Theoretical performance limits of twophase switched-capacitor (SC) dc-dc converters are discussed in this paper. For a given number of capacitors k, the complete set of attainable dc conversion ratios is found. The maximum step-up or stepdown ratio is given by the k t h Fibonacci number, while the bound on the number of switches required in any SC circuit is 3k 2. Practical implications, illust...

This paper proposes a novel dc-dc converter called the dc-dc multilevel voltage multiplier (mvm). In general, an nx mvm can be built by using two switches, 2n-2 diodes and 2n-2 capacitors, free of magnetic components. It is based on the multilevel converters principle and designed for unidirectional power transfer applications. Each device blocks one voltage level, therefore high voltage conver...

This paper studies the “intermittent” chaos and subharmonics observed in switching dc/dc converters using a simple circuit model that describes possible unintended coupling of some weak spurious signal to the converter. The study shows that the signal strength and frequency of the intruding signal are vital parameters that affect the type of intermittent behavior and the period of intermittency...

The main objective of this concept is to examine the operation of fundamental buck-based three-phase singlestage ac–dc full-bridge converters. In this concept, the operation of this fundamental converter is explained and analyzed, and a procedure for the design of its key components is derived and demonstrated with an example and general concluding remarks comparing Buck-Based and Boost Based t...

In this paper an Interval Type2 Fuzzy Logic (IT2FL) controller is proposed for the control of DC-DC converters to attain a good output voltage regulation and dynamic response. The buck and boost type DC-DC converters are considered for the implementation of the IT2FL controller. To study the effects on the system performance, the conventional PI and type-1 fuzzy controller are designed and comp...

Emerging feature dense portable microelectronic devices pose several challenges, including demanding multiple supply voltages from a single miniaturized power-efficient platform. Unfortunately, the power inductors used in magnetic-based switching converters (which are power efficient) are bulky and difficult to integrate. As a result, single-inductor–multiple-output (SIMO) solutions enjoy popul...

A new family of ac–dc converters is derived which integrate the functions of low-harmonic rectification, low-frequency energy storage, and wide-bandwidth output voltage control into a single converter containing one, two, or four active switches. These converters utilize a discontinuous conduction mode input inductor, an internal energy storage capacitor, and transformer secondary circuits whic...

Abstract: The line-to-output (LTO) frequency response of switched DC-DC converter describes how the smallsignal harmonic perturbation of the converted input DC voltage penetrates into the converter output, depending on the frequency of this perturbation. In the paper, the LTO frequency response conceived in this sense is faced with the LTO response, obtained by applying the well-known State-Spa...

DC/DC boost converters are usually used to interface the DC output of modern distributed generation resources with the AC system. Distributed generation modules are aggregated to yield the necessary power using either parallel or cascaded architecture. Detailed modeling of an interconnection system incorporating cascaded architecture has not been considered in previous researches. In this paper...
