Description

Technical Field

[0001] This application belongs to the field of optimal design of power electronic devices, and more specifically, relates to a magnetic coupling energy storage element under a high duty cycle and a obtaining method thereof. Background Art

[0002] The design of non-isolated buck DC-DC power supplies pursues technical indicators such as high power density, high efficiency, and high voltage conversion ratio. The switched-capacitor topology has become a research hotspot due to its advantages such as low switching loss, high energy density, and high conversion ratio. However, the traditional switched-capacitor topology has significant defects when the duty cycle exceeds 0.5; the inductor current balancing mechanism fails, and the voltage conversion ratio deviates from the theoretical value to ..., resulting in the deterioration of the output characteristics. Recent research has proposed to restore current balance and maintain a conversion ratio of D / 2 by an asymmetric modulation method (fixing the duty cycle of one phase at 0.5 and adjusting the duty cycle of the other phase to be above 0.5 (D)). In addition, as an element with low energy density in a power converter, the volume of the inductor directly affects the compactness of the system. In the prior art, although magnetic coupling energy storage elements are widely used in multi-phase interleaved topologies to reduce current ripple, their design methods have the following limitations: 1. Lack of volume optimization: The currently proposed magnetic coupling energy storage elements mainly focus on suppressing current ripple or optimizing transient response, and do not establish a quantitative correlation model between the core and winding volumes, making it difficult to achieve the goal of minimizing volume.

[0003] 2. Insufficient parameter coupling analysis: The traditional design method does not systematically analyze the combined influence of the coupling coefficient ( K ) and the duty cycle (D) on the volume of the magnetic coupling energy storage element. Although existing research has pointed out that an increase in the coupling coefficient can reduce the core volume, the synchronous increase in the winding volume has been ignored, resulting in one-sided conclusions.

[0004] 3. Poor adaptability to high duty cycle scenarios: Existing research mostly targets the conventional operating conditions of ordinary converters, lacking targeted design for the scenario of D > 0.5 under asymmetric modulation, resulting in the volume of the magnetic coupling energy storage element being unable to adapt to the high conversion ratio requirements.

[0005] 4. Low core utilization rate: The traditional core selection depends on empirical formulas and does not combine the magnetic flux distribution characteristics under asymmetric modulation, resulting in suboptimal matching of the cross-sectional area and magnetic path length. Summary of the Invention
