Description
本發明係有關於一種諧振切換式電源轉換器,特定而言係有關於一種充電或放電持續時間與充電或放電諧振頻率相關之諧振切換式電源轉換器。The present invention relates to a resonant switching power converter, and in particular to a resonant switching power converter in which the charging or discharging duration is related to the resonant frequency of the charging or discharging.
圖1係顯示習知的電源轉換器。於充電操作中,開關Q1、Q3、Q5、Q8、Q9係導通,開關Q2、Q4、Q6、Q7、Q10係不導通,使得電容C1串聯電感L1於輸入電壓VIN及輸出電壓VOUT之間,且電容C2串聯電容C3及電感L2於接地電位及輸出電壓VOUT之間。於放電操作中,開關Q2、Q4、Q6、Q7、Q10係導通,開關Q1、Q3、Q5、Q8、Q9係不導通,使得電感L1串聯電容C1、電容C2於接地電位及輸出電壓VOUT之間,且電感L2串聯電容C3於接地電位及輸出電壓VOUT之間。此習知的電源轉換器之電容需要耐較高的額定電壓,例如電容C1的直流偏壓是輸出電壓的3倍Vc1=3VOUT、電容C2的直流偏壓是輸出電壓的2倍Vc2=2VOUT、電容C3的直流偏壓與輸出電壓相當Vc3=VOUT,因為電容之直流偏壓相對較高,故此習知電源轉換器需要使用具有較大體積的電容。此外,電容的容值通常會隨著直流偏壓的上升而降低,當輸入電壓的範圍是在36V及76V之間時,電容C1的直流偏壓範圍會是在27V及57V之間,由於直流偏壓的變化範圍較廣,故此習知電源轉換器之電容值變化相當大,其諧振頻率也會隨著電容的變化而改變。如此會造成較大的切換電源損耗並且需要複雜的控制來改變電源轉換效率。再者,此習知電源轉換器之輸入電壓VIN與輸出電壓VOUT之電壓轉換比率僅可為4:1或2:1,並無法進行3:1的電壓轉換比率。Figure 1 shows a conventional power converter. During the charging operation, the switches Q1, Q3, Q5, Q8, and Q9 are turned on, and the switches Q2, Q4, Q6, Q7, and Q10 are not turned on, so that the capacitor C1 is connected in series with the inductor L1 between the input voltage VIN and the output voltage VOUT, and The capacitor C2 is connected in series with the capacitor C3 and the inductor L2 between the ground potential and the output voltage VOUT. In the discharging operation, the switches Q2, Q4, Q6, Q7, Q10 are turned on, and the switches Q1, Q3, Q5, Q8, Q9 are not turned on, so that the inductor L1 is connected in series with the capacitor C1 and the capacitor C2 between the ground potential and the output voltage VOUT , And the inductor L2 is connected in series with the capacitor C3 between the ground potential and the output voltage VOUT. The capacitor of this conventional power converter needs to withstand a higher rated voltage. For example, the DC bias of the capacitor C1 is 3 times the output voltage Vc1=3VOUT, and the DC bias of the capacitor C2 is 2 times the output voltage Vc2=2VOUT, The DC bias voltage of the capacitor C3 is equivalent to the output voltage Vc3=VOUT. Because the DC bias voltage of the capacitor is relatively high, the conventional power converter needs to use a capacitor with a larger volume. In addition, the capacitance of the capacitor usually decreases with the increase of the DC bias voltage. When the input voltage range is between 36V and 76V, the DC bias voltage range of the capacitor C1 will be between 27V and 57V. The bias voltage has a wide variation range. Therefore, the capacitance value of the conventional power converter varies greatly, and its resonant frequency also changes with the variation of the capacitance. This will cause a large switching power loss and require complex control to change the power conversion efficiency. Furthermore, the voltage conversion ratio between the input voltage VIN and the output voltage VOUT of the conventional power converter can only be 4:1 or 2:1, and a 3:1 voltage conversion ratio cannot be performed.

