Currently, the common method to achieve soft turn-off of the lagging arm components is to increase the primary-side inductance. However, this method adds additional magnetic components, increasing the primary-side loss, size, and circulating current loss in the freewheeling stage.

[0042] Figure 2 A schematic diagram of a phase-shifted full-bridge converter with low switching element losses is provided in one embodiment of this application. Figure 2 As shown, the phase-shifting full-bridge converter includes a full-bridge inverter circuit, a transformer TF, a resonant circuit connected between the full-bridge inverter circuit and the primary side of the transformer, and a rectifier and filter circuit connected to the secondary side of the transformer.

[0043] The full-bridge inverter circuit, connected to the input power supply Vin, consists of switching elements Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4, and is used to convert the input power supply... V in The output DC power is inverted into AC power.

[0044] Switching elements Q1, Q2, Q3, and Q4 are MOSFET switching transistors. Among them, switching elements Q1 and Q2 are leading-arm elements, and switching elements Q3 and Q4 are lagging-arm elements.

[0045] The resonant circuit includes a resonant capacitor Cb and a resonant inductor L1 connected in series, which are used to achieve soft turn-on or soft turn-off of the switching elements in the full-bridge inverter circuit.

[0046] Transformer TF is used for voltage transformation.

[0047] The rectifier-filter circuit includes a rectifier circuit and a filter circuit. The rectifier circuit includes rectifier diodes D1 and D2 connected to the two output terminals on the secondary side of the transformer, and the filter circuit includes inductor L2 and capacitor C2. The rectifier-filter circuit is used to rectify and filter the AC power before outputting it to the load.

[0048] The operation of a full-bridge inverter circuit is divided into two stages. Stage one is defined as the two diodes D1 and D2 on the secondary side of the transformer not conducting simultaneously, and stage two is defined as the two diodes D1 and D2 conducting simultaneously. In stage two, the primary and secondary sides of the transformer are electrically disconnected, and the energy of the junction capacitance of the lagging arm element can only be drawn away through the energy of the resonant inductor L1. Therefore, if the lagging arm element is to achieve soft turn-off, the resonant inductor L1 needs to have a large inductance value.

[0049] In the existing technology, in order to achieve soft turn-off of the lagging arm of the phase-shifted full-bridge converter, the inductance value of the resonant inductor L1 on the primary side of the transformer is increased or other components are added. This increases the primary side loss, size, and circulating current loss in the freewheeling stage, while reducing the output gain of the power supply and affecting the wide-range output performance of the phase-shifted full-bridge converter.

[0050] To address this technical problem, this application proposes a time-sharing resonant high power density phase-shifted full-bridge converter. Without requiring the use of larger inductors or reduced switching frequencies that would negatively impact the power density and performance of the phase-shifted full-bridge converter, this application ensures that when the secondary winding of the transformer is short-circuited, the resonant circuit is in the capacitive range before the turn-off time of the lagging arm element in the full-bridge inverter circuit. This causes the resonant cavity current of the resonant circuit to cross zero in the reverse direction, making the lagging arm element meet the soft-turn-off condition. This reduces the total switching losses of the full-bridge inverter circuit, decreases the size of the phase-shifted full-bridge converter, and increases its power density.

[0051] The following is in conjunction with the appendix Figures 3-5 The two-stage control process of a phase-shifted full-bridge converter with low switching element losses is described in detail.

[0052] In this embodiment, the full-bridge inverter circuit adopts full-bridge phase-shift control, and the positive periodic analysis of the resonant cavity current is used as an example for illustration.

[0053] Phase 1: such as Figure 3 and Figure 5 As shown, diode D1 is conducting, and diode D2 is cut off. ta is the turn-on time of switching element Q2. Before this time, the full-bridge inverter circuit is in stage one. The prerequisite for soft turn-on of switching element Q2 is that the primary resonant inductance L1 and the secondary inductance L2 of the transformer have sufficient energy to remove the charge from the junction capacitance of switching element Q2, ensuring that when switching element Q2 is turned on at time ta, the voltage drop across it is 0V, thus achieving soft turn-on of switching element Q2.

