Half-Bridge LLC Resonant Converter Design Using FSFR-Series Fairchild Power Switch (FPSTM)

AN-4151 Half-Bridge LLC Resonant Converter Design Using FSFR-Series Fairchild Power Switch

The effort to obtain ever-increasing power density of switched-mode power supply has been limited by the size of passive components. Operation at higher frequencies considerably reduces the size of passive components, such as transformers and filters; however, switching losses have been an obstacle to high-frequency operation. To reduce switching losses and allow high-frequency operation, reson...

This paper focuses on the power electronics used in the renewable energy systems especially in the photovoltaic applications. In recent years, interest in natural energy has grown in response to increased concern for the environment. Due to the limitations in the energy available from conventional sources, worldwide attention is being focused on renewable sources of energy. Especially, the ener...

Control of Series Resonant Converter with Robust Performance Against Load and Power Circuit Components Uncertainties

Robust performance controller design for duty-cycle controlled series resonant converter (SRC) is proposed in this paper. The uncertainties of the converter are analyzed with load variation and power circuit components tolerances are taken into consideration. Additionally, a nominal performance (NP) controller is designed. Closed-loop system is simulated with Orcad and simulation results of r...

An introduction to LLC resonant half-bridge converter

Although in existence for many years, only recently has the LLC resonant converter, in particular in its half-bridge implementation, gained in the popularity it certainly deserves. In many applications, such as flat panel TVs, 85+ ATX PCs or small form factor PCs, where the requirements on efficiency and power density of their SMPS are getting tougher and tougher, the LLC resonant half-bridge w...
