The proposed zero-current switching switched-capacitor (ZCS SC) DC-DC converter is an innovative bi-directional power flow control conversion scheme. A zero-current switching switched-capacitor stepup/step-down bi-directional converter is presented that can improve the current stress problem during bi-directional power flow control processing. It can provide a high voltage conversion ratio of n...

DC-DC converters, common in battery-driven, portable, and other high-efficiency systems, can deliver efficiencies greater than 95% while boosting, reducing, or inverting supply voltages. Resistance in the power source is one of the most important factors that can limit efficiency. This application note describes the effects of source resistance, how to calculate efficiency, real-world considera...

This study presents a four-phase interleaved high voltage conversion ratio bidirectional DC-DC converter circuit based on coupled inductors and switched capacitors, which can eliminate the defects of conventional high voltage conversion ratio bidirectional DC-DC converters in terms of high-voltage/current stress, less efficiency and low-power limitation. Parallel channels are used to reduce cur...

Electrolytic capacitors are used in several applications ranging from power supplies on safety critical avionics equipment to power drivers for electromechanical actuators, and this makes them good candidates for prognostics and health management research. Prognostics provides a way to assess remaining useful life of components or systems based on their current state of health and their anticip...

Forward converters generally exhibit poor power factor when employing in the AC-DC conversion, due to the presence of zero input current near the zero crossing of line input voltage. In this paper, a single-switch forward converter with high power factor and low storage capacitor voltage stress is proposed. By adding a stack up voltage on top of the reflected input voltage on the forward conver...

Power Management DesignLine (03/16/2005 2:58 PM EST) The power supply is the backbone of any electronic device, and its performance is especially critical in the growing mobile consumer market, where not only accuracy but also power efficiency is crucial, which explains why switching supply circuits have enjoyed such popularity. For the safety, performance, and feedback control of these switch...
