摘要

This paper proposes a new circuit topology for a high-efficiency isolated DC/DC converter using series compensation. The proposed converter consists of a high-efficiency resonance half-bridge converter and a series converter. The series converter regulates the output voltage and provides only the differential voltage between the input voltage and output voltage. Therefore, the circuit achieves high efficiency when the input voltage is almost equal to the output voltage, because then only the resonance converter will operate. In this paper, the approach employed to achieve high efficiency by using the proposed series compensation method is introduced. In addition, the fundamental operation and the method of designing the proposed circuit are described. The suitability of the proposed circuit was confirmed by performing experiment and loss analysis, and the maximum efficiency achieved was 96.2%.
