Description

Half-bridge LLC resonant converter
Technical Field
The invention relates to the field of switching converters, in particular to a wide-gain LLC resonant converter.
Background
With the rapid development of the industrial level in recent years, people have increasingly increased demands for medium-high power converters, and the traditional flyback architecture cannot simultaneously meet the requirements of high power density, high reliability, high efficiency and high gain. The LLC converter, as a resonant converter, has the advantages of low noise, low EMI, low stress, low switching loss, and the like. When the traditional LLC resonant converter is applied to the occasion of a wider input voltage range, in order to realize high-gain output, the adjustment range of the switching frequency is wider by adopting a PWM (pulse-width modulation) strategy, and when the switching frequency is low, the converter works in a capacitive region, zero-voltage conduction (ZVS) is difficult to realize, and the efficiency of the converter is also obviously reduced.
Based on the fact that many scholars at home and abroad propose to adopt various control modes and various novel LLC topologies to improve the gain of the LLC converter under wide-range input. For example, chinese patent application publication No. CN 112332674 a discloses a dual-mode control scheme, which adopts a full-bridge LLC frequency conversion control mode when the input voltage is in a low-voltage section, a full-bridge LLC fixed-frequency control mode when the input voltage is in a medium-voltage section, and a half-bridge LLC frequency conversion control mode when the input voltage is in a high-voltage section; the gain range of full-bridge frequency conversion PFM control is 2-1, the gain range of full-bridge fixed frequency PWM control is 1-0.5, the gain range of half-bridge fixed frequency PWM control is 0.5-0.25, the full-bridge topology PFM control mode is switched to full-bridge topology PWM, and the circuit gain range of half-bridge topology PWM is switched to 2-0.25.
In a high-voltage input occasion, the input current of the primary side of the LLC resonant converter is small, a half-bridge LLC circuit is generally selected to be used, and compared with a full-bridge LLC circuit, the LLC resonant converter is simple in structure, the design difficulty of the primary side driving circuit is greatly reduced, and meanwhile the cost and the volume of the system are effectively saved. In a resonant cavity of a traditional half-bridge LLC resonant converter, only a single resonant capacitor Cr is arranged, as shown in figure 1, a split resonant capacitor structure is derived on the basis, as shown in figure 2, for the LLC resonant converter with the single resonant capacitor, the LLC resonant converter adopting the split resonant capacitors Cr1 and Cr2 has smaller input current ripple and root mean square value, and the capacitance value of each split resonant capacitor is only half of that of the single resonant capacitor.
In order to further improve the efficiency of the half-bridge LLC resonant converter, a clamping branch is added, as shown in fig. 3, when the switching tubes S3 and S4 of the clamping branch are simultaneously turned on, current circulates between the resonant inductor Lr, the excitation inductor Lm and the clamping branch, so that the resonant current is prevented from flowing through the resonant capacitors Cr1 and Cr2 when the switching tubes S1 and S2 on the primary side are turned off, which is beneficial to reducing the energy loss on the parasitic resistors of the resonant capacitors Cr1 and Cr2, thereby effectively improving the efficiency of the converter.
With the increasing importance of energy efficiency and environmental protection, people expect higher standby efficiency of the switching power supply, in order to reduce the loss of the switching power supply in light and no load and improve the efficiency, some researchers propose that the converter works in an intermittent mode, namely a Burst mode, and in the mode, the converter can continuously work for a plurality of cycles and then be turned off for a plurality of cycles according to the condition of load feedback, and the method can effectively reduce the switching loss and reduce the static power consumption. For portable power converter device applications, efficiency under light load is a very important indicator, and therefore Burst control mode is essential. When the input voltage of the half-bridge LLC resonant converter is suddenly changed or is in a high-voltage light no-load or Burst mode, the transient voltage change rate (dv/dt) of the short-time drain source of the switching tube is overlarge, and meanwhile, the working reliability of the converter is seriously influenced because the voltage and current stress at two ends of the switching tube is aggravated by the asymmetry of the parasitic resistance of the resonant capacitor and the equivalent resistance of a PCB circuit. In order to reduce the drain-source stress of the switching tube in light no-load and large dynamic processes to enable the leakage-source stress to meet the protection requirement of output voltage, the traditional control method is to compare the voltage at two ends of an input/output and a resonant capacitor with a reference threshold value after sampling, and then enable a controller to control the driving pulse of the switching tube to achieve the purpose of soft switching, or adopt a buffer circuit to absorb the stress of the switching tube, but the control methods need additional hardware circuits to realize the control methods, the cost is higher, the control strategy is more complex, the response time of protection action is longer relative to the switching period when the system is abnormal, and the transient voltage change rate (dv/dt) of the short-term drain-source of the switching tube is too large to enable the switching tube to be damaged.
In view of this, the invention provides a half-bridge LLC resonant converter circuit to solve the problems of high-voltage startup and Burst mode switch tube damage of a wide-gain LLC resonant converter in the prior art.

