A Design Methodology for a High Power Density, Voltage Boost, Resonant DC-DC converter

Gafford, James Robert 06 August 2005 (has links)
A full-bridge, parallel-loaded, resonant, zero current/zero voltage switching converter has been developed for DC-DC voltage transformation. The power supply was used to condition power sourced by a 28-V, 400-A Neihoff alternator installed in a HMMWV that delivered power to a 5-kW mobile radar. This design focuses on achieving maximum power density at reasonable efficiency (i.e. > 80%) by operating at the highest resonant and switching frequencies possible. A resonant frequency of 392-kHz was achieved while providing rated power. The high resonant frequency was facilitated by the development of an extremely low inductance layout (< 20 nH) capable of conducting the high resonant currents associated with this converter topology. A design methodology is presented for parallel-loaded, resonant voltage boost converters utilizing the development of a converter prototype as a basis. The experimental results are presented as validation of the methodology.
