This paper presents a novel prototype of dual mode control based phase shift ZVS PWM high frequency load resonant inverter with lossless snubber capacitors in addition to a single active auxiliary resonant snubber for electromagnetic induction heating(IH) foam metal based consumer fluid dual packs(DPA) heater. The operating principle in steady state and unique features of this voltage source soft switching high frequency inverter circuit topology are described in this paper. The lossless snubber and auxiliary active resonant snubber assisted constant frequency phase shift ZVS PWM high frequency load resonant inverter employing IGBT power modules actually is capable of achieving zero voltage soft commutation over a widely specified power regulation range from full power to low power. The steady state operating performances of this dual mode phase shift PWM series load resonant high frequency inverter are evaluated and discussed on the basis of simulation and experimental results for induction heated foam metal heater which is designed for compact and high efficient moving fluid heating appliance in the consumer pipeline systems.

멀티레벨 인버터에 널리 사용되는 Phase Shifted PWM은 셀 간의 동일한 전력 분배가 가능하나 각 셀 carrier의 위상차이로 인해 무부하 운전시 특정 셀에 회생이 발생하고, 지령 전압과 실제 전압의 위상차가 발생하는 단점이 있다. Level Shifted PWM을 통해 이와 같은 단점을 보완할 수 있으나, 각 셀의 스위칭 패턴이 모두 달라 전력 분배가 동일하게 이루어 지지 않는 문제가 있다. 본 논문에서는 기존의 Level Shifted PWM 방법을 개선하여 각 셀의 스위칭 패턴을 순환시켜 셀 간 동일한 전력분배가 이루어지도록 하였고, 시뮬레이션을 통해 이를 검증하였다.

This paper is concerned on developing DC-DC converter. In contrast to resonant converter, this converter requires no external resonant elements and operates with constant switching frequency. In conventional PWM converter, two MOSFET switches of the converter are simultaneously turned on and turned off. In presented converter, to achieve Zero Voltage Switching, the two legs of the bridge are operated DC-DC converter is phase shifted. Phase shifted Full Bridge ZVS PWM Converter have an effect on the power system. Operation principle and features are illustrated by the experiment results from 50W, 250kHz with MOSFET switch.

Telecom supplies need to conform to low Total Harmonic Distortion (THD) and high Power Factor (PF) as per IEC 61000-3-2 and IEEE 519-1992 standards. These high rating power supplies use a three phase utility in which low THD and high PF are realized via various passive and active wave shaping schemes. In this paper, a new design for three phase telecom power supplies is presented with circuit parameter values optimized for high performance in terms of a low THD, high PF, low ripple and high line and load regulation using a suitable combination of various strategies. The performance of the power supply is validated by extensive simulations.

A phase shifted full-bridge PWM converter (PSFBC) has been used as the most popular topology for many applications. But, for the reasons of the cost and performance, the control circuits for the PSFBC have generally been implemented using analog circuits. The studies on the digital control of the PSFBC were recently presented. However, they considered only the digital implementation of the analog controller. This paper presents the modeling and design of the digital controller for the PSFBC in the discrete time domain. The discretized PSFBC model is first derived considering the sampling effect. Based on this model, the digital controller is directly designed in discrete time domain. The simulation and experimental results are provided to verify the proposed modeling and controller design.

The conventional high frequency phase-shifted full bridge dc/dc converter has a disadvantage that a circulating current flows through transformer and switching devices during the freewheeling interval. Due to this circulating current, RMS current stress, conduction losses of transformer and switching devices are increased. To alleviate this problem, this paper provides a circulating current free type high frequency soft switching phase-shifted full bridge (FB) dc/dc converter with the modified energy recovery snubber (ERS) attached at the secondary side of transforemr.

Of all the proposed resonant techniques, the well-known phase-shifted full bridge converter remains one of the most attractive because it offers an easy way of achieving ZVS with a minimum of extra components added, which is essential for the high power applications. This paper describes the design of a digital controller for a Phase Shifted Full-bridge PWM Converter. The small-signal model is derived incorporating the effects of phase-shift control and the utilization of the transformer leakage inductance and power FET junction capacitances to achieve the zero-voltage resonant switching. Based on the derived small-signal model, the digital controller is designed in the discrete domain. The performance of designed controller is verified through the simulation.

In this paper, a light-emitting diode (LED) backlight driver integrated circuit (IC) for medium-sized liquid crystal displays (LCDs) is proposed. In the proposed IC, a linear current regulator with matched internal resistors and an adaptive phase-shifted pulse-width modulation (PWM) dimming controller are also proposed to improve LED current uniformity and reliability. The double feedback loop control boost converter is used to achieve high power efficiency, fast transient characteristic, and high dimming frequency and resolution. The proposed IC was fabricated using the 0.35 ${\mu}m$ bipolar-CMOS-DMOS (BCD) process. The LED current uniformity and LED fault immunity of the proposed IC were verified through experiments. The measured power efficiency was 90%; the measured LED current uniformity, 97%; and the measured rising and falling times of the LED current, 86 and 7 ns, respectively. Due to the fast rising and falling characteristics, the proposed IC operates up to 39 kHz PWM dimming frequency, with an 8-bit dimming resolution. It was verified that the phase difference between the PWM dimming signals is changed adaptively when LED fault occurs. The experiment results showed that the proposed IC meets the requirements for the LED backlight driver IC for medium-sized LCDs.