圖2A係根據本發明之一實施例顯示一諧振切換式電源轉換器之電路示意圖;圖2B顯示圖2A所示之諧振切換式電源轉換器中,相關訊號之訊號波形示意圖。本實施例係多個電容共用一充電電感或一放電電感,藉此無論電容數量為多少,都只需要一個充電電感及一個放電電感,可進一步減少電感的數量。如圖2A所示,本發明之諧振切換式電源轉換器20包含電容C1、C2、C3、開關Q1、Q2、Q3、Q4、Q5、Q6、Q7、Q8、Q9、Q10、充電電感L1、放電電感L2。開關Q1-Q3分別與對應之電容C1-C3串聯,而開關Q4與充電電感L1串聯。應注意者為,本發明之諧振切換式電源轉換器中的電容數量並不限於本實施例的三個,亦可為二個或四個以上,本實施例所顯示之元件數量僅用以說明本發明並不用限制本發明。2A is a schematic diagram showing a circuit of a resonant switching power converter according to an embodiment of the present invention; FIG. 2B is a schematic diagram showing signal waveforms of related signals in the resonant switching power converter shown in FIG. 2A. In this embodiment, multiple capacitors share one charging inductance or one discharging inductance, so that no matter how many capacitors there are, only one charging inductance and one discharging inductance are needed, which can further reduce the number of inductances. As shown in FIG. 2A, the resonant
如圖2A所示,開關Q5之一端耦接至開關Q1與電容C1之間的節點,開關Q6之一端耦接至開關Q2與電容C2之間的節點,而開關Q7之一端耦接至開關Q3與電容C3之間的節點。開關Q8之一端耦接至電容C1與開關Q2之間的節點,開關Q9之一端耦接至電容C2與開關Q3之間的節點,而開關Q10之一端耦接至電容C3與開關Q4之間的節點。如圖2A所示,開關Q5-Q7之另一端共同電連接至一節點後,串聯至放電電感L2。開關Q8-Q10之另一端係共同耦接至接地電位。充電電感L1及放電電感L2的另一端係共同耦接至輸出電壓Vout,開關Q1之另一端耦接至輸入電壓Vin。As shown in FIG. 2A, one end of the switch Q5 is coupled to the node between the switch Q1 and the capacitor C1, one end of the switch Q6 is coupled to the node between the switch Q2 and the capacitor C2, and one end of the switch Q7 is coupled to the switch Q3 The node between and capacitor C3. One end of the switch Q8 is coupled to the node between the capacitor C1 and the switch Q2, one end of the switch Q9 is coupled to the node between the capacitor C2 and the switch Q3, and one end of the switch Q10 is coupled to the node between the capacitor C3 and the switch Q4 node. As shown in FIG. 2A, after the other ends of the switches Q5-Q7 are electrically connected to a node, they are connected in series to the discharge inductor L2. The other ends of the switches Q8-Q10 are commonly coupled to the ground potential. The other ends of the charging inductor L1 and the discharging inductor L2 are commonly coupled to the output voltage Vout, and the other end of the switch Q1 is coupled to the input voltage Vin.
