* This project is funded under the NASA-KSC STTR-Phase I Program. ABSTRACT A single-stage power factor correction converter with softswitching is proposed in this paper. The topology of this converter is derived by adding a resonant circuit to an existing Single-Stage, Single-Switch Power Factor Correction (S PFC) converter. As a result, zero-voltage-switching and zero-current-switching are ach...

This work is about the analysis of dead time variation on switching losses in a Zero Voltage Switching (ZVS) synchronous buck converter (SBC) circuit. In high frequency converter circuits, switching losses are commonly linked with high and low side switches of SBC circuit. They are activated externally by the gate driver circuit. The duty ratio, dead time and resonant inductor are the parameter...

Z-Source converter or impedance-source converter is a kind of power converters, which has the responsibility to convert the direct current to alternative current. This converter with respect to its circuit diagram acts as a buck-boost converter except it doesn’t use from DC-DC converter bridge. Γ-source inverters are one of the conventional converters based on impedance-sources; which have been...

In this paper, we propose the use of second-order slope compensation for a current-mode PWM buck converter. First, the current feedback loop in a current-mode PWM buck converter using a conventional slope compensation is analyzed by the small-signal transfer function. It becomes clear that the stability and frequency bandwidth of the current feedback loop is affected by the external input volta...
