MOS-FET as a Current Sensor in Power Electronics Converters

This paper presents a current sensing principle appropriate for use in power electronics' converters. This current measurement principle has been developed for metal oxide semiconductor field effect transistor (MOS-FET) and is based on U(DS) voltage measurement. In practice, shunt resistors and Hall effect sensors are usually used for these purposes, but the presented principle has many advanta...

An improved automotive power distribution system using nonlinear resonant switch converters - Power Electronics, IEEE Transactions on

Insertion of a dc-dc converter between the automobile battery and electrical loads is proposed. This would allow gradual conversion to higher battery voltage, regulation of dc distribution voltage, and multiple distribution voltage levels. Switching loss arising from parasitic inductances is a serious problem in this application. The nonlinear resonant switch can remove this source of loss, ach...

A User-Friendly Application- Based Design Aid Tool for Power Electronics Converters

ExEcutIvE Summary Power electronics and its related subjects are well-known difficult to understand especially for students taking them for first time. This is due to nature of the subjects which involve many areas and disciplines. The introduction of general-purpose simulation package has helped the student a step further in understanding this subject. However, because of the generality of the...

Nonlinear-Carrier Control for High-Power-Factor Rectifiers Based on Up~Down Switching Converters - Power Electronics, IEEE Transactions on

In this paper, nonlinear-carrier (NLC) control is proposed for high-power-factor rectifiers based on flyback, Ćuk, Sepic, and other up–down converters operated in the continuous conduction mode (CCM). In the NLC controller, the switch duty ratio is determined by comparing a signal proportional to the integral of the switch current with a periodic nonlinearcarrier waveform. The shape of the NLC ...
