Two essential technologies for a 3D Solid State Drive (3DSSD) with a boost converter are presented in this paper. The first topic is the spiral inductor design which determines the performance of the boost converter, and the second is the effect of TSV’s on the boost converter. These techniques are very important in achieving a 3D-SSD with a boost converter. In the design of the inductor, the o...

A Double input DC to DC converter for low voltage energy sources applications is proposed in this paper. The proposed converter is buck-boost converter which can step up or step down the input voltage according to output voltage required at load end. The converter is able to boost up voltage of energy sources such as solar photovoltaic and wind energy system of relatively low voltage. The conve...

The main purpose of this paper is to introduce an approach to design a DC-DC boost converter with constant output voltage for grid connected photovoltaic application system. The boost converter is designed to step up a fluctuating solar panel voltage to a higher constant DC voltage. It uses voltage feedback to keep the output voltage constant. To do so, a microcontroller is used as the heart of...

This paper investigates the effect of the variation of duty ratio on the different performance parameters of the three non-isolated dc-dc converters namely buck, boost and buck-boost converter. Five important parameters dependent on the duty ratio have been identified namely output voltage, output current, effective impedance at the input, minimum inductance and minimum capacitance for continuo...

This paper presents a high-efficiency nonisolated interleaved dc–dc inductor boost converter with a common active clamp circuit. Interleaved boost converters are highly preferred as it reduces the ripple current. A boost converter is used to clamp the voltage stresses of all the switches in the interleaved converter which is caused by the leakage inductances. The leakage energies of the interle...

Robust controller designed by H∞ loop shaping is complicated and its order is much higher than that of the plant. It is not easy to implement this controller in practical engineering applications. To overcome this problem, we propose an algorithm, GA based fixed-structure H∞ loop shaping control, to design a robust controller. Genetic algorithm is used to solve the H∞ loop shaping design proble...

This paper presents an interleaved boost converter with coupled inductors for photovoltaic (PV) energy conversion. The proposed soft-switching boost converter uses an interleaved method to increase its power density and coupled-inductor technology to extend its step-up voltage ratio. To reduce switching losses of active switches, the proposed interleaved boost converter incorporates a synchrono...

This paper presents comparative performance between Analog and digital controller on DC/DC buck-boost converter four switch. The design of power electronic converter circuit with the use of closed loop scheme needs modeling and then simulating the converter using the modeled equations. This can easily be done with the help of state equations and MATLAB/SIMULINK as a tool for simulation of those...
