[0036] In this topology circuit, the drain of the switch tube S is connected to the DC input power supply V in The positive electrode is connected to the source of the auxiliary inductor L1 and the first end of the primary side of the transformer T (leakage inductance L 1k The second end of the auxiliary inductor L1 is connected to the first end of the clamping capacitor C1; the second end of the clamping capacitor C1 is connected to the anode of the clamping diode D1, the first junction capacitor C D1 The second end of the first freewheeling diode D2, the cathode of the second junction capacitor C D2 The first end of the clamping diode D1 is connected to the cathode of the first junction capacitor C D1 The first end of the first filter capacitor C2 and the second end of the primary side of the transformer T are connected to form a non-isolated output voltage V o1 The positive terminal (first load R L1 The positive electrode of the first filter capacitor C2 is connected to the DC input power supply V in The cathode, the anode of the first freewheeling diode D2, the second junction capacitor C D2 The second end is connected to form a non-isolated output voltage V o2 The negative terminal (first load R L1 The first end of the secondary side of the transformer T is connected to the anode of the second freewheeling diode D3; the cathode of the second freewheeling diode D3 is connected to the first end of the second filter capacitor C3 to form an isolated output voltage V o2 The positive terminal (second load R L2 The second end of the secondary side of the transformer T is connected to the second end of the second filter capacitor C3 to form an isolated output voltage V o2 The negative terminal (second load R L2 of the negative electrode).

[0037] DC input power supply V in It is sequentially connected in series with the primary side of the transformer T and the first filter capacitor C2 to form a first closed loop.

[0038] DC input power supply V in In sequence with the primary side of the transformer T, the first load R at the non-isolated output end L1 Connected in series to form a second closed loop.

[0039] DC input power supply V in The auxiliary inductor L1, the clamping capacitor C1, the clamping diode D1 and the first filter capacitor C2 are sequentially connected in series to form a third closed loop.

[0040] DC input power supply V inIn sequence with the auxiliary inductor L1, the clamping capacitor C1, the clamping diode D1, the first load R L1 Connected in series to form a fourth closed loop.

[0041] The secondary side of the first transformer T is connected in series with the second freewheeling diode D3 and the second filter capacitor C3 in sequence to form a fifth closed loop.

[0042] The secondary side of the first transformer T is connected in series with the second freewheeling diode D3 and the second load at the isolation output end in sequence to form a sixth closed loop.

[0043] The primary side of the transformer T is connected in series with the first filter capacitor C2, the first freewheeling diode D2, the clamping capacitor C1, and the auxiliary inductor L1 to form a first freewheeling loop.

[0044] The primary side of the transformer T is connected to the first load R at the non-isolated output end L1 , the first freewheeling diode D2, the clamping capacitor C1, and the auxiliary inductor L1 are connected in series to form a second freewheeling loop.

[0046] The second filter capacitor C3 and the second load R L2 Connected in series to form the fourth freewheeling circuit.

[0047] In this embodiment, the excitation inductance current of the transformer T, ignoring the current ripple, can be regarded as a constant current source. Due to the characteristic that the inductance current of the branch where the auxiliary inductor L1 cannot change suddenly, the current of the switch tube S cannot change suddenly after it is turned on, so that the switch tube, clamping diode, and rectifier diode are turned on at zero current.

[0048] In the embodiment of the present invention, the first junction capacitance C D1 , the second junction capacitance C D2 The first junction capacitance C D1 It can be an external parallel capacitor or the junction capacitance of the clamping diode D1 itself; the second junction capacitance C D2 It can be an external parallel capacitor or the junction capacitance of the first freewheeling diode D2 itself.

[0049] The auxiliary inductor L1 satisfies:

[0050]

[0051] Where: V o1 is the non-isolated output voltage; V o2 is the isolated output voltage; P o1 is the non-isolated output power; P o2 is the isolated output power; C Dis the junction capacitance of the clamping diode D1 (C D1 =C D2 =C D ), n is the primary-to-secondary turns ratio of transformer T, and D is the on-duty cycle of switch S.

