Abstract
- For very high frequency (VHF) class Φ2 inverter, conventional design method requires complex tuning for parameters. Without fully quantitative calculations, the tuning highly depends on experience that cannot achieve optimal design. In this article, a target function design strategy is proposed based on quantitative harmonic weighting, which simplifies the design procedures and minimizes the switch voltage stress. First, the target switch voltage with minimized peak value is derived by optimizing the harmonic weighting. With the result, the power switch is modeled as a voltage source to simplify the calculations, where the branch currents are solved to provided fully quantitative analysis. Based on the analysis, optimal features of switching node impedance are derived to achieve the target switch voltage. In addition, basic constrains of the resonant tank are analyzed to reduce circling currents. Combining the optimal features and basic constrains of the resonant tank, the circuit parameters are calculated directly, which minimizes the switch voltage stress and improves power efficiency. Compared with conventional design, a 27.12 MHz prototype demonstrates 10.2% reduction in average switch voltage stress and 7.2% improvement in average efficiency. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
