Abstract
LLC resonant converter is a soft switching frequency modulated dc–dc topology with its switching frequency near the resonant frequency. However, in applications where a wide output voltage is desired, it is extremely difficult to tune its operation close to the resonant frequency. In this paper, a novel pulsewidth modulated LLC type resonant converter based on voltage quadrupler rectifier is proposed. The proposed converter always operates at the resonant frequency and is able to achieve a wide output voltage range by modulating the duty cycle of the secondary side auxiliary mosfet . This brings the benefits of the decreased circulating current and corresponding conduction loss, as well as the simplification of the parameters selection and magnetic component design. Zero-voltage-switching and zero-current-switching are realized among all power mosfet s and all power diodes, respectively. Detailed circuit operation principles and modeling method are presented. A 1.3-kW converter prototype, generating 250–420 V output from 390-V dc-link is designed. Both the circuit functionality and the theoretical analysis are verified in the experimental results.
