다출력 컨버터의 대기전력 저감에 관한 연구

Abstract

에너지 절약과 환경 문제가 이슈화되면서 대표적인 전원공급장치인 SMPS의 대기모드 효율이 중요시되고 있다. 특히 많은 SMPS들이 다출력 구조로 설계됨에 따라 대기모드에서 전력손실을 줄이기가 쉽지 않다. 본 논문에서는 SSPR(Secondary Side Post Regulator)을 개발하여 단일 컨버터에서 Cross Regulation과 대기전력을 함께 해결하였다. 그리고, 다중 컨버터의 대기전력 감소를 위하여 전류모드 제어와 Power Sequence 제어기술을 제안한다. 제안된 기술은 이론적 해석과 더불어 120[W], 270[W]급 SMPS에 적용하여 그 타당성 및 우수성을 검증하였다.

Recently, the reduction of standby power consumption is significantly issued in electronic and electrical industry for the conservation of environment. In the case of a switched mode power supply (SMPS), it is demanded high efficiency at extremely low output power conditions by consumers. However, it is very different from high efficiency techniques at full load conditions. In addition, many SMPSs are designed as a multi-output circuit for various loads because of cost down. This circuit is difficult to implement both high efficiency and good cross regulation performance, simultaneously. In this paper, secondary side post regulator (SSPR), current mode control method, and power sequence control technique are proposed to reduce standby power consumption and to improve cross regulation performance of the multi-output SMPSs which consist of single or multiple converter. The proposed methods are analyzed by their operational principles and optimal designs verified by experimental results with 110[W] and 270[W] SMPSs.
