Full textAbstract:
This study investigated the Class-E power amplifier operating at 5.2 GHz. Since the operation of this amplifier applies a lot of stress on the switching transistor, a cascode topology was applied in order to reduce the drain-source voltage stress. Such an amplifier was designed and optimized in order to improve stability, power added efficiency, and matching. A layout for the said design was then created to be fabrication-ready using the TSMC 0.18 um technology. Post-layout simulations were performed in order to realize a more realistic circuit performance with the layout design in mind. Long-term stress effects, such as oxide breakdown, on the key transistors were modeled and simulated in order to achieve an understanding of how leakage currents affect the overall circuit performance. Simulated results were compared and contrasted against theoretical understanding using derived equations. Recommendations for future advancements were made for modification and optimization of the circuit by the application of other stress reduction strategies, variation in the class-E topology, and improvement of the driver stage.<br>M.S.E.E.<br>School of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science<br>Engineering and Computer Science<br>Electrical Engineering MSEE

Full textAbstract:
Questa tesi tratta dell’amplificatore di potenza (PA–Power Amplifier) operante in classe E. Si tratta di un convertitore DC/AC ad elevato rendimento che può trovare impiego in numerose applicazioni in cui il problema della generazione di calore o la necessità di non sprecare energia sono particolarmente stringenti (ad esempio apparati per cui non è previsto un impianto di raffreddamento e/o apparati alimentati a batteria). L’elevato rendimento di un amplificatore operante in classe E deriva dalle specifiche forme d’onda ai capi del dispositivo attivo impiegato, tali per cui la perdita di commutazione durante la fase di accensione dello switch diviene pressoché trascurabile (Zero-Voltage-Switching e Zero-Derivative-Voltage Turn-ON). Il prezzo da pagare per ottenere queste benefiche forme d’onda è quello di avere un valore di cresta della tensione sul dispositivo che commuta assai più elevato del valore medio, coincidente con la tensione di alimentazione DC. In generale si stima una tensione di picco fra le 3 e le 5 volte più elevata della tensione DC, in funzione del Duty-Cycle e dell’assorbimento di corrente sul carico. Occorre poi tenere presente che in condizioni dinamiche (ad esempio qualora si collegasse direttamente l’amplificatore all’alimentazione) potrebbero innescarsi dei transitori tali per cui la tensione di picco ecceda anche il range suddetto. Per questo motivo è bene porre un limite alla massima tensione di picco adottando dei circuiti di protezione del transistore al fine di evitare la sua distruzione per limiti legati alla tensione di breakdown. Questi circuiti sono denominati clamper: in questa tesi valuteremo le modalità con cui si può implementare tale protezione; valuteremo, inoltre, i vantaggi e gli svantaggi derivanti dall’impiego di tali circuiti.
Questi clamper sono prevalentemente di tipo dissipativo (Zener); nel corso della tesi si è studiato la realizzazione di un clamper rigenerativo che utilizza un trasformatore, ma si è constatata la irrealizzabilità fisica a causa della inevitabile presenza della induttanza dispersa.

Full textAbstract:
This project proposes a new hybrid voltage divider DC-DC converter that utilizes switching capacitors and inductors to produce zero voltage switching (ZVS) at the turn on state of its switches. By achieving ZVS, the switching losses are significantly reduced; thus, increasing the overall efficiency of the converter at various loads. The goal for this thesis is to perform analysis of the operation of the converter, derive equations for sizing the main components, and demonstrate its functionality through computer simulation and hardware prototype. Results of the simulation and hardware testing show that the proposed converter produces the desired output voltage while providing the zero voltage switching benefits. The converter’s efficiency reaches above 92% starting from 1A load and continues to increase to 97.6% at 4A load. Overall, results from this thesis verifies the potential of the proposed converter as an alternative solution to achieve a very efficient DC-DC solution when half of the input voltage is required at the output without the use of complex feedback control circuitry.

