High-Efficiency Multi-Output DC Converter

This document proposes a quasi two-stage architecture for a high step-down multiple output DC-DC converter with a wide input voltage range. It connects the input and output of the front-end DC-DC transformer in series, allowing 20-25% of the input power to directly feed the intermediate bus without conversion. This reduces voltage stresses on devices and transformer turns ratio, improving efficiency. A semi-regulation control scheme provides optimized intermediate bus voltages for second-stage point-of-load converters, balancing frontend and POL converter efficiencies. The proposed system uses fewer switches than existing designs and could enable applications in aerospace, telecommunications and satellite power systems.

A High Step-Down Multiple Output

Converter with Wide Input Voltage Range


Based on Quasi Two-Stage Architecture and
Dual-Output LLC Resonant Converter

Abstract
Introduction:
The two-stage architecture is a good candidate for the wide
and-high input, multiple-and-low output applications. It has
been proven that, although additional loss is introduced by the
first-stage bus converter, the efficiency can still be improved
with a very-high-frequency second-stage point-of-load (PoL)
converter by reducing the intermediate bus voltage and using
low-voltage-rating devices. If the input voltage range is narrow,
a very high efficiency unregulated dc–dc transformer (DCX) can
be employed as the front-end converter, because the unregulated
converter can be designed at its optima operation point to
achieve the highest efficiency.

Existing system:
Synchronous rectifiers are used to improve the efficiency.
Considering the voltage stresses on the switches, a full-bridge
rectifier is used for the VBus1, and a center-tapped rectifier is
used for the VBus2. Therefore, two secondary windings and six
synchronous-rectifying switches have to be used in the front-end
converter.
Proposed system:
A multiple output dc–dc converter based on quasi two-
stage architecture has been proposed in this letter. By connecting
the input and output of the dc-DCX in series, 20%–25% ratio of
the total input power is directly fed to the intermediate bus
without conversion. Hence, the devices’ voltage stresses and
transformer turns ratio of the dc-DCX can be reduced and high
efficiency achieved for the front-end bus converter. By adopting
the semi regulation control scheme, optimized intermediate bus
voltages are provided for the second-stage PoL converters while
considering the tradeoff between the efficiencies of the frontend
converter and PoL converters.

Advantages:
 Less number of switches.
Applications:
 Aerospace and telecommunication applications.
 Satellite power system.
