Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of LLC resonant circuit analysis technology, and more specifically to an LLC eleven-mode time-domain analysis method that takes into account the size of the semiconductor junction capacitance. Background Technology
[0002] LLC resonant converters can be cascaded with other DC / DC circuits, significantly improving efficiency and providing isolation. They are widely used in industrial fields such as photovoltaics and urban rail trains. Traditional LLC converters are suitable for wide input voltage ranges. Their design method starts with DC voltage gain, deriving the relationship between gain, the ratio of resonant inductance to magnetizing inductance, and the quality factor. These two key variables are usually selected empirically. However, in practical circuits, neglecting the junction capacitance of the semiconductor often leads to circuit problems.
[0003] At high switching frequencies, LLC converters become highly sensitive to circuit parasitic parameters, and even small magnetizing currents exacerbate the non-ideal characteristics caused by these parameters. The design of high-frequency transformers differs from that of low-frequency transformers, with more complex parasitic parameters. Ignoring this influence during the design process will compromise the performance of the LLC converter. In high-frequency, high-efficiency, high-power converters, traditional LLC modal analysis is no longer sufficient to meet design requirements. Summary of the Invention

[0029] Resonant current with an approximately sinusoidal trend i Lr Excitation current that varies linearly with a fixed slope iLm exist t They intersect at time 1, at [ t 1, t 2] During the time period, the two remain equal, entering a three-element resonant state. At this time, the primary-side MOSFET does not immediately turn off but remains in the conducting state. The secondary-side rectifier diode achieves zero-current turn-off (ZCS) due to the cessation of energy transfer from the transformer. Its own capacitance still participates in the primary-side resonance, adding a parasitic resonant current to the primary-side resonant current. Considering the secondary-side diode junction capacitance participating in the resonance, we obtain [ t 1, t 2] The time-domain equation for the time period is:

[0061] Taking the inverse Laplace transform of the above equation, we get i Lr The time-domain equation is:
[0062]
[0063] Solving the above equations simultaneously i Lr Simplify:
[0064]
[0065] t At time 2, the resonant cavity current and the excitation current are approximately equal, and can be considered as i Lr ( t 2) = i Lm ( t 2), thus we obtain:
[0066]
[0067] Modal 3: [ t 2, t s ];
[0068] During the transient process of mode 3, the time is very short. The influence of junction capacitance resonance is not considered in the mode 3 interval, and the impact on the charging process of the primary junction capacitance is very small. The main effect is that the drop in its resonant current affects the DC component of the current in the next mode, which in turn affects the ZVS of the primary capacitance. The voltages of other capacitors are considered to remain unchanged.
[0069] Modal 4: [ t s , t 4];
[0070] Based on whether the minimum resonant current in mode 4 is greater than zero and the order in which the primary and secondary junction capacitances achieve ZVS, there are four different modes. Each mode has a distinct equivalent circuit transition, which has different effects on ZVS.
[0071] Stage 4a:
[0072] i Lr ( t s If ) > 0, the resonant current is always greater than 0, that is dv CQ / dtThe primary junction capacitance is always greater than 0, and it first reaches ZVS. At this point, the primary side diode clamps and conducts, and the input voltage of the primary resonant cavity is changed from... V in Become - V in This enables input voltage commutation;
[0073] Stage 4b:
[0074] i Lr ( t s When the resonant current is less than 0, there are two possibilities: First, the resonant current has a zero-crossing point, meaning there are waveforms on both the positive and negative half-axis during this time period, causing the resonant current to alternate between positive and negative directions. Additionally, the secondary side completes ZVS first, after which the resonant current's period and amplitude change. Therefore, this mode corresponds to four circuit states, which are... i Lr ( t s When the value is less than 0, the secondary diode is clamped to conduct at the midpoint. i Lr ( t s If the value is less than 0, the secondary diode did not operate at the midpoint of the time interval. i Lr ( t s When the value is greater than 0, the secondary diode is clamped to conduct at the midpoint. i Lr ( t s >0, the secondary diode did not operate at the middle moment; the second is the extreme case where the resonant current is all located in the negative half axis, which does not have ZVS, so it is not considered;
[0075] Stage 4c:
[0076] The resonant current lies entirely on the positive half-axis, and the secondary side first achieves ZVS. The corresponding circuit has two equivalent circuit topologies, namely... i Lr ( t s When the value is greater than 0, the secondary diode is clamped to conduct at the midpoint. i Lr ( t s If the value is greater than 0, the secondary diode does not operate at the midpoint of the time interval; the topologies corresponding to the two equivalent circuits have different resonant amplitudes and periods, which have a certain impact on ZVS.
[0077] Stage 4d:
[0078] The minimum resonant current is less than 0, meaning there is a current zero-crossing point. The case where it is completely in the negative half-cycle is no longer considered. The current repeats, and the primary junction capacitance first achieves ZVS, corresponding to two circuit modes, which are respectively i Lr ( t s When the value is less than 0, the secondary diode is clamped to conduct at the midpoint. i Lr ( t s If the value is less than 0, the secondary diode did not operate at the midpoint of the time interval.
[0079] Modality 5: [ t 3, t 4];
[0080] Stage 5:
[0081] This mode is based on i Lr Crossing zero t z Is the time in [ t 3, t 4] can be divided into two possibilities, the first being t 4< t z For 5a and 5b, the current remains greater than 0 throughout the dead time, and there is no reverse charging. The second type is... t 4> t z This divides the time of mode 5 into two segments: 5a' is the one that works normally, and 5b' is the one where the transistor is not turned on in time, causing the original side to lose ZVS.
[0082] Mode 5a: [ t 3, t z ], Mode 5a': [ t z , t 4];
[0083] exist t At time 3, the commutation of the primary junction capacitor voltage is completed in the previous mode time, i.e., soft switching is achieved, and the primary magnetizing inductor voltage just reaches approximately -n. V out Therefore, it is reverse clamped, the secondary rectifier bridge pair is turned on, the parasitic capacitance of the rectifier diode stops participating in the primary resonance, it leaves the three-element resonance state and enters the two-element resonance state. The resonant current drops rapidly under the negative voltage of the resonant cavity. In this state, the primary pair needs to be turned on immediately; mode 5a', enter the next switching cycle. This state is the normal mode and can be regarded as part of the reverse of mode 1.
[0084] The expression for the resonant inductor voltage is:
[0085] ;
[0086] ;
[0087] Modal 5b: [ t 3, t z ], Modality 5b': [ t z , t 4];
[0088] t z < t 4. In t z At that moment, the resonant current i Lr The current still remained normal after crossing zero, but... i Lr Mode 5b' after the zero crossing is an abnormal mode, and the primary and secondary junction capacitances simultaneously participate in resonance. Q 2. Q The junction capacitor begins charging, corresponding to... Q 1. Q 4. The junction capacitance begins to discharge, and the full-bridge LLC system loses ZVS.
[0089] Furthermore, the resonant current in modes 2 and 3... i Lr Time-domain analysis allows for indirect measurement of the primary-side SiC MOSFET junction capacitance and the secondary-side diode parasitic junction capacitance, which are difficult to measure directly. This is achieved under the given condition of a known transformer resonant inductance. L r Under the condition of inductance, the resonant frequencies in mode 2 and mode 3 + mode 4 were measured respectively. f 1. f 2. The junction capacitance of the SiC MOSFET can be obtained by combining the following steps. C Q Diode junction capacitance C D The expression is:

