Multiple output DC-DC converters are widely used in many applications such as aerospace, industrial and medical equipments. The purpose of this paper is to present an intelligent control system for the multiple output DC-DC converters. In order to perform this purpose, a double ended forward DC-DC converter with three output voltages (+5 V/ 50W, +15 V/ 45W and -15 V/ 15W) is considered and anal...

Multiple-output DC–DC converters are essential in a multitude of applications where different DC output voltages required. The interest and importance this type multiport configuration is also reflected that many electronics manufacturers currently develop integrated solutions. Traditionally, the required obtained by means transformer with several windings, which addition to providing electrica...

This chapter deals with the design methodologies to obtain DC-DC converters with multiple outputs and only one inductor. The four possible schemes, buck, boost, and inverting or noninverting buck-boost, are considered. The key specific problems related to the issue are the inductor current switching scheme, the multiple-loops control, the suitable driving of power switches and, accordingly, the...

This paper proposes a minimal switching multiple input multilevel output (MS-MIMLO) DC-DC converter. Minimizing the cost of operation is an utmost priority any electric circuit design. Thus, reduction number switches that control and manage feeding power into MIMLO convertors presented. The proposed MS-MIMLO converter exerts many advantages, include high voltage transfer ratio with small size i...

Emerging feature dense portable microelectronic devices pose several challenges, including demanding multiple supply voltages from a single miniaturized power-efficient platform. Unfortunately, the power inductors used in magnetic-based switching converters (which are power efficient) are bulky and difficult to integrate. As a result, single-inductor–multiple-output (SIMO) solutions enjoy popul...

The last few years, a considerable number of studies have been made on a digital control. One reason is that this technique will lead to a future energy management and system integration. At a first step, it may be helpful to begin with a study of the design criterion of the digital control. Although studies have been made on the digital unique characteristics, there is little agreement on the ...