ABSTRACT
Digitally-Controlled Two-Phase Zero-Voltage-Switching Quasi-Resonant Buck Converter
Brian Luc
This thesis entails the design, construction, and performance analysis of a digitally-controlled two-phase Zero-Voltage Switching Quasi-Resonant (ZVS-QR) buck converter. The converter is aimed to address the issues associated with powering CPUs operating at lower voltage and high current. To evaluate its performance, the Two-Phase ZVS-QR buck converter is compared against a traditional Two-Phase buck converter. The design procedure required to implement both converters through utilizing the characterization curve and formulas derived from their circuit configurations will be presented. Computer simulation of the Two-Phase ZVS-QR buck converter is provided to exhibit its operation and potential for use in low voltage and high current applications. In addition, hardware prototypes for both ZVS-QR and traditional buck converters are constructed utilizing a Programmable Interface Controller (PIC). Results from hardware tests demonstrate the success of using digital controller for the 60W 12VDC to 1.5VDC ZVS-QR buck converter. Merits and drawbacks based on the operation and performance of both converters will also be assessed and described. Further work to improve the performance of ZVS-QR will also be presented.

Full textAbstract:
As is the case for DC-DC converters, multi-phase converters require both high-quality power control and high power-density. Although a higher switching frequency not only improves the quality of the converter output but also decreases the size of the converter, it increases switching losses and electromagnetic interference (EMI) noise. Since the soft-switching topologies reduce the switching losses of the converter main switches, the topologies make converters partially independent from the switching frequency. However, the conventional soft-switching topologies have already proposed most of the possible ways to improve converter performance. In addition, the trends of the newly generated power devices reduce the advantages of soft-switching topologies. This critical situation surrounding soft-switching topologies gives research motivations: What features of soft-switching topologies facilitate their practical applications? Given this motivation, the dissertation discusses two aspects = simplifying auxiliary circuits and accounting for the effects of soft-switching operations on the converter control.
Engineers working with medium- and high-power multi-phase converters require simplified soft-switching topologies that have the same level of performance as the conventional soft-switching topologies. This demand is the impetus behind one of the research objectives = simplifying the auxiliary circuits of Zero-Voltage-Transition (ZVT) inverters. Simplifying the auxiliary circuits results in both a smaller number of and lower cost for auxiliary components, without any negative impact on performance. This dissertation proposes two major concepts for the simplification - the Single-Switch Single-Leg (S3L) ZVT cell and the Phase-Lock (PL) concept.
Throughout an effort to eliminate circulating currents of inductor-coupled (IC) ZVT converters, the S3L ZVT cell is developed. The proposed cell allows a single auxiliary switch to achieve zero-voltage conditions for both the top and bottom main switches, and it achieves the same level of performance as the conventional ZVT cell, as well. This proposal makes IC ZVT topologies more attractive to multi-phase converter applications.
Because all of the top main switches generally have identical sequences for zero-voltage turn-on commutations, one auxiliary switch might handle the commutations of all of the top main switches. This possibility introduces the PL concept, which allows the two auxiliary switches to provide a zero-voltage condition for any main switch commutation. In order to compensate for restrictions of this concept, a modified space-vector modulation (SVM) scheme also is introduced.
A soft-switching topology changes the duty ratios of the converter, which affects the controllability of the converter. Therefore, this dissertation selects resolution of this issue as one of the research objectives. This dissertation derives the generalized timing equations of ZVT operations, and the generalized equations formulize the effect of ZVT operation on both duty ratios and DC current. Moreover, the effect of SVM schemes is also investigated. An average model of the ZVT converter is developed using both the timing analysis and the investigation of SVM schemes, and small-signal analysis using the average model predicts the steady-state characteristics of the converter.<br>Ph.

