1 456 IEEE TRANSACTIONS ON INDUSTRIAL ELECTRONICS, VOL. 49, NO. 2, APRIL 2002 A New Soft Recovery PWM Quasi-Resonant Converter With a Folding Snubber Network Jin-Kuk Chung, Student Member, IEEE, and Gyu-Hyeong Cho, Member, IEEE Abstract A new soft recovery (SR) quasi-resonant converter (QRC) having a multiple-order folding snubber network(mfsn) is introduced. It is obtained by combining a normal QRC with a folding snubber network of which the surrounding components are composed of passive devices only (diodes and capacitors). The reverse recovery loss of the main rectifier diode is eliminated by this method utilizing multiple resonance with a multiple-order folding snubber network. By realizing soft switching conditions, the proposed converter has pulsewidth modulation capability with high efficiency and is suitable for high-voltage and high-power dc to dc converter applications. Index Terms Folding snubber network, quasi-resonant converter, soft switching. I. INTRODUCTION IN DC-TO-DC switching converters, the active switch and power diode operate alternately. In other words, when the switch is ON, the diode is OFF and vice versa. The problem happens at the switching transient. Under hard switching conditions, a large recovery loss of the diode reduces the maximum safety operating region as well as efficiency. As the voltage and current ratings increase, the problem becomes more serious and system reliability cannot be guaranteed in most cases. To solve such a problem, an additional inductor is usually inserted in series with the loop formed by the switch and the diode, resulting in a soft switching converter [1]. Such soft switching converters can be classified into two groups. One is an active snubber type and the other is a passive snubber type. Switching converters of the passive snubber type are simpler and easier to realize than those of the active snubber type. In such a passive snubber type converter, the key ideas are, however, focused on how to suppress voltage stress and parasitic oscillation caused by the additional inductor and parasitic capacitance. All of the passive snubbers presented so far are not free from such an oscillation [2]. As a result, the active snubber appeared despite its additional control complexity [3]. In this paper, we suggest a new solution by proposing a new quasi-resonant converter (QRC) having an energy recovery network (ERN) and a multiple-order folding snubber network (MFSN).

Basic Folding Snubber Circuit Fig. 1(a) compares the normal series resonant circuit with a basic folding resonant circuit. If we assume the initial inductor current is maximum ( ) and initial voltage is zero with, the standard waveforms of current and induced voltage across the resonant inductor during one period are shown in Fig. 1(b), respectively. As is well known, the waveforms of current and voltage in normal LC resonant circuits are sinusoidial waves, shown by dashed lines in Fig. 1(b). However, the voltage in the resonant circuit including the folding network jumps up to at the time when the inductor current changes its polarity. There are two characteristic impedances and angular resonant frequencies in one resonant period. However, the key operation in the folding resonant circuit is that the maximum negative voltage across the resonant inductor drops to half when the direction of the resonant current changes. As the negative resonant voltage at the inductor is folded to half, the network of three diodes and two capacitors is named the folding snubber network. We apply this characteristic to the soft switching operation in this proposed converter. B. New Multiple-Order Folding Snubber Network and Others Fig. 2 shows a proposed boost type soft recovery pulsewidth modulation quasi resonance converter (SR PWM QRC) that includes a multiple-order folding snubber network (MFSN) together with the energy recovery network (ERN) and zero /02$ IEEE

2 CHUNG AND CHO: A NEW SOFT RECOVERY PWM QUASI-RESONANT CONVERTER 457 Fig. 2. Proposed SR PWM boost QR converter. voltage-switching (ZVS) snubber. The ERN is composed of,, and and the ZVS snubber is composed of and. The MFSN is composed of,,,,, and a higher order FSN across. The function of and is to provide a zero-voltage turn-off condition to the switch. The ERN is inserted between the ZVS snubber for MOSFET. The resonant current in the auxiliary inductor charges through and during the ON interval of and restores energy to and returns to load through during the OFF-interval. As shown in Fig. 2, the MFSN is composed of the cascade strings of the basic folding snubber network. The MFSN provides several merits versus the proposed converter. First, similar to the conventional passive converter noted in [2], it also provides soft recovery condition to the main rectifier diode. Second, FSN divides the voltage across the main diode in half and suppresses the parasitic oscillation during the turn-off interval of. The stable operation without parasitic oscillation consequently enhances the reliability of the circuit and increases the available output power. The center diode ( ) in MFSN plays a very important role to divide the voltage induced through the inductor ( ) into the voltages of the two capacitors ( ). At the instant of division, the direction of the voltage across the diode ( ) is changed from forward to reverse as described above. This divided voltage suppresses parasitic oscillation, which can be observed in the conventional passive snubber type converter. Since this center diode ( ) of the first-order FSN is, however, also not free from the reverse recovery problem during the procedure of dividing the voltage across the main diode ( ), it can create other problems as well. This reverse recovery current of the diode ( ) FSN can be removed by connecting an additional second-order FSN across the center diode ( ) of the first order of the FSN. The third-order FSN is similarly needed across the center diode ( ) of the second-order FSN and so on. As the number of orders of the folding snubber network increases, the magnitude of the resonance waveform, however, decays rapidly at a higher order FSN and the reverse recovery loss of the center diode of the FSN becomes negligible at the end. The MFSN induces the multiple numbers of half resonance across the diode, whose detail configuration is shown in Fig. 5(b). The numbers of half resonance correspond to the number of orders of FSN.

