Abstract
In a dual-bridge series resonant converter (DBSRC) working at a high switching frequency, the dead-time effect is a serious issue. When the minimum current trajectory (MCT) method is applied, the inductor current cannot be minimized due to the dead-time effect, and the range of the soft switching is reduced. Considering the dead-time, this paper first presents a theoretical analysis of the transmission power and the soft-switching characteristics based on the fundamental harmonic approximation (FHA) approach. Then, a minimum current trajectory method considering the dead-time (MCT-d) is proposed to achieve the minimum inductor current by compensating for the dead-time. This method can extend the soft-switching range as well. Finally, the experimental results validate the theoretical analysis and the improvement of the converter’s efficiency.
