Period doubling bifurcation in buck converters is studied by using the harmonic balance method. A simple dynamic model of a buck converter in continuous conduction mode under voltage mode or current mode control is derived. This model consists of the feedback connection of a linear system and a nonlinear one. An exact harmonic balance analysis is used to obtain a necessary and sufficient condit...

This paper presents the system for evaluation of a depletion-mode silicon carbide (SiC) power junction field-effect transistor (JFET). The main part of the system is a dc-dc step-down converter which simulates realistic operating conditions of switching devices in a synchronous buck configuration.

This paper studies two kinds of simple switched dynamical systems with piecewise constant characteristics. The first one is based on the single buck converter whose periodic/chaotic dynamics are analyzed precisely using the piecewise linear phase map. The second one is based on a paralleled system of the buck converters for lower voltages with higher current capabilities. Referring to the resul...

this paper presents a novel control method to improve the efficiency of low-voltage dc-dc converters at light loads. pulse width modulation (pwm) converters have poor efficiencies at light loads, while pulse frequency modulation (pfm) control is more efficient for the same cases. switching losses constitute a major portion of the total power loss at light loads. to decrease the switching losses...

The boost topology is the most popular topology used in power factor correction circuits. The efficiency and performance of the boost converter depends on the switching frequency affecting the switching losses. At high frequency operations the switching losses of the converter is considerable and decreases the efficiency of the converter. To remove this problem the converter is designed to oper...