Analysis of Operation To simplify the analysis, we assumed several factors during one period of switching operation. The current of the input inductor is considered to be constant in one cycle operation and the diode is assumed to be ideal. The stray capacitance and switching time of the device are assumed to be zero. Then, one period of the switching operation can be divided into five modes described as follows. The mode diagrams corresponding to each time duration and the theoretical key waveforms (the current of resonant inductor, the voltage across the main diode circuit, and current of main diode ) are shown in Figs. 3 and 4, respectively. 1) Turn-on Modes: a) Mode 1: Linearly increased stage of the inductor current ( ) in the interval to. Fig. 3(a). When the switch is closed at, the inductor current ramps up linearly to. The equations of diode and auxiliary inductor currents in this stage are respectively given by (e) (1) (2)

As the current in the resonant inductor increases linearly, the switch is turned on at the zero current state at. As the current of the main diode decreases linearly to zero at, the main diode turns off softly at. b) Mode 2: Resonant stage of the voltage across the capacitors in MFSN in the interval to. In this interval, the current of inductor in the loop of the,, and MFSN induces resonances of a half cycle that have different angular resonant frequencies and characteristics in each duration ( ). The first half cycle of resonance is induced by the first-order FSN. The second half cycle of resonance is induced by the second-order FSN. In other words, the numbers of half cycle resonance correspond to the numbers of order of the FSN. The time duration of resonance of the first, second- and third-order FSN converter corresponds to the duration of to, to, and to of Fig. 4, respectively. Fig. 5 shows the detailed resonance waveforms of corresponding to the order of the FSN converter. In the interval to of the converter of the first-order FSN, whose equivalent circuit is shown in Fig. 5(b), the inductor current forms resonance current through the paths of Fig. 6(a). The overcharged voltage across approaches to 2 and the resonance current approaches. However, as soon as the resonant current becomes equal to at, the resonance stops due to the strong driving input current that is almost constant during one period. As the resonance stops at, the voltage across becomes zero and the voltage across the main diode jumps up to from 2 at.ifthe capacitance values are set to for convenience, the resonance current and the voltage across the main diode are given by (3) (4) (b) Fig. 5.

Fig. 6 shows detailed resonance current paths and Fig. 5 shows the waveforms of resonant voltage for each order. The directions of the arrow in Fig. 6 are the direction of the resonant currents during each time interval at the multiple-order FSN converter. As the number of order of the FSN increases, the resonance amplitude and period of FSN decrease rapidly as shown in Fig. 5(b). The characteristic impedance and angular resonance frequency of (3) and (4) in each time duration are given by where (5)

When the resonance current equals at, the resonance stops and the induced voltage across the becomes zero. Therefore, the voltage of node A becomes zero and the voltage across the main diode changes abruptly from 2 to. The current directly flows through the switch to the ground and the energy stored in supplies the output load. 2) Turn-off Modes: d) Mode 4: Discharging of the folding snubber capacitor in the interval to. Fig. 3(d), where is ( ). When the main switch is turned off at, of charges whose voltage increases to the output voltage from zero and decays resonantly to zero in the interval to. becomes a snubber of the switch in this duration. On the other hand, the constant current discharges both of the capacitors and in parallel. After the capacitors and are discharged to zero, the diode turns on at. The equations of and in this stage are where e) Mode 5: Feeding directly to the load in the interval to. (6) (7) Fig. 3(e). When the voltage across the folding snubber capacitor becomes zero at, forward voltage is applied to the main diode to turn it on. The inductor current flows to the load through the main diode, completing one cycle of operation. III. EXPERIMENTAL RESULTS A. Experimental Results Applied to UPS System The proposed circuit is applied to an auxiliary power source of an uninterrupted power supply (UPS) system having 2-kW output power. Fig. 7 shows the experimental waveforms of the circuit of Fig. 2 with 100-kHz switching frequency. The main parameters to be designed are only the values of the capacitors of the FSN and, which are determined by the minimum load current, maximum duty factor, and switching frequency. The experimental waveforms of the first-order FSN shown in Fig. 7(a) agree well with the theoretical waveforms of Fig. 4. While the voltage across the main diode is observed to be approximately constant in the time interval to, as shown by the encircled line in Fig. 7(a), an additional resonance waveform having five different values of characteristic impedance shown in (5) can be observed in the dotted area of the third-order FSN in Fig. 7(b). As discussed in the previous section, the magnitude of the resonance waveform decays rapidly for higher order FSN. The experimental waveforms shown in Fig. 7(b) agree well with the theoretical ones of Fig. 5(b). B. Efficiency Measurement The efficiencies of power for both the normal snubberless boost converter, ZVT PWM converter [3], and the proposed converter of the multiple-order FSN have been measured. The comparison results are shown in Figs. 8 and 9, where,, and are the efficiency, output power, and input voltage, respectively. The difference of efficiency among the multiple-order FSN converter is negligible. But, as the reverse recovery current

