Fundamental impedance‑based digital synchronous rectification scheme for bidirectional CLLC resonant converters

Synchronous rectification (SR) is an effective way to improve the efficiency of CLLC resonant converters. The soft switching of SR is affected by the parasitic capacitance and the zero-crossing point of the current of the secondary inductance. Therefore, based on uncontrolled rectification on the secondary of the converter, the effective range of soft switching for SR under different operating modes is analyzed. A fundamental impedance model is established to obtain the discharge time of the parasitic capacitance and the zero-crossing point of the current of the secondary in the upper resonant frequency mode. The relationship between the SR signals and primary driving signals in different operating modes is summarized, which can improve the operating range of the SR while ensuring soft-switching. This in turn, ensures the operating efficiency of the converter. The calculation method of the turn-ON and turn-OFF times of the SR in different modes is improved. In addition, the proposed SR method can be used in bidirectional CLLC resonant converters that do not have SR functionality. To accomplish this, only the control program needs to be updated. Experimental results on a 200 V 500 W prototype are given to verify the effectiveness of the SR method.
