Abstract

To achieve the highest possible grade for server or computer power supplies in terms of efficiency, various solutions for high line input already exist on the market. In this paper, a new topology is investigated closely, showing that the titanium grade may be achievable at low line input with traditional silicon devices by the utilization of low voltage mosfets, which have an excellent figure of merits, by connecting two converter stages in parallel for low line input or in series for high line input. This paper presents simulation results which are verified with measurements from a developed prototype for 1 kW of power and 12 V output consisting of a triangular current mode power factor correction followed by a well-known phase shifted zero voltage switched bridge. Furthermore, a detailed description of the loss estimation by simulation, enhanced with additional calculations, is presented.
