AbstractIn this paper, a phase shifted semi-bridgeless boost
power factor corrected converter is proposed for plug in
hybrid electric vehicle battery chargers. The converter features
high efficiency at light loads and low lines, which is critical to
minimize the charger size, charging time and the amount and
cost of electricity drawn from the utility; the component count,
which reduces the charger cost; and reduced EMI. The
converter is ideally suited for automotive level I residential
charging applications.
A detailed converter description and steady state operation
analysis of this converter is presented. Experimental results of
a prototype boost converter, converting universal AC input
voltage to 400 V DC at 3.4 kW are given and the results are
compared to an interleaved boost converter to verify the proof
of concept, and analytical work reported. The results show a
power factor greater than 0.99 from 750 W to 3.4 kW, THD
less than 5% from half load to full load and a peak efficiency of
98.6 % at 240 V input and 1000 W load.
I. INTRODUCTION
A plug in hybrid electric vehicle (PHEV) is a hybrid
vehicle with a storage system that can be recharged by
connecting a plug to an external electric power source. The
charging AC outlet inevitably needs an on-board AC-DC
charger with power factor correction [1]. An on-board 3.4
kW charger could charge a depleted battery pack in PHEVs
to 95% charge in about four hours from a 240 V supply [2].
A variety of circuit topologies and control methods have
been developed for PHEV battery chargers. The two-stage
approach with cascaded PFC AC-DC and DC-DC converters
is the common architecture of choice for PHEV battery
chargers, where the power rating is relatively high, and
lithium-ion batteries are used as the main energy storage
system [3]. The single-stage approach is generally only
suitable for lead acid batteries due to large low frequency
ripple in the output current.
In the two-stage architecture, the PFC stage rectifies the
input AC voltage and transfers it into a regulated
intermediate DC link bus. At the same time, power factor
correction is achieved [4]. The boost circuit-based PFC
topology operated in CCM is employed in this study as the
main candidate for front end single-phase solutions for AC-
DC power factor corrected converters used in PHEV battery
chargers.
A. Conventional Boost Converter
The conventional boost topology shown in Fig.1 uses a
dedicated diode bridge to rectify the AC input voltage to DC,
which is then followed by the boost section. In this topology,
the output capacitor ripple current is very high [5] and is the
difference between diode current and the dc output current.
Furthermore, as the power level increases, the diode bridge
losses significantly degrade the efficiency, so dealing with
the heat dissipation in a limited area becomes problematic.
Due to these constraints, this topology is good for a low to
medium power range up to approximately 1kW. For power
levels >1kW, typically, designers parallel semiconductors in
order to deliver greater output power. The inductor volume
also becomes a problematic design issue at high power
because of permeability drops at higher load and heat
associated with core and copper losses.

B. Bridgeless Boost Converter
The bridgeless configuration topology shown in Fig.2
avoids the need for the rectifier input bridge yet maintains
the classic boost topology [6-13]. It is an attractive solution
for applications >1kW, where power density and efficiency
are important. The bridgeless boost converter solves the
problem of heat management in the input rectifier diode
bridge, but it introduces increased EMI [14, 15]. Another
disadvantage of this topology is the floating input line with
respect to the PFC stage ground, which makes it impossible
to sense the input voltage without a low frequency
transformer or an optical coupler. Also in order to sense the
input current, complex circuitry is needed to sense the
current in the MOSFET and diode paths separately, since the
current path does not share the same ground during each
half-line cycle [8, 16].

Figure 2. Bridgeless PFC boost topology
C. Interleaved Boost Cconverter
The interleaved boost converter shown in Fig.3 is simply
two boost converters in parallel operating 180 out of phase
[20-22]. The input current is the sum of the two inductor
currents. Because the inductors ripple currents are out of
phase, they tend to cancel each other and reduce the input
ripple current caused by the boost switching action. The
interleaved boost converter has the advantage of paralleled
semiconductors. Furthermore, by switching 180 out of
phase, it doubles the effective switching frequency and
introduces smaller input current ripple, so the input EMI
filter can be smaller [23-25]. This converter also has reduced
output capacitor high frequency ripple, but it still has the
problem of heat management for the input diode bridge
rectifiers.

