Considerations of Buck+Half Bridge Converter characteristics

벅+하프 브리지 컨버터의 효율 특성 고찰

We considered of the efficiency for the Buck+Half bridge converter, this converter has advantages of applications for a low output voltage, a high output current and a wide input voltage. Developed the Buck+Half Bridge converter ratings are of $36{\sim}72V$ input and 3.3V/30A output. In Half Bridge converter the $86{\sim}96.4%$ of the efficiency is measured at 100kHz switching frequency with PQI core. In the case of synchronized the Buck+Half Bridge converter, the measured efficiency is higher than the unsynchronized converter. In the synchronized Buck+Half Bridge, the maximum efficiency is up to 92.3% with PQI core at 100kHz, 7A output.
