Abstract
In EV charger applications, high voltage level and high computational burden caused by multiple charging modes bring serious challenges to the synchronous rectification (SR) of LLC resonant converter. Conventional SR schemes can be classified as current sensing-based, voltage sensing-based and sensorless, which are limited by high cost of current sensing, difficulty of high voltage sensing, narrow operating range or high computational burden, respectively. To deal with these problems, this paper proposes a novel SR scheme for LLC resonant converter in EV charger applications. In this scheme, SR control signals are tuned only by main control signal, output voltage and output current, which are naturally available from main controller in EV charger. To this end, no additional signal sensing is required and the cost for SR is reduced. Moreover, the SR tuning principle is on the basis of Kirchhoff's law and phase relationship between main control signal and secondary-side current, which no longer needs to calculate complicated models. Meanwhile, the foresaid tuning process of SR control signals can be implemented by analog circuits. With these effects, this scheme can tune SR control signals effectively over a wide operating range with low computational burden. Furthermore, a virtual current injection strategy is designed to suppress the inversion current of synchronous rectifier. It can guarantee no inversion current and low body diode conduction (BDC) loss.