[0092] Compared with existing technologies, the significant advantages of this solution are:
[0093] This solution fully considers the adverse effects of parasitic capacitance on the normal operation of the LLC converter. It also compares and analyzes the dead time under different modes, which has greater reference value for the design of actual circuits. The method is clearer and simpler and is suitable for practical engineering. Attached Figure Description

[0133] like Figure 4 As shown, the resonant current varies with an approximately sinusoidal trend. i Lr Excitation current that varies linearly with a fixed slope i Lm exist t They intersect at time 1, at [ t 1, t [2] During the time period, the two remain equal, entering a three-element resonant state. At this time, the primary-side MOSFET does not immediately turn off but remains in the conducting state. The secondary-side rectifier diode achieves zero-current turn-off (ZCS) because the energy transfer of the transformer stops. Its own capacitance still participates in the primary-side resonance, adding a parasitic resonant current to the primary-side resonant current. Considering the secondary-side diode junction capacitance participating in the resonance, the equivalent circuit is as follows: Figure 5 As shown, we obtain [ t 1, t 2] The time-domain equation for the time period is:

[0173] Mode 4: [ t s , t 4];
[0174] Based on whether the minimum resonant current in mode 4 is greater than zero and the order in which the primary and secondary junction capacitances achieve ZVS, there are four different modes. Each mode has a distinct equivalent circuit transition, which has different effects on ZVS.

At this time, the primary-side MOSFET does not immediately turn off but remains in the conducting state. The secondary-side rectifier diode achieves zero-current turn-off (ZCS) due to the cessation of energy transfer from the transformer. Its own capacitance still participates in the primary-side resonance, adding a parasitic resonant current to the primary-side resonant current. Considering the secondary-side diode junction capacitance participating in the resonance, we obtain [ t 1, t 2] The time-domain equation for the time period is: ; The derivation is i Lr The second-order differential equation is: ; exist[ t 1, t 2] Inside, v Cr Neglecting the changes and treating them as constants, the above equation simplifies to: ; The solution obtained by Laplace transform is: ; Therefore, we get: ; Combining the above equations, we get: ; Simplified i Lr The expression is: ; Performing an inverse Laplace transform on the above equation yields... i Lr The time-domain equation is: ; Mode 3 + Mode 4: [ t 2, t 3] exist t At time 2, the primary-side MOSFET is turned off, and the resonant current begins to charge and discharge into the primary-side MOSFET junction capacitance.

