Abstract
In this paper, we introduce a step-down resonant dc-dc converter architecture based on the newly-proposed concept of an Impedance Control Network (ICN). The ICN architecture is designed to provide zero-voltage and near-zero-current switching of the power devices, and the proposed approach further uses inverter stacking techniques to reduce the voltages of individual devices. The proposed architecture is suitable for large-step-down, wide-input-range applications such as dc-dc converters for dc distribution in data centers. We demonstrate a first-generation prototype ICN resonant dc-dc converter that can deliver 330 W from a wide input voltage range of 260 V–410 V to an output voltage of 12 V.
