Abstract: An apparatus including a bidirectional power converter circuit. The power converter circuit includes a primary circuit side including a plurality of primary switches, an isolation transformer, and a secondary circuit side separated from the primary circuit side by the isolation transformer. The secondary circuit side includes an inductor, a rectifier circuit coupled to the inductor and configured to receive energy from the primary circuit side and provide energy to the primary circuit side, and a clamp circuit coupled to the inductor and configured to provide a reset voltage to the inductor that prevents inductor current runaway.

Abstract: A soft-switching Phase-Shift Full-Bridge (PSFB) converter system may include a transformer comprising a primary side and a secondary side. Phase-leading circuitry and phase-lagging circuitry may be located on the primary side of the transformer. The phase leading a phase lagging circuitry may include one or more bridge switches. The system may further include clamping circuitry coupled to the secondary side of the transformer. The clamping circuitry configurable to, when in an active clamping mode, short the secondary side of the transformer. An inductance may be included on the primary side of the transformer to collect and store energy from an input source when the secondary side of the transformer is shorted. The energy stored in the inductance may be used to enable soft-switching of the bridge switches in the phase-lagging circuitry during a dead time or a circulating time of the bridge switches in the phase-leading circuitry.
