1 This work is supported by Philips Research, Briarcliff Manor, NY, through Colorado Power Electronics Center Abstract – In converters for power-factor-correction (PFC), universal-input capability (ability to operate from any AC line voltage, world-wide) comes with a heavy price in terms of component stresses and losses, size of components, and restrictions on the output DC voltage. A new two-s...

This paper presents a DSP based digital control design and implementation of a high frequency dc-dc switching power supply. Starting with a dc-dc buck converter and a given set of performance specifications, different control blocks and parameters, used as in the analog control design approach, are reviewed prior to the control design in digital domain. The control loop is then analyzed and the...

In this work, a zero static error proportional controller for a two-cell DC-DC buck converter is synthesized and analyzed. Under a traditional proportional control scheme, the system presents a constant error of the current supplying the output load. As the proportional feedback gain is increased, the average static error decreases. However, sub-harmonic oscillations and chaotic behavior emerge...

Nonlinear systems, such as switching DC-DC boost or buck converters, have rich dynamics. A simple one-dimensional discrete-time model is used to analyze the boost or buck converter in discontinuous conduction mode. Seven different control schemes (open-loop power stage, voltage mode control, current mode control, constant power load, constant current load, constanton-time control, and boundary ...

This paper presents first an overview of the wellknown voltage and current dc-link converter topologies used to implement a three-phase PWM ac–ac converter system. Starting from the voltage source inverter and the current source rectifier, the basics of space vector modulation are summarized. Based on that, the topology of the indirect matrix converter (IMC) and its modulation are gradually dev...

Dc-dc power converters are employed in a variety of applications, including power supplies for personal computers, office equipment, spacecraft power systems, laptop computers, and telecommunications equipment, as well as dc motor drives. The input to a dc-dc converter is an unregulated dc voltage Vg. The converter produces a regulated output voltage V, having a magnitude (and possibly polarity...

A novel integrated single-inductor dual-output (SIDO) buck converter with peak current common-mode and the two output voltage ripples comparison differential-mode control method in continuous conduction mode is presented. The system can use only one inductor to provide two independent output voltages, 1.2V and 1.8V, with a maximum total output current 460mA. The proposed converter has been fabr...

The flyback-flyback single stage converter operated in DCM+DCM is easy to control bus voltage, but it hard to control stress of switch. We propose a new converter having low voltage stress on its switch. The flyback converter is simplified into buck-boost form. Then the PFC flyback transformer is replaced by an inductor The switch of both PFC and DC/DC stages are merged, and a diode is used to ...

This paper reports on SiC devices operating in a dc-dc buck converter under extremely high ambient temperatures. To this end, the authors packaged SiC JFET and Schottky diodes in thermally stable packages and built a high-temperature inductor. The converter was tested at ambient temperatures up to 400◦C. Although the conduction loss of the SiC JFET increases slightly with increasing temperature...