Figure 3. Interleaved PFC boost topology
In the following section, a new phase shifted semi-
bridgeless boost PFC converter is proposed in order to
improve overall efficiency of the AC-DC PFC converter,
while maintaining all the advantages of the existing
solutions.
II. PHASE SHIFTED SEMI-BRIDGELESS BOOST TOPOLOGY
The phase shifted semi-bridgeless topology shown in
Fig.4 is proposed as a solution to address the problems
outlined in section I for the conventional boost, bridgeless
boost and interleaved boost topologies. This topology
features high efficiency at light loads and low lines, which is
critical to minimize the charger size, charging time and the
amount and cost of electricity drawn from the utility; the
component count, which reduces the charger cost; and
reduced EMI. The converter is ideally suited for automotive
level I residential charging applications in North America
where the typical supply is limited to 120V and 1.44kVA.
The proposed topology introduces two more slow diodes
(Da and Db) to the bridgeless configuration to link the
ground of the PFC to the input line. However, the current
does not always return through these diodes, so their
associated conduction losses are low. This occurs since the
inductors exhibit low impedance at the line frequency, a
large portion of the current flows through the FET intrinsic
body diodes. Also the gating signals for FETs are 180 out of
phase.
A detailed converter description and steady-state
operation analysis is given in the following section.

III. OPERATING PRINCIPLE AND STEADY-STATE
ANALYSIS
To analyze the circuit operation, the input line cycle has
been separated into the positive and negative half-cycles as
explained in sub-sections A and B that follow. In addition,
the detailed circuit operation depends on the duty cycle.
Positive half-cycle operation analysis is provided for D > 0.5
in sub-section C and D < 0.5 in sub-section D.
A. Positive Half-Cycle Operation
Referring to Fig. 4, during the positive half-cycle, when
the AC input voltage is positive, Q1 turns on and current
flows through L1 and Q1 and continues through Q2 and then
L2, returning to the line while storing energy in L1 and L2.
When Q1 turns off, energy stored in L1 and L2 is released as
current flows through D1, through the load and returns
through the body diode of Q2/partially through Db back to
the input.
B. Negative Half-Cycle Operation
Referring to Fig. 4, during the negative half-cycle, when
the AC input voltage is negative, Q2 turns on and current
flows through L2 and Q2 and continues through Q1 and then
L1, returning to the line while storing energy in L2 and L1.
When Q2 turns off, energy stored in L2 and L1 is released as
current flows through D2, through the load and returns split
between the body diode of Q1 and Da back to the input.
C. Detailed Positive Half-Cycle Operation and Analysis for
D > 0.5
The detailed operation of the proposed converter depends
on the duty cycle. During any half-cycle, the converter duty
cycle is either greater than 0.5 (when the input voltage is
smaller than half of output voltage) or smaller than 0.5
(when the input voltage is greater than half of output
voltage). The three unique operating interval circuits of the
proposed converter are provided in Fig. 5 to Fig. 7 for duty
cycles larger than 0.5 during the positive half-cycle.

Figure 5. Interval 1and 3: Q1 and Q2 are ON

Figure 6. Interval 2: Q1 ON, body diode of Q2 conducting

Figure 7. Interval 4: Q1 OFF and Q2 ON
Waveforms of the proposed converter during positive
half-cycle operation with D>0.5 are shown in Fig. 8. The
intervals of operation are explained as follows. In addition,
the ripple current components are derived, enabling
calculation of the input ripple current, which provides design
guidance to meet the required input current ripple standard.

The operation of converter during the negative input
voltage half-cycle is similar to the operation of converter
during the positive input voltage half-cycle.
IV. LOSS EVALUATION
The estimated loss distribution of the semiconductors is
provided in Fig. 13 at 70 kHz switching frequency, 240V
input and 3300W load for benchmark conventional boost and
interleaved boost converters and the proposed phase shifted
semi-bridgeless boost converter. The currents in regular
diodes Da and Db were assumed to be split with the current
going through intrinsic body diodes for phase shifted semi-
bridgeless topology. The regular diodes in input bridge
rectifiers have the largest share of losses among the
topologies with the input bridge rectifier. The phase shifted
semi-bridgeless topology nearly eliminates this large loss
component (~30W). However, the tradeoff is that the FET
losses are higher and the intrinsic body diodes of FETs
conduct, producing new losses (~8W). The fast diodes in the
conventional and interleaved PFC have slightly lower power
losses, since the boost RMS current is higher in these
topologies.