The specific application for this thesis was a buck converter IC with an input voltage of up to 42V. The method utilizes the addition of an auxiliary circuit composed of a helper inductor and two helper power MOSFETs that compliment the switching transition of a conventional synchronous buck converter topology. It is shown in this thesis that by using the described topology, the switching losses of the high-side power MOSFET in a synchronous buck converter can be reduced by up to 45%. Furthermore, it is shown that a similar helper circuit could be used to reduce the gate drive losses for both power MOSFETs in a synchronous buck converter by up to 60%. Since the method requires the use of an additional helper inductor with a small value (10-50 nH), various methods to integrate this inductor into an IC package are investigated. 0.35[mu]m BiCMOS technology was used to simulate and analyze the merits of the described topology and compare it to the LT8697, a hard-switched synchronous buck converter IC.<br>by Ahmet Can Musabeyoglu.<br>M.

This thesis gives a description of working principles of a Phase-Shifted Full-Bride PWM ZVS converter using a Full-Wave rectifying output as well as a Double Current Rectifier. After a description of each topology and some differences between the two topologies, a hybrid solution is presented. The hybrid configuration is a combined FW and DCR, in an interleaved connection. By the opening and closing of a switch that is located between the two output stages, either a DCR-DCR or DCR-FW rectifying output stage is used for the converter. This allows for dynamic turns ratio of the step-up transformer of the converter, as well as reduced primary and secondary side currents.
The voltage for when to switch between the two output configurations is derived analytically. Simulations carried out in LTSpice to verify the analytical results and the hypothesis of reduced currents and losses are presented in the end.

Approved for public release; distribution is unlimited.<br>A technique for operating a pulse-width-modulated (PWM) dc-dc regulator in the boost mode while switching the MOSFET when the drain-to-source potential is near zero volts was developed and is described in this thesis. This is accomplished by using frequency-modulation in addition to pulse-width-modulation. Zero-voltage switching will provide power converter designers an alternative for designing high-frequency converters with minimal transient turn-on losses, the predominant form of converter losses experienced in high frequency operation. High frequency operation will result in smaller reactive components, which produce higher power density converters, as well as increasing the transient response of the regulated converter. In addition to allowing for high frequency operation, the design exhibits many desirable power switch properties, such as limiting the peak voltage to the output voltage level and operating with the minimum possible current levels for a given power requirement. A circuit built and tested utilizing zero-voltage switching in a regulated boost converter verified the principles of operation for yielding a high-efficiency, high-frequency converter.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立交通大學<br>電控工程研究所<br>106<br>Wireless power transfer system (WPT) technology in recent years gradually improves. A large number of commercial electronic equipment have great demands for high power. Thus, high power and high efficiency become an important issue. WPT system includes transmitter (TX) and receiver (RX). During the transmission, the changes of load and the relative distance affect transmission power and efficiency. Generally speaking, the most common solution is the frequency modulation technique but it contradicts the switching frequency requirement in the A4WP specifications. That is, the modulated frequency is far from the desired switching frequency which is defined as 6.78MHz ± 15kHz. Another intuitive practice is to use a number of compensation capacitors to digitally modulate and achieve the matching requirements corresponding to the variations of WPT system. Unfortunately, in order to resist wide load variation in high power demands, this modulation method must be combined with multiple high voltage switches and compensation capacitors, thereby occupying a larger footprint area and reducing control efficiency. In this thesis, a main structure with a Class-E power amplifier and a Gallium Nitride (GaN) power transistor used at the TX terminal are proposed. The control circuit causes the GaN power transistor to reach zero voltage (ZVS) switching and zero voltage derivative (ZVDS) switching. The power transmission achieves high power and high efficiency simultaneously. Moreover, compared with the state-of-the-arts, due to the voltage controlled compensation capacitor in the analogy modulation method, the control is relatively simple and area efficient.