[0054] In some embodiments, to ensure the stability of the output DC voltage, the secondary inductance L2 of the phase-shifted full-bridge converter transformer is generally large, and the lead-arm components are more likely to achieve soft turn-on.

[0055] Phase Two: such as Figure 4 and Figure 5 As shown, tb represents the turn-off moment of switch element Q4. Before this moment, the circuit is in stage two. Due to the simultaneous conduction of diodes D1 and D2 on the secondary side of the transformer, the secondary winding of the transformer is short-circuited. In this stage, the primary and secondary sides of the transformer are electrically disconnected. Only the resonant capacitor Cb and the resonant inductor L1 in the primary circuit of the transformer participate in resonance. By configuring the parameters of the resonant capacitor Cb and the resonant inductor L1, the circuit is in the capacitive range when switch element Q4 is turned off. The resonant cavity current flows in reverse through the body diode of switch element Q4 before the bridge arm operates. Therefore, during the turn-off transient of switch element Q4, the voltage across its terminals is clamped to 0V. The turn-off of switch element Q4 is a zero-voltage turn-off, that is, no turning-off loss occurs, thus achieving soft turn-off of switch element Q4.

[0056] The principle for configuring the parameters of resonant capacitor Cb and resonant inductor L1 is as follows:

[0057] One duty cycle of a phase-shifted full-bridge converter is actually composed of four states combined. Figure 6 Detailed analysis of each state:

[0058] First state: such as Figure 6 As shown, the t0~t1 stage is the first state stage, during which switching elements Q2 and Q4 are turned on. The circuit in this stage can be equivalent to... Figure 7 As shown in (a), let time t0 be the initial time of this stage, at which time the resonant capacitor voltage is... The resonant inductor current is Then the resonant inductor current of the resonant circuit in this stage and resonant capacitor voltage The expression is:

[0059]

[0060] in The transformer turns ratio This represents the DC voltage value across the output load.

[0061] Second state: such as Figure 6 As shown, the t1~t2 stage is the second state stage. During this stage, switching elements Q2 and Q4 are turned on, and the transformer is in a state where the primary and secondary sides are disconnected. The circuit in this stage can be equivalent to... Figure 7 As shown in (b), let time t1 be the initial time of this stage, at which time the resonant capacitor voltage is... The resonant inductor current is Then the expressions for each state quantity of the resonant circuit in this stage are:

[0062]

[0063] Third state: such as Figure 6 As shown, the t2~t3 stage is the third state stage. During this stage, switching elements Q2 and Q3 are turned on. Since both diodes on the secondary side are fully conducting, this stage is a duty cycle loss stage. The circuit in this stage can be equivalent to... Figure 7 As shown in (c), let time t2 be the initial time of this stage, at which time the resonant capacitor voltage is... The resonant inductor current is Then the expressions for each state quantity of the resonant circuit in this stage are:

[0064]

[0065] in This is the output bus voltage value.

[0066] Fourth state: such as Figure 6 As shown, the t3~t4 stage is the fourth state stage. During this stage, switching elements Q2 and Q3 are turned on, and energy is transferred between the primary and secondary sides through the transformer. The circuit in this stage can be equivalent to... Figure 7 As shown in (d), let time t3 be the initial time of this stage, at which time the resonant capacitor voltage is... The resonant inductor current is Then the expressions for each state quantity of the resonant circuit in this stage are:

[0067]

[0068] From the phase-shifted full-bridge converter, the peak value of the resonant cavity current is the current value at time t0. as follows:

[0069]

[0070] in, For switching frequency, This refers to the output power.

[0071] When the phase-shifted full-bridge operates in steady state, the resonant capacitor voltage period is symmetrical. Based on the expressions for the first to fourth states, the value at time t0 can be obtained. as follows:

[0072]

[0073] Where ts is the moment when the resonant cavity current crosses zero.