開關Q1-Q10可根據對應之操作訊號,切換所對應之電容C1-C3與充電電感L1及放電電感L2之電連接關係。在一充電程序中,開關Q1-Q4係為導通,開關Q5-Q10係為不導通,使得電容C1-C3彼此串聯後與充電電感L1串聯於輸入電壓Vin與輸出電壓Vout之間,以形成一充電路徑。在一放電程序中,開關Q5-Q10係導通,開關Q1-Q4係不導通,使電容C1、電容C2及電容C3彼此並聯後串聯放電電感L2,而形成複數放電路徑。應注意者為,上述充電程序與上述放電程序係於不同的時間段重複地交錯進行,而非同時進行。在一種較佳的實施例中,該充電程序的持續時間與該放電程序的持續時間彼此不重疊。其中,充電程序與放電程序彼此重複地交錯排序,以將輸入電壓Vin轉換為輸出電壓Vout。於本實施例中,每個第一電容C1、C2、C3的直流偏壓均為Vo,故本實施例中的第一電容C1、C2、C3相對於先前技術,在相同的輸入電壓與輸出電壓的應用中,僅需要承受較低的額定電壓,故可使用較小體積的電容器。The switches Q1-Q10 can switch the electrical connection relationship between the corresponding capacitors C1-C3 and the charging inductor L1 and the discharging inductor L2 according to the corresponding operation signal. In a charging procedure, the switches Q1-Q4 are turned on and the switches Q5-Q10 are not turned on, so that the capacitors C1-C3 are connected in series with the charging inductor L1 in series between the input voltage Vin and the output voltage Vout to form a Charging path. In a discharge process, the switches Q5-Q10 are turned on, and the switches Q1-Q4 are not turned on. The capacitor C1, the capacitor C2, and the capacitor C3 are connected in parallel to each other and the inductor L2 is discharged in series to form a plurality of discharge paths. It should be noted that the above-mentioned charging process and the above-mentioned discharging process are repeatedly and staggered at different time periods, rather than being performed at the same time. In a preferred embodiment, the duration of the charging process and the duration of the discharging process do not overlap with each other. Wherein, the charging process and the discharging process are alternately sequenced repeatedly to convert the input voltage Vin into the output voltage Vout. In this embodiment, the DC bias voltage of each of the first capacitors C1, C2, C3 is Vo. Therefore, the first capacitors C1, C2, C3 in this embodiment have the same input voltage and output voltage compared to the prior art. In the application of voltage, only a lower rated voltage is required, so a smaller volume capacitor can be used.
於一實施例中,上述充電程序之充電諧振頻率與上述放電程序之放電諧振頻率相同。於一實施例中,上述充電程序之充電諧振頻率與上述放電程序之放電諧振頻率不同。於一實施例中,上述諧振切換式電源轉換器20可為雙向諧振切換式電源轉換器。所謂雙向諧振切換式電源轉換器,係指輸入端(提供輸入電壓Vin)與輸出端(提供輸出電壓Vout)的角色對調,意即在如圖2A所示的實施例中,諧振切換式電源轉換器20可將輸出電壓Vout轉換為輸入電壓Vin。於一實施例中,上述諧振切換式電源轉換器20之輸入電壓Vin與輸出電壓Vout之電壓轉換比率可為4:1、3:1或2:1。In one embodiment, the resonant frequency of charging in the charging process is the same as the resonant frequency of discharging in the discharging process. In one embodiment, the resonant frequency of charging in the charging process is different from the resonant frequency of discharging in the discharging process. In one embodiment, the above-mentioned resonant
於一實施例中,上述充電程序的持續時間(Ton1)係與上述充電程序之充電諧振頻率(fr1)相關。於一較佳實施例中,上述充電程序的持續時間(Ton1)係與充電程序之充電諧振電流之正半波相關,例如開關Q1-Q4之導通時點及不導通時點係大致上同步於充電程序之一充電諧振電流之正半波之起始時點及結束時點。於一實施例中,上述放電程序的持續時間(Ton2)係與上述放電程序之放電諧振頻率(fr2)相關。於一較佳實施例中,上述放電程序的持續時間(Ton2)係與放電程序之放電諧振電流之正半波相關,例如開關Q5-Q10之導通時點及不導通時點係大致上同步於放電程序之一放電諧振電流之正半波之起始時點及結束時點。In one embodiment, the duration of the charging process (Ton1) is related to the resonant frequency (fr1) of the charging process. In a preferred embodiment, the duration of the charging process (Ton1) is related to the positive half-wave of the charging resonant current of the charging process. For example, the conduction time and non-conduction time of the switches Q1-Q4 are substantially synchronized with the charging process. One of the starting and ending points of the positive half-wave of the resonant charging current. In one embodiment, the duration (Ton2) of the above-mentioned discharge process is related to the discharge resonance frequency (fr2) of the above-mentioned discharge process. In a preferred embodiment, the duration of the discharge process (Ton2) is related to the positive half-wave of the discharge resonant current of the discharge process. For example, the conduction time and non-conduction time point of the switches Q5-Q10 are substantially synchronized with the discharge process. One is the starting point and ending point of the positive half wave of the discharge resonant current.
