This paper describes a power loss analysis of a proposed tapped-inductor buck converter which suitable for home DC power supply system. A laboratory prototype of a coin size (34mm × 26mm × 5mm) with DC 48V input to 1.2V/30A output was built and tested to verify the accuracy of the loss analysis. As a result, about 90% efficiency under middle and heavy load region can be achieved at 500kHz switching...
This paper presents a new control technique for a digitally controlled buck converter. In the proposed method predictive PID control is employed in order to improve transient response and margin of stability. The application of the proposed method is demonstrated for the prototype buck converter. The frequency response is discussed and the transient response is examined to confirm the performance...
This paper discusses suitability of a novel tapped-inductor converter for home DC power supply system. Advantages such as high efficiency, compact size, low cost and high reliability are achieved by the characteristics like the buck converter. A laboratory prototype of a coin size (34mm × 26mm × 5mm), which can convert the voltage from 48V input to 1.2V/30A output, was tested. As a result, maximum...
In order to reduce power consumption of electronic equipment in stand-by mode, idle-mode and sleep-mode, a simple efficiency improvement technique for switching regulator in light load region is proposed. During the light load, small switching elements in a MOSFET driver circuit are used instead of switching elements in a main regulator circuit to reduce switching and driving losses. Of course, during...
This paper presents a constant frequency hysteretic PWM controlled buck converter. In order to have good transient responses for input voltage and load current changes, a new PWM control method with inherent derivative characteristics is proposed. The proposed PWM controller consists of a comparator, a simple RC network and operational amplifier, and it can be synchronized with an external clock signal...
This paper presents a new control method for H-bridge buck-boost converter regulated by single voltage feedback and dual feedforward controls. This converter has two pairs of the switch, one acts as a synchronous buck and another as a synchronous boost operations, and therefore is suited for battery powered applications to provide an output voltage that is below or above the input voltage. In order...
The hysteretic PWM control method is one of the fastest control technique for the dynamic response of switching power converters. This paper proposes a practical and robust hysteretic PWM control method by employing an additional capacitor in a comparator circuit. This additional capacitor has a role to enlarge the initial hysteretic window voltage just after turn-on and turn-off of the switching...
In order to have a power supply with high voltage conversion ratio for low voltage and high current digital ICs, this paper presents a new two stage converter combined with a coupling capacitor. A bottom switch of the first stage is removed and the switching nodes of the first stage and the second stage are coupled together by the coupling capacitor. The steady state analysis is performed and the...
A derivative PWM control method with constant switching frequency strong against incoming switching noise is proposed. The triangular voltage obtained from a simple RC network as a comparator input is employed to determine the duty ratio and an external clock signal is used to fix the switching frequency. Applying the proposed method to the buck converter, excellent dynamic performances and stable...
A partial-resonant tapped-inductor converter with an auxiliary switch is proposed. The circuit construction is the same as a conventional tapped-inductor converter with active clamp circuit, but the drive timing for the auxiliary switch is different from the conventional one. As a result the output stability is improved as compared with the conventional active clamp one. Furthermore, zero current...
Analytical and experimental considerations on the large-signal transient-responses of the buck-type switching regulator are described. The behavior under the large-signal operation is defferent from the case of small signal because of the satulation characteristics of the PWM feedback controller. The effect of this nonlinearity is analyzed by deviding its operation into three modes. As a result, the...
