A robust circuit design using matching technology to design the ultrasonic welding transducer driver with zero voltage switching is proposed. The feedback output voltage is used to control the oscillator frequency to achieve the self-tracking function. Experimental results exhibit that the Class-E inverter circuit can be effectively and stably applied on the high power ultrasonic welding system.

This paper presents a technique to control the output voltage of a series-parallel (SP) topology inductive power transfer (IPT) system using only a controller, located on the primary side. This reduces the cost, size, complexity and loss of the system compared to conventional IPT dual-side controllers. An asymmetrical duty cycle control (ADC) of full-bridge inverters was used to control the DC output voltage to its designed value. Additionally, a zero voltage switching (ZVS) operation can be obtained at all power levels by varying the switching frequency of the inverter. Theoretical analysis was performed through a mutual inductance coupling model and verified by computer simulation. Experimental results of the circular magnetic structure IPT system with an adjustable air-gap confirm the validity of the proposed controller. The system efficiency was improved throughout the operation and the improvement became obvious as the output power was decreased.
