Abstract
Phase-shifted full-bridge topologies are widely used in medium- and high-power DC/DC converters due to their small size and high switching frequency. However, there are few studies on the application of broadband inverters. In the traditional phase-shift full-bridge inverter with a fully resonant load, the problem of current commutation which leads to hard switching is often encountered, to overcome such an issue, an auxiliary current source network is introduced to realize the zero-voltage turn-on of the lagging bridge arm. The working modes of the converter are analyzed in detail, and the parameters of the auxiliary current source network are designed. The simulation verification is carried out by MATLAB/Simulink in a wide frequency range from 10 kHz to 500 kHz. Finally, an experimental circuit board is designed, and the experimental results show that the topology can achieve soft switching in a frequency range from 10 kHz to 200 kHz and has a certain applicability.
