SUGGESTED LAYOUT P961.A (07/25) PulseElectronics.com 1 Power Transformers _PTLA Series LLC Transformer_ ## **Application** ## **PM9525NL** The benefits of the LLC topology for multi-KW On Board Charger (OBC) applications are well understood, with the resonant inductor facilitating zero volt switching operation. The LLC transformer primary side leakage inductance (Lk_prim) can replace the need for a discrete external resonant inductor (Lext) if the value can be correctly sized and with the required tight tolerance. However, what is less understood is that the measured primary winding leakage inductance (primary inductance with secondary winding shorted) is a combination of LK_prim and the secondary side leakage inductance (Lk_sec) reflected on the primary side. So all of this measured leakage inductance is not available as primary side resonant inductance Figure 1 - Transformer Model including leakage inductance, and measure primary winding leakage inductance with secondary side leakage inductance reflected on primary side. PM9525NL implements a novel winding construction where the flux generated by the primary winding induction is loosely coupled with the secondary winding (i.e. high leakage inductance) while the flux generated by the secondary winding induction is tightly coupled with the primary winding (i.e. low leakage inductance) This is illustrated by the following simulation of the flux primary and secondary flux linkage, with the secondary winding occupying the centre winding segment over the air gap. The air gap provides a reluctance to the primary winding flux (outer winding segments) linking with the secondary winding. Figure 2 - Finite Element Modelling of the primary and secondary flux paths P961.A (07/25) PulseElectronics.com 2 Power Transformers _PTLA Series LLC Transformer_ **Application** ## **PM9525NL** Based on the following measured inductance values - Primary Inductance, Secondary Open (Lso) - Primary Inductance, Secondary Shorted (Lss) - Secondary inductance, Primary Open Lpo Magnetising inductance (Lm), Lk_prim and Lk_Sec can be calculated as follows - Lm = SQRT ((Lso-Lss) x Lpo/N[2] ) - Lk_prim = Lso – Lm - Lk_sec = Lpo - Lm x N[2] Of the 6.5uH measured primary winding leakage inductance on one PM9525NL sample, 6.48uH is calculated as primary side leakage inductance while just 0.04uH is calculated as secondary side leakage inductance. Therefore practically all of the 6.4uH ± 8% specified primary winding leakage inductance is available for the resonant circuit. **==> picture [434 x 93] intentionally omitted <==** **----- Start of picture text -----**
