Journal ArticleDOI
Modeling and Analysis of Coupled Inductors in Power Converters
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors presented a canonical circuit model for N-winding coupled inductors and found that the voltage waveforms driving the leakage inductors are no longer the phase node voltages but are the modified voltages with a frequency N times the original switching frequency.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Modeling and Analysis of Coupled Inductors in Power Converters
TL;DR: In this article, the authors presented a canonical circuit model for N-winding coupled inductors and showed that coupling among windings effectively alters the phase node voltage waveforms driving the coupling inductors.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
LLC performance enhancements with frequency and phase shift modulation control
Brent McDonald,Fan Wang +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, a combination of frequency modulation (FM) and phase shift modulation (PSM) is used to enhance both the controllability and efficiency of an LLC dc-dc converter.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
Digital synchronous rectification controller for llc resonant converters
TL;DR: In this paper, a robust, hardware efficient, mixed-signal control loop that governs the switching actions of the secondary-side synchronous rectifier (SR) switches of LLC resonant converters is presented.
Proceedings ArticleDOI
A novel adaptive synchronous rectification method for digitally controlled LLC converters
TL;DR: In this article, a novel adaptive synchronous rectification method for digitally controlled LLC converters is proposed, which is based on the body diode forward drop to optimize both the SR turn-on and turn-off edges.