This proposed technique compensates control circuit delay and hence turns on the power MOS at the exact instant of lowest/zero drain-to-source voltage. No complicated timing calculation circuits or additional external components are required. This proposed integrated Lowest-Voltage-Switching and ZVS control can be applied to other DC-DC converters as well. Circuit analysis, implementation and the die photo are shown. Experimental results for an example circuit with VIN of 5V and VOUT of 1.8V and 3.3V reveal that buck converters with the presented Lowest-Voltage-Switching and ZVS technique have higher efficiency than conventional ones, especially at higher frequencies. At about 1.35MHz and 3.6MHz operation, the measured conversion efficiency of the PWM buck converter under DCM/CCM boundary mode with the proposed Lowest-Voltage-Switching and ZVS approach is 9% and 11% higher, respectively. Also, the replenishing scheme for the holding capacitor in sample and hold circuit is designed and simulated. Its operation is analyzed and simulation results are illustrated. Furthermore, buck converter with synchronous rectifier and its related ZVS gating control is presented. Analysis and simulation results are conducted and shown.

碩士<br>國立彰化師範大學<br>電機工程學系<br>99<br>Nowadays, relay plays an important role in the necessary components of automatic equipment. The operation principle of relay is that it will produce the electromagnetic effect and attract magnets to the core after coil of Relay is electrified. On the other hand, once the power supply is removed from the coil of relay, the magnets will break off when the electromagnetic attraction disappears, and therefore to achieve the goal of controlling electric equipment with relay. However, when Relay is conducted or turned off, there are several problems will come after, such as the contact of Relay will produce spark easily, the contact will oxidize and bring dust. Moreover, the life time and reliability of device will be reduced after all.
In this thesis, Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) relay is proposed to reduce the phenomenon of spark discharge. To utilize the ZVS function, the zero voltage signal of the grid is detected by Micro Controller, and turn on/off relay during the zero voltage region. First, the turn on/off switching time is tested and recorded, whose is required for adjusting the parameter in microcontroller. While user conducts and cuts off the signal, microcontroller will enable/disable relay to control relay on/off. Finally, the experiment result reveals the proposed method is feasible, while resistance load is applied to the circuit.

With no need to use any components for active-clamping circuit or snubber circuit, both active switches can operate at zero-voltage switching-on(ZVS) by freewheeling the converter current through the body diode of the MOSFET. The switching losses can be effectively reduced, thus improving the overall circuit efficiency. As compared with traditional flyback converter, the interleaved converter has the advantages of lower current and voltage ripples. It helps to reduce the voltage and current stresses on the circuit components, leading to increase the circuit reliability.

