1-kW: 80+ titanium: GaN CCM totem pole bridgeless PFC and half-bridge LLC with LFU reference design
Description
This reference design is a digitally controlled: compact 1-kW AC/DC power supply design for server power supply unit (PSU) and telecom rectifier applications. The highly efficient design supports two main power stages: including a front-end continuous conduction mode (CCM) totem-pole bridgeless power factor correction (PFC) stage. The PFC stage features LMG341x GaN FET with integrated driver to provide enhanced efficiency across a wide load range and meet 80-plus titanium requirements. The design also supports a half-bridge LLC isolated DC/DC stage to achieve a +12-V DC output at 1-kW. Two control cards use C2000™ Piccolo™ microcontrollers to control both power stages.
