At the 3rd step of the PSFB cycle, the current at the secondary is not shared equally by the two windings that it would be if it were a full bridge. Does anyone can explain why it is not the case ? And why only the variation of the two output current is shared by the two windings ? I am not sure that the sign of the following pictures are correct. It should be Iout - deltaIout/2 and - deltaIout/2 as no energy is being transfered. I probably do an error ?

The same appears from this diagram :

This one seems to be better for the same architecture :

Have a nice day ,

Well I have not still find the answer but by documenting my self I found something well weird :

Here is the simulation that "A concerned citizen" have done. (Thank you). It is a bit modified according to my needs and we clearly see a negative current :

enter image description here

enter image description here

Then I was looking something else and I found this comment on the video (linked below) ...

enter image description here

It seems to be pretty complicated to avoid a negative current with SR ... And I think it is right that it can do a voltage spike as there is no way for the current to go ... There is nothing to limit the rise of voltage when the current is negative...

I am probably missing something...

Here is the last simulation :

  • \$\begingroup\$ @aconcernedcitizen. Thank you for your simulation ! Could you please send it ? I will be really happy to better understand how you simulate a phase shift "controller". Then there is still a question why the current is not shared equally by the two winding ? Why each windings have just not "(Iout+deltaIout)/2" current value ? \$\endgroup\$

  • \$\begingroup\$ There is also something which troubles me. It exists some PSFB without "syncrhonous" rectification at the secondaries, so when there are diodes instead of MOSFET/GaN how can the current be negative ? \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @Jess The main reason is explained in the help (LTspice > Circuit Elements > E. ..., bottom note). In addition, I vaguely recall (can't remember where) that, due to the modified nodal analysis of LTspice, voltage sources that are off ground may cause problems (something about matrix inversion? I really can't remember). So the floating drivers should be better behaved. That's not to say all voltage sources are cursed, just that I'm playing it safe. The more complicated the circuit, the more chances there are that something will run amok -- no need for me to help that. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 27, 2022 at 18:29

\$\begingroup\$

(I need to make this an answer, to justify the copy-paste). You were right, congratulations for the detective eyes! Given the folow-up comments, I've added a separate section with diode rectification, and the plot shows the main difference between them. The missing bits to the right are the same as the middle part; it's just copy-paste:

phase-shifted SMPS

I've also made a 3rd section with MOSFETs (and reduced load/supply; not shown in the picture above), which shows the same negative current in the rectification. There are some side effects, too, such as oscillating output (the MOSFETs have parasitics, the VCSW don't), high frequency oscillations (same parasitics + the coupling is not 1), but the overall shape is there. Here is the whole thing, sorry for the aspect, but it was cropped in a haste, and updated in a similar manner. The lines will make all the difference, I'm sure...

    \$\begingroup\$ Thank you so much ! I will take a look on it tomorrow :D I am wondering what is the man underneath "a concerned citizen". But you could answer : " This is not who I am underneath that defines me ... But what I do...." youtube.com/watch?v=WW1a_cNKapY. There is still the question : Why each windings have just not "(Iout+deltaIout)/2" current value ? I wil probably find the answer into your simulation :) \$\endgroup\$

    \$\begingroup\$ @Jess I have to confess that these beasts are new to me, and if I change values on the load side RLC, the VCSW and the MOSFET versions show results that differ in certain areas. What you say seems to be true for the diode rectification. I'll try to read and poke around some more. And underneath me is my neighbour, I'll send your regards... \$\endgroup\$ Commented Jan 26, 2022 at 19:12

    \$\begingroup\$ I don't know what else to say, since no other answer came up, but I'm hoping you realize you're not looking where you need to look. In your 1st picture after edit (LTspice sim) the cursors are at the end, when the body diode conducts, but the 2nd picture you're showing below, from TI, with the yellow marks, points at the beginning (follow the arrow). That part that is zoomed in, pointed at with the 2nd arrow, shows that inverse conduction, where your cursors are, and they're due to the overlapping controls of the SR. \$\endgroup\$ Commented Feb 3, 2022 at 18:58
