Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of AC-DC conversion and power factor correction technology for power conversion devices, and in particular to a bridgeless isolated SEPIC PFC converter with active clamping. Background Technology
[0002] In single-phase AC-DC power supplies, a basic AC-DC conversion can be achieved using a diode rectifier bridge and a large-capacity DC bus capacitor. However, this scheme results in a pulsed input current, leading to problems such as low power factor, high input current harmonic content, and pollution of the AC power grid. To meet the requirements of low harmonics and high power factor, a power factor correction circuit is typically introduced at the front end.
[0003] Existing isolated PFC power supplies mostly employ a two-stage structure, where the front-stage PFC circuit shapes the input current, and the rear-stage isolated DC-DC converter provides electrical isolation and output voltage regulation. This two-stage approach involves numerous control components and devices, requiring energy to undergo two conversions, which limits system efficiency and power density. The isolated SEPIC PFC converter, however, can simultaneously achieve buck-boost, isolation, and power factor correction within a single stage, making it suitable for high-power-density power supply applications.
[0004] However, traditional isolated SEPIC PFC converters with rectifier bridges have at least several semiconductor devices conducting in the input current path, resulting in significant conduction losses. Simultaneously, the leakage inductance of the isolation transformer easily generates high voltage spikes when the main switch is turned off, increasing voltage stress on the switch and causing electromagnetic interference. While traditional RCD passive snubber circuits or clamping circuits can limit voltage spikes, they dissipate leakage inductance energy across resistors, reducing system efficiency.
[0005] Therefore, there is a need for an isolated PFC converter that can reduce rectifier bridge conduction losses, recover leakage inductance energy, suppress voltage spikes in the switching transistors, and achieve soft switching. Summary of the Invention
[0006] The purpose of this invention is to provide a bridgeless, actively clamped, isolated SEPIC PFC converter to solve the problems of high conduction loss, difficulty in recovering leakage inductance energy from the isolation transformer, and large voltage spikes and switching losses in existing isolated PFC converters with rectifier bridges.
[0007] The technical solution to achieve the purpose of this invention is as follows: an isolated active clamp ZVS SEPIC AC-DC converter, comprising a main power circuit and a control circuit, wherein the main power circuit includes an AC input terminal V in Boost inductor L bThe circuit consists of a first power frequency diode D1, a second power frequency diode D2, an interstage capacitor C, an isolation transformer, a secondary rectifier unit, an output filter unit, an active clamping branch, and a bridgeless high-frequency switching branch; the active clamping branch includes a clamping capacitor C. r The circuit includes a clamping switch S3; the bridgeless high-frequency switching branch includes a first high-frequency switch S1 and a second high-frequency switch S2; the control circuit includes an input / output voltage sampling circuit and a current sampling circuit. The control circuit controls the conduction state of the first high-frequency switch S1, the second high-frequency switch S2 and the clamping switch S3 according to the polarity of the input voltage, so that the converter can achieve power factor correction and isolated DC output in continuous current mode.
[0008] Compared with the prior art, the significant advantages of this invention are: (1) the input rectifier bridge is eliminated, the number of semiconductor devices in the input current path is reduced, and the conduction loss is reduced; (2) the active clamping branch can recover the leakage inductance energy of the transformer and suppress the switching voltage spike; (3) the main switch can achieve zero voltage turn-on in a wide operating range, reducing switching loss and electromagnetic interference; (4) it is suitable for high-frequency and miniaturized isolated PFC power supplies.

