of 105 kV/μs for 390 V poses serious challenges for SR using extra circuit sensing high frequency signal of drain-to-source voltage method. A digital SR algorithm based on charge conservation is proposed, which deduces the SR on-time by calculating the time of current flowing the SR MOSFET junction capacitor. The proposed SR requires no additional detection circuit, which effectively avoids the effect of high

and minimizes the SR conduction loss to improve the efficiency. Furthermore, in high-output current applications, printed circuit board (PCB) planar transformers face problems of huge winding loss and limited winding current-carrying capacity. A design is proposed for planar transformer using secondary-parallel multiple interleaved copper foil winding. To diminish DC resistance, the secondary side of the transformer is connected in parallel with three copper foil layers. Additionally, the primary and secondary windings are interleaved to achieve lower AC resistance. A 1.5-kW GaN LLC prototype is built with 650 kHz resonant frequency. The LLC power density is 524 W/in

and the efficiency is up to 98% with 28 V/53.5 A output at full load.
