In high-power server applications to meet high-efficiency and green standards some power-supply designers have found it easier to use a phase-shifted, full-bridge converter. This is because the phase-shifted, full-bridge converter can obtain zero-voltage switching on the primary side of the converter, reducing switching losses, and EMI and increasing overall efficiency.
This is a review of the design of a 600-W, phase-shifted, full-bridge converter for one of these power systems using the UCC2895x-Q1 device, which is based on typical values. In a production design, the values may need to be modified for worst-case conditions. TI has provided a MathCAD Design Tool and an Excel Design Tool to support the system designer. Both tools can be accessed in the Tools and Software tab of the UCC2895x-Q1 product folder on TI.com, or can be downloaded through the following links: MathCAD Design Tool, Excel Design Tool.
The term fSW refers to the switching frequency applied to the power transformer. The output inductor experiences a switching frequency that is 2 × fSW .