Figure 13. Comparison of the estimated loss distribution in the
semiconductors at 70kHz switching frequency, 240V input, 3300W load at
400V
Overall the FETs are under slightly more stress in phase
shifted semi-bridgeless topology, but the total loss for the
proposed phase shifted semi-bridgeless boost are 17% lower
than the benchmark conventional boost and 7% lower than
the interleaved boost . Since the benchmark converter bridge
rectifier losses are large, it is expected that phase shifted
semi-bridgeless boost converter should have the lowest
losses among the topologies investigated. Additionally, it is
noted that the losses in the input bridge rectifiers are 63% of
total losses in the conventional PFC converter and 71% of
total losses in the interleaved PFC converter. Therefore,
eliminating the input bridge in PFC converters is justified
despite that the introduction of new losses.

The experimental efficiency of the phase shifted
bridgeless boost converter and benchmark interleaved boost
converter is provided in Fig. 15 for 240V input and Fig. 17
for 120V input at 70 kHz switching frequency and 400 V
output. Loss reduction curves as a function of output power
are provided in Fig. 16 and Fig. 18 for 240V and 120V input,
respectively.

Figure 18. Loss reduction as a function of output power at Vin = 120V,
Vo=400V and 70kHz switching frequency
From the results, it is noted that proposed semi-bridgeless
PFC converter achieves a peak efficiency of 98.6% at 1 kW
output power. Additionally, the light load efficiency of the
proposed converter is significantly better than that of the
interleaved PFC due to the absence of input bridge rectifier.
However, as the load increases, the efficiency drops due to
additional heat dissipation in the intrinsic body diodes of the
FETs.

Figure 21. Harmonics orders at Vin = 120 V and 240V, compared against
EN61000-3-2 standard.
In order to verify the quality of the input current, the input
current THD is shown in Fig.19. The power factor and
harmonic orders are given and compared with EN 61000-3-2
standard in Fig.20 and 21. It is noted that mains current THD
is less than 5% from 50% load to full load and it is compliant
to IEC 6100-3-2 (Fig. 19 and Fig. 21). The converter power
factor is shown over entire load range for 120 and 240V
input in Fig. 20. The power factor is greater than 0.99 from
50% load to full load.
Experimental waveforms from the proposed converter
prototype are provided in Fig. 22 through Fig. 26. The input
current, input voltage and output voltage are given in Fig. 22.
As it can be seen, the input current is in phase with the input
voltage and has a sinusoidal shape. Additionally, there is a
low frequency ripple on output voltage, which is inversely
proportional to the value of PFC bus output capacitors.
In Fig. 23, the inductor current is provided in addition to
the above mentioned waveforms from Fig. 22. It is noted that
during the positive half-cycle, the inductor current is the
same as input current. However, during the negative half-
cycle, the input current is partially flowing through slow
diodes, Da and Db.

VI. CONCLUSIONS
A new high performance phase shifted semi-bridgeless
AC-DC Boost converter topology has been presented in this
paper for the front-end AC-DC converter in PHEV battery
chargers. The proposed converter features high efficiency at
light loads and low lines, which is critical to minimize the
charger size, charging time and the amount and cost of
electricity drawn from the utility; the component count,
which reduces the charger cost; and reduced EMI. The
converter is ideally suited for automotive level I residential
charging applications in North America where the typical
supply is limited to 120V and 1.44kVA.
An analysis and performance characteristics are presented.
A breadboard converter circuit has been built to verify the
proof-of-concept. The theoretical waveforms were compared
with the results taken from prototype unit. Additionally, key
experimental waveforms were provided and input current
harmonics at each harmonic order were compared more
explicitly with the IEC 6100-3-2 standard limits.
Experimental results demonstrate that the mains current
THD is smaller than 5% from 50% load to full load and the
converter is compliant with the IEC 6100-3-2 standard. The
converter power factor was also provided for full power
range at 120 and 240V input. The power factor is greater
than 0.99 from 50% load to full load. The proposed
converter achieves a peak efficiency of 98.6 % at 240 V
input and 1 kW output power.
