11 kW bi-directional CLLC DC-DC converter with
1200 V and 1700 V CoolSiC™ MOSFETs
About this document
Scope and purpose
This document introduces a complete Infineon Technologies AG system solution for an 11 kW bi-directional DCDC converter. The REF-DAB11KIZSICSYS board is a DC-DC stage with a wide range output using two inductors
and two capacitors (CLLC) resonant network with bi-directional capability.This converter can operate under
high power conversion efficiency, as the symmetric CLLC resonant network has zero-voltage switching
capability for primary power switches and synchronous-rectification commutation capability for secondry-side
output rectifiers. The converter could change the power flow direction, and its maximum power conversion
efficiency was around 98% during the operation.
This document shows the board using 1200 V CoolSiC™ MOSFETs in TO247-4 package and EiceDRIVER™ 1ED
compact gate driver ICs, which leverage the advantages of SiC technology including improved efficiency, space
and weight savings, part count reduction, and enhanced system reliability.
Intended audience
This document is intended for engineers who want to use 1200 V and 1700 V CoolSiC™ MOSFETs with
EiceDRIVER™ driver ICs for bi-directional resonant topology applications such as EV-charger wall box, energy
storage systems to achieve reliable main-circuit design and increased power density.

waveforms by oscilloscope. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or death.
Darkened display LEDs are not an indication that capacitors have discharged to safe
voltage levels.
Warning: Remove or disconnect power from the drive before you disconnect or
reconnect wires, or perform maintenance work. Wait five minutes after removing
power to discharge the bus capacitors. Do not attempt to service the drive until the bus
capacitors have discharged to zero. Failure to do so may result in personal injury or
death.
Caution: The heat sink and device surfaces of the evaluation or reference board may
become hot during testing. Hence, necessary precautions are required while handling
the board. Failure to comply may cause injury.
Caution: Only personnel familiar with the drive, power electronics and associated
machinery should plan, install, commission and subsequently service the system.
Failure to comply may result in personal injury and/or equipment damage.
Caution: The evaluation or reference board contains parts and assemblies sensitive to
electrostatic discharge (ESD). Electrostatic control precautions are required when
installing, testing, servicing or repairing the assembly. Component damage may result
if ESD control procedures are not followed. If you are not familiar with electrostatic
control procedures, refer to the applicable ESD protection handbooks and guidelines.
Caution: A drive that is incorrectly applied or installed can lead to component damage
or reduction in product lifetime. Wiring or application errors such as undersizing the
motor, supplying an incorrect or inadequate AC supply, or excessive ambient
temperatures may result in system malfunction.
Caution: The evaluation or reference board is shipped with packing materials that
need to be removed prior to installation. Failure to remove all packing materials that
are unnecessary for system installation may result in overheating or abnormal
operating conditions.

1.2 Block diagram
The REF-DAB11KIZSICSYS design consists of a CLLC in full-bridge configuration (Figure 2). The CLLC resonant
converter is widely used as a DC transformer to interlink the AC/DC to DC bus, because of its advantages of high
power density and the capacity of bi-directional power transfer. In both forward and reverse modes, the
resonant tank possesses almost the same operational characteristics of the conventional LLC resonant
tank.Thus the ZVS+ZCS soft switching can be achieved both in forward and reverse modes, and the switching
losses can be minimized, thereby improving charger efficiency.
This architecture showed in the block diagram contains three parts, the main power circuit, the auxiliary power
board and the control board.

1.3 Main features
A bi-directional full-bridge CLLC resonant converter using a symmetric CLLC-type resonant network
is proposed for a bi-directional power distribution system. This converter can operate under high
power conversion efficiency, as the symmetric LLC resonant network has zero-voltage switching
capability for primary power switches and sychronous rectification capability for secondary- side
rectifiers.
In addition, the proposed topology does not require any snubber circuits to reduce the voltage stress
of the switching devices because the switch voltage of the primary and secondary power stage is
confined by the input and output voltage, respectively. In addition, the power conversion efficiency
of any direction is similar. Intelligent digital-control algorithms are also proposed to regulate output
voltage, control bi-directional power conversions and to achieve synchronous rectification.

thing: the output voltage parameter must be changed in the GUI window.
2.2.1 Description of the functional blocks
The output gain function of CLLC topology is generally analyzed by the fundamental wave-analysis method.
Based on this analysis method, the parameters of the key resonant components in the current design are
shown in the Figure 4:
By using this parameter, the resonance parameter Q of the primary and secondary transformers is consistent,
and the natural resonance frequency is 73 kHz. In the design, we chose a switching frequency of the topology in
the range of 40 kHz to 200 KHz.
The structure of CLLC topology on the primary side and the secondary side is the same. On the contrary, the
fundamental wave-analysis method is also valid. The relationship between the output/input gain and the
switching frequency of the circuit is shown in Error! Reference source not found.(reverse energy
transmission):
The current of the primary/secondary resonant cavity and the Vds waveform of the SiC MOSFET in the steady
state can be obtained as follows with the help of PLECS simulation software for verification:
Buck mode (forward-energy transmission), input voltage 800 V, and output voltage 550 V with load 27.5 Ω. At
this time, the CLLC topology switching frequency is 86.2 KHz:

Figure 7 Simulation result of CLLC boost mode
In the case of no load or light load, the CLLC topology must work in frequency-modulation mode (PFM),
otherwise the power devices in the circuit may work at a very high switching frequency. Due to the existence of
parasitic parameters, the output voltage cannot be reduced to the target value under the circumstances of
continuous wave mode. The topology will work in this mode:

Channel 2 is the output voltage.

