“Shoot-through” in Synchronous Buck Converters
نویسنده
چکیده
The synchronous buck circuit is in widespread use to provide “point of use” high current, low voltage power for CPU’s, chipsets, peripherals etc. In the synchronous buck converter, the power stage has a “high-side” (Q1 below) MOSFET to charge the inductor, and a “Low-side” MOSFET which replaces a conventional buck regulator’s “catch diode” to provide a low-loss recirculation path for the inductor current.

متن کاملA New Structure of Buck-Boost Z-Source Converter Based on Z-H Converter
In this paper, a new structure for buck-boost Z-source converter based on Z-H topology is proposed. The proposed converter consists of two LC networks similar to the conventional Z-source and Z-H converters. One of the characteristics of the proposed structure is that, without any changing in its’ power circuit, it can be used in different conversions such as dc/dc, dc/ac and ac/ac. This unique...
متن کاملA High Efficiency Low-Voltage Soft Switching DC–DC Converter for Portable Applications
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...
متن کاملAdaptive Nonlinear Control of Multiphase Synchronous Buck Power Converters
The problem of controlling multiphase synchronous buck power converters is considered. The aim is to regulate the output voltage of the converter and to ensure an adequate current sharing between its different channels. The control law is designed from the large-signal bilinear model (of the whole multichannels converter) using the backstepping technique. The obtained regulator is shown to meet...
متن کاملPassivity-Based Control of the DC-DC Buck Converters in High-Power Applications
In this paper, a novel approach for control of the DC-DC buck converter in high-power and low-voltage applications is proposed. Designed method is developed according to passivity based controller which is able to stabilize output voltage in a wide range of operation. It is clear that in high-power applications, parasitic elements of the converter may become comparable with load value and hence...
