Phase-Shifted Full-Bridge Power Supply Design Based on DSP

Abstract

This article mainly introduces a design method for a phase-shifted full-bridge switching power supply based on a Digital Signal Processor (DSP). The design goal is to achieve high efficiency and high stability output while addressing power loss and electromagnetic interference issues in traditional power supply designs. By introducing DSP control technology and phase-shift adjustment, high-precision control of the full-bridge circuit is realized. Experimental results show that this design has high efficiency and good dynamic response characteristics.

Theory

1. Phase-Shifted Full-Bridge Topology

The phase-shifted full-bridge circuit is a commonly used DC-DC converter topology. Its core consists of four MOSFET switches, which adjust the output voltage by controlling the conduction time of different switches through phase-shift control.

2. Application of DSP Controller

The Digital Signal Processor (DSP) can collect signals such as voltage and current in real-time and adjust the switching phase of the full-bridge circuit through phase-shift control algorithms to optimize power supply efficiency.

3. Working Principle

• Switching timing: The conduction time difference of diagonal MOSFETs is changed through phase-shift technology to control output voltage and power.
• Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS): MOSFETs are switched under zero voltage conditions through resonance, reducing switching losses.
• PWM Modulation: The DSP outputs control signals through PWM to achieve high-precision phase-shift control.

4. Key Control Parameters

• Input Voltage: 𝑉in
• Output Voltage: 𝑉out
• Switching Frequency: 𝑓sw
• Duty Cycle and Phase Shift Angle: 𝜙

Experimental Results

Experimental Conditions:

• Input Voltage: 24V
• Output Voltage: 12V
• Switching Frequency: 50kHz
• Load Current: 4.2A

Test Results

• Efficiency Test The power supply efficiency was tested under different loads, with a maximum efficiency of 94%.

• Output Voltage Fluctuation The output voltage fluctuation is less than 0.5%, proving that the system has good voltage regulation performance.

• Dynamic Response In the case of load sudden changes, the system response time is less than 1ms, indicating that the DSP controller has strong dynamic adjustment capability.
