Abstract

The LLC resonant converter can easily achieve soft-switching and magnetic components integration that makes it an excellent candidate for DC Bus Converter. In low voltage high output current applications, the design of synchronous rectifier (SR) and transformer is the key issue. A SR driving scheme with less circuit complexity is adopted for switching frequency at the resonant frequency in this paper. Using Magnetic Motive Force (MMF) diagrams both in space and time, the loss model of the center-tapped planar transformer is proposed that provides insight into the mechanism of the skin and proximity losses and that also yields quantitative results. The Finite-Element analysis (FEA) is applied to demonstrate the loss model. A prototype of 1/4 brick, 48V to 12V, 500W output Bus Converter is built to verify the result. 96.6% efficiency at full load and 300W/in3 power density are achieved.
