Abstract

In this paper a new zero current transition pulse width modulation (ZCT-PWM) buck converter is proposed to combine the desirable feature of both the conventional buck converter and resonant converters. In this proposed scheme an auxiliary circuit is added to the conventional buck converter and used to achieve soft-switching for both the main switch and the freewheeling diode while not incurring any additional losses due to auxiliary circuit And this converter operates exactly like the conventional PWM converter except for a short particular time interval. The operation of the proposed converter is explained and analyzed. and design guidelines are presented. To validate the feasibility of the proposed converter, a 100KHz 180-W prototype is built and tested.

본 논문에서는, 기존의 PWM 방식의 컨버터와 공진형 컨버터의 단점을 보완하면서 이들의 장점을 가지는 새로운 형태의 ZCT 벅 컨버터를 소개한다. 제안한 회로는 기존의 벅 컨버터에 보조화를 추가하여 주 스위치와 다이로드의 스위칭천이 순간에만 소프트 스위칭 조건을 제공함으로써 전체적인 동작은 벅 컨버터와 동일하게 된다. 아울러 보조회로에서의 부가적인 손실은 존재하지 않는다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 회로의 동작을 분석하고 이를 바탕으로 보조회로에서의 소자값 결정에 도움이 되는 설계 방식을 제공한다. 또한 제안한 회로의 동작 및 유용성을 확인하기 위하여 실험을 행하였다.
