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 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 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 .
