Abstract

This paper presents the two-switch interleaved active clamp forward converter, which is mainly composed of two active clamp forward converters. Only two switches are required, and each one is the auxiliary switch for the other. So, the circuit complexity and cost are reduced and control is more simple. An additional resonant inductance is employed to achieve ZVS(Zero-Voltage-Switching) during the dead times. Interleaved output inductor currents diminish the voltage and current ripple. Accordingly, the smaller output filter and capacitors lower the converter volume. This research proposed the Two-switch interleaved Active Clamp Forward Converter characteristic. The principle of operation, feature and design considerations is illustrated and the validity of verified through the experiment with a 160[W] based experimental circuit.

본 논문에서는 2개의 액티브 클램프 포워드 컨버터로 구성된 투 스위치 인터리브 액티브 클램프 포워드 컨버터를 제안하고자 한다. 제안된 컨버터는 단지 2개의 스위치만을 필요로 하며, 각 스위치는 상호 보조스위치로서 동작하기 때문에 회로의 구성이 간단하고 저비용의 용이한 제어를 특징으로 한다. 아울러 부가적인 공진 인덕터로 인하여 데드타임 동안에 영전압 스위칭 동작이 가능하다. 제안된 컨버터는 인터리브 동작으로 인하여 출력 전압 및 전류 리플이 저감되므로 출력 필터의 크기를 줄일 수 있으며, 그로인하여 컨버터의 부피를 감소시킬 수 있다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 투 스위치 인터리브 액티브 클램프 포워드 컨버터의 모드별 해석과 특성을 논의하였으며, 160[W]급 시작품을 제작하여 그 타당성을 검증하였다.
