Phase shift full bridge converter with reduced current stress
View Patent ↗A phase shift full bridge converter with a reduced current stress includes: a switching unit that switches an input voltage; a transformer that includes a first capacitor serially connected to, and having a primary side and a secondary side; an auxiliary circuit unit that includes a first switch, a second switch, and a second capacitor, which are connected in parallel to the secondary side of the transformer; and a rectification unit that is connected to the auxiliary circuit unit, with an output inductor being removed.
1. A phase shift full bridge converter with a reduced current stress, comprising:
a switching unit that switches an input voltage;
a transformer that includes a first capacitor serially connected thereto, and has a primary side and a secondary side;
an auxiliary circuit unit that includes a first switch, a second switch, and a second capacitor, which are connected in parallel to the secondary side of the transformer; and
a rectification unit that is connected to the auxiliary circuit unit, with an output inductor being removed.
2. The phase shift full bridge converter of claim 1 , wherein the transformer includes a leakage inductor and reduces current stress by using a resonance between the leakage inductor and the first capacitor.
3. The phase shift full bridge converter of claim 1 , wherein the
the first switch, the second capacitor and the second switch are connected in series in that order and are connected in parallel with the secondary side of the transformer.
4. The phase shift full bridge converter of claim 1 , wherein the auxiliary circuit unit operates at the same time when a free wheeling interval of a synchronous rectifier is terminated, and increases a secondary current of the transformer.
5. The phase shift full bridge converter of claim 1 , wherein the rectification unit includes two synchronous rectifiers and one output capacitor, with an output inductor being removed.