於上述充電程序之充電諧振頻率(fr1)等於上述放電程序之放電諧振頻率(fr2)的實施例中,當上述充電程序的持續時間(Ton1)等於上述放電程序的持續時間(Ton2)時,例如大致上等於百分之五十之工作週期時,藉此可於流經開關的電流皆在其正半波相對較低位準的時點切換,以達成柔性切換。在一種較佳的實施例中,可達到零電流切換(zero current switch, ZCS)。In the embodiment in which the charging resonance frequency (fr1) of the charging procedure is equal to the discharging resonance frequency (fr2) of the discharging procedure, when the duration of the charging procedure (Ton1) is equal to the duration of the discharging procedure (Ton2), for example When the duty cycle is roughly equal to 50%, the current flowing through the switch can be switched at a relatively low level of the positive half-wave, so as to achieve flexible switching. In a preferred embodiment, zero current switch (ZCS) can be achieved.
此外需說明的是:因電路零件的本身之寄生效應或是零件間相互的匹配不一定為理想,因此,雖然欲使充電程序的持續時間等於放電程序的持續時間(也就是於此實施例中充電程序的持續時間為百分之五十之工作週期),以達到柔性切換(soft switching)之零電流切換。但實際可能並無法準確地為百分之五十之工作週期,而僅是接近百分之五十之工作週期,亦即,根據本發明,可接受由於電路的不理想性而使充電程序的持續時間與百分之五十之工作週期間具有一定程度的誤差,此即前述之放電至「大致上」為百分之五十之工作週期之意,本文中其他提到「大致上」之處亦同。In addition, it should be noted that the parasitic effects of the circuit components or the matching between the components are not necessarily ideal. Therefore, although it is desired to make the duration of the charging procedure equal to the duration of the discharging procedure (that is, in this embodiment) The duration of the charging procedure is 50% of the duty cycle) to achieve zero current switching of soft switching. However, in reality, it may not be exactly 50% of the duty cycle, but only close to the 50% duty cycle. That is, according to the present invention, the charging process can be accepted due to the imperfectness of the circuit. There is a certain degree of error between the duration and 50% of the work cycle. This means that the aforementioned discharge to "approximately" means 50% of the work cycle. Other references to "approximately" in this article Same place.
於一實施例中,上述充電程序的持續時間小於特定比例之工作週期一段預設期間,例如小於百分之五十之工作週期一段預設期間;藉此提前不導通開關Q1-Q4後仍維持有微小的電流,流經充電電感L1,因此,即可將開關Q10中,儲存於其中之寄生電容的累積電荷透過開關Q4之寄生二極體帶走,而降低開關Q10的跨壓,以達到柔性切換。在一種較佳的實施例中,調整預設期間,而達到零電壓切換(zero voltage switch,ZVS)。於一實施例中,相對地,上述放電程序的持續時間大於特定比例之工作週期一段預設期間,例如大於百分之五十之工作週期一段預設期間;藉此,延後不導通開關Q5-Q10後放電電感L2的負電流會通過開關Q5的寄生二極體而對開關Q1的寄生電容進行充電,而降低開關Q1的跨壓,以達到柔性切換。在一種較佳的實施例中,調整預設期間,而達到零電壓切換。In one embodiment, the duration of the above-mentioned charging process is less than a specific ratio of the duty cycle for a predetermined period, for example, less than 50% of the duty cycle for a predetermined period; thereby, the switch Q1-Q4 is not turned on in advance. There is a tiny current flowing through the charging inductor L1. Therefore, the accumulated charge of the parasitic capacitance stored in the switch Q10 can be taken away through the parasitic diode of the switch Q4, and the cross voltage of the switch Q10 can be reduced to achieve Flexible switching. In a preferred embodiment, the preset period is adjusted to achieve zero voltage switch (ZVS). In one embodiment, relatively, the duration of the above-mentioned discharge process is greater than a specific proportion of the duty cycle for a predetermined period, for example, a duty cycle greater than 50% for a predetermined period; thereby, the non-conduction switch Q5 is delayed. -After Q10, the negative current of the discharge inductor L2 will charge the parasitic capacitance of the switch Q1 through the parasitic diode of the switch Q5, and reduce the cross voltage of the switch Q1 to achieve flexible switching. In a preferred embodiment, the preset period is adjusted to achieve zero voltage switching.