(b) Waveforms of the third-order FSN. Fig. 8. Comparison of efficiency versus output power P for normal, ZVT PWM [3], and proposed converters. of the center diode of the last-order folding snubber network limited the available maximum output power for each order of FNS of the proposed converter. Therefore, available maximum output power of the proposed converter for each multiple orders become different. Experimental results show that the safety operation region of the proposed converter is about 700 W for the first-order FSN, 1500 W for the second-order FSN and 3 kw for the third-order FSN, respectively. As the output power increases up to 250 W in Fig. 8, the reverse recovery current in the main diode caused the destruction of the MOSFET switch in the conventional converter. On the other hand, in the proposed FSN converters, the level of efficiency is below 0.4%, lower than that of the ZVT PWN converter [3]. However, it is not hard to obtain a good efficiency up to several kilowatts with negligible power losses of the center diodes of the FSN. Fig. 9 shows the comparison of efficiency for the above three converters under fixed output power and voltage, exhibiting an outcome similar to that of Fig. 8. Fig. 9. Comparison of efficiency versus input voltage V for normal, ZVT PWM, and proposed converters in fixed output power and voltage. C. Parasitic Oscillations An experimental, side-by-side comparison of a converter with a conventional snubber [3] and a converter with the proposed new snubber, the first-order FSN, was undertaken. Both converters are of similar configuration and function and the intent was to view and compare key waveforms as shown in Fig. 10. As can be seen, parasitic oscillation is observed in the time interval to, in the converter with the conventional snubber, Fig. 10(a), while in the same interval to, of Fig. 10(b), the converter with the new, first-order FSN, is free from parasitic oscillations. The oscillations in Fig. 10(a) are the result of a series resonance loop of biased junction capacitor of auxiliary diode and resonant inductor, during turn-on period -. As observed, in Fig. 10(b), the parasitic oscillation has been effectively damped by the first-order FSN, demonstrating the effectiveness of this snubber concept.

(b) Waveforms of proposed the first-order FSN converter. IV. CONVENIENT AND ECONOMIC FOLDING SNUBBER NETWORK As the order of FSNs connected in series increases, the apparent complexity of this topology may dissuade the circuit designer from implementing this design concept. However, with the first and higher order FSNs, voltage and stresses are also reduced, thereby drastically reducing size (and cost) of their components. The complexity of the active snubber is also avoided. For instance, with implementation of the second and thirdorder FSNs, PWM MOSFET converters, with power output of the several kilowatts, are practical. As the output power is increased, the number of orders of the FSN is required to increase also. As the maximum output power achieved with available MOSFET devices in the semiconductor market is about 3 kw, the proposed converter of the third-order FSN actually becomes the maximum order to realize. With higher order FSNs, component and sizes are drastically reduced and modular configurations should be considered. V. CONCLUSION With the introduction of the new multiple-order FSN, combined with the energy recovery network (ERC), a boost converter with a new, multi-stage passive snubber is proposed. With this new snubber configuration, fully soft switching conditions are obtained. The MFSN and ERN reduce ringing voltages across capacitors and suppress the parasitic oscillations that occur in conventional converters using conventional snubbers. Experimental results are shown to prove the theoretical concepts. Enhanced reliability, coupled with switching operations that are free from parasitic oscillation, enables power output to increase up to several kilowatts. Additionally, this ring-free switching provides the opportunity to reduce the size (and cost) of EMI filters. This new snubber and concept is applicable to practical power supply systems, providing low cost and high efficiency. REFERENCES [1] K. H. Liu and F. C. Y.