Full textAbstract:
博士<br>國立成功大學<br>微電子工程研究所碩博士班<br>101<br>In this dissertation, three novel zero-voltage switching resonant converters are proposed. The proposed converter 1 and converter 2 combine two parallel resonant converter cells by operating with an interleaved half switching cycle to allot the input current equally on active switches, and to mitigate the root-mean-square (rms) current on primary windings such that the copper losses of transformers and the size of the magnetic core are reduced. Using the complementary circuit modules to transport the energy lessens the ripple current on the input capacitor such that the capacitance is reduced. Therefore, those topologies defeat the high current stress of passive and active component disadvantage of formal LLC resonant converter for high power. By incorporating the two series half-bridge legs and two split capacitors to limit the stress voltage of active switches within a half input voltage, two high 480V to 600V input and 24V/40A output resonant converters for high input voltage applications are demonstrated. To balance the secondary winding currents and share the load currents, the series-parallel connected transformers are adopted in converter 1. Not only is the heat effectively relieved, but also is higher efficiency performed due to the less switching and conduction losses. Besides, the series–series connected transformers are adopted in converter 2 to balance the primary and secondary winding currents. Not only is the heat effectively relieved, but only four rectifier diodes are also used as replacement of the eight features in terms of low cost, small size, and light weight. The average active-mode efficiency of converter 1 and converter 2 are above 90.5 % and 88 %, respectively.
Moreover, a novel DC/DC converter with cascode two circuit modules for high input voltage application is researched in converter 3. The converter combines two series resonant converter cells by operating with an interleaved one-fourth switching cycle to allot the input current equally on active switches. Using the interleaved circuit modules to transport the energy lessens the ripple current on the input and output capacitors such that the capacitance is reduced. The primary windings of two transformers are connected in series to balance the secondary winding currents, and the secondary windings of two transformers are connected in parallel to reduce the current stresses on the secondary windings. The average active-mode efficiency is above 92 %.
On the other hand, the voltage stress of the rectifier diodes in those topologies are almost clamped to twice the output voltage, rather than being more than twice that of asymmetrical half-bridge converters. Thus, low voltage rating Schottky or ultra-fast diodes are used in the second side to reduce cost. To decrease the reverse recovery losses of rectifier diodes, the switching frequency at full load is designed to be lower than the series resonant frequency. The high input voltage applications include three-phase 380V utility system, ship electric power distribution system, server power supply, data storage system, and fuel cell system.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>中原大學<br>電機工程研究所<br>98<br>Since the requirements for both regulation and standard on power quality and current harmonics are more strict in recent years, many switch mode rectifier techniques are widely adopted. There are many different kinds of basic types for switch mode rectifier. Three-phase six-switch topology in three-phase supply power system is often used in the equipment of the communication industry due to the facts that it has better power quality, lower current harmonics, and higher reliability; also, it is suitable for need in high power application.
Adopting hard switching in switch mode power supply technology would cause low efficiency and high electromagnetic interference. In this thesis, there is an analysis and design for a soft-switching scheme that contains zero voltage switching and zero current switching. This analysis and the design combined with a three-phase six-switch topology rectifier creates a new three-phase soft-switching rectifier which would have characteristics of stable output voltage, high efficient, high power density, high power factor, and low electromagnetic interference.

碩士<br>崑山科技大學<br>電機工程研究所<br>99<br>In the currently known converters, the class E resonant converter is the most efficient one, and different combinations of resonant inductance and resonant capacitance inside the resonant trough of the resonant converter can produce different resonance effects, so that when the resonant converter power switch is operated at zero voltage switching (ZVS) or zero current switching (ZCS), the losses due to power switch on-and-off can be reduced, and the converter efficiency is thus enhanced, to avoid unnecessary waste of energy.
Presented in this paper is the novel zero-voltage-switch loaded resonant converter whose power switch can be operated at a zero voltage switching (ZVS) mode to reduce the switching losses so as to improve the converter efficiency. This new converter needs only a single power switch as well as a single set of driving signals, while the traditional class D resonant converter needs two power switches and two sets of driving signals, which inevitably results in higher production costs and won’t be able to reach the expected circuit efficiency. As a result, this paper is for the development of the novel low-cost and high efficient zero-voltage-switch loaded resonant converter.

Besides, a resonant converter can also achieve ZVS(Zero Voltage Switching) or ZCS(Zero Current Switching) at the time of switching, which can reduce switching losses and enhance the efficiency of converters. The class E resonant converter is currently the most efficient among all the converter classes.
We can adjust switching frequency to obtain soft-switching and connect two capacitors, instead of two Schottky barrier diode, at the bridge and full wave rectifier.