[0074] To achieve soft turn-off of the lagging arm elements Q3 and Q4 in the phase-shifted full-bridge, it is necessary to ensure that the resonant cavity current crosses zero in the reverse direction before the turn-off time of the lagging arm element Q4. That is, the zero-crossing time of the resonant cavity current must be before time t2. In actual design, to quickly enter the electrical disconnection state of the transformer's primary and secondary sides (t1~t2 stage) and allow the resonant capacitor Cb and resonant inductor L1 to begin resonance, the design parameters will make the t1~t2 time length much longer than the t0~t1 time length. Therefore, the t0~t1 time can be ignored in the design. Under this premise... , Let the time from t1 to ts be t1, t1~t2 time is t2, that is, satisfying t1< A soft shutdown can be achieved at t2. t1 and The expression for t2 is as follows:

[0075]

[0076]

[0077] The resonant capacitance value C that satisfies the soft turn-off condition b The range of the resonant inductance value L1 is as follows:

[0078]

[0079] Theoretically, under steady-state conditions, by connecting the beginning and end conditions of all states within a cycle and solving the simultaneous state equations, the analytical expressions for each state variable of the phase-shifted full-bridge converter over the entire cycle can be obtained. However, as the above analysis clearly shows, directly solving for the analytical expressions of the state variables is extremely difficult, and may even result in no analytical solution after solving the simultaneous equations. Therefore, simulation calculations using numerical simulation software are typically a more efficient analytical method.

[0080] Figure 8 The resonant capacitance C for achieving soft turn-off of the hysteresis arm element across the entire load range in this example phase-shifted full-bridge topology is given. b A schematic diagram showing the selection of parameters for the resonant inductance value L1 is shown below. Figure 8 As shown, the resonant capacitance value C b The parameters of the resonant inductance value L1 can be selected on the left side of the curve to satisfy the soft turn-off condition of the hysteresis arm element across the entire load range.

[0081] Figure 9 Two different resonant capacitance values ​​C are given. bThe curves comparing the switching losses of different output powers under the resonant inductance value L1 are shown. Since the turn-off loss of the leading arm is consistent with existing solutions, a separate loss curve is not plotted here. The total loss is the sum of the leading arm conduction loss, the lagging arm switching loss, and the lagging arm conduction loss. As can be seen from the curves, using the parameters selected in the proposed technical solution (… Compared to the parameters used in existing solutions () The switching losses and conduction losses of the switching elements are reduced, and the total loss is reduced more as the load increases.

[0082] In summary, under the premise of time-sharing operation of the circuit, the proposed solution can simultaneously achieve soft turn-on of the leading arm and soft turn-off of the lagging arm at different stages through different technical methods, thereby reducing switching losses and circulating current losses, eliminating the need for additional components, and improving the power density of the power supply.

[0083] It is understandable that the switching elements Q1 and Q3 are structurally the same as those Q2 and Q4, and their soft-switching method is also the same as that of the switching elements Q2 and Q4, so it will not be elaborated here.

[0084] In other embodiments, the full-bridge inverter circuit can also be controlled by PWM to make the resonant circuit intermittently in the inductive or capacitive range, thereby achieving soft turn-on of the leading arm element and soft disconnection of the lagging arm element.

[0085] Figure 10 A schematic diagram of a phase-shifted full-bridge converter with low switching element losses is provided in another embodiment of this application. (See attached diagram.) Figure 10 As shown, the resonant circuit includes only the resonant capacitor Cb. In this embodiment, by configuring the parameters of the resonant capacitor Cb and the leakage inductance Lb of the transformer, the hysteresis arm element meets the soft-turn-off condition.

[0086] In this embodiment, the leakage inductance Lb of the transformer is used to replace the resonant inductance L1, and the parameters of the resonant capacitor Cb and the leakage inductance Lb satisfy the following conditions:

[0087]

[0088] By having the leakage inductance Lb of the transformer resonate with the resonant capacitor Cb, the hysteresis arm element meets the soft turn-off condition, thereby further improving the power density.

[0089] The technical features of the above embodiments can be combined in any way. For the sake of brevity, not all possible combinations of the technical features in the above embodiments are described. However, as long as there is no contradiction in the combination of these technical features, they should be considered to be within the scope of this specification.

[0090] The above embodiments merely illustrate several implementation methods of this application, and while the descriptions are relatively specific and detailed, they should not be construed as limiting the scope of the invention patent. It should be noted that those skilled in the art can make various modifications and improvements without departing from the concept of this application, and these all fall within the protection scope of this application. Therefore, the protection scope of this patent application should be determined by the appended claims.
