Background technology
As shown in Figure 1, a kind of symmetrical half bridge structure LLC controlled resonant converter, comprise transformer, square wave maker, resonant circuit, output rectification circuit and output filter circuit, described output rectification circuit is connected between transformer secondary winding and the output filter circuit, described square wave maker input is connected to DC power supply, and described square wave maker is used for the direct voltage Vin of input is transformed to ac square-wave voltage and output.Described transformer comprises former limit winding N1, the first secondary winding N21, the second secondary winding N22.Described square wave maker comprises the first capacitor C d1, the second capacitor C d2, the first switching tube Q1 and second switch pipe Q2.The capacity of the first capacitor C d1 and the second capacitor C d2 is very big, divides equally input voltage vin, and voltage is half of input voltage vin on it.The first switching tube Q1, second switch pipe Q2 constitute a half-bridge structure, and its drive signal is to fix the complementary signal of 50% duty ratio, and the described first switching tube Q1, second switch pipe Q adopt Frequency-variable Modulation to regulate output voltage.Resonant circuit comprises the first inductance L r, resonant capacitance Cr, the second inductance L m.This resonant circuit is connected between the mid point and the first capacitor C d1 and the second capacitor C d2 of half-bridge, so resonant capacitance Cr also plays every straight effect.At outlet side, described output rectification circuit comprises the first rectifier diode D3, the second rectifier diode D4, described output filter circuit comprises output capacitance Co, the first rectifier diode D3, the second rectifier diode D4 constitute centre tapped rectification circuit, and the first rectifier diode D3, the second rectifier diode D4 are directly connected to respectively on the output capacitance Co.
Fig. 2 is the characteristic curve schematic diagram of the switching frequency f of the output voltage V o of controlled resonant converter of existing symmetrical half bridge structure and switching tube.General switching frequency can be chosen in output voltage V o among Fig. 2 and obtain frequency band after the maximum, so frequency raises, output voltage descends.As can be seen from Figure 2, when frequency is elevated to a certain degree, it is very smooth that characteristic curve becomes, even the situation that may occur going up not down, and it is very weak that frequency regulation capability becomes.When underloading or zero load, in order to reduce the output voltage switching frequency that need raise, because characteristic curve became very smooth when frequency was elevated to certain value, reduce very high that voltage need rise switching frequency, cause the operating frequency range of converter very wide.If Electro Magnetic Compatibility requires index very high, when being simple capacitive filter, then can not satisfy the output filter circuit of converter this Electro Magnetic Compatibility index request, then need to change output filter circuit into π type filter circuit or multi-stage filter circuit.If the converter operating frequency range is very wide, parameter index when the index of output filter circuit must satisfy the lowermost switch frequency, output filter causes electric capacity and inductance parameters in the filter very big because frequency is low like this, thereby needs to select the very big filter of volume.In addition, can make when operating frequency is too high that rectifier diode loses the zero-current switching characteristic, it is very high to cause exporting rectifier diode both end voltage spike, must select high withstand voltage diode, and the conduction voltage drop of high withstand voltage diode is higher, thereby loss is multiplied, and causes transducer reliability to reduce decrease in efficiency.
Such as asymmetrical half-bridge LLC controlled resonant converter, the very wide problem of control frequency of converter is arranged all for other LLC series resonant converter.
To sum up, existing controlled resonant converter has following deficiency: when underloading or zero load, in order to reduce the output voltage switching frequency that need raise, because characteristic curve became very smooth when frequency was elevated to certain value, reduce very high that voltage need rise switching frequency, cause the operating frequency range of converter very wide.The very wide output filter circuit that causes of converter switches frequency range is difficult to optimize, and the requirement of output filter circuit must satisfy low-limit frequency the time, cause electric capacity and inductance parameters in the output filter circuit very big, thereby cause the volume of output filter circuit very big.Can make when operating frequency is too high in addition that rectifier diode loses the zero-current switching characteristic, it is very high to cause exporting rectifier diode both end voltage spike, must select high withstand voltage diode, and the conduction voltage drop of high withstand voltage diode is higher, thereby loss is multiplied, cause transducer reliability to reduce decrease in efficiency.