碩士<br>國立中山大學<br>電機工程學系研究所<br>101<br>Conventional phase-shift full-bridge converter can achieve Zero-Voltage Switching (ZVS) at power switches by phase shift control of switches’ driving signal. However, the problems such as freewheeling circulating loss, duty cycle loss, parasitic ringing and hard to achieves ZVS in the lagging leg switches at light load still exist in the conventional phase-shift full-bridge converter. Thus the conventional phase-shift full-bridge converter can not be operated efficiently at light load. This thesis implements a hybrid Zero-Voltage and Zero Current Switching (ZVZCS) phase-shift full-bridge converter. An auxiliary resonant circuit is added to the secondary side of the conventional phase-shift full-bridge converter to generate resonant current. Based on the generated resonant current, the ZVS for leading-leg switches and ZCS for lagging-leg switches can be achieved without modifying the original switches’ driving Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) signals. The freewheeling circulating loss, duty cycle loss and parasitic ringing can therefore be reduced. The detailed operation modes and circuit parameters design for the proposed converter are analyzed in this thesis. A circuit prototype for the proposed ZVZCS phase-shift full-bridge converter with rated power 480W is implemented in this thesis. The performances between the conventional phase-shift full-bridge converter and the proposed ZVZCS phase-shift full-bridge converter are also investigated. Experimental results demonstrate the features of the proposed ZVZCS converter.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣海洋大學<br>電機工程學系<br>100<br>The main purpose of this thesis is to research and develop two
different kinds of battery chargers of resonant-switch converters. Starting
with the zero voltage switch (ZVS) and the converters, which employ the quasi-resonant converter (QRC) technique,we gain the best parameters of the resonance components from the characteristic curve diagrams of these two converters. Then we design battery chargers based on these two structures and use them to experiment on lead-acid batteries. According to experiments, the battery charger with the zero voltage switch quasi-resonant converter (ZVS-QRC) is turned on and turned off at the point of zero voltage, while the one with the zero current switch quasi-resonant converter (ZCS-QRC) is turned on and off at the point of zero current. The result proves that both chargers reach the resonance-switched standard. Moreover, when compared with the charger with the traditional pulse-width-modulation (PWM) converter,the charger with ZVS or ZCS quasi-resonant converters indeed lowers the temperature of the switch, resulting in the reduction of switch losses.
Subsequently, in this thesis we combine the zero voltage transition
(ZVT) soft-switched buck converter with the pulse-width modulation and
the resonance technology to maintain constant operation frequency. It is
an effective way to reduce the switch loss of the traditional hard-switching converter, filling the requirement that all circuit
components are zero voltage switched ones. In the meanwhile, two
clamping diodes can be used to lengthen the resonance period, and prevent the peak value of resonance capacitance and resonance
inductance from exceeding the voltage stresses and current ones in the
traditional pulse-width-modulation converter. Therefore, we develop a
lead-acid battery charger on the basis of the zero voltage transition
soft-switched theory. According to the result of experiments,when
compared with the traditional pulse-width-modulation converter, the zero
voltage transition soft-switching buck converter can indeed lower the
temperature of the switch, reduce the switch losses and stresses,
lengthene the lives of components, improve the whole efficiency, and
further prolong the life of lead-acid battery

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立雲林科技大學<br>電機工程系碩士班<br>97<br>A novel interleaved boost converter with zero voltage switching (ZVS) and zero current switching (ZCS) characteristics is proposed in this thesis. This topology is suitable for the applications of high output voltage and low output current. A prototype converter circuit is given for 150V~250V input voltage and 400V with 200W to 600W output.
By the interleaved approach, this topology not only decreases the current stress of the main circuit device but also reduces the ripple of the input current and output voltage. Moreover, by establishing the common soft-switching module, the soft-switching interleaved converter can greatly reduce the size and cost. The main switches can achieve the characteristics of ZVS and ZCS simultaneously to reduce the switching loss and improve the efficiency for wide load range.
This topology has two operation conditions if the duty cycle can exceed 50%. The converter should have a resonant path to accomplish ZVS or ZCS in different conditions. A driving circuit design for the proposed topology determines the two conditions automatically according to the overlap condition of the duty cycles of the two switches. The driving signal of the soft-switching module is composed of the ZVS driving signal and the overlap driving signal of the two switches to achieve the functions of ZVS and ZCS.
The operational principle, theoretical analysis and design method of the proposed converter are presented. Simulation and experimental results are finally used to verify the feasibility and exactness of the proposed converter.

