본 논문에서는 FB ZVT PWM DC-DC 컨버터에서 영전압 스위칭에 도달하기 위해 두 개의 보조 스위치 대신에 가포화 인덕터를 사용한다. 기존의 고주파 위상 변위 FB ZVT PWM DC-DC 컨버터는 프리휠링 주기동안 고주파 변압기와 스위칭 소자를 통해 흐르는 순환전류를 갖으며, 이러한 순환전류로 인해 컨버터의 도전손실이 증가한다. 이러한 손실을 줄이기 위해 변압기의 2차측에 도전손실저감회로를 제안한다. 컨버터의 동작원리를 자세하게 설명하고 제안된 회로를 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

A Single-phase bi-directional inverter Using a diode bridge-type resonant circuit to implement ZVT(Zero Voltage Transition) switching is Presented. It is shown that the ZACE(Zero Average Current Error) algorithm based polarized ramptime current control can provide a suitable interface between diode bridge-type resonant circuit DC link and the inverter.

A new auxiliary circuit for boost, buck, buck-boost, Cuk, SEPIC, and zeta converters is introduced to provide soft switching for pulse-width modulation converters. In the aforementioned family of DC-DC converters, the main and auxiliary switches turn on under zero current transition (ZCT) and turn off with zero voltage and current transition (ZVZCT). All diodes commutate under soft switching conditions. On the basis of the proposed converter family, the boost topology is analyzed, and its operating modes are presented. The validity of the theoretical analysis is justified by the experimental results of a 100W, 100 kHz prototype. The conducted electromagnetic emissions of the proposed boost converter are measured and found to be lower than those of another ZCT boost converter.

This paper presents a Class-D type switched mode audio power amplifier employing ZVT(Zero-Voltage-Transition) soft switching technique. In order to obtain a wide bandwidth and lower distortion for an audio amplifier a high switching frequency is essential. The ZVT switching scheme enables a high frequency switching without sacrificing the efficiency much as in a hard switching. A prototype amplifier is built to demonstrate the feasibility of this technique for the audio power amplifier.

This paper presents a new PWM DC/DC converter with dual output power using single power stage, which has the isolation characteristics between each dual output. The proposed converter topology consists of two switches ($S_B$ and $S_F$) and only single secondary winding. Therefore, the proposed converter has better advantages of not only low cost and small size but also high power density because of using minimum components and devices compared with conventional methods which use multi winding transformers or several converters. The operating principle of the proposed converter topology, which includes the conventional auxiliary ZVT (Zero-Voltage-Transition) circuit to implement soft switching of the main switch, is illustrated in detail and the validity of the proposed converter is verified through several simulated and experimental results.

A zero-voltage-transition(ZVT) full bridge (FB) boost converter for single stage power factor correction (PFC) in distributed power system is proposed. A simple auxiliary circuit provides zero-voltage-switching(ZVS) condition to all semiconductor devices without imposing additional voltage and current stresses and loss of PWM capability. The proposed boost converter provides both input power factor correction and direct conversion from $110{\sim}220VAC$ line to 300VDC bus with single power stage. Operational principle, analysis of the proposed converter are described and verified by computer simulation and experimental results from a 1.5 kW, 80 kHz laboratory prototype.

In this study, a novel single phase soft switched power factor correction (PFC) converter is developed with active snubber cell. The active snubber cell provides boost switch both to turn on with zero voltage transition (ZVT) and to turn off with zero current transition (ZCT). As the switching losses in the proposed converter are too low, L and C size can be reduced by increasing the operating frequency. Also, all the semiconductor devices operate with soft switching. There is no additional voltage stress in the boost switch and diode. The proposed converter has a simple structure, low cost and ease of control as well. It has a simple control loop to achieve near unity power factor with the aid of the UC3854. In this study, detailed steady state analysis of the proposed converter is presented and this theoretical analysis is verified by a prototype of 100 kHz and 500 W converter. The measured power factor and efficiency are 0.99 and 97.9% at full load.

본 논문에서는 동적 전류분담 인덕터를 이용한 ZVT 풀 브리지 DC/DC 컨버터의 병렬운전 특성을 해석하였다. 기존의 경우 CT(Current Transformer)를 사용하여 각 단위 컨버터 전류의 크기를 감지하여, 제어회로에서 각 컨버터에 균등한 전류 배분을 하는 방법을 사용하였으나, 본 연구에서는 동적 전류분담 인덕터를 사용함으로써 병렬운전하는 두 대의 풀 브리지 컨버터의 전류분배를 위한 제어회로를 비교적 단순하게 하였다. 동시에 ZVT회로를 이용하여 컨버터의 효율을 향상시켰으며 스위칭소자로서 IGBT를 사용하여 2[㎾]급 시작품을 제작, 50[KHz]에서 실험하였다.
