A novel topology for a soft-switching buck dc– dc converter with a coupled inductor is proposed. The soft-switching buck converter has advantages over the traditional hardswitching converters. The most significant advantage is that it offers a lower switching loss. This converter operates under a zero-current switching condition at turn on and a zero-voltage switching condition at turn off. It ...

This paper proposes the structured singular value ( ) approach to the problem of designing an output voltage regulator for a Buck-Boost converter with current-mode control. This approach allows a quantitative description of the effects of reactive components’ tolerances and operating point variations, which strongly affect the converter dynamics. At first, a suitable linear converter model is d...

This work deals with metaheuristic optimization algorithms to derive the best parameters for Gaussian Adaptive PID controller. controller represents a multimodal problem, where several distinct solutions can achieve similar performances, and metaheuristics behave differently during process. Finding correct proportionality between is an arduous task that often does not have algebraic solution. T...

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. The proposed model calculates any operation po...

In this paper a complete state-space average model for the buck switching regulators is presented. The presented model includes the most of the regulator’s parameters and uncertainties. In modeling, the load current is assumed to be unknown, and it is assumed that the inductor, capacitor, diode and regulator active switch are non ideal and they have a resistance in conduction condition. Some ot...

— The design of an efficient monolithic buck converter is presented in this paper. A low swing MOSFET gate drive technique is proposed that improves the efficiency characteristics of a DC-DC converter. A model of the parasitic impedances of a buck converter is developed. With this model, a design space is described which characterizes the integration of both active and passive devices of a buck...

This paper tackles the control of fast-scale instabilities in a buck switching power converter aiming to expand its design-space towards miniaturization. After briefly revisiting the working principle of existing chaos controllers, the paper explores an alternative approach based on amplifying the harmonic at the switching frequency. Numerical simulations show that the proposed controller can c...

Analytical spectral modeling of switched-mode PWM converters, operating in the discontinuous conduction mode, is presented. The modeling approach is to derive analytical expressions of the converter output response using the extended Volterra functional series. Nonlinear frequency responses, including additional DC offset as well as significant subharmonic and higher harmonic components, due to...
