긴 수명과 높은 효율로 차세대 조명기구로 사용되는 LED를 구동하기 위하여, 일반적으로 역률 보정을 위한 PFC 단과 출력 조절을 위한 DC/DC 단이 직렬로 연결된 구조를 사용하게 된다. 이때 PFC 과정에서 DC 링크 전압이 120Hz 전압 맥동을 갖게 되는데, 이는 DC/DC 단에도 영향을 주며 최종 출력전류 역시 120Hz 저주파 맥동을 갖게 된다. 본 논문은 LED 조명용 LLC 공진 컨버터의 120Hz 저주파 맥동 전류 리플을 저감 방법에 관한 연구이다. 기존 제어기에 전류 리플을 보상하여 제어하는 방법에 대하여 설명하고 시뮬레이션을 통해 이를 확인한다.

The method for the current equalization of the rectifier diodes in LLC resonant converter is proposed. The method decreases the current difference between the rectifier diodes using the auxiliary winding of the transformer and asymmetrical pulse width modulation (APWM). The analytical reason of the current unbalance is investigated and the operation principle of the proposed method and APWM control loop are explained. The performance of the proposed method was verified on a 480-W, 400-V/24-V dc/dc converter.

본 논문은 중용량에 적합한 새로운 이중출력 LLC 공진형 DC/DC 컨버터에 관한 것으로써, 별도의 Post-regulator및 추가되는 제어 IC 없이 정밀한 이중출력이 가능한 새로운 방식의 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 컨버터의 제어방식은 펄스폭 변조(PWM)와 동시에 주파수 변조(PFM)를 통해 이루어지며 Master 와 Slave 출력을 각각 주파수, 듀티로 제어함으로써 Slave 출력을 위한 별도의 Post-Regulator 및 제어 IC가 필요 없기 때문에, 저가의 컨버터 구현이 가능하다. 또한 기존 LLC 공진형 DC/DC 컨버터와 같이 스위칭 소자의 영전압 스위칭이 보장되는 동시에, Post-Regulator 로 인한 손실이 없기 때문에 효율 및 발열 특성이 매우 우수하다. 본 논문에서는 제안된 컨버터의 우수성과 신뢰성 검증을 위해, 실제로 50" FHD급 PDP용 전원회로를 위한 시작품을 제작하고 이를 이용한 실험결과를 바탕으로 제안된 컨버터의 타당성을 검증한다.

This paper presents a new hybrid soft switching dc-dc converter with a low circulating current and high circuit efficiency. The proposed hybrid converter includes two sub-converters sharing two power switches. One is a three-level PWM converter and the other is a LLC converter. The LLC converter and the three-level converter share the lagging-leg switches and extend the zero-voltage switching (ZVS) range of the lagging-leg switches from nearly zero to full load since the LLC converter can be operated at f_sw (switching frequency) $\approx$ f_r (series resonant frequency). A passive snubber is used on the secondary side of the three-level converter to decrease the circulating current on the primary side, especially at high input voltage and full load conditions. Thus, the conduction losses due to the circulating current are reduced. The output sides of the two converters are connected in series. Energy can be transferred from the input voltage to the output load within the whole switching period. Finally, the effectiveness of the proposed converter is verified by experiments with a 1.44kW prototype circuit.

This paper presents a high-efficiency Switch Mode Line Transformer (SMLT) composed of load-shared dual modules, which is based on the AC/AC LLC resonant converter. Given that the conventional adaptor is usually composed of two power stages, namely, the PFC and DC/DC converters, its system size can be increased according to the output power. However, given that the proposed SMLT can separate the PFC converter from the adaptor, the size reduction of the system can be achieved. Meanwhile, the SMLT with a single module has the limit of the size reduction because of a high resonant current. Thus, it can be configured with dual or multiple modules to reduce the resonant current. Then, their load sharing can be guaranteed by only the proposed transformer structure without an extra current controller. The validity of the proposed converter is proven through a 850-W prototype.

This paper illustrates resonant tank design considerations and the implementation of a LLC resonant converter with a wide battery voltage range based on the fundamental harmonic approximation (FHA) analysis. Unlike the conventional design at zero load, the parameter K (the ratio of the transformer magnetizing inductor L_m to the resonant inductor L_r) of the LLC converter in this paper is designed with two charging points, (V_{o_min}, I_{o_max1}) and (V_{o_max}, I_{o_max2}), according to the battery charging strategy. A 2.9kW prototype with an output voltage range of 36V to 72V dc is built to verify the design. It achieves a peak efficiency of 96%.

This paper illustrates the analysis and design of a multi-resonant converter applied to an electric vehicle (EV) charger. Thanks to the notch resonant characteristic, the multi-resonant converter achieve soft switching and operate with a narrowed switching frequency range even with a wide output voltage range. These advantages make it suitable for battery charging applications. With two more resonant elements, the design of the chosen converter is more complex than the conventional LLC resonant converter. However, there is not a distinct design outline for the multi-resonant converters in existing articles. According to the analysis in this paper, the normalized notch frequency $f_{r2n}$ and the second series resonant frequency $f_{r3n}$ are more sensitive to the notch capacitor ratio q than the notch inductor ratio k. Then resonant capacitors should be well-designed before the other resonant elements. The peak gain of the converter depends mainly on the magnetizing inductor ratio $L_n$ and the normalized load Q. And it requires a smaller $L_n$ and Q to provide a sufficient voltage gain $M_{max}$ at ($V_{o\_max}$, $P_{o\_max}$). However, the primary current increases with $(L_nQ)^{-1}$, and results in a low efficiency. Then a detailed design procedure for the multi-resonant converter has been provided. A 3.3kW prototype with an output voltage range of 50V to 500V dc and a peak efficiency of 97.3 % is built to verify the design and effectiveness of the converter.

This paper presents a synchronous rectifier in a LLC half bridge topology. The proposed synchronous rectifier is used to a current driven synchronous rectifier(SR). If FET is driven without dead times. Voltage driven synchronous rectifier may introduce voltage and current surge during the zero dead times. To solve this problem, we propose to use modified current driven synchronous rectifier. Finally, the prototype is built and comparison on the current and voltage driven synchronous rectifier(SR).
