Description

A single-stage conversion device integrating Buck-Boost and full-bridge LCC circuit TECHNICAL FIELD

[0001] The present application relates to power converter, especially to a single-stage conversion device integrating Buck-Boost and full-bridge LCC circuit. BACKGROUND

[0002] With the rapid development of semiconductor technology, the fourth generation of electric light source LED has been widely used. Compared with the traditional electric light source, LED has many incomparable advantages, such as long life, high efficiency, low power consumption, high brightness, small size and other advantages, so it is particularly prominent in the application of lighting field. LED lighting system includes LED driving power and LED lamp two parts, and the core is LED driving power. High-efficiency and energy-saving high-power LED driving power becomes an important research direction in the industry.

[0003] High frequency and miniaturization are important indicators of current switching power supply design. If the driving power works in hard switching mode, the increase of switching frequency will produce a lot of switching loss, which reduces the conversion efficiency of the system. Therefore, the soft switching technology aiming at reducing switching loss has also become an important research hotspot in the field of power electronics.

[0004] Resonant converter, including series, parallel, series-parallel resonant converter, etc. are common soft switching converters. Resonant converter can realize zero voltage turn-on of switching tube and zero current turn-off of secondary side rectifier diode in a wide load range through reasonable design, thereby reducing switching tube loss and improving efficiency. AC-DC conversion adopts Buck-Boost topology, and the circuit works in discontinuous mode to automatically realize PFC function. It is a single-switch low-order boost-buck converter circuit, which realizes intermediate DC bus voltage boost-buck, and reduces the stress of LCC switching tube and capacitor in the latter stage.

[0005] The most mainstream technical solution at present: 1. High power is two-stage, which realizes power factor correction and voltage stabilization by the first stage Boost, and realizes output voltage stabilization (and electrical isolation, etc.) by the second stage DCDC (isolated or non-isolated topology). This scheme is mature in technology, but the system is complex, the cost is high, and the efficiency is low; 2. Small power single-stage PFC flyback, which realizes input power factor correction and output voltage stabilization at the same time by single-stage flyback, mainly applied to small power LED driving power. This scheme is mature in technology, simple in system, low in cost and high in efficiency, but the output has obvious power frequency ripple (which will cause LED lamp flicker), the input voltage range is narrow, and the lack of bus capacitor causes lightning surge problem.