Detailed Description
First embodiment
The present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to fig. 4. The embodiment provides a wide-gain LLC resonant converter, which comprises an input source Vin, a primary LLC resonant circuit 10, a transformer T, a secondary rectification circuit 20 and an output load Ro, wherein the input source Vin, the primary LLC resonant circuit 10, the transformer T, the secondary rectification circuit 20 and the output load Ro are sequentially connected from input to output, the primary LLC resonant circuit 10 comprises an anode connected to the input source Vin, a cathode connected to the input source Vin, a half-bridge switching circuit, a clamping circuit, a resistor R1, a first resonant capacitor Cr1, a second resonant capacitor Cr2, a resonant inductor Lr and an excitation inductor Lm, the secondary rectification circuit comprises a switching tube SR1, a switching tube SR2 and an output filter capacitor Co, and the switching tube SR1 and the switching tube SR2 are MOS tubes or diodes.
The half-bridge switching circuit is provided with a first switching tube S1 and a first switching tube S2, the drain electrode of the first switching tube S1 is connected to the positive electrode of the input end of the primary LLC resonant circuit 10, the source electrode of the first switching tube S1 is connected to the drain electrode of the first switching tube S2, and the source electrode of the first switching tube S2 is connected to the negative electrode of the input end; the first resonant capacitor Cr1 and the second resonant capacitor Cr2 are connected in series and then connected in parallel to the positive electrode of the input end and the negative electrode of the input end of the primary LLC resonant circuit 10, and the resistor R1 is connected in parallel with the first resonant capacitor Cr 1; one end of the resonant inductor Lr is connected to the source of the first switching tube S1, and the other end of the resonant inductor Lr is connected to the end of the primary winding Np of the transformer T.
The clamping circuit is formed by reversely connecting a third switching tube S3 and a fourth switching tube S4 in series, the drain electrode of the third switching tube S3 is connected with the middle connection point of the first switching tube S1 and the second switching tube S2, the source electrode of the third switching tube S3 is connected with the source electrode of the fourth switching tube S4, and the drain electrode of the fourth switching tube S4 is connected with the middle connection point of the first resonant capacitor Cr1 and the second resonant capacitor Cr 2.
In this embodiment, the LLC resonant converter adopts a bimodal control in the full voltage range, that is, in the low voltage input section, the LLC resonant converter adopts a PFM control mode, and in the high voltage input section, a PWM control mode.
The input power Vin adopts the bus voltage of an AC/DC output end, and because the invention only aims at the high-voltage input section, the subsequent control description part only unfolds the high-voltage input section. In the whole high-voltage input section range, the LLC resonant converter works in a PWM control mode, the switching frequency is equal to the resonant frequency fr, and the output voltage gain is adjusted by changing the duty ratio D of the first switching tube S1 and the second switching tube S2; there is a maximum duty cycle Dmax at the minimum input voltage of the high voltage input section and a minimum duty cycle Dmin at the maximum input voltage of the high voltage input section.
In the prior art, a first switching tube S1 and a second switching tube S2 of an LLC resonant converter are directly connected in parallel with an input source Vin, and when a high-voltage starting machine is instantaneously started, the drain-source electrodes of the first switching tube S1 and the second switching tube S2 have larger dv/dt, so that the first switching tube S1 and the second switching tube S2 are driven to have crosstalk, and the common crosstalk is caused, and further the switching tubes are damaged. After the resistor R1 connected with the first resonant capacitor Cr1 in parallel is added, at the startup moment, a loop consisting of the input source Vin, the first resistor R1, the first resonant capacitor Cr1 and the second resonant capacitor Cr2 can charge the first resonant capacitor Cr1 and the second resonant capacitor Cr2, so that the influence of overlarge drain-source electrode dv/dt of the first switch tube S1 and the second switch tube S2 on a primary side switch tube during high-voltage startup is avoided, the drain-source electrode stress of the first switch tube S1 and the second switch tube S2 at the startup moment can be effectively reduced, and a better protection effect on a system is further achieved. The product of the resistance of the resistor R1 and the capacitance of the first and second resonant capacitors Cr1 and Cr2 is called a time constant tau, which is used for describing the charging and discharging speeds of the first and second resonant capacitors Cr1 and Cr2, and when the capacitance of the first and second resonant capacitors Cr1 and Cr2 is determined, the smaller the resistance of the resistor R1 is, the smaller the time constant is, the faster the charging and discharging speeds of the first and second resonant capacitors Cr1 and Cr2 are, and vice versa.
Second embodiment
The present embodiment will be described in detail with reference to fig. 5. The wide gain LLC resonant converter in this embodiment includes: the primary LLC resonant circuit 10 comprises an input end anode, an input end cathode, a half-bridge circuit consisting of a first switch tube S1 and a second switch tube S2, a clamping circuit consisting of a third switch tube S3 and a fourth switch tube S4 which are reversely connected in series, a first resistor R1, a second resistor R2, a first resonant capacitor Cr1, a second resonant capacitor Cr2, a resonant inductor Lr and an excitation inductor Lm; the secondary side rectification circuit consists of a switch tube SR1, a switch tube SR2 and a secondary side output filter capacitor Co, and the switch tube SR1 and the switch tube SR2 are MOS tubes or diodes.
