Buck-boost DC–DC converters are useful as DC grid interfaces for renewable energy resources. In the classical buck-boost converter, output voltages smaller than input voltage (the buck region) observed duty cycles between 0 and 0.5. Several recent have been designed to present higher gains. Nevertheless, those topologies show a reduced duty-cycle range, leading in region, thus require use of ve...

Dc-dc power converters are employed in a variety of applications, including power supplies for personal computers, office equipment, spacecraft power systems, laptop computers, and telecommunications equipment, as well as dc motor drives. The input to a dc-dc converter is an unregulated dc voltage Vg. The converter produces a regulated output voltage V, having a magnitude (and possibly polarity...

The buck or step-down DC-DC converter is the workhorse switching power supply topology. It utilizes two switches (two FETS or one FET and one diode) along with an output inductor and output capacitor. Whether you look at a large computer server, a personal desktop or a laptop computer, a cell phone or a GPS unit all will contain a buck converter in one form or another. This paper will discuss t...

DC-DC converters have been applied to industrial applications widely during the past few decades. With rapid development of technology, negative output (N/O) dc-dc converters play an important role in the industrial fields, such as regenerative braking system (RBS) of DC motors for hybrid electric vehicles, signal generator and data transmission interface, neutral point clamping power electroni...

A CMOS Current-mode DC-DC converter using a quadratic slope compensation scheme is presented. The use of a quadratic slope instead of a conventional linear slope makes a damping factor and a frequency bandwidth of a current feedback loop independent of the converter’s output voltage. Further designing the coefficient of the quadratic slope to be fully dependent of the input voltage, the damping...

In this paper, a comparative analysis on the bifurcative and chaotic behaviour of a current controlled buckboost converter with soft switching and hard switching is performed. The electromagnetic interference generated during hard switching and soft switching of the converter is analyzed. Simulation and measured results show that the total energy is more evenly spread over the frequency band du...

This paper introduces a digitally performed current mode and voltage control for the dc-dc step down converter based on voltage to frequency converter where the average values of inductor current and output voltage are obtained. These current and voltage measurement are realized by the voltage control oscillator (VCO) and counters (digital integrator). Such an approach enables full digitalizati...

In this paper, a new transformerless buck-boost converter based on ZETA converter is introduced. The proposed converter has the ZETA converter advantages such as, buck-boost capability and input to output DC insulation. The suggested converter voltage gain is higher than the classic ZETA converter. In the presented converter, only one main switch is utilized. The proposed converter offers low v...

This paper introduces a bi-directional DC-DC converter with adaptive fuzzy logic controller (AFLC). Bi-directional power flow is obtained by the same power components and provides a simple, efficient, and galvanically isolated converter. In the presence of DC mains, the converter operates as buck converter, powers the down stream converter, and also charges the battery. When the DC mains fails,...
