Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of converter technology, specifically relating to a control method and circuit for a dual-clamp ZVS buck-boost converter. Background Technology

[0002] like Figure 1 The aforementioned double-clamped ZVS buck-boost converter k -Boost powercon ver The converter (ter) is a high-efficiency, isolated converter, first proposed by VICOR Corporation in the United States, patent number US9083254B1. Figure 1 The converter mainly consists of first to fifth switching transistors, a transformer, a clamping capacitor, an output filter capacitor, and an output load resistor. The third switching transistor can also be referred to as the clamping switching transistor. The first to fifth switching transistors additionally include parasitic diodes and parasitic capacitances of each switching transistor; the transformer additionally includes its leakage inductance; the fifth switching transistor, filter capacitor, output load resistor, and other components are connected to the secondary side of the transformer; the first to fourth switching transistors and the clamping capacitor are connected to the primary side of the transformer. The first and second switching transistors and the third and fourth switching transistors respectively form two half-bridge arms, and the primary side of the transformer is respectively connected to the midpoint of the two half-bridge arms; the input voltage source and the output capacitor are connected in parallel with the two half-bridge arms respectively.

[0003] Figure 2A The typical waveforms of a dual-clamp ZVS converter are given, where the first and second switches conduct complementaryly, and the third and fourth switches conduct complementaryly. i Lm The excitation current of the transformer is indicated; as shown. i Lr Indicate the total primary current of the transformer; such as Figure 2A As shown, when the first and fourth switches are turned on, the transformer's magnetizing induction energy storage and magnetizing current are... i Lm Linear increase, such as Figure 2A shown t 0 to t 1. During the time period; when the second and third switching transistors are turned on, the fifth switching transistor on the secondary side of the transformer is turned on, energy is transferred from the transformer to the secondary side, the transformer is demagnetized, and the excitation current... i Lm Linear decrease; in t At time 2, the third switch is turned off and the fourth switch is turned on. The transformer current freewheels through the second and third switches, and the transformer current remains essentially constant. i r0 Unchanged, corresponding to the above Figure 2A of t2~ t 3 stage, so that the t 0 to t 3 corresponds to a complete cycle of the double-clamp ZVS buck-boost converter. In addition, Figure 2A the period starting current of the transformer shown in i r0 is a small negative value, and the period starting negative current i r0 plays an important role and is the key to the control algorithm of the double-clamp ZVS converter. On the one hand, appropriate negative current i r0 helps to achieve ZVS zero-voltage turn-on of the first switch, thereby reducing switching loss and improving the conversion efficiency of the converter; on the other hand, if the current i r0 is too large, it will introduce additional conduction loss and affect the conversion efficiency of the converter. Figure 2B Another possible operating waveform of the double-clamp ZVS buck-boost converter under the same load is given, and the turn-on time of the third switch is relatively long, thereby causing the period starting current i r0 to be relatively large, which further causes the turn-on time of the first switch to be long, the switching frequency of the converter to be low, and ultimately causes a series of negative problems such as large conduction loss of the converter and large input ripple current. Further, the Figure 2A and 2B indicate that the period starting current i r0 is determined by the turn-on time of the third switch, and the turn-on time further affects the switching frequency of the converter. Under light load conditions of the converter, the switching frequency of the converter needs to be appropriately controlled, otherwise the switching frequency is too high under light load conditions, which easily causes the converter to fail. In addition, to accurately control the starting current, the double-clamp ZVS buck-boost converter also needs to effectively control the switching frequency of the converter. The U.S. Patent US9083254B1 proposes to indirectly control the clamp switch through the driving mode of the fifth switch, which is relatively complex and not conducive to the realization of primary and secondary side voltage withstand isolation.

The purpose of the clamp protection circuit is to ensure that the third switching tube, i.e. the clamp switching tube Q 3 of the drive signal Figure 8 3 of the double-clamp ZVS buck-boost converter must be generated only after the zero-crossing signal v st turns low, thereby ensuring that the clamp switching tube Q 3 will not be turned on "excessively" under any problem or transient operating condition, and will not affect the normal operation of the converter.
