Phase-shifted full-bridge DC / DC converter has been widely applied in the middle and high-power converter,Soft-switching technology is introduced in the application in order to reduce the wear and tear, Which phase-shifted full-bridge zero-voltage switching converter has been widely used with its simple topology and small voltage and current stress of switching device, etc. The modeling analysis of DC / DC switching converter is basis of studying converter, it has great significance to DC / DC converter analysis and design. After the main circuit determined, the good controller is designed to DC / DC converter to compose of closed-loop control system in order to improve the output accuracy and dynamic characteristics. On the basis of phase-shifted full-bridge ZVS PWM converter proposed in this paper, all aspects of Control system is designed while the realization method of Voltage single-loop control and the simulation analysis of Current-mode dual-loop control are given.
2. The establishment and analysis of small-signal model of Phase-shifted full-bridge ZVS converter
Figure 1 is structure chart of the full-bridge DC / DC converter, On the assumption that power tube VT1-VT4 and rectifier diode DR1-DR2 are the ideal device, Switching frequency is much larger than the corner frequency of output filter disturbing signal arising from the dynamic process, Disturbing signal is much smaller than the steady-state volume, that is small-signal disturbance. An equivalent system has three independent input variables which are respectively control input d, voltage input ug and load current io. Output voltage u0 can be expressed as a linear combination of the above of variables (1), Its equivalent model shows in figure 2.

2.2.The small-signal model of Phase-shifted full-bridge ZVS converter
The loss of duty cycle is an obvious and important
phenomenon in Phase-shifted full-bridge ZVS converter,Converter achieves ZVS load range related the size of original leakage inductance of transformer,While the size of original-side current change rate is decided, Then the effective duty cycle size of transformer Vice-side and the system dynamic characteristics has been affected.
The effective duty cycle Deff of transformer Vice-side can be expressed as follows in Phase-shifted full-bridge ZVS converter:
DDDeff Δ−= (5) In formula (5),D is the size of duty cycle on the
grounds of decision of control signal, △ D is the loss of duty cycle. the loss of duty cycle can be expressed as follows :

In formula (6), n is a turns ratio of the both sides of the original-side and Vice-side oftransformer , Ug and U0 are respectively the input voltage and output voltage, Ts is the switching cycle, L is the inductor valueof output filter, Lr is the leakage inductance of the transformer, IL is current value the output filter inductor . So the effective duty cycle is as follows :

Formula (7) can be seen that D, U a and IL disturbance will produce Corresponding disturbance

Formula (8) can be seen that ^d 、
