Hello everyone, and thank you for joining me.

My name is Hoang Tuan Anh, and I’m here to talk about a


dual half bridge LLc resonant converter with reduced output current ripple for wide output voltage range
application. There are four parts to my topic. The first part is introduction, the second is operational
principle, next charateristic of proposed converter, and finally, experimental results and conclusion.
Introduction
Slide1
Now, we will go into Introduction, An LLC resonant converter is a type of DC-DC converter that uses a
resonant tank circuit consisting of an inductor (L), another inductor (L), and a capacitor (C) to achieve
high efficiency in power conversion. The LLC resonant converter is commonly used in applications
requiring efficient and reliable power conversion, such as led driver and battery charger…

However, this converter also has problems such as small inductance and low minimum switching
frequency. Bescause small magnetizing inductance results in large conduction loss in primary circuit,
efficiency is dercreasd. Also, due to low minimum switching frequency, RMS current flowing through the
output capacitors become large, and power density is decreased.
Slide 3
To solve aforementioned problem, this paper suggest a dual half-bridge LLC resonant converter with
hybrid rectifier circuit. Proposed converter has wide voltage gain range by using two operation modes:
voltage doubler mode and voltage quadrupler mode. Also, by reducing the output current ripple, the
number of output capacitor can be decreased, and it leads to high power density.
Slide 5
Next we will move on to operation principle of converter. The primary side of the proposed converter is
composed of dual half-bridge LLC resonant converter. In the secondary side of the proposed converter,
two voltage doubler rectifiers are integrated with reducing one diode and capacitor. The proposed
converter controls the switching frequency to regulate the output voltage, Vo. Also, it has two operation
modes: voltage doubler mode and voltage quadrupler mode. In the voltage doubler mode, the same gate
signal is applied to Q1 and Q3, and the complementary gate signal is applied to Q2 and Q4. In the voltage
quadrupler mode, the same gate signal is applied to Q1 and Q4, and the complementary gate signal is
applied to Q2 and Q3. For simple analysis, the following assumptions are made: 1) The switching
frequency, fs is smaller than the resonant frequency, fr. 2) The output capacitances, Co1, Co2, Co3, and
Co are large enough, and the voltages across Co1, Co2, Co3, and Co are constant. 3) The dead time is
small enough to be negligible.

Slide 6
Voltage doubler mode Fig. 2(a) shows the key waveforms of the proposed converter during the voltage
doubler mode. There are four modes in one switching cycle. Due to the symmetric operation of two half
cycles, only the one of the half cycle is explained. Mode 1 [t0-t1] : During this mode, the current charges
Co1, and the current discharges Co3. In other words, Co1 operate as build-up mode, and Co3 operate as
powering mode. The current is not flowing through Co2. Therefore, the operation of proposed rectifier is
the same with the voltage doubler rectifier. Mode 2 [t1-t2] : At time t1, the resonant inductor current
becomes the same with the magnetizing inductor current. The power is not transferred to the secondary
side, and the current is not flowing through the rectifier diodes.
With Voltage quadrupler mode, Mode 1 [t0-t1] : During this mode, the current charges Co1 and Co3, and
the current discharges Co2. In other words, Co1 and Co3 operate as build-up mode, and Co2 operate as
powering mode. Since, both the current transferred from Tr1 and Tr2 charges the Co2, the voltage across
Co2 is the twice as much as the voltage across Co1 and Co3. Mode 2 is similar to voltage doubler mode.
Characteristics
Fig. 3 shows AC equivalent circuit of LLC resonant converter. From figure 3 and equivalent ac resistance
can be calculated based on FHA method.
the modified voltage gain of 2 mode can be expressed as follow. By using (6) and (9), the voltage gain of
the proposed converter can be obtained as shown in Fig. 4. The proposed converter can regulate wide
output voltage range by changing the mode. The proposed converter changes the mode when the voltage
gain becomes 2.
Current ripple on output capacitors
During the voltage doubler mode, the current flowing through the rectifier diodes is divided into Co1 and
Co3 as shown in Fig. 5(a). RMS current of Co1 during voltage doubler mode, ICo1,RMS_d, can be
calculated as follow:
During the voltage quadrupler mode, the current flowing through the rectifier diodes is divided into Co1,
Co2, and Co3 as shown in Fig. 5(b). RMS current of Co1 during voltage quadrupler mode, ICo1,RMS_q,
and RMS current of Co2 during voltage quadrupler mode, ICo2,RMS_q, can be calculated as follow.
Using (12), (15), and (16), RMS current of Co1, Co2, Co3, and the total RMS current of output
capacitors, iCo,total, is shown as Fig. 6

Experimental results
To verify the effectiveness of the proposed converter, a 1500 W prototype converter is built to charge 150-
400 V. The resonant switching frequency is selected as 100 kHz and the input voltage is 400 VDC. The
detailed component list is presented in table I.
Fig. 7 shows the experimental waveforms of the proposed converter. When Vo is between 150 V and 300
V, the proposed converter operates as voltage doubler mode. When Vo is between 300 V and 400 V, the
proposed converter operates as voltage quadrupler mode. The minimum operating switching frequency of
the proposed converter is 70.5 kHz when Vo is 300 V. In case of the conventional LLC resonant converter
with voltage doubler rectifier, the minimum operating switching frequency is 49.4 kHz when Vo is 400 V
Fig. 8 shows the measured efficiency of the converters, proposed converter can achieve high efficiency
due to the small core loss of transformer and conduction loss of primary switches.

Conclusion
This paper proposes a dual half-bridge LLC resonant converter with improved rectifier circuit. The
proposed converter can regulate the output voltage under wide output voltage range with narrow
switching frequency variation. The proposed converter can decrease the number of the output capacitor
by reducing the output current ripple, and the power density of the proposed converter can increase. Also,
the proposed converter can achieve high efficiency under voltage quadrupler mode. Hence, the proposed
converter is suitable for wide output voltage range applications requiring high power density such as
battery charger application.
