Investigate model and reduction technique of common-mode noise for LLC resonant converter

Tóm tắt

Switch Mode Power Supplies (SMPS) are extensively employed in fields such as telecommunications, information technology, and
electric vehicles, where energy efficiency is increasingly demanded. Modern SMPS designs prioritize compact size, high power density,
and optimal efficiency to meet these requirements. The LLC resonant topology, commonly utilized in the DC/DC conversion stage
with planar transformers, enables operation at high frequencies (hundreds of kHz) and facilitates soft switching across the full load
range. However, a significant drawback of this topology is electromagnetic interference (EMI), particularly common-mode (CM)
noise, which arises from high switching frequencies and parasitic capacitance in the components. This challenge is further exacerbated by the use of planar transformers. This study presents a CM noise model for the Half-Bridge LLC (HB-LLC) converter based on a
two-capacitor transformer representation, aiming to analyze CM noise behavior and investigate practical, cost-effective methods for its reduction.
