PART II: Topologies and applications Chapter 6: Converter Circuits Applications
Chapter 6: Converter Circuits What is a topology? Why different topologies? The choice of a topology depends on the application:. voltage/current range/direction, 2. power direction, 3. number of inputs/outputs, 4. isolated vs. non-isolated, 5. input and output current ripple, 6. switches/transformer/inductor utilization, 7. soft switching vs. hard switching, 8. compactness (see Google interest https://research.googleblog.com/206/02/and-winner-of-- million-little-box.html), 9. EMC considerations... Today s optimum topologies are not tomorrow s better topologies because of semiconductors evolution (storageless example). Topology selection is a first important decision when designing a power converter.

6.2. A short list of converters An infinite number of converters are possible, which contain switches embedded in a network of inductors and capacitors Two simple classes of converters are listed here: Single-input single-output converters containing a single inductor. The switching period is divided into two subintervals. This class contains eight converters. Single-input single-output converters containing two inductors. The switching period is divided into two subintervals. Several of the more interesting members of this class are listed. 24
Single-input single-output converters containing one inductor Use switches to connect inductor between source and load, in one manner during first subinterval and in another during second subinterval There are a limited number of ways to do this, so all possible combinations can be found After elimination of degenerate and redundant cases, eight converters are found: dc-dc converters buck boost buck-boost noninverting buck-boost dc-ac converters bridge Watkins-Johnson ac-dc converters current-fed bridge inverse of Watkins-Johnson 25

The magnetizing inductance L M Models magnetization of transformer core material Appears effectively in parallel with windings If all secondary windings are disconnected, then primary winding behaves as an inductor, equal to the magnetizing inductance At dc: magnetizing inductance tends to short-circuit. Transformers cannot pass dc voltages Transformer saturates when magnetizing current i M is too large Transformer core B-H characteristic B(t) v (t) dt saturation slope L M H(t) i M (t) 34
Volt-second balance in L M The magnetizing inductance is a real inductor, obeying di v (t)=l M (t) M dt integrate: v (t) i M (t)i M (0) = t v L (τ)dτ M 0 Magnetizing current is determined by integral of the applied winding voltage. The magnetizing current and the winding currents are independent quantities. Volt-second balance applies: in steady-state, i M (T s ) = i M (0), and hence 0= T T s v (t)dt s 0 i (t) i M (t) L M i '(t) n : n 2 : n 3 Ideal transformer i 2 (t) v 2 (t) i 3 (t) v 3 (t) 35
Transformer reset Transformer reset is the mechanism by which magnetizing inductance volt-second balance is obtained The need to reset the transformer volt-seconds to zero by the end of each switching period adds considerable complexity to converters To understand operation of transformer-isolated converters: replace transformer by equivalent circuit model containing magnetizing inductance analyze converter as usual, treating magnetizing inductance as any other inductor apply volt-second balance to all converter inductors, including magnetizing inductance 36

Effect of nonidealities on transformer volt-second balance Volt-seconds applied to primary winding during first switching period: ( (Q and Q 4 forward voltage drops))( Q and Q 4 conduction time) Volt-seconds applied to primary winding during next switching period: ( (Q 2 and Q 3 forward voltage drops))( Q 2 and Q 3 conduction time) These volt-seconds never add to exactly zero.

