Application note
1 kW dual stage DC-AC converter based on the STP160N75F3
Introduction
This application note provides design guidelines and performance characterization of the
STEVAL-ISV001V1 demonstration board.
This board implements a 1 kW dual stage DC-AC converter, suitable for use in batterypowered uninterruptible power supplies (UPS) or photovoltaic (PV) standalone systems.
The converter is fed by a low DC input voltage varying from 20 V to 28 V, and is capable of
supplying up to 1 kW of output power on a single-phase AC load. These features are
possible thanks to a dual stage conversion topology that includes an efficient step-up pushpull DC-DC converter, which produces a regulated high-voltage DC bus and a sinusoidal HBridge PWM inverter to generate a 50 Hz, 230 Vrms output sine wave. Other key features of
the system proposed are high power density, high switching frequency and efficiency
greater than 90% over a wide output load range

System description
In a UPS system, as shown in Figure 2, a DC-AC converter is always used to convert the
DC power from the batteries to AC power used to supply the load. The basic scheme also
includes a battery pack, a battery charger which converts AC power from the grid into DC
power, and a transfer switch to supply the load from the mains or from the energy storage
elements if a line voltage drop or failure occurs.

Another application where a DC-AC converter is always required is shown in the block
diagram of Figure 3. In this case, the converter is part of a conversion scheme commonly
used in standalone photovoltaic systems. An additional DC-DC converter operates as a
battery charger while performing a maximum power point tracking algorithm (MPPT), which
is necessary to maximize the energy yield from the PV array. The battery pack is always
present to store energy when solar radiation is available and release it at night or during
hours of low insolation.

The DC-DC section is a critical part of the converter design. In fact, the need for high overall
efficiency (close to 90% or higher) together with the specifications for continuous power
rating, low input voltage range leading to high input current, and the need for high switching
frequency to minimize weight and size of passive components, makes it a quite challenging
design.
Due to the constraints given by the specifications given in Table 1, few topology solutions
are suitable to meet the efficiency target. Actually, since the input voltage of the DC-AC
converter must be at least equal to 350 V, it is not feasible to use non-isolated DC-DC
converters. Moreover, the output power rating prevents the use of single switch topologies
such as the flyback and the forward. Among the remaining isolated topologies, the half
bridge and full bridge are more suitable for high DC input voltage applications and also
characterized by the added complexity of gate drive circuitry of the high side switches.

Due to such considerations, the push-pull represents the most suitable choice. This
topology features two transistors on the primary side and a center tapped high frequency
transformer, as shown in the step-up section in Figure 4. It is quite efficient at low input
voltage making it widely used in battery powered UPS applications. Both power devices are
ground referenced with consequent simple gate drive circuits. They are alternatively turned

System description
on and off in order to transfer power to each primary of the center tapped transformer.
Contemporary conduction of both devices must be avoided by limiting the duty cycle value
of the constant frequency PWM modulator to less than 0.5. The PWM modulator should also
prevent unequal ON times for the driving signals since this would result in transformer
saturation caused by the "Flux Walking" phenomenon.
The basic operation is similar to a forward converter. In fact, when a primary switch is active,
the current flows through the rectifier diodes, charging the output inductor, while when both
the switches are off, the output inductor discharges. It is important to point out that the
operating frequency of the output inductor is twice the switching frequency.
A transformer reset circuit is not needed thanks to the bipolar flux operation, which also
means better transformer core utilization with respect to single-ended topologies.
The main disadvantage of the push-pull converter is the breakdown voltage of primary
power devices which has to be higher than twice the input voltage. In fact, when voltage is
applied to one of the two transformer primary windings by the conduction of a transistor, the
reflected voltage across the other primary winding puts the drain of the off state transistor at
twice the input voltage with respect to ground. This is the reason why push-pull converters
are not suitable for high input voltage applications.
For the above mentioned reasons, the voltage fed push-pull converter, shown in Figure 4, is
chosen to boost the input voltage from 24 V to a regulated 350 V, suitable for optimal
inverter operation. The high voltage conversion ratio can be achieved by proper transformer
turns ratio design, taking into account that the input to output voltage transfer function is
given by:
Equation 1
Vout = 2
N2
DVin
N1
The duty cycle is set by a voltage mode PWM regulator (SG3525) to keep a constant output
DC bus voltage. This voltage is then converted into AC using a standard H-bridge converter
implemented with four ultrafast switching IGBTs in PowerMESH™ technology, switching at
16 kHz. The switching strategy, based on PWM sinusoidal modulation, is implemented on
an 8-bit ST7lite39 microcontroller unit. This allows the use of a simple LC circuit to obtain a
high quality sine wave in terms of harmonic content.
The power supply section consists of a buck-boost converter to produce a regulated 15 V
from a minimum input voltage of 4 V. The circuit can be simply implemented by means of a
L5973 device, characterized by an internal P-channel DMOS transistor and few external
components. In this way, it is possible to supply all the driving circuits and the PWM
modulator. A standard linear regulator, L7805, provides 5 V supply to the microcontroller
unit.

