2.1 Benefits of Phase-Shifted Full-Bridge with Current Doubler Rectification

The PSFB-CDR topology offers the following benefits:

  • A constant frequency operation makes it easier to design input and output filters.
  • Comparable component count to LLC.
  • Wide input to output conversion range.
  • Offers easier digital control loop implementation.
  • Straight forward control of synchronous rectifiers.
  • Easy to parallel two stages and control current sharing.
  • Offers high efficiency and soft switching.
  • The current doubler stage reduces current requirements for output inductors and transformer secondary side winding.
