DETAILED DESCRIPTION

[0026] The following describes specific embodiments of the present invention in detail with reference to accompanying drawings.

[0027] According to Embodiment 1, as shown in FIG. 2 to FIG. 3, a 4-1 power supply conversion topology of a multiphase switch capacitor resonant cavity conversion circuit with full-wave output rectification includes 2 conversion switch capacitors C1 and C2 and an output switch capacitor C0 which are sequentially connected in series through conductors, and are connected to two ends of an input power supply. A lower end of the output switch capacitor is grounded, and two ends of the output switch capacitor are connected with output interfaces. The power supply conversion topology further includes 2 switch resonant cavity converters L1 and L2.

[0028] The switch resonant cavity converter, as shown in FIG. 2, includes an input assembly, an output assembly and a connecting assembly connected with the input assembly and the output assembly. The input assembly includes a first MOSFET switch and a second MOSFET switch connected in series through a conductor. The output assembly includes a third MOSFET switch and a fourth MOSFET switch connected in series through a conductor. The connecting assembly includes a resonant capacitor and a resonant inductor connected in series through a conductor. One end of the connecting assembly near the resonant capacitor is connected onto the conductor between the first MOSFET switch and the second MOSFET switch, and the other end of the connecting assembly is connected onto the conductor between the third MOSFET switch and the fourth MOSFET switch. Each of the first MOSFET switch and the third MOSFET switch is provided with a first signal input end. Each of the second MOSFET switch and the fourth MOSFET switch is provided with a second signal input end. The first MOSFET switch, the second MOSFET switch, the third MOSFET switch and the fourth MOSFET switch are all zero-current switches. The first MOSFET switch and the fourth MOSFET switch are switched on and off at a same time. The second MOSFET switch and the third MOSFET switch are switched on and off at a same time. Moreover, a quality factor Q of the switch resonant cavity converter satisfies 0.1≤Q≤10.

[0029] Dead time, i.e., the time at which the first signal input end and the second signal input end are both off, and the first MOSFET switch, the second MOSFET switch, the third MOSFET switch and the fourth MOSFET switch are all on, exists between switch events in the switch resonant cavity converter.

[0030] A capacitance value of the conversion switch capacitor is one order of magnitude greater than a capacitance value of the resonant capacitor. A capacitance value of the output switch capacitor is one order of magnitude greater than a capacitance value of the resonant capacitor.

[0031] The first MOSFET switch and the second MOSFET switch of the input assembly of the switch resonant cavity converter Lj (j is 1 or 2) are respectively connected to two ends of each corresponding conversion switch capacitor Ci (i is 1 or 2). The fourth MOSFET switch of the output assembly of the switch resonant cavity converter Lj (j is 1 or 2) is connected to the lower end of the output switch capacitor. The third MOSFET switch of the output assembly of the switch resonant cavity converter L1 is connected to an upper end of the conversion switch capacitor C1. The third MOSFET switch of the output assembly of the switch resonant cavity converter L2 is connected to an upper end of the output switch capacitor C0.

[0032] During initial operation, the input voltage is equivalently divided into 3 parts of energy to be stored into each of the conversion switch capacitors C2 and C1 and the output switch capacitor C0. The switch resonant cavity converter L1 transmits the energy stored in C2 to C1 and C0 through a resonant cavity. The switch resonant cavity converter L2 transmits the energy stored in C1 to C0 through a resonant cavity. The final voltage transformation at the proportion of 4-1 from 48 V to 12 V is achieved.

[0033] The self synchronism needs to be maintained inside the resonant cavity of the circuit. However, a plurality of resonant cavities are independent of each other, and no synchronous relationship is required between the resonant cavities regardless of aspects of the period, the phase or the frequency.

[0034] There is a 180-degree phase shift between the first group of switch control signals S1 and the second group of switch control signals S2. The duty cycles of the two control signal inputs are identical or approximately identical. The switch resonant cavity converter of each energy conversion loop includes a resonant inductor and a resonant capacitor. When the switch is in an off state, the switch capacitors C1, C2 and C3 in the energy conversion loop are favorable for clamping the voltage across a switch terminal. The switches are controlled through the switch control signals S1 and S2 to be switched on or switched off at a zero current, i.e., ZCS (Zero Current Switching) is achieved. Compared with that in a state when the current flows in the switches, the switching loss can be reduced through the ZCS function.

[0035] The “on” and “off” time of each switching state depends on the resonant frequency of the resonant inductor and the resonant capacitor related in the specific switching state. Additionally, because the switch capacitors C1, C2 and C3 generally do not take part in the resonance, such capacitors can be reasonably regarded as voltage sources, and their influence on the resonant frequency is negligible. Under the ideal condition, the “conduction” time of the switching state equals to a half of the sinusoidal resonant cycle of an equivalent resonant circuit. Practically, some dampings are introduced to the resonant circuit due to presence of series resistors, the practical “conduction” time of each switching state may be adjusted to a value slightly deviating from a half of the sinusoidal resonant time cycle to achieve ZCS.

[0036] According to a timing sequence diagram shown in FIG. 4, switch input signals S1 and S2 and current waveforms of the first MOSFET switch Q1 and the second MOSFET switch Q2 in charging and discharging states are respectively shown. As shown in the timing sequence diagram, the switch timing sequence in the control signals S1 and the switch timing sequence in the control signals S2 are respectively switched to be “on” and “off” according to the resonant frequency. This is favorable for achieving ZCS, such as currents in the respectively shown first MOSFET switch Q1 and second MOSFET switch Q2 in charging and discharging states. The current obtained in the resonant loop is shown as LR current in the figure.

[0037] Dead time exists between all states. In this period, the control signals S1 and S2 are both in an “off” state. Additionally, all the switches of the circuit are in an off state. Under this condition, the respective duty cycles of the first group of control signals S1 and the second group of control signals S2 are lower than 50%. When all the switches are switched off, this dead time is generally minimum to adapt to current reset. Additionally, the ZCS may be achieved by setting the switching time of the two groups of control signals S1 and S2 to be about a half of the sinusoidal resonant cycle of the resonant loop and considering the resistance damping in a circuit element.

[0038] Since the capacitance of the switch capacitor is much higher than the capacitance of the resonant capacitor in the resonant cavity, the equivalent series capacitance is mainly determined by the smaller resonant capacitor.

[0039] It needs to be pointed out that the single conversion switch capacitor or the single output switch capacitor may also be replaced by a capacitor bank with the same capacitance value.
