Soft-switching converters with constant switching frequency With two or more active switches, we can obtain zero-voltage switching in converters operating at constant switching frequency Often, the converter characteristics are nearly the same as their hardswitched PWM parent converters The second switch may be one that is already in the PWM parent converter (synchronous rectifier, or part of a half or full bridge). Sometimes, it is not, and is a (hopefully small) auxiliary switch Examples: • Two-switch quasi-square wave (with synchronous rectifier) • Two-switch multiresonant (with synchronous rectifier) • Phase-shifted bridge with zero voltage transitions • Forward or other converter with active clamp circuit These converters can exhibit stresses and characteristics that approach those of the parent hard-switched PWM converter (especially the last two), but with zero-voltage switching over a range of operating points ECEN 5817 Resonant and Soft-Switching Techniques in Power Electronics 1 Lecture 37 Quasi-square wave buck with two switches Original one-switch version • Q2 can be viewed as a synchronous rectifier • Additional degree of control is possible: let Q2 conduct longer than D2 would otherwise conduct • Constant switching frequency control is possible, with behavior similar to conventional PWM Add synchronous rectifier • Can obtain µ < 0.5 • See Maksimovic PhD thesis, 1989 ECEN 5817 Resonant and Soft-Switching Techniques in Power Electronics 2 Lecture 37 The multiresonant switch Basic single-transistor version Synchronous rectifier version ECEN 5817 Resonant and Soft-Switching Techniques in Power Electronics 3 Lecture 37 Multiresonant switch characteristics Single transistor version Analysis via state plane in supplementary course notes ECEN 5817 Resonant and Soft-Switching Techniques in Power Electronics 4 Lecture 37 Multiresonant switch characteristics Two-transistor version with constant frequency ECEN 5817 Resonant and Soft-Switching Techniques in Power Electronics 5 Lecture 37 ZVS active clamp circuits The auxiliary switch approach Forward converter implementation Flyback converter implementation • Circuit can be added to any single switch in a PWM converter • Main switch plus auxiliary switch behave as half-bridge circuit with deadtime zero-voltage transitions • Beware of patent issues ECEN 5817 Resonant and Soft-Switching Techniques in Power Electronics 6 Lecture 37 Forward converter implementation • Zero-voltage switching of both transistors • Analysis in an upcoming lecture ECEN 5817 Resonant and Soft-Switching Techniques in Power Electronics • Resonant reset of transformer reduces transistor peak voltage, relative to traditional forward converter with auxiliary reset winding • Small increase of rms transistor current 7 Lecture 37 Zero-voltage transition converters The phase-shifted full bridge converter Buck-derived full-bridge converter A popular converter for server frontend power systems Zero-voltage switching of each halfbridge section Each half-bridge produces a square wave voltage. Phase-shifted control of converter output ECEN 5817 Resonant and Soft-Switching Techniques in Power Electronics 8 Efficiencies of 90% to 95% regularly attained Controller chips available Lecture 37 Phase-shifted control Approximate waveforms and results (as predicted by analysis of the parent hardswitched converter) ECEN 5817 Resonant and Soft-Switching Techniques in Power Electronics 9 Lecture 37 Actual waveforms, including resonant transitions ECEN 5817 Resonant and Soft-Switching Techniques in Power Electronics 10 Lecture 37 Result of analysis Basic configuration: full bridge ZVT • Phase shift assumes the role of duty cycle d in converter equations • Effective duty cycle is reduced by the resonant transition intervals • Reduction in effective duty cycle can be expressed as a function of the form FPZVT(J), where PZVT(J) is a negative number similar in magnitude to 1. F is generally pretty small, so that the resonant transitions do not require a substantial fraction of the switching period • Circuit looks symmetrical, but the control, and hence the operation, isn’t. One side of bridge loses ZVS before the other.
