International audienceIn this paper, a 2.5-kW 330–410-V/14-V, 250-kHz dc/dc converter prototype is developed targeted for electric ve-hicle/hybrid vehicle applications. Benefiting from numerous ad-vantages brought by the LLC resonant topology, this converter is able to perform high efficiency, high power density, and low EMI. To arrange high-output current, this paper proposes a parallel-connected LLC structure with developed novel double-loop control to realize an equal current distribution and an overall efficiency improvement. Considering the LLC cell's dimensioning, this paper establishes a more precise model by taking the secondary leak-age inductance into consideration. System amelioration and design considerations of the developed LLC are also presented in this pa-per. A special transformer is presented, and various types of power losses are quantified to improve its efficiency. This converter also implements synchronous rectification, power semiconductor mod-ule, and an air-cooling system. The power conversion performance of this prototype is measured and the developed prototype attains a peak efficiency of 95% and efficiency is higher than 94% from 500 W to 2 kW, with a power density of 1 W/cm 3 . Finally, the EMC results of this prototype are also measured and presented

International audienceElectric vehicles (EVs) use grid power to charge their batteries. Because the battery is charged only when the car is parked -except for regeneration at braking-, using the on-board traction system components to form an integrated charging device is made possible. This paper presents a review of on-board integrated EV chargers and design criteria. It is aimed at presenting a state of the art on the integrated chargers to researchers, designers, and engineers. A classified list of around 70 research articles is also appended for a quick reference