The output voltage Vout, output current Io, charging resonant current IL1, discharging resonant current IL2, capacitor C1 DC bias voltage Vc1, capacitor C1 current Ic1, switch Q7 current IS7, and switch Q9 current IS9 are shown in FIG. 2B. In this embodiment, the resonant frequency of charging is equal to the resonant frequency of discharging, and the duration of the charging process and the duration of the discharging process are approximately 50% of the duty cycle.
於另一實施例中,當L1的電感值等於L2的電感值時,且假設
C1=
C2=
C3=
Cr,式(1)及式(2)可改寫為如下所示:
由上式中可理解到,當L1的電感值等於L2的電感值時,充電諧振頻率與放電諧振頻率是不相等的,在此條件下,若欲達成零電流切換,則持續時間(Ton1)及持續時間(Ton2)需各自對應設置為充電諧振頻率(fr1)及充電諧振頻率(fr2)的半週期,如下式所示:
若欲達成零電流切換,綜合以上公式可知,持續時間(Ton1)及持續時間(Ton2)需符合下式的關係:

In another embodiment, when the inductance value of L1 is equal to the inductance value of L2, and assuming that
亦即當L1的電感值等於L2的電感值時,放電程序之持續時間(Ton2)需設置為充電程序之持續時間(Ton1)的3倍,亦即,充電程序之持續時間(Ton1)大致上等於百分之二十五之工作週期,放電程序之持續時間(Ton2)大致上等於百分之七十五之工作週期,仍可達成前述之零電流切換。That is, when the inductance value of L1 is equal to the inductance value of L2, the duration of the discharging process (Ton2) needs to be set to 3 times the duration of the charging process (Ton1), that is, the duration of the charging process (Ton1) is roughly Equal to 25% of the duty cycle, the duration of the discharge process (Ton2) is roughly equal to 75% of the duty cycle, and the aforementioned zero current switching can still be achieved.
值得注意的是,L1的電感值等於L2的電感值的一個特例是,充電電感L1與放電電感L2可共用同一個電感,分別於不同時間作用為充電電感、放電電感。It is worth noting that a special case where the inductance value of L1 is equal to the inductance value of L2 is that the charging inductance L1 and the discharging inductance L2 can share the same inductance, and act as the charging inductance and the discharging inductance at different times.
