 인덕터의 에너지를 이용해 영전압 스위칭을 할 수 있다. 그 결과, 스위칭 손실이 저감되고 고주파 동작이 가능해진다. 또한 기존에 설계된 회로와 제어단을 그대로 유지할 수 있다.
