| Popis: | Data centers are increasing in number and size at astounding rates, while operational cost, thermal management, size, and performance continue to be the driving metrics for the power subsystems in the associated computing equipment. This paper presents a SiC-based phase-shifted full bridge (PSFB) converter designed for 10kW output power and targeted at data center applications. The design approach focused on tuning of the converter efficiency and minimizing the thermal management system, resulting in a high-density converter. A unique thermal management system has also been employed, resulting in both increased power density and better thermal management. In this paper, the implementation of this converter is described in detail, along with empirical results, both electrical and thermal. |
