15.2.3.9 Controlling Zero Voltage Switched Full Bridge (ZVSFB) Converter
The example given in Figure 15-68 assumes a static or constant phase relationship between legs
(modules). In such a case, control is achieved by modulating the duty cycle. It is also possible to
dynamically change the phase value on a cycle-by-cycle basis. This feature lends itself to controlling a
class of power topologies known as phase-shifted full bridge, or zero voltage switched full bridge. Here the
controlled parameter is not duty cycle (this is kept constant at approximately 50 percent); instead it is the
phase relationship between legs. Such a system can be implemented by allocating the resources of two
PWM modules to control a single power stage, which in turn requires control of four switching elements.
Figure 15-69 shows a master/slave module combination synchronized together to control a full H-bridge.
In this case, both master and slave modules are required to switch at the same PWM frequency. The
phase is controlled by using the slave's phase register (TBPHS). The master's phase register is not used
and therefore can be initialized to zero.