C Q With secondary diode junction capacitance C D The ratio directly affects the DC current distribution, which in turn affects ZVS. High-frequency resonance still exists in the AC part, and the amplitude of the resonant current and the phase angle together affect ZVS. During this time period, the junction capacitance of the primary-side SiC MOSFET participates in resonance. Referring to the time-domain equation in mode 2, we can obtain that... t 2, t The time-domain equation of [3] is: ; same v Cr Treating it as a constant, the second-order differential equation can be derived: ; Solving using the Laplace transform, we obtain: ; From the above formula, we can obtain: ; From the above formula, we can obtain: ; Among them, in [ t 2, t 3] Within the time period i Lr resonant frequency f 2 is: ; From the above formula, we can obtain the simplified version. i Lr The expression is: ; Taking the inverse Laplace transform of the above equation, we get i Lr The time-domain equation is: Solving the above equations simultaneously i Lr Simplify: t At time 2, the resonant cavity current and the excitation current are approximately equal, and can be considered as i Lr ( t 2) = i Lm ( t 2), thus we obtain: Modal 3: [ t 2, t s ]; During the transient process of mode 3, the time is very short. The influence of junction capacitance resonance is not considered in the mode 3 interval, and the impact on the charging process of the primary junction capacitance is very small. The drop in its resonant current affects the DC component of the current in the next mode, which in turn affects the primary capacitance ZVS. The voltages of other capacitors are considered to remain unchanged. Modal 4: [ t s , t 4]; Based on whether the minimum resonant current in mode 4 is greater than zero and the order in which the primary and secondary junction capacitances achieve ZVS, there are four different modes. Each mode has a distinct equivalent circuit transition, which has different effects on ZVS. Stage 4a: i Lr ( t s If ) > 0, the resonant current is always greater than 0, that is dv CQ / dt The primary junction capacitance is always greater than 0, and it first reaches ZVS. At this point, the primary side diode clamps and conducts, and the input voltage of the primary resonant cavity is changed from... V in Become - V in This enables input voltage commutation; Stage 4b: i Lr ( t s When the resonant current is less than 0, there are two possibilities: First, the resonant current has a zero-crossing point, meaning there are waveforms on both the positive and negative half-axis during this time period, causing the resonant current to alternate between positive and negative directions. Additionally, the secondary side completes ZVS first, after which the resonant current's period and amplitude change. Therefore, this mode corresponds to four circuit states, which are... i Lr ( t s When the value is less than 0, the secondary diode is clamped to conduct at the midpoint. i Lr ( t s If the value is less than 0, the secondary diode did not operate at the midpoint of the time interval. i Lr ( t s When the value is greater than 0, the secondary diode is clamped to conduct at the midpoint. i Lr ( t s >0, the secondary diode did not operate at the middle moment; the second is the extreme case where the resonant current is all located in the negative half axis, which does not have ZVS, so it is not considered; Stage 4c: The resonant current lies entirely on the positive half-axis, and the secondary side first achieves ZVS. The corresponding circuit has two equivalent circuit topologies, namely... i Lr ( t s When the value is greater than 0, the secondary diode is clamped to conduct at the midpoint. i Lr ( t s If the value is greater than 0, the secondary diode does not operate at the midpoint of the time interval; the topologies corresponding to the two equivalent circuits have different resonant amplitudes and periods, which have a certain impact on ZVS. Stage 4d: The minimum resonant current is less than 0, meaning there is a current zero-crossing point. The case where it is completely in the negative half-cycle is no longer considered. The current repeats, and the primary junction capacitance first achieves ZVS, corresponding to two circuit modes, which are respectively i Lr ( t s When the value is less than 0, the secondary diode is clamped to conduct at the midpoint. i Lr ( t s If the value is less than 0, the secondary diode did not operate at the midpoint of the time interval. Modality 5: [ t 3, t 4]; Stage 5: This mode is based on i Lr Crossing zero t z Is the time in [ t 3, t 4] can be divided into two possibilities, the first being t 4< t z For 5a and 5b, the current remains greater than 0 throughout the dead time, and there is no reverse charging. The second type is... t 4> t z This divides the time of mode 5 into two segments: 5a' is the one that works normally, and 5b' is the one where the transistor is not turned on in time, causing the original side to lose ZVS. Mode 5a: [ t 3, t z ], Mode 5a': [ t z , t 4]; exist t At time 3, the commutation of the primary junction capacitor voltage is completed in the previous mode time, i.e., soft switching is achieved, and the primary magnetizing inductor voltage just reaches approximately -n. V out Therefore, it is reverse clamped, the secondary rectifier bridge pair is turned on, the parasitic capacitance of the rectifier diode stops participating in the primary resonance, it leaves the three-element resonance state and enters the two-element resonance state. The resonant current drops rapidly under the negative voltage of the resonant cavity. In this state, the primary pair needs to be turned on immediately; mode 5a', enter the next switching cycle. This state is the normal mode and can be regarded as part of the reverse of mode 1. The expression for the resonant inductor voltage is: ; ; Modal 5b: [ t 3, t z ], Modality 5b': [ t z , t 4]; t z < t 4. In t z At that moment, the resonant current i Lr The current still remained normal after crossing zero, but... i Lr Mode 5b' after the zero crossing is an abnormal mode, and the primary and secondary junction capacitances simultaneously participate in resonance.
