摘要
In past years, LLC resonant converters have become a mainstream topology for dc-dc power conversion due to their advantages, such as the superior efficiency obtained with the soft switching of MOSFETs. In order to further improve the efficiency of the converter, synchronous rectification (SR) can be implemented as an alternative for diode rectification. As a result, the vast majority of the literature related to this field of study presents different LLC SR control algorithms, which aim to improve the operation of the rectification. Unlike prior work on SR controllers, this paper contributes to the area of power loss estimation using rectifier current equations (RCE). The developed method based on time-domain analysis of SR currents provides a new analytical framework to characterize the behavior of SR. Implications in SR power losses of different time delays are investigated using the developed loss estimation method. In addition, different converter design parameters, such as choice of inductance ratio, can be analyzed. The RCE captures the true discontinuous and complex behavior of SR, which is often oversimplified by the conventional first-harmonic approximation (FHA). As a result, the proposed method facilitates the design of LLC resonant converters and provides increased precision in SR power loss estimation when compared to FHA, and in a considerably faster fashion when compared with precise yet computationally intensive simulation software. This paper is validated with simulation and experimental results.
