LLC Resonant Converter With Matrix Transformer

摘要

In this paper, a high-efficiency high power density LLC resonant converter with a matrix transformer is proposed. A matrix transformer can help reduce leakage inductance and the ac resistance of windings so that the flux cancellation method can then be utilized to reduce core size and loss. Synchronous rectifier (SR) devices and output capacitors are integrated into the secondary windings to eliminate termination-related winding losses, via loss and reduce leakage inductance. A 1 MHz 390 V/12 V 1 kW LLC resonant converter prototype is built to verify the proposed structure. The efficiency can reach as high as 95.4%, and the power density of the power stage is around 830 W/in$^{3}$.