SR The input terminal of the secondary-side synchronous rectifier S SR The output terminal of the capacitor is connected to the positive terminal, and the other end of the secondary winding of the isolation transformer is connected to the negative terminal; the output capacitor C o The two ends of the capacitor are connected to the positive and negative terminals of the output, respectively. The load is connected between the positive and negative terminals of the output, so that the output capacitor C... o It is connected in parallel with the load to form an isolated DC output terminal.
[0020] The output voltage sampling circuit is connected to the output terminal of the output filter unit, that is, connected to the output capacitor C. o The two ends are used to collect the output voltage V at the output terminal of the isolation converter. o The input voltage sampling circuit is connected to the AC input terminal V. in The two ends are used to collect the input voltage v vin The current sampling circuit is connected in series in the boost inductor branch to collect the boost inductor current i. Lb The input voltage sampling circuit is connected to the AC input terminal V.in The two ends are used to collect the input voltage v vin The control circuit is based on the input voltage v vin .
[0021] The active clamping branch receives leakage inductance energy from the isolation transformer and equivalent resonant inductance L during the high-frequency switch turn-off period. r Energy is fed back to the power transfer process to limit voltage spikes across the first high-frequency switch S1 or the second high-frequency switch S2.
[0022] When the AC input voltage is in the positive half-cycle, the first high-frequency switch S1 remains on, and the second high-frequency switch S2 and the clamping switch S3 are complementary in conduction; when the AC input voltage is in the negative half-cycle, the second high-frequency switch S2 remains on, and the first high-frequency switch S1 and the clamping switch S3 are complementary in conduction.
[0023] The clamping switch S3 achieves soft switching during the resonance process of the active clamping branch. During the positive half-cycle of the input voltage, the junction capacitance of the second high-frequency switch S2 is discharged and the junction capacitance of the clamping switch S3 is charged through the boost inductor current and the equivalent resonant inductor current during the dead time, enabling the second high-frequency switch S2 to achieve zero-voltage turn-on. During the negative half-cycle of the input voltage, the junction capacitance of the first high-frequency switch S1 is discharged and the junction capacitance of the clamping switch S3 is charged through the boost inductor current and the equivalent resonant inductor current during the dead time, enabling the first high-frequency switch S1 to achieve zero-voltage turn-on. Since the clamping switch S3 is a naturally soft-switching switch, the ZVS of the second high-frequency switch S2 is mainly considered during the positive half-cycle, and the ZVS of the first high-frequency switch S1 is mainly considered during the negative half-cycle.
[0024] The ZVS condition for the converter is:
[0025] ,
[0026] Among them, f r f is the resonant frequency. s Where is the switching frequency, and M is the output voltage to input voltage transfer ratio. Where S is the duty cycle of the clamping switch S3, and D is the duty cycle of the high-frequency switch. .
[0027] ,
[0028] Among them, L Lr For the equivalent resonant inductance L r The sensitivity value, C Cr Clamping capacitor C r The capacitance value.
[0029] For ease of explanation, assume that the output voltage ripple is relatively small compared to the DC component, the switching frequency is much higher than the input voltage frequency, and the input voltage can be approximated as constant within one high-frequency switching cycle.
[0030] During the positive half-cycle of the input voltage, the first high-frequency switch S1 remains on, while the second high-frequency switch S2 and the clamping switch S3 conduct complementary high-frequency signals. During the negative half-cycle of the input voltage, the second high-frequency switch S2 remains on, while the first high-frequency switch S1 and the clamping switch S3 conduct complementary high-frequency signals. Since the positive and negative half-cycles are symmetrical, the following explanation uses the positive half-cycle as an example to illustrate its operating mode.
[0031] like Figure 2 As shown in Figure 3, when the converter operates in continuous current mode, it can be divided into five modes within one high-frequency switching cycle.
[0032] Mode 1: First high-frequency switch S1 and second high-frequency switch S2 are turned on, clamping switch S3 is turned off, and the input voltage v vin Added to boost inductor L b At both ends, the boost inductor current i Lb Linear rise; the voltage across the interstage capacitor C acts on the magnetizing inductor L m and equivalent resonant inductance L r Magnetizing inductor current i Lm and equivalent resonant inductor current i Lr Linear increase.

The current path in this mode is: boost inductor current i Lb From the AC input terminal v in The current begins to flow through the boost inductor L b The circuit consists of the first high-frequency switch S1, interstage capacitor C, active clamp branch and transformer parallel branch, second power frequency diode D2, and then returns to the AC input terminal V. in Equivalent resonant inductor current i Lr Flow through clamping capacitor C r The clamping switch S3 and the isolation transformer transfer energy to the secondary side; the secondary current i s Flow through the secondary side synchronous rectifier tube S SR It provides energy to the output capacitor and the load.

At this time, the boost inductor current i Lb With the equivalent resonant inductor current i Lr The difference discharges the junction capacitance of the second high-frequency switch S2 and charges the junction capacitance of the clamping switch S3, resulting in an equivalent resonant inductance L. r Resonance with the junction capacitance ensures that the second high-frequency switch S2 has zero-voltage turn-on conditions before the next mode is turned on. The current path for this mode is: boost inductor current i Lb From the AC input terminal v in The current begins to flow through the boost inductor Lb The junction capacitance of the second high-frequency switch S2, the second power frequency diode D2, and then return to the AC input terminal V. in Equivalent resonant inductor current i Lr Flow through clamping capacitor C r The junction capacitance of the clamping switch S3 and the isolation transformer transfer energy to the secondary side; the secondary current i s Flow through the secondary side synchronous rectifier tube S SR It provides energy to the output capacitor and the load.

[0063] As can be seen from the above modes, clamping switch S3 can achieve soft switching in the active clamping branch. During the positive half-cycle, the junction capacitance of the second high-frequency switch S2 is charged and discharged mainly through the boost inductor current and the equivalent resonant inductor current to achieve zero-voltage turn-on of S2. During the negative half-cycle, the same mechanism is used to achieve zero-voltage turn-on of the first high-frequency switch S1. The zero-voltage turn-on range is related to the equivalent resonant inductance L. r Clamping capacitor C r Output power is related to the power frequency phase angle, such as Figure 4 As shown, when the equivalent resonant inductance value is appropriate, the converter can obtain a wide soft-switching range within half a power frequency cycle.
