Controlling Zero Voltage Switched Full Bridge (ZVSFB) Converter

3.9Controlling Zero Voltage Switched Full Bridge (ZVSFB) Converter

The example given in Figure 3-15assumes a static or constant phase relationship between legs (modules). In such a case, control is achieved by modulating the duty cycle. It is also possible to dynamically change the phase value on a cycle-by-cycle basis. This feature lends itself to controlling a class of power topologies known as phase-shifted full bridge, or zero voltage switched full bridge. Here the controlled parameter is not duty cycle (this is kept constant at approximately 50 percent); instead it is the phase relationship between legs. Such a system can be implemented by allocating the resources of two PWM modules to control a single power stage, which in turn requires control of four switching elements. Figure 3-16shows a master/slave module combination synchronized together to control a full H-bridge. In this case, both master and slave modules are required to switch at the same PWM frequency. The phase is controlled by using the slave's phase register (TBPHS). The master's phase register is not used and therefore can be initialized to zero.
