摘要

Dead-time can be optimized to achieve soft-switching and efficiency improvement for GaN-based converters, but the effect of dead-time on the dynamic model remains unclear. An AC circuit model is developed to simplify the modeling of conventional state-space averaging for GaN-based synchronous buck converters with dead-time incorporated. An investigation is conducted to quantify the effect of dead-time on the converter dynamic performance. The impact of dead-time on stability is analyzed via impedance modeling of the cascaded circuits. Due to the advantage of clarity, the proposed AC circuit model is promising for multiphase high-order converters. The proposed model shows an 8.85% increase in the accuracy of the dynamic input current under a step source voltage. A single-phase and three-phase prototypes are built to verify the accuracy of the proposed AC circuit model.
