Voltage Gain

To understand tank design, first the gains for both battery-charging mode and reverse-power-flow mode must be analyzed with First Harmonic Analysis (FHA) using first harmonic approximation. The simplified diagram of the resonant tank is given in Figure 2-4.

GUID-E73FB178-816B-4EB4-ACC0-42F290D6D89E-low.gifFigure 2-4 FHA Model for CLLLC Resonant Tank During Battery Charging Mode (BCM)

The nomenclature for Figure 2-4 is as follows:

Vprim

(TTPLPFC_VBUS)

Voltage input at primary side
LrpPrimary side resonant inductor
CrpPrimary side resonant capacitor
NCLLLCTurns ratio of the transformer
LmMagnetizing inductor
VsecVoltage output at secondary side
LrsSecondary side resonant inductor
CrsSecondary side resonant capacitor
RLEffective load seen with FHA on the secondary output

Note here the effective RL is accounted for as GUID-045497E2-483E-4402-8FAB-6E431E3A771D-low.gif where RL_dc is the DC resistive load at the output.

Referring to secondary side quantities on the primary side,

  • Lrs' is equal to Lrs * NCLLLC * NCLLLC
  • Crs' is equal to Crs / (NCLLLC * NCLLLC)
  • RL' is equal to RL * (NCLLLC * NCLLLC)
  • Vrs' is equal to Vrs * NCLLLC

Using KCL and KVL, the gain equation can be written as Equation 1.

Equation 1. GUID-1CCEA33A-4AFB-44E8-8CD4-BA85665658F8-low.gif

Similarly, for the reverse power flow, the circuit can be simplified as shown in Figure 2-6, and the gain can be written as Equation 2.

Equation 1 and Equation 2 are used in the following section to study the voltage gain based on the parameters selected for the design.
