본 논문은 dual half bridge converter와 full-bridge converter가 결합된 절연형 양방향 컨버터를 제안하였다. 기존의 전류원 컨버터는 스위치가 턴-오프 시 전압 스파이크 문제가 발생한다. 이와 같은 문제를 해결하기 위해 절연형 양방향 컨버터에 공진 커패시터와 공진 인덕터를 추가하였다. 추가된 공진 소자들에 의해 준공진이 발생하고 이를 이용하여 스위치의 zero voltage switching (ZVS)조건을 충족시킬 수 있다. 그 결과 제안된 컨버터의 모든 스위치는 소프트 스위칭을 달성하고 전압 스파이크 문제를 해결 할 수 있다. 이를 이론적인 분석과 시뮬레이션을 통해 검증하였다.

Recently the PDP is the most remarkable media for a next generation display device. In this paper, we proposed the PDP dedicated AC-DC converter using quasi resonant method because the PDP has a lot of power dissipation so we need to develope. The proposed converter using one transformer has soft switching and a advantage to lower voltage stress in switch and also is predicted to have high power efficiency, we proposed the principles and theory using the zero voltage switching and verified the validity through a experiment.

A single-stage power factor correction AC/DC converter with a simple link voltage suppressing circuit (LVSC) for the universal line application is proposed. Using this simple circuit, a low link voltage can be realized without deadbands at line zero-crossings. The proposed converter is analyzed and a prototype converter with 5V, 12A output is implemented to verify the performance. The experimental results show that the link voltage stress and efficiency are about 447V and 81%, respectively.

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.

This paper is a record of the study on a high efficiency and high power chopper based on the new soft switching method QRAS (Quasi~resonant Regenerating Active Snubber) designed for a Fuel Cell Electric Vehicle (FCEV). This power chopper is basically proposed for 25kHz soft switching. To confirm the practicality and effectiveness of the converter, the fabrication of a prototype-model using IGBTs was completed. Additionally, a 8kW rating test, a light load test, a current discontinuous mode test and a stable operation resonance test was completed. The circuit geometry, the basic operation, and the 8kW one-tenth-prototype test results are reported with a $97.5\%$ efficiency measurement.

핸드폰, 노트북 빛 태블릿 PC와 같이 휴대할 수 있는 전자기기의 사용량이 높아질수록 대용량의 배터리를 필요로 하게 된다. 배터리 사양이 높아질수록 대용량의 배터리를 빠르게 충전시키는 어댑터 (Adapter)는 필수 요구 사항이 되었다. 고속 충전을 하기 위해선 높은 전류 공급 능력이 필요하며, 휴대성을 높이기 위해서 사이즈를 최소화하여 설계되어야 한다. 고효율 및 고밀도를 요구하는 시장에 걸맞게, 어댑터 시장 역시 Topology부터 사용 소자까지 많은 발전 중에 있다. 어댑터에 사용되는 대표적인 Topology는 절연에 용이하며 회로구조가 간단한 저비용, 고효율 Flyback Converter 회로가 기본적으로 사용된다. 하지만, 이 구조는 스위칭 주기마다 스위치 양단 전압 및 전류의 중첩에 의한 스위칭 손실이 불가피 하다는 단점이 존재한다. 그 단점을 보완하기 위해 RCD 스너버로 클램핑을 시켜줌과 동시에 변압기의 자화 인덕턴스와 스위치의 기생 커패시터의 공진 현상을 이용하여 스위치 양단 전압 V_DS가 최소화되는 지점에서 다음 스위칭 동작을 수행하는 QR(Quasi-Resonant) Flyback Converter를 사용한 어댑터가 시장에서 주로 보였다. 하지만 QR Flyback Converter 역시 기존 방식보다 유리하지만 이 또한 스위칭 주파수 증가에 따른 한계가 존재한다. 따라서 현재는 영전압 스위칭 (Zero Voltage Switching, ZVS)이 가능한 ACF(Active Clamp Flyback) Converter 회로의 연구 개발이 활발히 진행되고 있다. 이때 스위칭 특성이 우수한 GaN-FET를 적용한 어댑터가 시장에 출시되고 있다. 특히, 이 시장에서는 GaN 소자를 적용한 어댑터를 차세대 전력 반도체 적용이라는 마케팅에도 이용되는 것을 확인할 수 있다.

The system efficiency of the proposed Buck-Boost AC-DC converter is increased by soft switching method. The converter includes to merit of power factor correction (PFC) from sinusoidal control of input current. The switching behavior of control switches operates with soft switching by partial resonance, and then the proposed converter has high system efficiency with decrement of switching power loss. The input current waveform in proposed converter is got to be a sinusoidal form of discontinuous quasi-pulse row in proportion to magnitude of AC input voltage under the constant duty cycle switching. Therefore, the input power factor is nearly unity. The output voltage of the converter is regulated by PWM control technique. The discontinuous mode action of current flowing into inductor makes to simplify control method and control components. The proposed PFC Buck-Boost converter is analyzed to compare with the conventional PFC Buck-Boost converter. Some computer simulative results and experimental results confirm to the validity of the analytical results.
