This paper presents a comparison study of three isolated DC/DC circuit topologies, LLC resonant circuit, phase shift bridge circuit and phase shift quasi switched capacitor (QSC) circuit. The device stress of three circuits is compared using total switching device power (SDP) which can be used as an indicator of circuit efficiency, device cooling requirement, device packaging requirement and cost...
Wide bandgap devices (WBGs) allow Power Factor Correction (PFC) circuits to operate at MHz frequency which leads to a better power density. Compared with kHz operation, MHz PFC in critical conduction mode (CrM) yields larger inductor valley current during the switch soft turn-on. Moreover, the input current distortion near grid voltage zero crossing has not been taken into account in the traditional...
Gallium Nitride (GaN) power devices become commercially available in recent years and they have demonstrated great potential in DC power supply applications. In this paper, the device loss of three GaN device based isolated DC/DC circuits, LLC circuit, dual active bridge (DAB) circuit and phase shift quasi switched capacitor (QSC) circuit, is investigated and compared using telecom power supply application...
This paper presents the study on the semiconductor-based galvanic isolation. This solution delivers the differential-mode (DM) power via semiconductor power switches during their on states, while sustaining the common-mode (CM) voltage and blocking the CM leakage current with those switches during their off states. While it is impractical to implement this solution with Si devices, the latest SiC...
The Quasi-Switched-Capacitor (QSC) resonant converter has been proposed to serve as the isolated dc/dc stage of ac/dc power adapters for portable electronics. Compared to Flyback and LLC resonant converters, its features include: 1) the voltage stress on the primary-side switches is reduced to 2/3 of the input voltage, which is friendlier to low-voltage switches whose figure of merits is generally...
This work presents a switched-capacitor (SC) DC-DC voltage regulator that converts a 3.7V battery voltage down to ∼0.8V in order to power the ‘brain’ SoC of a flapping-wing microrobotic bee. A cascade of two 2:1 SC converters offers high efficiency for a 4:1 conversion ratio. A charge recycling technique reduces the flying capacitor's bottom-plate parasitic loss by 50% and overall conversion efficiency...
