We propose to use a slope adjustable generator (TWG) which provides a line feed and an additional duty cycle modulatio comparing with the conventional VMC, the p significantly improves the line and load tran This triangular wave slope regulation sc compared to digital feed-forward control sch non-linear ca...

This paper proposes a method to reduce the supply voltage IR drop of 3D stacked-die systems by implementing an on-chip Buck Converter on Top die (BCT) scheme. The IR drop is caused by the parasitic resistance of Through Silicon Vias (TSV’s) used in the 3D integration. The IR drop reduction and the overhead associated with the BCT scheme are modeled and analyzed. A 3D stacked-die system is manuf...

The main objective of this paper is to compare the performance between fuzzy controller and proportional integral controller in improving the performance of the DC-DC Buck Converter. The evaluation of the output has been carried out and compared by software simulation using MATLAB. This paper also evaluates the stability of the system with fuzzy controller and PI controller and concludes that t...

The need for a high-frequency and high-efficiency gallium nitride (GaN)-based buck converter that can be controlled directly by low swing pulse width-modulated (PWM) signal, without the additional buffers or preamplifiers, poses significant challenge in field of power conversion dynamically supply applications. To solve this problem, letter presents monolithic two-phase synchronous converter, f...

D1 D2 S2 Abstract—This paper proposes two types of non-isolated direct AC-DC converters. First, it shows a buck-boost converter with an H-bridge, which requires few components (three switches, two diodes, one inductor and one capacitor) to convert AC input to DC output directly. This circuit can handle a wide range of output voltage. Second, a direct AC-DC buck converter is proposed for lower o...

RONG, GUO. High Efficiency Charge Pump Based DC-DC Converter for Wide Input/ Output Range Applications. (Under the direction of Dr. Alex Q. Huang.) Portable electronic devices are taking an indispensable part in people’s everyday life. To meet the growing needs of people, the number of function blocks inside the portable devices keeps on increasing but the portable devices tend to be small and ...

In this paper, we provide an analytical insight into the observed nonlinear behaviour of the buck converter and link this with the study of a wider class of piecewise-smooth systems. After introducing the buck converter model and background, we describe the most fascinating features of its dynamical behaviour. We then introduce the so-called grazing and sliding solutions and discuss their role ...

In this dissertation, we propose a novel technique for the voltage-mode control of switchedmode fixed-frequency Buck Converters using Switched-Capacitor Filters (SCF). The salient features of the analog sampled-data Type-III fi...

A mixed synchronous/asynchronous digital controller for high performance DC-DC converters is presented. The control architecture is quite simple, being based on the use of two digital-to-analog (DAC) converters with low resolution (7 bits). A new control algorithm exploits digitally generated current and voltage ramps in order to completely suppress quantization effects, despite the low resolut...
