In a DC/DC converter for producing a DC voltage from a supplied DC voltage with a reversible direction of action, a transformer operating in push-pull on the primary and secondary sides, the respective center taps are connected to a first terminal for the respective DC voltage, and further winding terminals are each connected via a semiconductor switch to a second terminal for the respective DC voltage, the semiconductor switches being controlled synchronously in pairs.

A multiple-phase power converter comprises a non-isolated, double-ended transformer having a plurality of windings, a high-side switch portion, a low-side switch portion, an output portion, and a controller. The high-side switch portion includes a first power switch connecting an input voltage source (VIN) to a virtual phase node through a first winding of the plurality of windings and a second power switch connecting the input voltage source to the virtual phase node through a second winding of the plurality of windings. The first and second windings are arranged with opposite polarity. The low-side switch portion includes a third power switch connecting the virtual phase node to ground through a third winding of the plurality of windings and a fourth power switch connecting the virtual phase node to ground through a fourth winding of the plurality of windings. The third and fourth windings are arranged with opposite polarity. The output portion includes an output inductor connecting the virtual phase node to an output terminal providing an output voltage (VOUT). The controller is adapted to control operations of the first, second, third and fourth power switches such that the first and second power switches are enabled in respective alternating phases. The third switch is disabled when the second switch is enabled so that current flows concurrently through both the second and fourth windings to the output inductor during a first phase, and the fourth switch is disabled when the first switch is enabled so that current flows concurrently through the first and third windings to the output inductor.

An optimal phase-shifted control for a series resonant converter involves instantaneous monitoring of state variables (resonant capacitor voltage resonant inductor current and output voltage) and implementation of a control law for providing a quasi-squarewave-with-maximum-coasting (QSWMC) mode of operation. The control law uses the instantaneous resonant inductor current, the instantaneous resonant capacitor voltage and the output voltage to determine the optimal time to perform switching events in order to operate on a desired control trajectory. The QSWMC converter operates at a minimized frequency in a super-resonant mode with zero-voltage switching, minimized electrical stresses, and reduced electromagnetic interference due to nearly sinusoidal resonant tank currents.
