Efficiency of Isolated / non-isolated converters

• Practically, any transistor working as a switch dissipates power, Why?


There will always be an on-state resistance (voltage drop) across the
device in the fully on-state. This resistance (voltage drop) causes
losses called conduction losses.
There will always be some sort of ‘’electrical inertia’’ during switch
transitions from on to off and vice-versa. This inertia causes non-zero
switch voltage/current overlap, which causes losses. These losses are
called switching losses.
Isolated / non-isolated converters
• Ideally, this switch acts as a short-circuit during on-time (zero
voltage drop, and hence, zero losses) and as an open-circuit during
off time (zero current, and hence, zero losses).

Isolated / non-isolated converters

Voltage PWM control, i.e. variable duty cycle


Continuous / Discontinuous current mode
Ideal vs. Practical gain curve
Resonant converters advantages
• Zero-current switching: switch current is zero prior to turn off
• Zero-voltage switching: switch voltage is zero prior to turn on
• Possible operation at higher switching frequency
• Reduced size of passive components,
• Higher power density
• If Zero-voltage switching is implemented it also reduces converter-generated EMI
• In specialized applications resonant networks may be unavoidable
Resonant converters disadvantages
• Can optimize performance at one operating point, operation is not optimum over wide range of input
voltage or load power variations
• Significant currents may circulate through the tank elements, even when the load is reduced, leading to
poor efficiency at light load
• Quasi-sinusoidal waveforms exhibit higher peak and RMS values than equivalent rectangular
waveforms
• All the above points lead to increased conduction losses, which can offset the reduction in switching loss
• Variable switching frequency operation required
• Complexity: need different analysis and modelling methods
