This paper proposes a novel soft-switched auxiliary resonant circuit to provide a Zero-Voltage-Transition at turn-on for a conventional PWM boost converter in a PFC application. The proposed auxiliary circuit enables a main switch of the boost converter to turn on under a zero voltage switching condition and simultaneously achieves both soft-switched turn-on and turn-off. Moreover, for the purpose of an intelligent multi-chip power module fabrication, the proposed circuit is designed to satisfy several design constraints including space saving, low cost, and easy fabrication. As a result, the circuit is easily realized by a low rated MOSFET and a small inductor. Detail operation and the circuit waveform are theoretically explained and then simulation and experimental results are provided based on a 1.8 kW prototype PFC converter in order to verify the effectiveness of the proposed circuit.

This paper deals with a fixed frequency full-bridge inverter type DC-DC high-power converter with high frequency high voltage(HFHV) transformer-coupled stage, which operates under quasi-resonant ZVS transition priciple in spite of a wide PWM-based voltage regulation processing and largely-changed load conditions. This multi-resonant(MR) converter topology is composed of a series capacitor-connected parallel resonant tank which makes the most of parasitic circuit reactive components of HFHV transformer and two additional quasi-resonant pole circuits incorporated into the bridge legs. The soft-switching operation and practical efficacy of this new converter circuit using the latest IGBTs are actually ascertained through 50kV trially-produced converter system operating using 20kHz/30kHz high voltage(HV) transformers which is applied for driving the diagnostic HV X-ray tube load in medical equipments. It is proved from a practical point of view that the switching losses of IGBTs and their electrical dynamic stresses relating to EMI noise can be considerably reduced under a high frequency(HF) switching-based phase-shift PWM control process for a load setting requirements.

다양한 기능을 동시에 구현하는 최근의 전자제품을 위한 전력 시스템은 다양한 종류의 전원을 구비해야 하며, 고효율 저가격 특성이 필수적이다. 이를 위해 본 논문은 단일 변압기를 이용한 중용량급의 고효율 저가격형 다중출력 LLC 공진형 컨버터를 제안한다. 제안된 컨버터는 단일 변압기를 이용하고, 요구되는 출력 당 고가의 DC/DC 컨버터의 추가 없이 1 개의 보조 스위치만으로 구현되므로 구조가 간단하고 저가격화 및 효율 개선에 유리하다. 또한 제안된 회로의 모든 전력 스위치들은 ZVS 또는 ZCS가 가능하므로 EMI 특성이 우수하며 스위칭 손실을 최소화 할 수 있다. 최종적으로 제안된 컨버터 및 전원시스템의 우수성과 이론적 분석의 타당성 검증을 위해 42" FHD급 PDP용 전원회로를 위한 시작품을 제작하여 고찰된 실험결과를 제시한다.

The alternated forward multi resonant converter (AT forward MRC) is studied on the transient response and the measured loop gain for stability. The compensator is composed of the error amplifier with 3 poles and 2 zeros. This is optimized through the experiment with HP4194A network analyzer. We are initiated by the thinking of how to make the stabilization from the experimental results of loop gain curves. The loop gain, low frequency gain and gain margin are more improved through the experimental considerations. Also, the transient response is more enhanced effectively.

LLC resonant converter has been widely used because of its high efficiency and high energy density. In this paper, we designed a LLC resonant converter as the main power supply of the Nd:YAG pulse laser. First harmonic approximation (FHA) is used to model the LLC resonant converter. FHA equivalent circuit model and the transfer function of the LLC resonant converter is proposed. Soft start technology is also used to suppress the surge current. The laser output simulation test result is identical with the practical test, the laser energy of every pulse can reach up to 2.5J, and the pulse per second (PPS) can be adjusted from 6 to 18. The power system is verified stable and reliable by both of the simulation and experiment results.

고효율 다중공진형 컨버터는 스위칭 손질을 다중공진 회로를 이용하여 감소시킬 수 있기 때운에 고주파에서 동작이 가능하다. 이려한 고주파 스위칭 동작은 컨버터에 높은 전력 밀도를 제공한다. 그러나 공진 스위치애 걸리는 전압 스트레스는 입력전압의 4~5배 정도여서, 높은 정격의 소자를 필요로 하기 때문에 소자의 온-저항으로 인한 전도 손실을 증가시킨다. 본 문에서는 이러한 문제점 해결하기 위해 제안했던 전압 스트레스를 줄일 수 있는 AT 포워드 MRC는 모델링 해석파 이를 이용한 등가 모드 해석을 하였다. AT 포워드 MRC는 2개의 다중 공전 스위치의 동작 순서에 따라 8개의 등가 모델링이 가능하다. 이 컨버터의 동작 원리는 입력 48[V], 출력 5[V]/50[W]의 실험세트와 PSpice 시뮬레이션을 통해 확인되었으며, 측정된 최대 전압 스트레스는 입력전압의 2.9 배인 170[V]였고 최대 효율은 81.66i%로 측정되었다.

This paper presents a new approach to obtaining a reduced-order model for multi-module converters. The proposed approach can be used to derive the reduced-order model for a wide class of multi-module converters including pulse-width-modulated (PWM) converters, soft-switched PWM converters, and resonant converters. The reduced-order model has the structure of a conventional single-module converter while preserving the dynamics of the original multi-module converter. Derivation procedures and the use of the reduced-order model is demonstrated using a three-module boost converter.

In the resonant converters which can provide high efficiency and high power density, the resonant voltage stress is about $4\~5$ times the input voltage. It needs the power switch with high ratings. This is a reason why the conduction loss is increased. In this paper, it proposes the alternately zero voltage switched forward, flyback multi resonant converter topology for reducing the voltage stress using alternately zero voltage switching technique. And the proposed AT forward MRC Is experimentally considered about the loop gain with HP4194A network analyzer

The clamp mode (CM) forward zero voltage switching multi resonant converter (ZVS-MPC) with self-driven synchronous rectifier is studied. The loss at the synchronous rectification stage of the converter is analyzed using MOSFET piecewise linear model and is compared with the loss at the conventional schottky diode rectification stage of th econverter. From the results of the analysis, it is known that the use fo MOSFETs as a synchronous rectifier reduces the loss at the rectification stage overthe whole load range comparing the use of schottky diodes as a conventional rectifier in the converter. In order to verify the validit of the analysis, we have built a 33W(3.3V/10A) CM forward ZVS-MRC with self-driven synchronous rectifier, in which switching frequency is 1MHz, and tested. FRom the experimental results, it is known that the synchronous rectification achieved about 1W improvement in the loss at the rectification stage and about 3% in the efficiency at the converter as compared with the conventional schottky diode rectification.
