A Dual Half-bridge Three-channel Ultra-wide Gain LLC Resonant Converter and Its Control Strategy
To address the contradiction in traditional LLC resonant converters where a wide switching frequency range in wide voltage applications increases circulating current losses and leads to a decline in overall efficiency
an LLC resonant converter with a dual half-bridge three-channel topology is proposed. This converter employs a hybrid pulse width modulation-pulse frequency modulation (PWM-PFM) control strategy to establish three operating sub-modes: the synchronous dual-channel mode
the asynchronous three-channel bridge rectification mode
and the asynchronous three-channel voltage-doubler rectification mode. These sub-modes cover different gain ranges
enabling an ultra-wide output voltage range. The working principles under each mode and the derivation of gain formulas are analyzed in detail. Finally
an experimental prototype with an output voltage range of 15~150 V and a constant output current of 2 A is designed and built. Experimental results verify the feasibility and effec-tiveness of the proposed converter.
