Product overview
Description
The STDES-6KWHVDCDC reference design is a 6 kW high voltage DC-DC converter mainly for battery charging in an EV infrastructure.
The reference design consists of a full bridge LLC resonant converter, digitally controlled.
For the output rectification, SiC diodes have been used. Depending on the output voltage requirement, the LLC transformer output configuration is interchangeable between center tapped and full-wave.
This results in frequency fold-back that increases efficiency by a wide margin over an entire output voltage range.
The dual transformer variant is more suited for limited output voltage: 200-500 or 500-1000 V depending on the secondary winding scheme. This scheme also uses smaller cores. The single transformer variant is usable for 200-1000 V with the frequency foldback scheme.
STW40N95DK5 MDmesh DK5 Power MOSFETs are used in the LLC stage while STPSC40H12CWL SiC diodes are used in rectification. The STM32G474RET6 MCU manages the control functions.
The auxiliary power supply is referred to a secondary GND to supply MOSFET gate driver, microcontroller, and signal conditioning.
The gate driving of LLC MOSFETs is isolated through a gate drive transformer in addition to the PM8834MTR gate driver ICs.
Formal testing and measurement results confirm the ability of performance ST power products combined with comprehensive digital control to deliver high efficiency across wide input voltage and load conditions.