In this embodiment, the LLC resonant converter adopts a bimodal control in the full voltage range, that is, in the low voltage input section, the LLC resonant converter adopts a PFM control mode, and in the high voltage input section, a PWM control mode.
The input source Vin adopts the bus voltage of an AC/DC output end, and because the invention only aims at the high-voltage input section, the subsequent control description part only unfolds the high-voltage input section. In the whole high-voltage input section range, the LLC resonant converter works in a PWM control mode, the switching frequency is equal to the resonant frequency fr, and the output voltage gain is adjusted by changing the duty ratio D of a switching tube; there is a maximum duty cycle Dmax at the minimum input voltage of the high voltage input section and a minimum duty cycle Dmin at the maximum input voltage of the high voltage input section.
When the LLC resonant converter operates in the PWM control mode, the control timing is shown in fig. 6. Wherein, VGS1Is a first switch tube S1 driving signal, VGS2For the second switching tube S2 driving signal, VGS3For the third switching tube S3 driving signal, VGS4For the fourth switching tube S4 driving signal, iSR1For switching tube SR1 current, iSR2For switching tube SR2 current, VGSR1For the driving signal of the switching tube SR1, VGSR2For driving the signal of the switching tube SR2, ILmFor exciting inductor current, ILrFor resonant cavity current, the switching frequencies of the first to fourth switching tubes S1-S4 are equal and fixed, the first switching tube S1 and the third switching tube S3 are complementarily conducted, the second switching tube S2 and the fourth switching tube S4 are complementarily conducted, the duty ratio of the first switching tube S1 is equal to the duty ratio of the second switching tube S2, both are smaller than 50% and 180% out of phase, the duty ratio of the third switching tube S3 is equal to the duty ratio of the fourth switching tube S4, both are larger than 50% and 180% out of phase, the control of the output voltage is realized by adjusting the duty ratio of the first switching tube S1, and the larger the duty ratio of the first switching tube S1 is, the larger the gain of the output voltage is.
In order to reduce the voltage stress of the drain-source electrodes of the first and second switching tubes S1, S2 during a large dynamic process and meet the output voltage protection requirement, the driving pulses of the first and second switching tubes S1, S2 are generally controlled by comparing the sampled input/output voltage with a reference threshold, but the response time of these protection actions is long relative to the switching frequency, and the short-time large dv/dt of the drain-source electrodes of the first and second switching tubes S1, S2 is enough to damage the switching tubes. When the converter starts, the input voltage is too high, the first resonant capacitor Cr1 and the second resonant capacitor Cr2 are respectively connected in parallel with the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2 and then connected in series, and then connected in parallel with the input source Vin, the first resonant capacitor Cr1 and the second resonant capacitor Cr2 can be charged at the starting moment through a series loop of the input source Vin, the first resistor R1 and the second resistor R2, and the influence on the first switching tube S1 and the second switching tube S2 caused by the overlarge voltage transient change rate (dv/dt) of the drain-source electrodes of the first switching tube S1 and the second switching tube S2 at the starting moment can be effectively avoided through charging the first resonant capacitor Cr1 and the second resonant capacitor Cr2, so that the drain-source electrode stress of the first switching tube S1 and the second switching tube S2 at the starting moment can be effectively reduced, and a better protection effect on a system is further achieved.
The light and no-load efficiency of the switching power supply is a key index, and in order to reduce the power loss of the switching power supply during light and no-load and improve the efficiency, the switching power supply needs to be controlled to be in an intermittent working mode during light and no-load. When the wide-gain LLC resonant converter is in a high-voltage light-no-load Burst mode, if the incomplete discharge of the switching tube junction capacitance during the Burst pause period can cause the Burst start of the next period, the first to fourth switching tubes S1-S4 are in a hard switching state, ZVS cannot be realized, meanwhile, when there is tolerance in the first and second resonant capacitors Cr1, Cr2 or the equivalent resistances at the two ends of the first and second resonant capacitors Cr1, Cr2 are different (including the case of adding only the first resistor R1 in the embodiment), the voltages at the two ends of the resonant capacitors are asymmetric, thereby causing the asymmetric resonant current in the first several periods in the Burst mode, the large current spikes at the moment of turning on and off the first and second switching tubes S1, S2 damage the switching tubes, the circuit operating waveforms are shown in fig. 7, wherein VGS1 is the driving signal of the first switching tube S1, and Vds1 is the drain-source voltage of the first switching tube S1, ids1 drain-source current of the first switch tube S1, Ids2 drain-source current of the second switch tube S2, VCr1 is voltage across the first resonant capacitor Cr1, VCr2 is voltage across the second resonant capacitor Cr2, and Ir is resonant cavity current.
In this embodiment, after the first and second resistors R1 and R2 are added, voltage sharing is realized, so that voltages at two ends of the first and second resonant capacitors Cr1 and Cr2 are substantially the same, resonant currents of the first several cycles in the Burst mode are also symmetrical, and current spikes at the switching instants of the first and second switching tubes S1 and S2 are reduced by half, so that an effective protection effect is provided for a system, and a circuit operating waveform is as shown in fig. 8.
Third embodiment