2.2.2 Special operation modes
The CLLC circuit used CoolSiCTM MOSFETs in the primary and secondary sides, so under normal work conditions
when one side of the transformer is in the switching state, the other side works in the diode rectification mode.
As known, MOSFET body diodes have considerable conduction voltage drops. Fortunately, the channel of the
MOSFET has reverse-conduction capability with a much smaller conducting voltage drop than its body diode.
Therefore it is necessary to adopt the synchronous rectification method to reduce the conduction loss on the
rectifier side, and improve the conversion efficiency.
Here explain a basic principle of the synchronous rectification scheme:
Under normal circumstances, dedicated synchronous rectifier drive controllers are widely used to detect the Vds
of the rectifier tube, and to control the gate drive in time. However, we cannot use this method in bi-directional

11 kW bi-directional CLLC DC-DC converter with 1200V and 1700V CoolSiC™
MOSFETs
System and functional description
DC/DC converters. In this board, we adopted another low-cost method to achieve synchronous rectification
control:
By sampling the current on the secondary side of the transformer through the current transformer CT,
and converting the periodic positive and negative current sampling signal into a DC current via the
rectifier circuit, then sending it to the non-inverting input of the comparator;
The comparator compares the rectified current sampling signal with a fixed threshold V
ref
, which is set
to be slightly more than 0;
The output inversion signal of the comparator and the primary pulse-width modulation (PWM) signal
are subjected to the AND operation and then sent to the corresponding rectifier drive circuit as the
drive signal. This process can also be completed by the MCU.
Below is the implementation block diagram of the synchronous rectification function:

With this method, it is easy to achieve synchronous rectification. At present, the AND operation between the flip
signal output by the comparator and the primary PWM signal is carried out inside the MCU. The MCU recognizes
that the comparator outputs a high level, and triggers an external interrupt, which is combined with the current
cycle of the PWM wave-sending sequence in the interrupt service routine. The corresponding synchronous
rectification drive is issued, but there is a certain delay in the actual measurement software processing. The
actual measurement current delay is about 1 s, and software optimization is required to reduce this delay
time.

2.3.1 The technical specification of auxiliary power boards
The reference board is intended to support customers designing an auxiliary power supply for three-phase
converters using the Infineon 1700 V CoolSiC™ MOSFET. Potential applications include solar inverters, energy
storage, EV chargers, UPS and motor drives. Table 2 lists the key board specifications.
Table 3 Technical specifications
2.3.2 Auxiliary power board description
The auxiliary power boards was developed using the 1700 V CoolSiC™ MOSFET in a single-ended flyback topology
to provide auxiliary power for these DC-DC converters.
The board has 20V outputs with up to 32 W output power working in a wide input voltage range from 200 VDC to
850 VDC. Its potential applications are any power electronic system having a high input voltage DC link.
This user guide contains an overview of the reference board’s operation, product information and technical
details with measurement results. The board uses 1700 V CoolSiC™ MOSFET in a TO-263 7L surface-mounted

flyback topology. With low R
DS(on)
, high efficiency and low device temperature rise can be achieved with this
board.
The controller works in quasi-resonant mode to help reduce EMI noise. This information can help customers
during their design-in phase, and for re-use of the reference design board for their own specific requirements.
Figure 16 Pictures of auxiliary power board
2.3.3 1700 V CoolSiC™ MOSFET overview
The auxiliary power board was developed using the 1700 V CoolSiC™ MOSFET in a single-ended flyback topology
to provide auxiliary power for this DC-DC. The 1700 V CoolSiC™ MOSFET from Infineon is an excellent choice for
high input voltage DC link systems like those found in auxiliary power supplies for three-phase converters. The
TO-263 7L surface-mounted device (SMD) package is an optimized package for up to 1700 V high voltage power
device. There is a creepage distance of about 7 mm width between drain and source, so safety standards are
easily met. The separate driver source pin is helpful in reducing parasitic inductance of the gate loop to prevent
gate-ringing effects.
Using Infineon’s 1700 V CoolSiC™ MOSFET can simplify the current auxiliary power supply designs by developing
a single-ended flyback reference design board. For a low-power auxiliary power supply, a flyback is the most
common topology due to its simple design. However, the flyback topology requires a switching device with a
high-blocking voltage. Currently, silicon MOSFETs only have a blocking voltage of up to 1500 V that leaves low
design margins, which affects the reliability of the power supply at a given input voltage DC link of 1000 VDC.
Moreover, most 1500 V silicon MOSFETs have very large on-state resistance (R
DS(on)
), which will lead to higher
losses, and thus lower system efficiency.

The ICE5QSAG gate drive output stage has a 0.9 A source capability, and output voltage up to 13 V, so the SiC
MOSFET can be driven directly, which simplifies the driver circuit design.
The auxiliary power board was developed using the 1700 V CoolSiC™ MOSFET in a single-ended flyback
topology to provide auxiliary power for this DC-DC. The 1700 V CoolSiC™ MOSFET from Infineon is an excellent
choice for high input voltage DC link.
