This paper presents the design of a 20 MHzhysteresis-controlled CMOS buck converter using pseudo ramp techniques for ultra-low power applications. The proposed buck converter can improve the transient response using hysteresis-controlled and fixed-voltage band techniques. Using pseudo ramp technique, pseudo inductor current signal can be produced to reduce the output voltage ripple. At the same...

This paper focuses on the synthesis of computationally friendly sub-optimal nonlinear Model Predictive Control (MPC) algorithms with guaranteed robust stability. The input-to-state stability framework is employed to analyze the robustness of the resulting MPC closed-loop systems. Two new sub-optimal nonlinear MPC schemes are proposed, based on a contraction argument and an artificial Lyapunov f...

The series capacitor buck converter is a dc-dc converter topology that uniquely merges a switched capacitor circuit and a multiphase buck converter. Many of the challenges faced by conventional buck converters are overcome by this converter topology. This enables efficient, high frequency operation and significantly smaller solution size. The series capacitor buck converter has beneficial chara...

Power electronics as an application oriented discipline, has been employed in industrial, commercial, residential and aerospace environments. Since power electronic circuits containing pulse width modulation, are nonlinear systems, it exhibits complex behaviors such as bifurcation and chaos. In this paper, a simulation study of chaos in voltage controlled buck converter is done by varying the l...

In power conversion of photovoltaic (PV) energy, a hard-switching buck converter always generates some disadvantages. For example, serious electromagnetic interference (EMI), high switching losses, and stresses on an active switch (metal-oxide-semiconductor-field-effect-transistor, MOSFET), and high reverse-recovery losses of a freewheeling diode result in low conversion efficiency. To release ...

In this work a buck converter model for multidomain simulations is proposed and compared with a stateof-the-art buck converter model. In the proposed model no switching events are calculated. By avoiding the computation of the switching events in power electronic models the processing time of multi-domain simulations can be decreased significantly.
