WHY RESONANT PULSE CONVERTER-
INTRODUCTION

🞆 To get the desired output voltage or current , the switching

devices in converters are controlled by with a pulse-width-
modulation (PWM) control.
🞆 Hence the devices are undergone with high switch high di/dt
value also high voltage stresses resulting Power loss of a
devices.
🞆 This power losses are increasing with switching frequency.
🞆 The electromagnetic interference is also produced due to high
di/dt and dv/dt in the converter waveforms.

WHY RESONANT PULSE CONVERTER-
INTRODUCTION
🞆 The disadvantages of PWM control can be
eliminated or minimized if the switching devices are
turned “on” and “off” when the voltage across a
device or its current becomes zero.
🞆 The voltage and current are forced to pass through
zero crossing by creating an LC-resonant circuit,
thereby called a resonant pulse converter.

🞆 The series resonant inverters produce a near sinusoidal

output voltage and the output current depends on the
load impedances.
🞆 The parallel resonant inverter produces a near
sinusoidal output current and the output voltage
depends on the load impedances.
🞆 These types of inverters are used for producing high-
frequency output voltage or current and are often used
as an intermediate between a dc source and a dc power
supply.

🞆 depending on the connections of the switching devices and

load. The series inverters may be classified into two
categories:

🞆 1. Series resonant inverters with unidirectional switches

🞆 2. Series resonant inverters with bidirectional switches

The series resonant

circuit formed by L, C,
and load (assumed
resistive) must be
Underdamped. That is,

 An improvement of the basic
inverter can be made if inductors
are closely coupled, as shown here.

 When Q1 is turned on and current

i1(t) begins to rise, the voltage
across L1 is positive with polarity
as shown.
 The induced voltage on L2 now
adds to the voltage of C in reverse
biasing Q2; and Q2 can be turned
off.
The result is that firing of one
transistor turns off the other, even9

(i) Half-bridge series resonant inverter.

 The drawback of high-pulsed
current from the dc supply can be
overcome in a half-bridge
Configuration where L1 = L2 and
C1 = C2.
🞆 The power is drawn from the dc
source during both half-cycles of
output voltage.
🞆 One-half of the load current is
supplied by capacitor C1 or C2 and
the other half by the dc source

(ii)Full-bridge series resonant inverter.
🞆 When Q1 and Q2 are turned on,
a positive resonant current flows
through the load;
🞆 and when Q3 and Q4 are turned
on, a negative load current
flows. The supply current is
continuous, but pulsating.
🞆 The resonant frequency and
available dead zone depend on
the load.

11
Series Resonant Inverters with Unidirectional Switches

🞆 For the resonant inverters with unidirectional

switches, the power devices have to be turned on in
every half-cycle of output voltage.
🞆 This limits the inverter frequency and the amount of
energy transfer from the source to the load. In
addition, the devices are subjected to high peak
reverse voltage.

12
Series Resonant Inverters with Bidirectional Switches

• When device Q1 is turned on, a resonant pulse of current flows

and Q2 is self-commutated at t = t1.

• However, the resonant oscillation continues through diode D1 until

the current falls again to zero at the end of a cycle.

Parallel Resonant Inverters

🞆 A parallel resonant inverter is the dual of a series resonant

inverter.
🞆 It is supplied from a current source so that the circuit offers a
high impedance to the switching current.
