Hi team,
My customer have a few questions regarding the design:
- Is it possible to increase the switching frequency of PFC/LLC to reduce magnetic components size? If yes, what could be the maximum frequency for both stages?
- LLC stage is not very clear.
From design guide line, I read Lr = 19uH and Cr = 66nF
And I can estimate Lm using equation (16) to 300uH
This give approx Ln = 15.79 and Qe_fullload = 0.57, F0 = 140KHz
If I look at schematic, I read Lr = 13H, Lm = 200uH and Cr = 66nF
This give approx Ln = 15.38 and Qe_fullload = 0.47, F0 = 172KHz
If I draw the gain curve for both cases. It intersects only the Mg_min (=0.972) but never the Mg_max(=1.2)
Is there anything wrong in my calculation?
Anyhow, transformer design cannot be the same.
We need 54V output. Nps = 4?
To minimize copper loss, I will prefer to go for a 4:1:1 structure, 4 primary turns. meaning a primary inductance in the range of 20~30uH
This means to increase the switching frequency to 750Hz or more.
Is that possible?
Thanks,
Connie
