摘要
A new zero-voltage switching (ZVS) dc converter for high input voltage and high output current applications is presented in this paper. Two three-level pulse-width modulation (PWM) circuits with the same active switches connected in parallel at the output side are adopted to achieve load current sharing and to decrease current stress of rectifier diodes. The center-tapped rectifiers are adopted at the secondary side to have only one diode conduction loss in the forward current path. The series resonant tank of three-level converter is used to achieve ZVS turn-on for all power switches and zero-current switching for all rectifier diodes within nearly entire load range. Thus, the switching losses of power switches are reduced and the reverse recovery losses of rectifier diodes are eliminated. In order to overcome the drawback of a wide range of switching frequency in conventional series resonant converters, the fixed frequency pulse-width modulation is adopted to regulate the output voltage. The series-connected transformers are used in the primary and secondary sides to share and balance the load current. Finally, experiments based on a laboratory prototype are provided to verify the operation principle and demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed converter.
