본 논문에서는 보조 스위치의 하드 스위칭 문제를 개선한 AC/DC PFC(Power-Factor-Correction) ZVT(Zero-Voltage-Transition) Boost 컨버터에 관하여 논하였다. 기존의 AC/DC PFC ZVT Boost 컨버터는 주 스위치 턴온 시 보조 스위치를 함께 동작시켜 경부하시에도 강제적으로 영전압 스위칭이 가능하게 함으로써 전 부하범위에서 주 스위치 손실을 저감하였다. 그러나 보조 스위치에서의 손실이 크며 주 스위치의 턴온시 역방향 전류가 증가하는 문제점을 지닌다. 따라서 본 연구에서는 기존의 ZVT 컨버터에 단지 하나의 다이오드를 추가함으로써 보조 스위치의 전류 스트레스 및 주 스위치의 턴온시 역방향 전류를 감소시키게 되어 효율 향상을 기할 수 있었다. 본 논문에서는 MOSFET를 사용하여 640[W]급 시작품을 제작, 100[kHz]에서 실험하였다.

This paper analyzed PFC of active clamp ZVS flyback converter by adding two methods PFC (power Factor Correction) circuit - two-stage and single-stage. The addition of active clamp circuit also provides a mechanism for achieving ZVS of both the primary and auxiliary switches. ZVS also limits the turn off di/dt of the output rectifier, reducing rectifier-switching loss and switching noise, due to diode reverse recovery. As a result, the proposed converters have characteristics of the reduced switching noise and high efficiency in comparison to conventional flyback converter. The simulation and experimental results show that the proposed converter improve the input PF of 300W ZVS flyback converter by adding single-stage, two-stage PFC circuit.

In this paper a new buck-boost type DC-DC converter is presented. Its voltage gain is positive, all active elements operate under soft-switching condition independent of loading, magnetic isolation and self output short-circuit protection exist, and very fast dynamic operation is achievable by a simple bang-bang controller. This converter also exhibits appropriate PFC characteristics since its input current is inherently proportional to the source voltage. When the voltage source is off-line, it is sufficient to add an inductor after the rectifier, then near unity power factor is achievable. All essential guidelines to design the converter as a DC-DC and a PFC regulator are presented. Simulation and experimental results verify the developed theoretical analysis.

This paper proposes a PFC converter with a double step-up function using an asymmetrical PWM scheme. For the conventional PWM scheme, the input voltage range, which maintains a double step-up function, is limited because the proposed converter has different voltage gains and characteristics when the duty ratio(D) is less than 0.5. The proposed converter has a constant voltage gain regardless of the magnitude of the input voltage and can achieve output voltage balancing by using the asymmetrical PWM scheme. A 1.6-kW prototype of the proposed converter was built and tested to verify the performance.

LED 조명은 많은 장점으로 인하여 다양한 분야에서 사용이 점점 증가되고 있다. 특히 플라이백 컨버터는 전력밀도와 구조적 단순성 그리고 소형화가 가능하여 많은 컨버터 설계자들에게 LED 조명용 드라이버로 선택되어지고 있다. 또한 컨버터의 직류출력전압을 안정화하기 위하여 저렴한 가격의 정전용량이 큰 전해커패시터를 사용한다. 전해 커패시터를 갖는 전력변환기를 LED 조명시스템에 적용할 경우에 일반적으로 LED의 수명이 짧아지는 결과를 가져온다. 제안하는 논문은 LED 수명연장과 컨버터 출력리플을 감소시키기 위하여 소용량의 필름 커패시터 LC 필터를 컨버터에 적용하였다.

This paper is given a full detail of mathematical analyses of input current for novel active type power factor correction(PFC) AC-DC converter of step up-down added electric isolation. These are compared with harmonics components of input current for a conventional PFC converter of electric isolation type. The proposed PFC converter is constructed in using a new loss-less snubber circuit to achieve a soft switching of control device. Also the proposed converter for discontinuous conduction mode(DCM) eliminates the complicated circuit control requirement and reduces the size of components. The input current waveform in the proposed converter is got to be a sinusoidal form of discontinuous pulse in proportion to magnitude of ac input voltage under the constant duty cycle switching. Therefore, input power factor is nearly unity and the control method is simple. Particularly, the stored energy of loss-less snubber capacitor is recovered with input side and increases input current from resonant operation. The result is that input power factor of the proposed converter is higher than that of a conventional PFC converter. Some simulative results on computer and experimental results are included to confirm the validity of the analytical results.

본 논문은 기존 전자식 안정기에 사용되던 Boost 컨버터 형태의 역률 개선 부분을 SEPIC 컨버터 형태를 갖는 역률 개선 방식으로 대치하여 특성을 확인한 논문이다. Boost 컨버터 형태를 갖는 역률 개선 방식의 출력 DC 전압은 일반적으로 400[V]이며, 최소 전압은 입력 전원의 실효값 이상이어야만 한다. 하지만 SEPIC 컨버터 구조를 이용하면, 역율 개선 효과뿐만 아니라, 입력 전원의 실효값 보다 작은 출력 DC 전압을 얻을 수 있다는 장점을 가지고 있다. 본 논문에서는 SEPIC 컨버터 구조를 갖는 역율 개선 방식과 링코어를 이용한 자려식 발진 방식을 적용한 전자식 안정기를 제작하였고, 낮은 출력 전압을 이용하여 소자의 용량과 크기를 감소시켰다.

Recently, the LED(Light Emitting Diode) is expected to replace conventional lamps including incandescent, halogen and fluorescent lamps for some general illumination application, due to some obvious features such as high luminous efficiency, safety, long life, environment-friendly characteristics and so on. To drive the LED, a single stage PFC(Power Factor Correction) flyback converter has been adopted to satisfy the isolation, PFC and low cost. The conventional flyback LED driver has the serious disadvantage of high 120Hz output current ripple caused by the PFC operation. To overcome this drawback, a new PFC flyback with low 120Hz output current ripple is proposed in this paper. It is composed of 2 power stages, the DCM(Discontinuous Conduction Mode) flyback converter for PFC and BCM(Boundary Conduction Mode) boost converter for tightly regulated LED current. Since the link capacitor is located in the secondary side, its voltage stress is small. Moreover, since the driver is composed of 2 power stages, small output filter and link capacitor can be used. Especially, since the flyback is operated at DCM, the PFC can be automatically obtained and thus, an additional PFC IC is not necessary. Therefore, only one control IC for BCM boost converter is required. To confirm the validity of the proposed converter, theoretical analysis and experimental results from a prototype of 24W LED driver are presented.

This paper introduces a novel ZVS interleaved totem-pole PFC with the reduced circulating current and the reverse recovery current of the diodes. With the help of a simple auxiliary inductor, both ZVS turn-on of the main switches and soft turn-off of the body diodes can be achieved. In the proposed totem-pole PFC topology since the switching losses and the reverse recovery losses can be significantly reduced, the typical Si MOSFETs can be employed. In addition the circulating current is reduced by adjusting the switching frequency. The proposed PFC topology can be a low cost solution to achieve high efficiency in high power PFC applications. The validity and the feasibility of the proposed topology is verified by the experimental results with a 3.3kW interleaved totem-pole PFC converter.
