Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention belongs to the field of power electronic converter technology, and relates to a synchronous rectification circuit and control strategy for a bidirectional CLLC resonant converter. Background Technology
[0002] In the application fields of new energy sources such as distributed energy storage, DC microgrids, and electric vehicles, the key issue of power conversion is how to construct a bidirectional power electronic converter that can meet the requirements of bidirectional energy flow, high efficiency, and high power density. Among various bidirectional isolated converters, the CLLC resonant converter, which is based on the improvement of the traditional unidirectional LLC resonant converter topology, is considered an ideal topology because it can achieve bidirectional energy flow, soft switching, and bidirectional operation.
[0003] In traditional bidirectional CLLC resonant converters, the secondary bridge is not driven by a signal and rectification is performed using its body diode. However, since the body diode often has a relatively high forward voltage drop, it results in high conduction losses, reducing the converter's efficiency. Employing a synchronous rectification strategy can effectively reduce the forward voltage drop during rectification, thereby reducing conduction losses on the rectifier side and improving converter efficiency.
[0004] For bidirectional CLLC resonant converters, traditional synchronous rectification strategies can be categorized into three types: theoretical calculation, voltage sensing, and current sensing. Theoretical calculation strategies directly calculate the turn-on and turn-off times of the synchronous rectifier diodes through prior modeling. This calculation requires accurate resonant parameters of the converter, relies heavily on the accuracy of the initial modeling, and places high demands on the performance of the digital controller. Furthermore, it is difficult to accurately calculate the resonant process during dynamic operation. Voltage sensing strategies determine the current polarity by detecting the drain-source voltage of the switching transistor, while current sensing strategies directly detect the secondary-side resonant current. Both strategies determine the conduction status of the secondary-side rectifier diodes based on the polarity of the secondary-side resonant current and generate the synchronous rectification drive signal accordingly. Both strategies are susceptible to parasitic oscillations in the circuit, causing malfunctions of the synchronous rectifier diodes and affecting the synchronous rectification effect.
[0005] It is evident that traditional synchronous rectification strategies for bidirectional CLLC resonant converters all have their own shortcomings, limiting their application in bidirectional CLLC resonant converters. Therefore, improvements to existing synchronous rectification techniques are necessary. Summary of the Invention

Figure 4 The proposed bidirectional CLLC resonant converter synchronous rectification circuit consists of a high-speed current sampling circuit, a zero-crossing detection circuit, a timer circuit, a logic processing circuit, and a driving circuit. Its key feature is that a current transformer is connected in series on the secondary side of the CLLC resonant cavity.

[0049] When the converter operates at frequency f s <f r When the converter operates at a frequency f, it is in underresonant mode; when the converter operates at a frequency f... s =f r When the converter operates at a frequency f, it is in quasi-resonant mode; when the converter operates at a frequency f... s >f r At this time, the converter operates in overresonance mode. To ensure reliable synchronous rectification of the secondary-side switches, the timer's timing period is related to the converter's minimum operating frequency f. smin Maximum operating frequency f smax and the resonant frequency f of the converter r Regarding the timer's timing period T tclk The following conditions must be met:
[0050]
[0051] The converter needs to control the primary-side switches based on input and output voltage and current signals. Taking the forward operating mode as an example, the controller applies a square wave signal with a 50% duty cycle to the four primary-side switches. The drive signals for the first and second primary-side switches (S1 and S2) are completely complementary, as are the drive signals for the third and fourth primary-side switches (S3 and S4). Furthermore, the drive signals for the first and fourth primary-side switches (S1 and S4) are in phase. A symmetrical square wave voltage with a 50% duty cycle is applied to the resonant cavity at the primary-side bridge output. The controller adjusts the output voltage or current by changing the frequency of the primary-side bridge drive signal, thereby changing the resonant cavity impedance. Without synchronous rectification, the secondary-side bridge remains uncontrolled throughout this process, relying solely on its body diode for rectification. When synchronous rectification is applied, a suitable drive signal is applied to the secondary bridge, causing its channel to turn on when the body diode begins to conduct, allowing current to flow through the channel, and turning off when the channel current crosses zero. Synchronous rectification places relatively strict requirements on the turn-on and turn-off times of the switching transistors.
[0052] Taking the converter operating in underresonant mode as an example, combined with Figure 5 The specific synchronous rectification control strategy proposed in this invention is as follows:
[0053] Step 1: Obtain the proportionally reduced resonant current using a current transformer. Detect the resonant current on the secondary side using a current transformer connected in series with the secondary side; denoted as i. Lr2 The turns ratio of the primary and secondary windings of the current transformer is 1:N, and the detected current signal is...
