Keywords Full bridge converer, phase shif pulse widh modulaion (PSPWM) sof swiching, zero volage swiching (ZVS), phase shif (PS), passive auxiliary circui, ZVS range I. INTRODUCTION In medium o high power DC-DC converer applicaions, full bridge phase shif pulse widh modulaion (FB-PSPWM) converers are widely used because of is fixed swiching frequency ZVS operaion, high efficiency, low EMI, relaively small circulaing energy, uilizaion of oupu parasiic capaciance of he swiches and uilizaion of leakage inducance of he ransformer [1-3]. However, convenional FB-PSPWM converer has main drawback of limied range of operaion over which he ZVS can be achieved. ZVS of he lef leg swiches in he convenional FB-PSPWM converer mainly depend on he energy sored in he leakage inducance of he ransformer. A ligh load, energy sored in he leakage inducance of he ransformer is no sufficien o charge/discharge he swich capaciances and his leads o loss of ZVS condiion. The loss of ZVS a ligh loads leads o 1) High swiching losses 2) Higher EMI due o high di/d of he snubber discharging circui. Therefore, i is desirable o mainain ZVS of he swiches over he enire range of operaion. Several echniques have been presened in lieraure o increase he ZVS range of convenional FB-PSPWM. Use of higher inducance in series wih he ransformer is repored o increase ZVS range bu i leads o higher duy cycle loss as well as ringing across he secondary side recifier diodes [4]. In his design higher urns raio of ransformer is required o ge he desired oupu volage, his resuls in higher primary refleced curren and higher conducion loss in swiches. In second echnique a saurable reacor is used in series wih he primary winding or wih he secondary side diodes [5]. The advanage of he FB-PSPWM DC-DC converer incorporaing saurable resonan inducor is ha wider range of operaion under ZVS is mainained wihou significan increase in conducion loss of he swiches. However, o implemen he saurable inducor large size core is required. The hird echnique repored o increase he ZVS for wider load range is by incorporaing a commuaing inducor and a clamp diode for he bridge swiches [6]. However in his opology here is requiremen of snubber o overcome he prevailing commuaion loss. The fourh echnique o increase he ZVS range in FB-PSPWM DC-DC converer is o use a wo winding commuaing inducor clamped o he oupu and overcome he problem in he echnique menioned in [6] by enabling recovery of he excess of energy direcly o he load [7]. Neverheless, his soluion implies a larger, heavier and more complicaed converer wih inheren cos increase. Anoher mehod for wider ZVS range is use of auxiliary LCC circui wih convenional FB-PSPWM DC-DC converer [8, 9, 1]. The auxiliary circui consiss of a volage divider and an inducor conneced beween he middle poin of volage capacior divider and he middle poin of he lef leg of convenional FB-PSPWM converer. I is observed ha he righ leg swiches leaves ZVS a ligher load compare o he lef leg swiches. I is desired o ge ZVS for boh he legs o minimize he urn-on losses including he no load condiion. I is indicaed ha he ZVS for he boh legs of FB-PSPWM DC- DC converer, can be achieved if one more inducor is used in addiion o LCC circuiry described in [8,9]. This auxiliary circui is an add-on o he convenional FB-PSPWM converer, which does no aler he power circui. This paper repors he design of high power (5 kw), high volage (45 V) FB-PSPWM converer based on LLCC auxiliary circuiry o exend he ZVS for enire load range for all he swiches of full bridge wihou increase in he duy cycle loss. This opology is desired in applicaions where he oupu volage is required o be adjusable and he load power is variable over a wide range. Mos of he published work on IJERTV3IS

The FB-PSPWM converer repored here is raed for high volage and high power oupu ( 45 V, 5 kw) wih widely variable oupu volage ( 1 o 1%). Descripion of power circui of he FB-PSPWM converer wih auxiliary circui is presened in Secion II. Modes of operaion of he converer are described in Secion III. Specific design consideraions are covered in secion IV. Simulaion and experimenal resuls are presened in secion V, followed by conclusions in secion VI. II. FB-PSPWM CONVERTER WITH AUXILIARY CIRCUIT Power circui diagram of he FB-PSPWM converer wih LLCC auxiliary circui is shown in Fig.1. Main FB-PSPWM converer is consiued by four MOSFET M 1 -M 4 swiches, four ani parallel diodes D 1 -D 4, and four snubber capaciors C 1 -C 4. The ani-parallel diodes D 1 -D 4 across he M 1 -M 4 are he inrinsic diodes of he respecive swiches. Capacior C 1 -C 4 across he MOSFET M 1 -M 4 are he inernal oupu parasiic capaciances. The average capaciance value for each of he C 1 -C 4 is C and given as [1, 3] C = 4 Coss (1) 3 where C OSS is a depleion-dependan capaciy whose value depends upon he impressed drain -source volage across he respecive