碩士<br>國立雲林科技大學<br>電機工程系碩士班<br>92<br>With the development of power electronic technique, the switching mode power supplies have gradually replaced the linear voltage regulator. Generally speaking, to comply with the international standard, such as IEC555-2 and IEC1000-3-2, the system can be classified into two parts: the power factor corrector circuit as the first stage and the DC / DC converter as the second stage.
In this thesis, we discuss the soft switching techniques to reduce the switching losses and increase the system efficiency. Zero voltage switching technique is used in the adopted AC / DC converter to achieve high power factor, low current harmonics, and stable DC bus voltage. For the DC / DC converter the full-bridge phase-shift zero-voltage-transition (FB-PS-ZVT) technique is also used to decrease the switching losses. In order to reduce the conduction losses at the transformer secondary winding, the current doubler rectifier is also adopted for the DC / DC converter to further reduce the losses and increase the system efficiency.
Finally the operation principle, design analysis, operating conditions to achieve zero-voltage switching, and the experimental results are described and discussed in the thesis.

This paper first analyzes the operation of the zero-voltage-switching forward converter with active clamp reset and

Finally, a design procedure of the zero-voltage-switch forward converter with active clamp reset and synchronous rectification is proposed. A design example of DC/DC converter, whose input

碩士<br>國立臺灣科技大學<br>電子工程系<br>103<br>This thesis proposed an interleaved three-phase DC-DC buck converter which is composed of three identical paralleled buck converters. Compared to the conventional paralleled buck converter, the proposed solution has three resonant inductors connected between each other of the three converters. By making use of the principle of quasi-resonant converter, the imposed inductors and the MOSFET parasitic capacitances will resonate to achieve zero-voltage-switching. Besides, the current through the free-wheeling diodes can be zero-current turned off to minimize their reverse-recovery losses. Paralleled topology can help sharing the load currents on each converter and is able to provide higher output power. MOSFETs are controlled by interleaved PWM (Pulse-Width-Modulation) signals to reduce the ripples of input and output currents. Therefore, the filtering capacitances on the input and output sides can be reduced and the power density can be improved. Circuit operation analyses, characteristic equations and simulations are given to understand the circuit. Finally, a 150W three-phase interleaved buck converter is designed, implemented and tested. According to the experimental results, high conversion efficiency over 97 % can be achieved.

With many advantages over the switched-inductor type, the switched-capacitor DC-DC power converter topologies have been widely employed.
In this thesis, on the basis of existing topology a zero-voltage and zero-current switching (ZVZCS) scheme for multilevel modular capacitor-clamped DC-DC converter (MMCCC) is proposed and analyzed. The proposed ZVZCS MMCCC circuit features that all switching devices of the circuit can achieve ZVZCS without the need of extra auxiliary switching devices. The proposed ZVZCS MMCCC can eliminate the Miller effect of the power MOSFETs during turn-on operation with the total driving losses reduced. Furthermore, there is no additional voltage and current stress on all switches out of the ZVZCS. A 200 W, four-level, three-module prototype ZVZCS MMCCC circuit has been implemented and verified through simulations and experiments.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立成功大學<br>工程科學系<br>89<br>In this thesis, the small signal mathematical model of a zero-current-zero-voltage-transition (ZCZVT) soft-switching boost power converter is proposed, and two controllers are also designed to achieve output voltage regulation.
The ZCZVT soft-switching converter is composed of a conventional PWM circuit and a resonant circuit to achieve zero voltage/zero current switching (ZVS/ZCS) and constant frequency operation. This converter overcomes the existing problems of high switching losses of the conventional PWM converters and the conduction losses due to high voltage/current stresses of resonant converters. As a result, ZCZVT soft-switching converters are suitable for high power application system.
In the literature, the soft-switching converters were only restricted to DC steady-state analysis. Most of researchers thought that the ac small signal mathematical model should be the same as that of the traditional PWM boost converter. Thus the derivation of the ac model has not been done yet. From the analysis results, the input-to-output voltage conversion ratio of the ZCZVT soft-switching converter depends on load. Moreover, the dynamical behavior will be changed under the variations of load.
In this thesis, the averaging method for the two-time-scale discontinuous system (AM-TTS-DS) is used to derive the small signal model of a ZCZVT soft-switching converter. Based on this model, a classical controller and a modified integral variable structure controller (MIVSC) are then designed. The simulation responses and experimental results show that the MIVSC controller has better regulation capacity under the variations of load and line voltage variations than classical controller.