因此,請參照圖3,其為根據本發明之另一實施例顯示一諧振切換式電源轉換器之電路示意圖。本實施例中,充電電感與放電電感可為同一個電感L1,如此之設置可更進一步地減少電感的數量。如圖3所示,本發明之諧振切換式電源轉換器30包含電容C1、C2、C3、開關Q1、Q2、Q3、Q4、Q5、Q6、Q7、Q8、Q9、Q10、電感L1。開關Q1-Q3分別與對應之電容C1-C3串聯,而開關Q4與電感L1串聯。應注意者為,本發明之諧振切換式電源轉換器中的電容數量並不限於本實施例的三個,亦可為二個或四個以上,本實施例所顯示之元件數量僅用以說明本發明並不用限制本發明。Therefore, please refer to FIG. 3, which is a circuit diagram of a resonant switching power converter according to another embodiment of the present invention. In this embodiment, the charging inductance and the discharging inductance can be the same inductance L1, and this configuration can further reduce the number of inductances. As shown in FIG. 3, the resonant
須說明的是,在本實施例中,充電電感與放電電感為單一個相同的電感L1,在放電程序中,藉由開關Q1-Q10的切換,使電容C1-C3彼此並聯後串聯單一個相同電感L1。所謂充電電感與放電電感為單一個相同的電感L1,係指在充電程序與放電程序中,充電諧振電流IL1與放電諧振電流IL2分別僅流經單一個電感L1,而未再流經其他電感元件。It should be noted that in this embodiment, the charging inductance and the discharging inductance are the same inductance L1. In the discharging process, the capacitors C1-C3 are connected in parallel and connected in series by switching the switches Q1-Q10. Inductance L1. The so-called charging inductance and discharging inductance are the same inductance L1, which means that in the charging process and the discharging process, the charging resonant current IL1 and the discharging resonant current IL2 respectively only flow through a single inductor L1, and no other inductive components. .
如圖3所示,開關Q5之一端耦接至開關Q1與電容C1之間的節點,開關Q6之一端耦接至開關Q2與電容C2之間的節點,而開關Q7之一端耦接至開關Q3與電容C3之間的節點。開關Q8之一端耦接至電容C1與開關Q2之間的節點,開關Q9之一端耦接至電容C2與開關Q3之間的節點,而開關Q10之一端耦接至電容C3與開關Q4之間的節點。如圖3所示,開關Q5-Q7之另一端共同電連接至一節點後,耦接至開關Q4與電感L1之間的節點,開關Q8-Q10之另一端係共同耦接至接地電位。電感L1的另一端係耦接至輸出電壓Vout,開關Q1之另一端耦接至輸入電壓Vin。As shown in FIG. 3, one end of the switch Q5 is coupled to the node between the switch Q1 and the capacitor C1, one end of the switch Q6 is coupled to the node between the switch Q2 and the capacitor C2, and one end of the switch Q7 is coupled to the switch Q3 The node between and capacitor C3. One end of the switch Q8 is coupled to the node between the capacitor C1 and the switch Q2, one end of the switch Q9 is coupled to the node between the capacitor C2 and the switch Q3, and one end of the switch Q10 is coupled to the node between the capacitor C3 and the switch Q4 node. As shown in FIG. 3, after the other ends of the switches Q5-Q7 are commonly electrically connected to a node, they are coupled to the node between the switch Q4 and the inductor L1, and the other ends of the switches Q8-Q10 are commonly coupled to the ground potential. The other end of the inductor L1 is coupled to the output voltage Vout, and the other end of the switch Q1 is coupled to the input voltage Vin.
開關Q1-Q10可根據對應之操作訊號,切換所對應之電容C1-C3與電感L1之電連接關係。在一充電程序中,開關Q1-Q4係為導通,開關Q5-Q10係為不導通,使得電容C1-C3彼此串聯後與電感L1串聯於輸入電壓Vin與輸出電壓Vout之間,以形成一充電路徑。在一放電程序中,開關Q5-Q10係導通,開關Q1-Q4係不導通,使電容C1、電容C2及電容C3彼此並聯後串聯電感L1,而形成複數放電路徑。應注意者為,上述充電程序與上述放電程序係於不同的時間段重複地交錯進行,而非同時進行。於本實施例中,每個第一電容C1、C2、C3的直流偏壓均為Vo,故本實施例中的第一電容C1、C2、C3需要耐較低的額定電壓,故可使用較小體積的電容器。The switches Q1-Q10 can switch the electrical connection relationship between the corresponding capacitor C1-C3 and the inductor L1 according to the corresponding operation signal. In a charging process, the switches Q1-Q4 are turned on, and the switches Q5-Q10 are not turned on, so that the capacitors C1-C3 are connected in series with each other and then connected in series with the inductor L1 between the input voltage Vin and the output voltage Vout to form a charge path. In a discharge procedure, the switches Q5-Q10 are turned on, and the switches Q1-Q4 are not turned on. The capacitor C1, the capacitor C2, and the capacitor C3 are connected in parallel to each other and then the inductor L1 is connected in series to form a complex discharge path. It should be noted that the above-mentioned charging process and the above-mentioned discharging process are repeatedly and staggered at different time periods, rather than being performed at the same time. In this embodiment, the DC bias voltage of each of the first capacitors C1, C2, C3 is Vo. Therefore, the first capacitors C1, C2, C3 in this embodiment need to withstand lower rated voltages, so they can be used. Small size capacitor.
