Analysis and Design of High-Frequency Converter With Resistive Matching Network and Spiral Inductor

Abstract

In this paper, two resistive matching networks are proposed, which can maintain the resistive transferring property under different load conditions. The high-frequency converter based on the resistive network can adequately achieve the soft-switching characteristics within a large load variation range, which helps to reduce switching losses and improve system efficiency. At the same time, a detailed design method for planar spiral inductor is described. In addition, the quality factor characteristics of different winding structures are analyzed. A 20-MHz high-frequency dc/dc converter based on the T-type matching network and circular spiral inductor is designed in this paper. The experimental results verify the advantages of the proposed resistive matching network and spiral inductor.
