In this paper, a novel MEMS based LLC converter is proposed for on chip power supplies. The design is optimized based on commercially available Metal MUMPs process for fabrication. The resonant frequency is optimized at 20MHz and MEMS based variable capacitor is fabricated on the chip to tune the peak resonance frequency of circuit which varies due to the load variations. The Design is simulated in FEM based numerical software COMSOL and Intellisuite. According to analysis the magnetizing inductance of 42nH and leakage inductance of 40nH has been achieved from 16 mm2 rectangular coil transformer. The total capacitance of 1500pF has been achieved from parallel plate capacitors and variation of 3pF has been achieved from variable capacitor.

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.

Inductive Power

In order to compensate the large leakage inductance and improve the power transmission capacity, capacitors are widely used in inductive power transfer (IPT) systems, which results in high voltage or current stresses in the resonant tanks and limits higher volt-ampere (VA) rating of the transfer power, especially in medium and low frequency applications. This paper presents a symmetrical half-bridge resonant converter (SHRC) for series-series/series compensated IPT systems with detailed analysis and design. It operates at a relatively low frequency of 12.5 kHz, suitable for IGBT applications. The theoretical analysis shows that, compared with full-bridge resonant converter (FRC) for IPT, the symmetrical half-bridge resonant converter achieves a higher efficiency. Simulation and a prototype of 1500 W power output were built to verify the theoretical analysis. The experimental results show that the power loss of SHRC is 39.7 W while that of FRC is 79.4 W, which is consistent with the theoretical analysis. The global efficiency of the IPT based on the proposed converter is 91.6%.

This paper presents a novel application of full-bridge series parallel resonant converter (FBSPRC) for dc source and secondary battery interface. Secondary batteries has been widely used in the application of residential, industrial and commercial energy storage systems because of its low energy conversion loss, which enhances the systems overall efficiency. A series parallel loaded resonant converter (SPRC) which is a subset of DC-DC converter can be operated with either zero-voltage turn-on (above resonant frequency) or zero current turn off (below resonant frequency) to eliminate the turn on and turn-off losses of the semiconductor devices. This converter is widely used to achieve reduction in size of the passive components of the converter such as inductor, capacitor and transformers. Simulation results based on a 12V 45Ah battery charger are proposed to validate the analysis and to demonstrate the performance of the proposed approach. Satisfactory performance is obtained from the measured results. The simulation results validate the effectiveness of the chosen battery charger.