在充電電感與放電電感設置為單一個相同的電感L1的本實施例中,根據前述公式而適當配置上述充電程序的持續時間(Ton1)及放電程序的持續時間(Ton2)的比例,可達到柔性切換之零電流切換。具體而言,於一實施例中,上述充電程序的持續時間例如大致上等於百分之二十五之工作週期;藉此,開關可於流經開關的電流在其正半波相對較低位準的時點切換,以達成柔性切換。在一種較佳的實施例中,可達到零電流切換(zero current switch, ZCS)。於一實施例中,上述充電程序的持續時間小於特定比例之工作週期一段預設期間,例如小於百分之二十五之工作週期一段預設期間;藉此提前不導通開關Q1-Q4後仍維持有微小的電流,流經充電電感L1,因此,即可將開關Q10中,儲存於其中之寄生電容的累積電荷通過開關Q4之寄生二極體帶走,而降低開關Q10的跨壓,以達到柔性切換。在一種較佳的實施例中,調整預設期間,而達到零電壓切換(zero voltage switch,ZVS)。於一實施例中,相對地,上述放電程序的持續時間大於特定比例之工作週期一段預設期間,例如大於百分之七十五之工作週期一段預設期間;藉此,延後不導通開關Q5-Q10後放電電感L2的負電流會通過開關Q5的寄生二極體而對開關Q1的寄生電容進行充電,而降低開關Q1的跨壓,以達到柔性切換。在一種較佳的實施例中,調整預設期間,而達到零電壓切換(zero voltage switch,ZVS)。In this embodiment in which the charging inductance and the discharging inductance are set to a single same inductance L1, the ratio of the duration of the charging procedure (Ton1) and the duration of the discharging procedure (Ton2) can be appropriately configured according to the aforementioned formula to achieve flexibility. Zero current switching of switching. Specifically, in one embodiment, the duration of the above-mentioned charging procedure is, for example, approximately equal to 25% of the duty cycle; thereby, the switch can be used when the current flowing through the switch is relatively low in its positive half-wave. Switch on time to achieve flexible switching. In a preferred embodiment, zero current switch (ZCS) can be achieved. In one embodiment, the duration of the charging process is less than a specific ratio of the duty cycle for a predetermined period, for example, less than 25% of the duty cycle for a preset period; thereby, the switch Q1-Q4 is not turned on in advance. A small current is maintained and flows through the charging inductor L1. Therefore, the accumulated charge of the parasitic capacitance stored in the switch Q10 can be taken away through the parasitic diode of the switch Q4, and the cross voltage of the switch Q10 can be reduced. Achieve flexible switching. In a preferred embodiment, the preset period is adjusted to achieve zero voltage switch (ZVS). In one embodiment, relatively, the duration of the above-mentioned discharge process is greater than a specific proportion of the duty cycle for a predetermined period, for example, a duty cycle greater than 75% for a predetermined period; thereby, the non-conduction switch is delayed. After Q5-Q10, the negative current of the discharge inductor L2 will charge the parasitic capacitance of the switch Q1 through the parasitic diode of the switch Q5, and reduce the cross voltage of the switch Q1 to achieve flexible switching. In a preferred embodiment, the preset period is adjusted to achieve zero voltage switch (ZVS).