[0054] Step 2: Convert the detected resonant current signal into a voltage signal and amplify and shift it. The detected current signal is converted into a voltage signal through a sensing resistor, and the voltage signal is amplified by a differential amplifier circuit. Let the sensing resistor be R. sense The amplifier circuit has a gain of k and a DC voltage bias of V. ref The processed voltage signal is V sense =kR sense i sense +V ref ;
[0055] Step 3: Compare the output of the differential operational amplifier circuit with the bias voltage to obtain the zero-crossing signal of the secondary-side resonant current, and acquire the conduction information of the anti-parallel diode of the secondary-side switching transistor. In a bidirectional CLLC resonant converter, the polarity of the secondary-side resonant current determines the conduction status of the anti-parallel diode of the secondary-side switching transistor. The output of the differential operational amplifier current is compared with the bias voltage V... ref Compare and output the zero-crossing signal V of the resonant current. c When V c >V ref At that time, V c =1, at this time, the fifth anti-parallel diode D5 connected in parallel with the fifth switch S5 on the secondary side and the eighth anti-parallel diode D8 connected in parallel with the eighth switch S8 on the secondary side are in the on state; when V c <V ref At that time, V c =0, at this time the sixth anti-parallel diode D6 connected in parallel with the sixth switch S6 on the secondary side and the seventh anti-parallel diode D7 connected in parallel with the seventh switch S7 on the secondary side are in the conducting state.
[0056] Step 4: Determine the timer's start time based on the conduction information of the anti-parallel diode on the secondary side of the switching transistor. The zero-crossing signal of the resonant current is determined by V. c =1 becomes V c At time t1, when the secondary-side resonant current changes from positive to zero, the timer t of the fifth and eighth switches on the secondary side is triggered. clk1 The zero-crossing signal of the resonant current is determined by V. c=0 becomes V c At time t2, when the secondary-side resonant current changes from negative to zero, the timer t of the sixth and seventh switches on the secondary side is triggered. clk2 .
[0057] Step 5: The drive circuit determines the turn-off time of the synchronous rectification signal of the secondary-side switching transistor based on the timer signal. Timer signal t clk1 With t clk2 The turn-on time is the same as the turn-off time of the anti-parallel diode on the secondary side. The zero-crossing point t1 where the resonant current changes from positive to zero is the timer signal t. clk1 At the time of generation, the fifth and eighth switches on the secondary side are turned off, and the timer signal t is activated. clk1 During the timing period, the fifth and eighth switches on the secondary side remain in the off state; the zero-crossing point t2 where the resonant current changes from negative to zero is the timer signal t. clk2 At the time of generation, the sixth and seventh switches on the secondary side are turned off, and the timer signal t is activated. clk2 During the timing period, the sixth and seventh switches on the secondary side remain in the off state.
[0058] Step 6: The logic circuit determines the turn-on time of the synchronous rectification signal and the turn-off time of the timer signal of the secondary-side switching transistors based on the primary-side switching transistor drive signal. The turn-on time of the fifth anti-parallel diode D5 connected in parallel with the fifth secondary-side switching transistor S5 and the eighth anti-parallel diode D8 connected in parallel with the eighth secondary-side switching transistor S8 are consistent with the turn-on time of the first primary-side switching transistor S1 and the fourth primary-side switching transistor S4; the turn-on time of the sixth anti-parallel diode D6 connected in parallel with the sixth secondary-side switching transistor S6 and the seventh anti-parallel diode D7 connected in parallel with the seventh secondary-side switching transistor S7 are consistent with the turn-on time of the second primary-side switching transistor S2 and the third primary-side switching transistor S3. The original drive signals of the fifth and eighth switches on the secondary side (S5 and S8) can be consistent with the drive signals of the first and fourth switches on the primary side (S1 and S4); the original drive signals of the sixth and seventh switches on the secondary side (S6 and S7) can be consistent with the drive signals of the second and third switches on the primary side (S2 and S3). When the turn-on signals of the sixth and seventh switches on the secondary side arrive (i.e., at time t3), the timer t is turned off. clk1 When the signals from the fifth and eighth switches on the secondary side arrive, i.e., at time t4, timer t is turned off. clk2 .
[0059] Step 7: In each subsequent switching cycle, the controller determines the turn-on and turn-off times of the switching transistor in this cycle based on the detected secondary side current polarity and the original drive signal information.
[0060] Finally, it should be noted that the above examples are merely some specific embodiments of the present invention. Obviously, the present invention is not limited to the above embodiments and can have many variations. For example, the strategy proposed according to the present invention can be used in synchronous rectification control of other types of resonant converters, and can also be applied to converter protection, closed-loop control, and other applications. All variations that can be directly derived or conceived by those skilled in the art from the disclosure of the present invention should be considered within the scope of protection of the present invention.
