ABSTRACT
A switch-controlled single-stage general purpose
power converter, pendulum resonant converter,
which combines the resonant regulator and power
factor correction (PFC) circuitry, is presented in this
report. A new control method for the power
converter is introduced.
Detailed mathematic
analysis and simulation are given. The control goal
is to realize sinusoidal input current draw and output
voltage regulation. The feasibility of realizing softswitching for switches is also studied as an important
issue. Software packages such as Matlab and Orcad
are used to perform the simulation.
TOPOLOGY AND CONTROL METHOD OF
THE PENDULUM RESONANT CONVERTER
In a traditional half-bridge resonant converter output
stage configuration (Fig.1.1), the top switch of the
half-bridge, M1, and the top of the DC bus capacitor,
Cbus, are connected together at a single node. The
power factor controller, comprised of Lpfc, Mpfc and
Dpfc, must first charge Cbus and then Cbus supplies
the half-bridge DC to DC resonant converter the
entire time.
In the new configuration (Fig.1.2), the DC bus
capacitor, Cbus, is placed on the other side of a
second half-bridge (M3 and M4). The DC bus
capacitor is separated from the input by the ac-side
half-bridge (M1 and M2), the resonant tank (L, C,
and Rload), and the dc-side half-bridge (M3 and M4).
Important to note is that the resonant tank may be
replaced by a piezoelectric transformer equivalent.
By connecting the circuit in this fashion, bidirectional power flow is achieved. And with proper
control of the switches (M1, M2, M3, and M4),
sinusoidal current is drawn from the line for high
power factor; the DC bus capacitor, Cbus, is charged;

PHASE SHIFT CONTROL FOR
THE PENDULUM RESONANT CONVETER
The design of phase shift control is to operate
switches on different sides of the bridge with a shift
of degree. As Fig.2.1 shown below, M1 and M3
operate with phase shift and Vout is the voltage
applied to the resonant tank.
