DC/DC resonant converter with galvanic isolation

DC/DC resonant converters for galvanic isolation use a resonant circuit, typically consisting of inductors and capacitors, to efficiently transfer energy between the input and output. The circuit operates at a resonant frequency at which losses are minimized. The reduction of switching losses and EMI contributes to a higher overall efficiency of the converter. Compared to conventional PWM-based DC/DC converters, the design of a resonant converter is more complex as the resonance conditions must be precisely tuned. Resonant operation allows higher switching frequencies to be achieved, which leads to a reduction in the size and weight of passive components (such as transformers and filters). The resonant technology also ensures that the voltage and current peaks that occur in conventional switching processes are reduced, resulting in less stress on the components.

DC/DC converter, boost converter and buck converter

The DC/DC converter topologies are fundamental components in the conversion of electrical power.

Similarities and differences between boost/decompression adjusters

Similarities:

  • Both types of converter use switches, diodes, inductors and capacitors to convert voltage.
  • They work by periodically switching and storing energy in inductors.

Differences:

  • Boost converter: Increases the voltage, suitable for applications where a higher voltage is required than the available input voltage.
  • Buck Converter: Reduces the voltage, suitable for applications where a lower voltage is required than the available input voltage.

Combination:

  • Step-up and step-down converters can be combined with each other, enabling bidirectional operation. The energy can then flow in both directions.
