Analytical Model of Maximum Operating Frequency of Class-D ZVS Inverter with Linearized Parasitic Capacitance and any Duty Ratio

Abstract

This paper proposes an analytical model of maximum operating frequency of class-D zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) inverter. The model includes linearized drain-source parasitic capacitance and any duty ratio. The nonlinear drain-source parasitic capacitance is equally linearized through a charge-related equation. The model expresses the relationship among frequency, shunt capacitance, duty ratio, load impedance, output current phase, and DC input voltage under the ZVS condition. The analytical result shows that the maximum operating frequency under the ZVS condition can be obtained when the duty ratio, the output current phase, and the DC input voltage are set to optimal values. A 650V/30A SiC-MOSFET is utilized for both simulated and experimental verification, resulting in good consistency.
