摘要

The interleaving technique is necessary for LLC resonant converters to achieve high power level. The advantages include expanded power capacity, lower output ripple current, and higher light-load efficiency by using phase shedding. However, conventional frequency-controlled LLC converters will lose regulation in individual phases if all the phases are operating at the same switching frequency, causing load sharing problem. Existing load sharing solutions for interleaved LLC converters all have limitations. In this paper, a switch-controlled capacitor (SCC) modulated LLC converter (SCC-LLC) is presented to solve the load-sharing problem. With constant switching frequency, interleaving and phase shedding can be achieved. A 600-W, two-phase interleaved constant frequency SCC-LLC prototype is built to verify the feasibility and demonstrate the advantages.
