DC-DC converters are switched power converters. They are used to convert one DC voltage to another DC voltage. It is inordinately used in industry as well as in research. The model of converter system varies from the ON state to the OFF state. The major drawback of the boost converter is the uncontrolled supply of voltage and current. So initially a convectional PID controller is designed to re...

This paper proposes a high voltage ratio and low ripple interleaved boost DC-DC converter, which can be used to reduce the output voltage ripple. This converter transfers the low DC voltage of fuel cell to high DC voltage in DC link. The structure of the converter is parallel with two voltage-doublers boost converters by interleaving their output voltages to reduce the voltage ripple ratio. Bes...

A non-isolated DC/DC converter with high transfer gain is proposed in this paper. The presented converter consists of the switched inductor and three-level converters. The DC/DC power converter is three-level boost converter to convert the output voltage of the DC source into two voltage sources.

In this paper an efficient high step-up converter with a coupled- inductor with soft- switching operation is presented. The proposed topology includes a coupled-inductor boost converter for raising the voltage gain. Moreover, a simple auxiliary resonant circuit composed of an auxiliary switch, a clamping diode and a resonant tank (inductor, capacitor), is adopted in this paper. The coupled-indu...

This paper provides design and implementation of a DC-DC boost converter control system by using gain scheduling PI-controller to achieve stable regulated output voltage with improved dynamic performance. The proposed controller parameters are obtained from system output response based on step input signal. A test step input is applied to the system and the three parameters of the plant are obt...

Abstract – Resonant parametric perturbation (RPP) method is an effective non-feedback method for controlling chaos. In this paper, the above method is applied for the current programmed buck-boost dc-dc converter which exhibits chaotic for wide parameter variations. The different possible operating regimes leading to chaotic operation of the current mode controlled buck-boost converter is discu...

The DS1875 features a pulse-width modulation (PWM) controller that can be used to control a DC-DC converter. The DC-DC converter can then be used to generate the high bias voltages necessary for avalanche photodiodes (APDs). This application note describes the operation of a boost converter that uses the DS1875. Discussion covers the selection of the inductor and switching frequency, and the se...

This paper presents the development of a DC-DC boost converter. In the proposed boost converter design, a passive regenerative snubber circuit is included to absorb the energy of stray inductance so as to reduce the IGBT switching losses. MATLAB simulation as well as an experiment results are conducted to validate the proposed device. The results show that the proposed boost converter design gi...