6.4. Converter evaluation and design For a given application, which converter topology is best? There is no ultimate converter, perfectly suited for all possible applications Trade studies Rough designs of several converter topologies to meet the given specifications An unbiased quantitative comparison of worst-case transistor currents and voltages, transformer size, etc. Comparison via switch stress, switch utilization, and semiconductor cost Spreadsheet design 77
6.4.. Switch stress and switch utilization Largest single cost in a converter is usually the cost of the active semiconductor devices Conduction and switching losses associated with the active semiconductor devices often dominate the other sources of loss This suggests evaluating candidate converter approaches by comparing the voltage and current stresses imposed on the active semiconductor devices. Minimization of total switch stresses leads to reduced loss, and to minimization of the total silicon area required to realize the power devices of the converter. 78
Total active switch stress S In a converter having k active semiconductor devices, the total active switch stress S is defined as S = k Σ j = V j I j where V j is the peak voltage applied to switch j, I j is the rms current applied to switch j (peak current is also sometimes used). In a good design, the total active switch stress is minimized. 79
Active switch utilization U It is desired to minimize the total active switch stress, while maximizing the output power P load. The active switch utilization U is defined as U = P load S The active switch utilization is the converter output power obtained per unit of active switch stress. It is a converter figure-of-merit, which measures how well a converter utilizes its semiconductor devices. Active switch utilization is less than in transformer-isolated converters, and is a quantity to be maximized. Converters having low switch utilizations require extra active silicon area, and operate with relatively low efficiency. Active switch utilization is a function of converter operating point. 80
Comparison of switch utilizations of some common converters Table 6.. Active switch utilizations of some common dc-dc converters, single operating point. Converter U(D) max U(D) max U(D) occurs at D = Buck Boost Buck-boost, flyback, nonisolated SEPIC, isolated SEPIC, nonisolated Cuk, isolated Cuk Forward, n = n 2 Other isolated buck-derived converters (fullbridge, half-bridge, push-pull) Isolated boost-derived converters (full bridge, push-pull) D D' 0 D D' D 2 D D 2 2 D' 2 D 2 3 3 = 0.385 3 2 2 = 0.353 2 2 2 = 0.353 2 0 84
Switch utilization : Discussion Increasing the range of operating points leads to reduced switch utilization Buck converter can operate with high switch utilization (U approaching ) when D is close to Boost converter can operate with high switch utilization (U approaching ) when D is close to Transformer isolation leads to reduced switch utilization Buck-derived transformer-isolated converters U 0.353 should be designed to operate with D as large as other considerations allow transformer turns ratio can be chosen to optimize design 85
Switch utilization: Discussion Nonisolated and isolated versions of buck-boost, SEPIC, and Cuk converters U 0.385 Single-operating-point optimum occurs at D = /3 Nonisolated converters have lower switch utilizations than buck or boost Isolation can be obtained without penalizing switch utilization 86
Active semiconductor cost vs. switch utilization semiconductor cost per kw output power = semiconductor device cost per rated kva voltage derating factor current derating factor converter switch utilization (semiconductor device cost per rated kva) = cost of device, divided by product of rated blocking voltage and rms current, in $/kva. Typical values are less than $/kva (voltage derating factor) and (current derating factor) are required to obtain reliable operation. Typical derating factors are 0.5-0.75 Typical cost of active semiconductor devices in an isolated dc-dc converter: $ - $0 per kw of output power. 87
Summary of key points. The boost converter can be viewed as an inverse buck converter, while the buck-boost and Cuk converters arise from cascade connections of buck and boost converters. The properties of these converters are consistent with their origins. Ac outputs can be obtained by differential connection of the load. An infinite number of converters are possible, and several are listed in this chapter. 2. For understanding the operation of most converters containing transformers, the transformer can be modeled as a magnetizing inductance in parallel with an ideal transformer. The magnetizing inductance must obey all of the usual rules for inductors, including the principle of volt-second balance. 99
Summary of key points 3. The steady-state behavior of transformer-isolated converters may be understood by first replacing the transformer with the magnetizing-inductance-plus-ideal-transformer equivalent circuit. The techniques developed in the previous chapters can then be applied, including use of inductor volt-second balance and capacitor charge balance to find dc currents and voltages, use of equivalent circuits to model losses and efficiency, and analysis of the discontinuous conduction mode. 4. In the full-bridge, half-bridge, and push-pull isolated versions of the buck and/or boost converters, the transformer frequency is twice the output ripple frequency. The transformer is reset while it transfers energy: the applied voltage polarity alternates on successive switching periods. 00
Summary of key points 5. In the conventional forward converter, the transformer is reset while the transistor is off. The transformer magnetizing inductance operates in the discontinuous conduction mode, and the maximum duty cycle is limited. 6. The flyback converter is based on the buck-boost converter. The flyback transformer is actually a two-winding inductor, which stores and transfers energy. 7. The transformer turns ratio is an extra degree-of-freedom which the designer can choose to optimize the converter design. Use of a computer spreadsheet is an effective way to determine how the choice of turns ratio affects the component voltage and current stresses. 8. Total active switch stress, and active switch utilization, are two simplified figures-of-merit which can be used to compare the various converter circuits. 0
