Magnetizing Inductance Selection (Lm)

To ensure ZVS operation of the primary side FETs, we need to make sure the energy stored in the resonant tank is greater than the energy stored in the FET output capacitors. We can use Equation 3 to determine the needed Lm for full-bridge LLC SRCs.

Equation 3. GUID-E3ED05EC-C056-4F80-A3FE-9C6011911411-low.gif

where the intended switching frequency for the converter is 500 kHz, hence T = 1/(500 * 103), and based on the power device. Selected parameters such as tdead and Coss can also be identified from the power device data sheet. Typically, the effective Coss must be calculated using curve fitting. On this design, based on the design parameters discussed, Lm must be less than 20 µH. In addition to what is accounted for in the above calculation, there is inter-winding capacitance in a real transformer that needs to be discharged by the resonant tank current. Therefore, using simulation, a value of 14 µH was selected to ensure ZVS across the operating range of the converter; this value is used in the subsequent selection processes.
