In this paper, we propose a novel shoot-through protection circuit and pulse generator for half-bridge driver IC. We designed a robust half-bridge driver IC over a variation of processes and power supplies. The proposed circuit is composed a delay circuit using a beta-multiplier reference. The proposed circuit has a lower variation rate of dead time and pulse-width over variation of processes and supply voltages than the conventional circuit. Especially, the proposed circuit has more excellent pulse-width matching of set and reset signals than the conventional circuit. Also, the proposed pulse generator is prevented from fault operations using a logic gate. Dead time and pulse-width of the proposed circuit are typical 250 ns, respectively. The variation ratio is 68%(170 ns) of maximum over variation of processes and supply voltages. The proposed circuit is designed using $1\;{\mu}m$ 650 V BCD (Bipolar, CMOS, DMOS) process parameter, and the simulations are carried out using Spectre simulator of Cadence corporation.

Capacitive power transfer has an advantage in the simplicity of the energy link structure. So, the conventional phase -shift full bridge sometime is not always the best choice because of its complexity and high cost. On the other hand, the link capacitance is usually very low and requires high-frequency operation, but, the series resonant converter loses zero-voltage switching feature in the light load condition, which makes the switching loss high especially in CPT system. The paper proposes a new low-cost topology based on asymmetric half-bridge to achieve simplicity as well as wide zero voltage switching range. The design procedure is presented, and circuit operations are analyzed and verified by simulation.

In this paper, a hybrid modular multilevel converter (MMC) topology with an improved nearest level modulation method is proposed for medium-voltage high-power applications. The arm of the proposed topology contains N series connected half-bridge submodules (HBSMs), one full-bridge submodule (FBSM) and an inductor. By exploiting the FBSM, half-level voltages are obtained in the arm voltages. Therefore, an output voltage with a 2N+1 level number can be generated. Moreover, the total level number of the inserted submodules (SMs) is a constant. Thus, there is no pulse voltage across the arm inductors, and the SM capacitor voltage is rated. With the proposed voltage balancing method, the capacitor voltage of the HBSM is twice the voltage of the FBSM, and each IGBT of the FBSM has a relatively low switching frequency and an equalized conduction loss. The capacitor voltage balancing methods of the two kinds of SMs are implemented independently. As a result, the switching frequency of the HBSM is not increased compared to the conventional MMC. In addition, according to a theoretical calculation of the total harmonic distortion of the electromotive force (EMF), the voltage quality with the presented method can be significantly enhanced when the SM number is relatively small. Simulation and experimental results obtained with a MMC-based inverter verify the validity of the developed method.

In this paper, a three level duty cycle controlled half bridge LLC converter for EV charger application is presented. The topology and operating regions of the converter are discussed. The equations of the converter are derived in time domain. A small signal model of the converter is developed by perturbation and linearization of the steady state model about their operating point using Extended Describing function.

저항형 센서 브리지들을 인터페이싱 하기 위한 간단한 저항 편차-시간 주기 변환기를 제안한다. 제안된 변환기는 두 개의 2세대 전류 컨베이어(current conveyor II: CCII)로 구성된다. 제안된 변환기는 연산 증폭기 또는 연산 트랜스컨덕턴스 증폭기(OTA)로 구성되는 기존의 변환기들보다 회로 구성이 간단하다는 장점을 가진다. 제안된 변환기를 AD844로 구현한 CCII를 이용하여 PSPICE 시뮬레이션을 진행하였다. 실험 결과는, 변환기가 $100{\sim}500{\Omega}$의 저항 편차 범위에 걸쳐서 $0.01934ms/{\Omega}$의 변환 감도를 가지며 선형 오차는 ${\pm}0.002%$ 이내라는 것을 보여준다.

A new three-level resonant converter suitable for wide input variation is proposed. A hybrid combination of a three-level converter controlled by phase-shift modulation and a half-bridge converter is presented. Since the voltage of each switch is one half of the input voltage, it has advantages of the choice and characteristics of switches. The ZVS operation of the converter is achieved by using the magnetizing current of the transformer. To verify the theoretical analysis, experimental results of the proposed converter are presented.

This paper presents a new circuit topology of dc bus line switch-assisted half-bridge soft switching PWM inverter type dc-dc converter for arc welder. The proposed power converter is composed of typical voltage source half-bridge high frequency PWM inverter with a high frequency transformer link in addition to dc bus line side power semiconductor switching devices fer PWM control scheme and capacitive lossless snubbers. All the active power switches in the half-bridge arm and dc bus lines can achieve ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off commutation operation and consequently the total turn-off switching losses can be significantly reduced. As a result, a high switching frequency of using IGBTs can be actually selected more than about 20 kHz. The effectiveness of this new converter topology is proved for low voltage and large current dc-dc power supplies such as arc welder from a practical point of view.

본 논문에서는 LLC 공진형 하프브릿지 컨버터의 내부손실이 반영된 등가회로를 제안하고, 손실 요소가 포함된 정상상태 특성식을 유도하였다. 그 결과를 이용하여 입출력 전압이득과 입력 임피던스의 주파수 특성을 무손실 모델과 비교하였다. 제안한 모델과 유도식을 검증하기 위해서 최대 전력이 1kW급인 LLC 공진형 하프브릿지 컨버터의 전원장치의 주요 소자를 동일한 조건에서 선정하여 전압이득과 입력 임피던스와 같은 정상상태 특성을 비교하였다. 특히 두 가지 모델에 대한 정상상태 오차를 보다 면밀하게 비교하기 위해서 실제 회로 설계 단계에서 가장 중요하게 고려되는 부하 전류에 대한 스위칭 주파수의 변화를 관찰 하였다. 그 결과 본 논문에서 제안한 모델과 해석 결과로부터 동작 주파수의 오차가 상당 부분 개선되었다는 것을 확인 하였다.
