This work is about the analysis of dead time variation on switching losses in a Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) synchronous buck converter (SBC) circuit. In high frequency converter circuits, switching losses are commonly linked with high and low side switches of SBC circuit. They are activated externally by the gate driver circuit. The duty ratio, dead time and resonant inductor are the parameter...

This project is a highly efficient and novel control strategy for improving the transients in the output voltage of a dc–dc positive buck–boost converter which is required for low-power portable electronic applications. The proposed control technique can regulate the output voltage for variable input voltage (higher, lower, or equal to the output voltage). There are several existing solutions t...

By using a quadratic compensation slope, a CMOS current-mode buck DC-DC converter with constant frequency characteristics over wide input and output voltage ranges has been developed. The use of a quadratic slope instead of a conventional linear slope makes both the damping factor in the transfer function and the frequency bandwidth of the current feedback loop independent of the converter’s ou...

This paper discusses the use of printed circuit board (PCB) integrated inductors for low power dc/dc buck converters. Coreless, magnetic plates and closed core structures are compared in terms of achievable inductance, power handling and efficiency in a footprint of 10 10mm. The magnetic layers consist of electroplated NiFe, so that the process is fully compatible with standard PCB process. Ana...

This paper analyzes and simulates the Li-ion battery charging process for a solar powered battery management system. The battery is charged using a non-inverting synchronous buck-boost DC/DC power converter. The system operates in buck, buck-boost, or boost mode, according to the supply voltage conditions from the solar panels. Rapid changes in atmospheric conditions or sunlight incident angle ...

This paper proposes an implementation of Single Ended Primary Inductor Converter (SEPIC) converter and Voltage Source Inverter for an Induction Motor using Photovoltaic energy as a source. Generally the larger number of drives employed for industrial and commercial applications are induction motor drives. To run such kind of motor from the PV source, it is proposed to have a DCDC converter and ...

The novelty of this paper is a hybrid approach for modeling and implementing a real-time control strategy of a dc Servomotor angular speed by using a sliding mode control module. The sliding mode controller is embedded in an open-loop control system structure with a dc Buck converter to stabilize and regulate the converter output voltage, despite the load current changes and unregulated power s...

Energy-efficient, linear RF power amplifiers (PAs) are critical for achieving longer battery life in state-of-the-art radio transceivers because typically they determine and dominate the power consumption of the system. In this paper, an adaptive power management scheme using a novel dual-mode, noninverting, buck-boost converter targeted for code-division-multiple-access (CDMA) RF PA is present...

Renewable energy sources are being widely used for Distributed Generation (fuel cells, solar panels, Wind power generators etc..,) because of their advantages. But they produce a very low output voltage. To interconnect a low-dc-voltage to residential loads a special voltage matching converter is required. This paper presents a back to back connection of cascaded quasi-Z-source network based st...
