摘要： Methods and circuits for balancing current in a transformer are disclosed herein. An embodiment of the method includes sensing the magnitude and direction of current flow through the primary side of the transformer. The magnitude of current flowing in a first direction is compared to the magnitude of current flowing in a second direction through the primary side of the transformer. An AC signal driving the primary side of the transformer is adjusted so that the current flow in the first direction is substantially the same as current flow in the second direction.

摘要： Disclosed is a family of new DC/DC converters and a new control method. The converter comprises two bridge inverters, two full-wave rectification circuits and a current-doubler filter. Each inverter is able to generate a symmetrical and isolated AC output voltage. Phase-shift control is employed to control the phase difference between the two bridge inverters. By shifting the phase, the converter changes the two inverters' output voltage overlapping area to regulate its output voltage. The bridge inverters always operate at 50% duty cycle, like an open loop Bus Converter, to achieve wide-range zero voltage switching and eliminate circulating current for normal operation. For low output voltage regulation and soft start, Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) control is used. The converters and the control method improve power conversion efficiency, maximize magnetic component utilization, reduce semiconductor stress and decrease EMI emission.
