Automotive OBC

Scheme Description


Against the backdrop of the booming new‑energy vehicle industry, the on‑board charger (OBC) serves as a core power‑conversion device that bridges the grid and the traction battery. Its power density, conversion efficiency, and bidirectional energy‑exchange capabilities have become key metrics for evaluating overall vehicle performance. Modern OBC systems typically employ a two‑stage cascaded AC/DC–DC/DC architecture, supporting bidirectional energy‑interaction functions such as V2G (vehicle‑to‑grid) and V2L (vehicle‑to‑load), thereby enabling a leap‑forward evolution from “unidirectional charging” to “energy‑interactive operation.”

Guangxin Chuangyu SiC Power Device Solutions:

To meet the high‑voltage, high‑frequency, and high‑efficiency requirements of OBC applications, Guangxin Chuangyu offers a full‑range portfolio of 650 V and 1200 V SiC MOSFETs, covering the critical power‑device positions in both bidirectional totem‑pole PFCs and three‑phase interleaved CLLC resonant two‑stage converters, thereby providing highly reliable, high‑efficiency power‑management solutions for the entire vehicle.

 

I. Topology Diagram Analysis: Application Locations of SiC Devices

Level 1: Bidirectional Totem-Pole Converter (AC/DC Stage)

Topological location Device Type Function Description
High-frequency bridge arm switching devices (S1/S2) SiC MOSFET The high-frequency bridge arm of the totem-pole PFC achieves sinusoidal grid-side current and unity power factor control, while the ultra-fast switching speed of SiC MOSFETs significantly reduces switching losses.
Power-frequency bridge arm switching devices (S3/S4) SiC MOSFET The line-frequency bridge arms that constitute the totem-pole PFC enable current path switching, while the low on-resistance of the SiC MOSFETs reduces conduction losses.
Boost inductor (L) — Energy storage and filtering, combined with a high-frequency bridge arm, enable boost conversion.
Output bus capacitor (Cbus) — Stabilizes the high-voltage DC bus voltage, providing a steady input to the downstream DC‑DC converter.
Topological advantage:
The bidirectional totem-pole PFC replaces the conventional diode rectifier bridge with SiC MOSFETs, significantly reducing conduction and reverse-recovery losses while enabling bidirectional power flow, thereby laying the groundwork for V2G and V2L functionalities.

 

Level 2: Three-phase Interleaved CLLC Resonant Converter (DC/DC Stage)

Topological location Device Type Function Description
Primary-side full-bridge switching transistors (Q1–Q6, three-phase) SiC MOSFET It constitutes a three-phase interleaved full-bridge inverter, converting high‑voltage DC into high‑frequency AC to drive the primary side of the transformer. The fast switching of SiC MOSFETs, combined with their excellent body diode characteristics, ensures ZVS soft switching.
Primary-side resonant network (Lr/Cr/Lm) — It forms the CLLC resonant cavity, enabling zero-voltage switching (ZVS) for the primary-side switch and zero-current switching (ZCS) for the secondary-side rectifier.
High-frequency transformers (T1/T2/T3, three-phase) — Achieves electrical isolation and voltage matching; the three-phase interleaved topology reduces input/output current ripple.
Secondary-side full-bridge switching transistors (Q7–Q12, three-phase) SiC MOSFET It constitutes a full-bridge rectifier/inverter on the secondary side, converting the high-frequency AC from the transformer’s secondary winding into DC and enabling bidirectional energy flow.
Output filter capacitor (Co) — Smooths the DC output voltage, providing a stable charging voltage for the power battery.
Topological advantage:
The three-phase interleaved CLLC resonant topology effectively reduces input and output current ripple through interleaving while enabling zero-voltage switching (ZVS) and zero-current switching (ZCS) for both primary- and secondary-side switches, making it a key component for achieving high-efficiency power conversion in bidirectional on-board chargers.

 

II. The Core Value of SiC Devices in On-Board Chargers

Higher Efficiency: The SiC MOSFET’s extremely low on-resistance and gate charge, combined with its excellent body‑diode reverse‑recovery characteristics, significantly reduces losses in both the totem‑pole PFC stage and the CLLC resonant stage, boosting the OBC’s overall efficiency (up to 96%+) and shortening charging times.

Higher power density: Supports higher switching frequencies, effectively reducing the size of PFC inductors, CLLC resonant components, and transformers, thereby enabling compact, lightweight OBC designs that meet the demands of tight automotive spaces.

Lower EMI: The SiC MOSFET’s excellent body‑diode reverse‑recovery characteristics and fast switching speed reduce oscillations and voltage spikes during switching, resulting in improved system EMI performance and simplifying filter circuit design.

Higher Reliability: SiC materials can withstand higher junction operating temperatures (175°C+), delivering more stable performance in harsh automotive environments characterized by high temperatures and vibration, thereby extending the service life of the OBC.

Bidirectional Power Exchange: The fast switching and low-loss characteristics of SiC MOSFETs perfectly support bidirectional power flow across the entire G2V (Grid-to-Vehicle), V2G (Vehicle-to-Grid), and V2L (Vehicle-to-Load) chain.

 

III. Summary of the Plan’s Value

Dimension Traditional silicon-based solution Guangxin Chuangyu SiC Solution
Efficiency Efficiency improvements are difficult, and losses are significant. Efficiency can exceed 96%, reducing charging time.
Frequency Typically <50 kHz Supports higher frequencies, with reduced magnetic component size.
EMI Requires a complex absorption circuit. The SiC MOSFET’s body diode exhibits excellent characteristics, with even better EMI performance.
Temperature rise Significant heat generation, requiring a large heatsink. Low losses, low temperature rise, and simplified heat dissipation.
Reliability Performance degradation at high temperatures Stable operation at 175°C+, suitable for harsh automotive environments.
Two-way functionality Bidirectional implementation is complex and inefficient. Naturally supports bidirectional energy flow across the entire G2V/V2G/V2L value chain.
