Novel two Phase Interleaved LLC series resonant converter using a phase of the resonant capacitor

Abstract

LLC series resonant converter has many unique characteristics and improvement over PWM topologies. However, many output capacitors should be needed in parallel to satisfy an output voltage ripple and a rated ripple current of the capacitors. This paper is deal with a novel two phase interleaved LLC resonant converter using a phase of the resonant capacitor. The proposed converter can satisfy output voltage ripple and a rated ripple current of capacitors with few output capacitors, relatively. The operation and features is considered in detail and a prototype with a 12V-100A output is investigated.