AN2794
Design considerations
The basic operation of a voltage fed push-pull converter is shown in Figure 5, where
theoretical converter waveforms are highlighted. In practice, significant overvoltages across
devices M1, M2 and across the four rectifier diodes are observed in most cases due to the
leakage inductance of the high frequency transformer. As a consequence, the breakdown
voltage of primary devices must be greater than twice the input voltage, and the use of
snubbing and/or clamping circuits is often helpful.
Special attention has to be paid to transformer design, due to the difficulties in minimizing
the leakage inductance and implementing low-voltage high-current terminations. Moreover,
imbalance in the two primary inductance values must be avoided both by symmetrical
windings and proper printed circuit board (PCB) layout. While transformer construction
techniques guarantee good symmetry and low leakage inductance values, asymmetrical
layout due to inappropriate component placement can be the source of different PCB trace
inductances. Whatever the cause of a difference in peak current through the switching
elements, transformer saturation in voltage mode push-pull converters can occur in a few
switching cycles with catastrophic consequences.

better to choose the maximum duty cycle of each phase as:

The Kg constant is related to the core geometrical parameters by the following equation:
Equation 32
Kg =
Wa A 2cK u
MLT
where Wa is the core window area, Ac is the core cross sectional area and MLT is the mean
length per turn.
For example, choosing an E55/28/21 core with N27 ferrite, having
●
Wa= 2.8 cm2
●
Ac= 3.5 cm2
●
MLT= 11.3 cm
the resulting Kg factor is:
●
Kg= 0.91 cm2
which is then suitable for this application.
Once the core has been chosen, it is possible to calculate the number of primary turns as
follows:
Equation 33
N1 =
Vinmin DmaxT
ΔBAc
= 2 turns
The primary inductance value is:
Equation 34
Lp = N2AL = 4 • 5800 nH = 23.2 μH
and the number of secondary turns is:
Equation 35
N2 = N • N1 = 38 turns
At this point wires must be selected in order to implement primary and secondary windings.
At 100 kHz the current penetration depth is:
Equation 36
δ=

Then, the wire diameter can be selected as follows:
Equation 37
d = 2δ = 0.0418 cm

and the conductor section is:
Equation 38

Checking the wire table we notice that AWG26, having a wire area of AWAWG26 = 0.00128
cm2, can be used in this design. Considering a current density J = 500 A/cm2 the number of
primary wires is given by:
Equation 39
Snp =

A w AWG26

where:

Since the AWG26 has a resistance of 1345 μΩ/cm, the primary resistance is:
Equation 41
rp =
1345μΩ / cm
= 21.69μΩ / cm
62
and so the value of resistance for the primary winding is:
Equation 42
Rp = N1 • MLT • rp = 490 .1 μΩ

To select a proper core we must compute the LI2pk value:

The resulting magnetizing force (DC bias) is:
Equation 55

The initial value of turns has to be increased by dividing it by 0.8 (as shown in the data
catalog) to take into account the reduction of initial permeability (μe = 39 at full load) at
nominal current value. Then, the adjusted number of turns is:
Equation 56
N = 165 turns
The wire table shows that at 3 A the AWG20 can be used. With this choice, the maximum
number of turns per layer, for the selected core, is Nlayer= 96 and the resistance per single
layer is rlayer= 0.166Ω. The total winding resistance is then:

Analysis of the converter losses
Once the transformer has been designed, the next step in performing the loss analysis is to
choose the power devices both for the input and output stage of the push-pull converter.
According to the calculations given above the following components have been selected:

Note:
Assuming: tB= trr/2, VRM= 350 V
Converter losses are distributed according to the graphic in Figure 6, where PCB trace
losses and control losses are not considered. What is important to note is that primary
switch conduction accounts for 36% of total DC-DC converter losses. This contribution can
be reduced by paralleling either two or three power devices. For example, by paralleling
three STP160N75F3s, a reduction in MOSFET conduction losses of 33% is achieved. Thus
MOSFET conduction losses account for 16% of total DC-DC converter losses, resulting in a
1.8% efficiency improvement.

