摘要: The present disclosure provides a bidirectional LLC resonant converter and an integrated magnetic component for such a bidirectional LLC resonant converter. In order to increase the power density of such a converter, the I cores of the corresponding conventional converter are removed and the remaining windings (P1, S1, Lr1, Lr2) for the transformer and the series resonant chokes are arranged and connected such that the magnetic fluxes generated in the yokes of the transformer core elements (E3, E4) at least partially compensate each other. In another example, the windings and the core elements of the series resonant chokes are removed as well and the series resonant inductances are implemented by windings air gaps provided between the primary and the secondary windings wound on the transformer core elements.

摘要: In a wireless power transfer arrangement (1) power is wirelessly transferred from a primary side (2) to a secondary side (3) across an airgap (8) by means of a primary resonator (6) that generates a magnetic field (9) and a secondary resonator (10) that receives the power by picking up the magnetic field (9). The secondary side (3) includes an output stage (11) that receives the AC power provided by the secondary resonator (10) and generates a DC output (13) to be provided to a load. A current sensing arrangement (18) senses the AC current flowing from the secondary resonator (10) to the output stage (11) and provides a current sense signal (16) to a power transfer controller (15) that controls the power transfer of the wireless power transfer arrangement (1) based on the current sense signal (16). And the current sense signal (16) is provided to a switching controller (20) that controls the switching of a synchronous rectifier of the output stage (11) that converts the AC power (12) provided by the secondary resonator (10) to the DC output (13).

摘要: An interleaved LLC converter arrangement includes two or more LLC converters for transferring power from an input side to an output side, wherein the two or more LLC converters include a first LLC converter and a second LLC converter connected in parallel on the input side and on the output side and wherein each LLC converter includes a bridge inverter at the input side. For balancing the power transfer among the LLC converters if for example the second LLC converter transfers more power from the input side to the output side than the first LLC converter, each leg of the bridge of the bridge inverter of the first LLC converter is operated with a duty cycle of 0.5 and at least one leg of the bridge of the bridge inverter of the second LLC converter is operated with a duty cycle different from 0.5.

摘要: A passive, current dependent inductivity (1) comprises a magnetic core (2), windings (3) and at least one bank air gap (4). A saturation region (5) made of magnetic material is arranged between the bank air gap (4) and the windings (3). A magnetic flux path (6) bifurcates into a first path (61) passing through the saturation region (5) and into a second path (62) passing through the bank air gap (4) and bypassing the saturation region (5). The magnetic resistance of the first path (61) is lower than the magnetic resistance of the second path (62) for winding currents below a first saturation current (7a) and whereby the magnetic resistance of the second path (62) is lower than the magnetic resistance of the first path (61) for winding currents above the first saturation current (7a) due to saturation of the saturation region.