MOSFET. Transformer TR has primary o secondary urn raio of n:1. Toal leakage inducance of he ransformer referred o primary is L lk. The volage across he primary winding of ransformer is V AB and he volage across he secondary winding is V S. D r1 - D r4 are he diodes on he secondary side forming full bridge recifier circui. Inducor L f and capacior C f form he oupu filer. In convenional FB-PSPWM converer he energy sored in he leakage inducor is used o charge/discharge he snubber capaciors, and he load range under which ZVS of he swiches is mainained srongly depends on he value of he leakage inducance. Due o leakage inducance, here is duy cycle loss D and i is given as [3] D 4nL lk Io (2) V d Ts where T s is swiching period of converer, V d is he inpu DC volage, I o is oupu dc ( average) load curren. The auxiliary LLCC circuiry ha provides ZVS over he enire load range consiss of wo inducor L 1 & L 2 and wo capaciors C d1 & C d2. The wo capaciors wih equal capaciances are conneced in series, across he DC power rail V d and his forms a volage divider circui. Ou of he wo auxiliary inducors, one inducor L 1 is conneced beween middle poin A of lef leg and he middle poin M of capacior divider. The second inducor L 2 is conneced beween middle poin B of righ leg and he middle poin M of he capacior divider. RCD clamp circui is used o reduce ringing and volage overshoo across he diode recifier, arising because of resonance beween he sray capaciance (due o winding & diode) and he leakage inducance of he ransformer [1]. III. MODES OF OPERATION Key waveforms of he FB-PSPWM converer wih LLCC auxiliary circui are shown in Fig.2. In hese waveforms he volages V g1 -V g4 are he gae volage signals for swiches M 1 - M 4 respecively and have approximaely 5% duy cycle. These signals are generaed using sandard Phase shif conroller UCC3895 [11]. The swiches of lef leg (M 1 & M 2 ) and righ leg (M 3 & M 4 ) urn-on and off alernaively wih a small dead ime beween he gae pulses of each leg o allow he capacior o discharge before he swiches are made on. The phase shif beween he wo legs deermine he operaing duy cycle of converer. The operaion of converer presened in Fig.1 is explained for posiive cycle of primary curren wih five modes. Mode I or power delivery mode, Mode II or powering o freewheeling ransiion mode, Mode III or freewheeling inerval, Mode IV or freewheeling o powering ransiion inerval and Mode V or linear ransiion mode. Mode I: Power delivery mode ( < 1 ): During his mode boh M 1 and M 4 are in conducion and D r1 & D r4 are recifying. The ransformer primary volage is V d and he primary curren increases wih he slope proporional o he oal inducance presen in he circui. In his inerval power is delivered o load, hence known as power delivery inerval. Primary curren during his inerval is given by i p = V d nv Leq + I p (3) where I p () is he iniial value of he primary curren and L eq = L lk + n 2 L f The mode inerval ends when he primary curren reaches o is peak value I 1. i p 1 = I 1 (4) During his mode he erminal A of auxiliary inducor L 1 is conneced o V d and volage across L 1 is -V d /2 and curren hrough L 1 decreases unil he MOSFET M 1 urns off. Similarly B erminal of inducor L 2 is conneced o ground, hence he volage across L 2 is V d /2 and curren increases and reaches o is peak value I L2 a he end of his inerval i.e. when M 4 urns-off. The auxiliary circui acs as independen circui wihou influencing he primary curren. Currens hrough auxiliary inducor L 1 & L 2 are given as: i L1 = V d 2L + I L1 (5) 1 V d i L2 = 2L + I L2 (6) 2 where I L1 (), I L2 () are he iniial value of he currens of auxiliary inducor L 1 & L 2 respecively. Curren hrough he inducor L 2 a he end of his mode is V d T S i L2 1 = 4L 2 2 RL = I L2 (7) Or I L2 V d. T S ; 8L RL T S (8) 2 2 RL is known as righ leg ransiion inerval or powering o freewheeling ransiion inerval. The drain curren of M 1 is sum of he primary curren and auxiliary inducor curren I L1. Similarly he drain curren of M 4 is he sum of he primary curren and auxiliary curren I L2. IJERTV3IS

4 Inernaional Journal of Engineering Research & Technology (IJERT) ISSN: Vol. 3 Issue 5, May Mode II: Powering o freewheeling ransiion mode ( 1 < 2 ): This mode sars when MOSFET M 4 urns off a ime 1. As M 4 urns off, drain curren of M 4 is ransferred o C 3 & C 4. Since M 1 is conducing and M 4 is off, ransformer coninues o see he posiive volage V d during his inerval. Hence D r1 & D r4 are sill conducing as in mode I. The duraion of his mode is small, so he primary curren and he auxiliary inducor curren I L2 is almos consan. Hence he charging of C 4 and discharging of C 3 akes place linearly. The ime required o complee charge/discharge is given as RL V d. ( C 3 + C 4 ) or I 1 + I RL 2. V d. C (9) L2 I 1 + I L2 Since M 1 is sill on, he curren in L 1 is given by eq.