Layout considerations
Because of the high power level involved with this design, the parasitic elements must be
reduced as much as possible. Proper operation of the push-pull converter can be assured
through geometrical symmetry of the PCB board. In fact, geometrical symmetry leads to
electrical symmetry, preventing a difference in the current values across the two primary
windings of the transformer which can be the cause of core saturation. The output stage of
the converter has also to be routed with a certain degree of symmetry even if in this case the
impact of unwanted parasitic elements is lower because of lower current values with respect
to the input stage. In Figure 8, Figure 9 and Figure 10, a symmetrical layout designed for the
application is shown.

To obtain geometrical symmetry the HF transformer has been placed at the center of the
board, which has been developed using double-sided, 140 μm FR-4 substrate with
135 x 185 mm size. In addition, this placement of the transformer is the most suitable since
it is the bulkiest part of the board. Both the primary and secondary AC current loops are
placed very close to the transformer in order to reduce their area and consequently their
parasitic inductances. For this reason the MOSFET and rectifier diodes lie at the edges of
the PCB. Input loop PCB traces show identical shapes to guarantee the same values of
resistance and parasitic inductance. Also the IGBTs of the inverter stage lie at one edge of
the board. This gives the advantage of using a single heat sink for each group of power
components. The output filter is placed on the right side of the transformer, between the
bridge rectifier and the inverter stage.
The power supply section lies on the left side of the transformer, simplifying the routing of
the 15 V bus dedicated to supply all the control circuitry.

Schematic description
Schematic description
The schematic of the converter is shown in Figure 11. Three MOSFETs are paralleled in
order to transfer power to each primary winding of the transformer. Both RC and RCD
networks can be connected between the drain and source of the MOSFETs to reduce the
overvoltages and voltage ringing caused by unclamped leakage inductance. The output of
the transformer is rectified by a full bridge of ultrafast soft-recovery diodes. An RCD network
is connected across the rectifier output to clamp the diode voltage to its steady state value
and recover the reverse recovery energy stored in the leakage inductance. This energy is
first transferred to the clamp capacitor and then partially diverted to the output through a
resistor.
The IGBT full bridge is connected to the output of the push-pull stage. Their control signals
are generated by an SG3525 voltage mode PWM modulator. Its internal clock, necessary to
generate the 100 kHz modulation, is set by an external RC network. The PWM output stage
is capable of sourcing or sinking up to 100 mA which can be enough to directly drive the
gate of the MOSFETs devices. The PWM controller power dissipation, given by the sum of
its own power consumption and the power needed to drive six STP160N75F3s at 100 kHz,
can be evaluated with the following equation:
Equation 67
PContoller tot = 6Q g fVdrive + VsIs = 1.3W
where Vs and Is are the supply voltage and current.
Since this power dissipation would result in a high operating temperature of the IC, a totem
pole driving circuit has been used to handle the power losses and peak currents, achieving
a more favorable operating condition. This circuit was implemented by means of an NPNPNP complementary pair of BJT transistors. The control and driver stage schematic is
shown in Figure 11.

Experimental results
Typical voltage and current waveforms of the DC-AC converter and the efficiency curves of
the push-pull DC-DC stage, measured at different input voltages, are shown below. In
particular, Figure 12 and Figure 13 show both input and output characteristic waveforms of
the DC-DC converter both in light load and full load condition.
The HF transformer leakage inductance, which is about 1% of the magnetizing inductance,
is the cause of severe ringing across the input and the output power devices. MOSFETs
voltage and current waveforms with and without the connection of a snubber network are
shown in Figure 14 and 15, while Figure 16 and 17 show the effect of the RCD clamp circuit
connected across the rectifier bridge output. In Figure 18 the current and the voltage across
one of the three parallel-connected MOSFETs, powering each of the two windings of the
transformer are shown, while in Figure 19 it is possible to observe the variation of the
inverter output voltage and current together with the DC-DC converter bus voltage. In
Figure 20, 21, 22, 23 and 24, the efficiency curves of the push-pull converter measured with
an RL load are given. A maximum efficiency above 93% has been measured at nominal
input voltage and 640 W output power. The minimum value of efficiency has been tested
under low load and maximum input voltage. In Figure 25, the efficiency of the whole board is
shown. The efficiency tests have been carried out connecting an RL load at the inverter
output connectors, with 3 mH output inductor.

Conclusion
The theoretical analysis, design and implementation of a DC-AC converter, consisting of a
push-pull DC-DC stage and a full-bridge inverter circuit, have been evaluated. Due to the
use of the parallel connection of three STP160N75F3 MOSFETs the converter shows good
performance in terms of efficiency. Moreover the use of an ST7lite39 8-bit microcontroller
allows achieving simple control of the IGBTs used to implement the DC-AC stage. Any
additional feature, such as regulation of the AC output voltage or protection requirements,
can simply be achieved with firmware development.
