Topological Comparison of Dual-Input DC-DC Converters

Received Feb 3, 2017 Revised Mar 18, 2017 Accepted May 5, 2017 Dual input dc-dc converters have two input voltage sources or one input source and an energy storage system like ultra capacitor, PV, battery, super capacitors and a single output load. In order to process the power in hybrid energy systems using reduced part count, researchers have proposed several multi-input dc-dc power converter...

Modeling, Simulation and Design of Input Filter for Matrix Converters

In this paper modeling, computer simulation, design approach and analysis for matrix converters input filter are presented. This filter design procedure makes possible to achieve the required EMI attenuation, the desired power factor and a high efficiency with a significant filter size reduction and minimum cost components. Also it is presented analyses of the main parameters correlated with ra...

Physical Origins of Input Filter Oscillations in Current Programmed Converters

Addition of an input filter to a current-programmed converter can cause the controller to oscillate. Two instability mechanisms can typically occur: 1) the current programmed controller effective current feedback loop may become unstable, or 2) the controller effective input voltage feed forward loop, which becomes a positive feedback loop when an input filter is added, may oscillate. Design cr...

Input-Dependent Integral Nonlinearity Modeling for Pipelined Analog-Digital Converters

Integral nonlinearity (INL) for pipelined analog– digital converters (ADCs) operating at RF is measured and characterized. A parametric model for the INL of pipelined ADCs is proposed, and the corresponding least-squares problem is formulated and solved. The INL is modeled both with respect to the converter output code and the frequency stimuli, which is dynamic modeling. The INL model contains...
