<p><span>In isolated type LLC resonant converters, transformer leakage inductances can be merged with the resonant inductor to extend the ZVS capability of the switches apart from isolation and voltage scaling. However, the transformer presents a resonant imbalance in the secondary side leading to secondary current unbalance, an increase in RMS value of the secondary current and increase thermal stress. This paper proposed a half-bridge non-isolated LLC resonant converter with a balanced rectifying current and stress in the rectifier diodes. The proposed converter can achieve the most advantages of isolated LLC converters, such as ZVS and low MOSFET turn-off loss. By the non-isolation method, secondary current and, transformer loss is significantly reduced. In addition, rectifier diodes operate with zero current switching and balanced rectifying current and stress over the entire operating range. The proposed non-isolated structure is verified by the experimental result with a 60W LLC resonant converter. </span></p>

In this study, a light emitting diode (LED) driver containing an integrated transformer with adjustable leakage inductance in a high-frequency isolated LLC resonant converter was proposed as an LED lighting power converter. The primary- and secondary-side topological structures were analyzed from the perspectives of component loss and component stress, and a full-bridge structure was selected for both the primary- and secondary-side circuit architecture of the LLC resonant converter. Additionally, to achieve high power density and high efficiency, adjustable leakage inductance was achieved through an additional reluctance length, and the added resonant inductor was replaced with the transformer leakage inductance without increasing the amount of loss caused by the proximity effect. To optimize the transformer, the number of primary- and secondary-side windings that resulted in the lowest core loss and copper loss was selected, and the feasibility of the new core design was verified using ANSYS Maxwell software. Finally, this paper proposes an integrated transformer without any additional resonant inductor in the LLC resonant converter. Transformer loss is optimized by adjusting parameters of the core structure and the winding arrangement. An LLC resonant converter with a 400 V input voltage, 300 V output voltage, 1 kW output power, and 500 kHz switching frequency was created, and a maximum efficiency of 97.03% was achieved. The component with the highest temperature was the transformer winding, which reached 78.6 °C at full load.

High-voltage DC power supplies are used in several applications, including X-ray, plasma, electrostatic precipitator, and capacitor charging. However, such a high-voltage power supply has problems, such as a decrease in reliability, owing to an increase in output ripple voltage, and a decrease in power density, owing to an increase in volume. Therefore, this study proposes a method for improving the power density of a parallel resonant converter using the parasitic capacitor of the secondary side of the transformer. Due to the fact that high-voltage power supplies have many turns on the secondary side, a significant number of parasitic capacitors are generated. In addition, in the case of a parallel resonant converter, because the transformer and the primary resonant capacitor are connected in parallel, the parasitic capacitor component generated on the secondary side of the transformer can be equalized and used. A parallel cap-less resonant converter structure developed using the parasitic components of such transformers is proposed. Primary side and secondary side equivalent model analyses are conducted in order to derive new equations and gain waveforms. Finally, the validity of the proposed structure is verified experimentally.

This paper presents a tightly regulated multi-output isolated converter that employs only an independently regulated synchronous Single-Switched Post-Regulator (SSPR). The proposed converter is a highly accurate single-ended secondary side post-regulator based on a Series Resonant Converter (SRC); furthermore, it has a voltage-doubler characteristic. The proposed post-regulator requires only one auxiliary switch, in contrast with a bulky and expensive non-isolated DC–DC converter. Moreover, the added voltage-doubler can tightly regulate the slave output current. In addition, the voltage-doubler can improve electromagnetic interference characteristics and reduce switching losses arising from the Zero Current Switching (ZCS) operation of all power switches. The validity of the proposed converter is verified using experimental results obtained via a prototype converter applicable to an LED 3D TV power supply.