[0052] When the above equation is satisfied, the peak current generated by the auxiliary inductor L1 and the clamping diode D1 branch is greater than the peak current of the clamping diode D1, and the clamping diode D1 and the first freewheeling diode D2 can be turned off at zero current.

[0053] In order to more clearly illustrate the embodiment of the present invention, the principle of the present invention is described in detail below. The working mode of the non-resonant soft switching dual output converter when operating in CCM mode is as follows: Figure 2 The specific description is as follows:

[0054] Considering that the clamping capacitor C1 and the first filter capacitor C2 have relatively large capacitance values ​​and their voltage ripple is ignored, the voltage of the clamping capacitor C1 and the first filter capacitor C2 can be regarded as constant voltage within one cycle. In practice, non-polar film capacitors can be used. The switch tube S is a metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOSFET) or an insulated gate bipolar transistor (IGBT). The junction capacitance C of the clamping diode D1 and the first freewheeling diode D2 is considered D1 With C D2 The capacitance is equal, and C D1 =C D2 =C D .

[0055] Here’s how it works:

[0056] like Figure 2 As shown in (a), before the switch tube S is turned on, the auxiliary inductor L1, the primary side of the transformer T, the first filter capacitor C2, and the first load R at the non-isolated output end are L1 , the first freewheeling diode D2, and the clamping capacitor C1 form a freewheeling circuit, i D2 =i L1 When the switch S is turned on, due to the auxiliary inductor L1 and the leakage inductance L of the transformer T 1k The existence of the first freewheeling diode D2 current i D2 The current of the auxiliary inductor L1 decreases linearly to zero. At this time, the first freewheeling diode D2 is turned off with zero current. At the same time, the auxiliary inductor L1 and the leakage inductor L 1k The existence of the switch tube S also suppresses the current i S The rising speed of the clamping diode D1 current i D1 The rising speed of the switch tube S and the clamping diode D1 is zero current turned on. L1The peak current is:

[0057]

[0058] After reaching the peak value, the reverse voltage of the auxiliary inductor L1 is approximately constant, i L1 It decreases linearly and naturally drops to zero during the on-cycle of the switch tube S. At this time, the clamping diode D1 is turned off with non-resonant zero current. During the on-cycle of the switch tube S, the same-name terminal of the primary side of the transformer T is positive, so the second freewheeling diode D3 on the secondary side is turned on. At this time, the input power supply V in Not only to the load R L1 Transfer energy through transformer T to load R L2 Transfer energy.

[0059] like Figure 2 As shown in (b), when the switch tube S is turned off, the currents of the auxiliary inductor L1, the clamping capacitor C1 and the clamping diode D1 have dropped to zero when S is turned on. Considering the existence of the auxiliary inductor L1, the rising speed of the current of the first freewheeling diode D2 is suppressed, so the first freewheeling diode D2 is turned on with zero current. D2 The leakage inductance L of the transformer T 1k Current i L1k (Transformer primary current i P ) are equal, it completely enters the freewheeling state. In the off cycle of switch S, since the same-name terminal of the primary side of transformer T is negative, the second freewheeling diode D3 is cut off, and the second filter capacitor C3 supplies current to the load R L2 Release energy.

[0060] The non-resonant soft-switching dual-output converter of the embodiment of the present invention utilizes the auxiliary inductor L1 to realize the zero-current turn-on of the switch tube S, the clamping diode D1, and the first freewheeling diode D2, and the zero-current turn-off of the clamping diode D1 and the first freewheeling diode D2. In addition, the disadvantage that the voltage stress of the power device of the traditional buck converter changes with the input voltage conversion is solved, and finally the stability and efficiency of the whole system are improved.

[0061] The above is only an embodiment of the present application and is not intended to limit the protection scope of the present application. Any modification, equivalent replacement and improvement made within the spirit and scope of the present application are included in the protection scope of the present application.