碩士<br>國立東華大學<br>電機工程學系<br>102<br>This thesis proposes an interleaved ZVS (Zero-Voltage-Switching) power- factor-correction circuit. FPGA(Field Programmable Gate Array) is applied to coordinate the feedback signals to realize the control algorithm. The power stage is an interleaved boost converter which features not only the merits of interleaved circuits, such as higher current ripple frequency, lower ripple; but also ZVS on active switches, lower switching loss, and higher conversion efficiency from the imposed current swapping inductor. In addition, since the current swapping time is dependent on the input current level, the effective duty ratio and switch on time is also influenced. That is to say, during the line period, effective duty ratio will automatically adjust according to the line voltage varying. Furthermore, the zero-reaching instant of diode current is detected. The active switches are allowed to be gated on after this instant to achieve ZVS. FPGA is applied as the core of control coordination. This choice is due to the future development of application-specific control IC and avoiding the switching frequency limitation of applying single-chip controller. Therefore, ADC conversions are not present in the feedback control loop; instead, all the current command and compensations are realized by analog circuits. The signals sent to FPGA are in on/off state forms. By this way, the lengthy conversion time is avoided, and the switching frequency can be higher during the operation.
A prototype circuit is implemented to verify the circuit and the control algorithm. The circuit is fed with 110V line voltage, 400V dc output at 250W power. The input power factor can be higher than 99%. As for FPGA, when final synthesis, only 95 logic units and 63 registers are required to fulfill the control function.

Full textAbstract:
碩士<br>國立臺灣科技大學<br>電機工程系<br>103<br>A conventional full-bridge converter has been widely used in high input-voltage, high-power applications. Several control schemes have been applied to full-bridge converter, such as symmetrical control, phase shift control, duty cycle control, and asymmetrical control. Among these, duty cycle control and asymmetrical control have been seldom discussed and will be investigated in this thesis.
Employing symmetrical control, full bridge has been used for a long time. It suffers from large switching losses due to its hard-switching operation. It will impact the conversion efficiency and limit power density.
To improve the efficiency, phase shift full-bridge converter (PSFB) was successfully proposed instead in the last three decades. Because it can achieve ZVS operation, the switching turn-on losses are significantly reduced. To further improve efficiency, the conduction losses of the rectifier diode can be decreased by employing synchronized rectifier technique. However, two additional driver signals are not available in the popularly used phase shift controllers, such as UC3875 and UC3895.
As an alternative control scheme, full-bridge converter with duty cycle control (FBDC) is investigated. In addition to inheriting the advantages and the disadvantages of PSFB, FBDC can directly provide synchronous rectification driver signals if higher efficiency and simple controller design are demanded.
However, a circulation loss problem occurs in FBDC as well as in PSFB. Accordingly, a full-bridge converter with asymmetrical control is thus examined.
In addition to the descriptions of the operation principle and design consideration, two hardware circuits, FBDC and AFB, with same 300-400-V input and 12-V/ 360W output specifications were built and compared.

The resonant inductor and the MOSFET ‘s parasitic capacitance are used to achieve the zero-voltage-switching effect. The operating theorem of each state in the circuit has been explained. Simulations based on the IsSpice program have also be made in this thesis. Finally, a prototype with 400W rating was built to demonstrate the performance of the proposed techniques.