(5). This mode ends when he capacior C 3 volage reaches o zero and diode D 3 sar conducing a = 2 wih ZVS. Mode III: Freewheeling mode ( 2 < 3 ): This mode sars wih zero volage across capacior C 3 and diode D 3 iniiaes is conducion. Primary curren freewheels hrough he MOSFET M 1 & diode D 3. The volage across he primary of ransformer V AB is zero. The recifier diodes D r1 & D r4 are sill in conducion sae. The circui eners he passive mode i.e. no power is ransferred from inpu o oupu. This mode ends when gae pulse of M 1 is removed. Primary curren during his mode is given by i p = nv Leq 2 + I p 1 (1) where I p (1) is he iniial value of he primary curren. As he M 1 is on, curren in L 1 is sill given by he equaion (5). I reaches o is peak value I L1 a he end of he inerval and given by. Or i L1 3 = V d 4L 1 T S 2 LL = I L1 (11) I L1 V d. T S ; for 8L LL T S (12) 1 2 where LL is known as lef leg ransiion inerval or freewheeling o powering ransiion inerval The curren in L 2 sar decreasing from is peak value and given as i L2 = V d 2L I L2 (13) Mode IV: Freewheeling o powering ransiion mode ( 3 < 4 ): This mode sars a ime 3 when he gae signal of M 1 is removed. A his sage D 3 is sill conducing and primary curren is same as i was in mode III, and flows hrough C 1 & C 2. During his mode, conrary o wha happened in mode II, all four diodes of recifier are on. Therefore energy sored in he filer inducor does no conribue o charge/ discharge of C 1 /C 2. Because of his reason i is very difficul o obain ZVS in he convenional converers for ligh load. However in he converer design presened here, addiional energy is sored in inducor L 1 in mode I o III, ha helps o achieve ZVS. Thus he oal energy (W L ) available o charge/discharge he capacior C 1 /C 2 is he energy sored in leakage inducor of ransformer and energy sored in he auxiliary inducor L 1. W L = (I 4) 2 2 ( L lk ) + (I L1) 2 ( L 2 1 ) (14) where I 4 is he primary curren a = 4 and I L1 is he peak curren of he auxiliary inducor L 1. This mode ends when he capacior C 1 volage reaches o V d and capacior C 2 volage reaches o zero and diode D 2 sars conducing a ime 4. Curren in inducor L 2 during his mode is sill given by eq. (13). Mode V: Linear mode ( 4 < 5 ): A ime 4 diode D 2 iniiae is conducion. In his mode primary curren changes is polariy. Till he primary curren reaches o zero, diode D 2 & D 3 conduc, hereafer M 2 & M 3 sar conducing. Primary curren in his inerval is given as i p = V d Leq 4 + I p 2 (15) where I p (2) is he iniial value of he primary curren. In his mode erminal A of auxiliary indicor L 1 is conneced o ground as M 2 is on. The volage across he L 1 is V d /2. The curren in L 1 sars increasing and given by i L1 = V d 2L 4 + I L1 1 (16) 1 where I L1 (1) is he iniial value of he primary curren. The ime inerval of his mode represens he duy cycle loss. In order o reduce he duy cycle loss he slope of primary curren should be high i.e. leakage inducance should be minimum. In convenional PSPWM converer, leakage inducance needs o be kep large o sore sufficien energy o achieve ZVS of swiches for wider range while in he proposed converer, he value of leakage inducance is small and limied by consrucion of ransformer which leads o lower duy cycle loss. Furher for he negaive half cycle of primary curren hese five modes of operaions are similarly repeaed and he full cycle is compleed. IV. DESIGN CONSIDERATIONS Zero volage swiching for he lef leg swiches (M 1 & M 2 ) always akes place when he oupu curren source is freewheeling hrough he oupu diodes. Thus he available energy, o perform he discharge and charge of capacior C 1 /C 2 wihin lef leg inerval LL, is sored in auxiliary inducor L 1 and he leakage inducor. Thus he condiion for achieving ZVS for his leg is, sored energy in inducors should be greaer han he energy sored in he capaciors C 1 and C 2. Energy sored in Capaciors C 1 and C 2 is W CR = 1 2 ( C 1 + C 2 ). (V d ) 2 = C. (V d ) 2 (17) Energy sored in inducors L lk and L 1 is W L = (I /n) 2. L 2 lk + (I L1) 2. L 2 1 (18) In he expression of sored energy in inducors, he firs erm represens sored energy in he leakage inducor due o load curren and he second erm represen energy sored in auxiliary inducor L 1 due o curren I L1 in i. Hence o achieve ZVS IJERTV3IS

This also resuls in minimum volage overshoo and ringing on he secondary side. To achieve ZVS for he lef leg swiches independen of load, energy sored in inducor L 1 mus be higher han he energy sored in capacior C 1 & C 2 hence condiion for achieving ZVS independen of he load can be obained by puing I = in eq.

Condiion for achieving ZVS for he righ leg swiches is I 1 + I L2 (C 3 + C 4 )V d (23) RL Hence o ensure he ZVS for righ leg swiches independen of load, value of I L2 is given as I L2 (C 3 + C 4 ) V d ; or I L2 2CV d (24) RL RL The value of L 2 for achieving ZVS for righ leg swiches independen of load can be obained by using eq.
