摘要：Half Bridge (HB) DC–DC converter is an attractive topology for middle power level applications owing to its simplicity. This paper presents a new control scheme, to be known as duty-cycle shifted PWM (DCS PWM) control, is proposed and applied to the conventional HB dc–dc converters to achieve ZVS for one of the two switches without adding extra components and without adding asymmetric penalties of the complementary control. The concept of this new control scheme is shifting one of the two symmetric PWM driving signals close to the other, such that ZVS may be achieved for the lagging switch due to the shortened resonant interval. Moreover, based on the DCS PWM control, an active clamp branch comprising an auxiliary switch and a diode is added across the isolation transformer primary winding in the half bridge converter to achieve ZVS for the other main switch by utilizing energy stored in the transformer leakage inductance. Moreover, the auxiliary switch also operates at ZVS and ZCS conditions. In addition, the proposed topology with DCS PWM control eliminates the ringing resulting from the oscillation between the transformer leakage inductance and the switches junction capacitances during the off-time period. Therefore, the proposed converter has a potential to operate at higher efficiencies and switching frequencies.
