Abstract

This paper presents the design of a phase-shifted full-bridge series resonant converter (PS-FB SRC). The proposed FB SRC features a novel two-mode operation. It is operated in series resonant mode at normal loads. The switching frequency is varied to regulate the output voltage. The fixed-frequency phase-shifted pulse width modulation, on the other hand, is used to adjust the effective duty cycle and regulate the output voltage at light loads. The proposed converter exhibits high conversion efficiency for wide-range load conditions. The relationships among the voltage gain, the switching frequency, and the effective duty cycle are discussed and analyzed. Finally, a 48-V/42-A prototype is implemented. Experiments are conducted to verify the theoretical analysis.
