This paper presents a method of designing the control loop for dc-to-dc converters when at characteristics of the converter's load are unknown. In the proposed method, a converter is considered as a stand-alone module that feeds a current sink load, and the control loop is designed in order to maximize the robustness of the converter's closed-loop performance. The proposed method yields a control design that provides predictable and controllable closed-loop performance for the converter loaded with an actual load.

This paper presents the comparison results of control algorithm for the simultaneous control of a multi output converter system that controls, simultaneously and independently, the separate Buck converter and Boost converter with the different specification by one DSP digital controller. As two separate converters are regulated by only one DSP, it is possible to achieve the simple digital control circuit for regulating the multi output DC-DC converter. By setting the software switch state, PI and Fuzzy controller can be applied as a controller for each converter without any change of hardware. Also, it is included the control characteristics comparison between PI and Fuzzy controller. The control characteristics of each PWM DC-DC converter is validated by experimental results.

This paper presents new Zero-Voltage-/Zero-Current-Switching (ZVZCS) PWM DC-DC converters. The proposed soft-switching technique achieves ZVS and ZCS simultaneously at both turn-on and turn-off of the main switch and diode by using only one auxiliary switch. Also, the proposed soft-switching technique is suitable for not only minority but also majority carrier semiconductor devices. The auxiliary circuit of the proposed topology is placed out the main power path and therefore, there are no voltage/current stresses on the main switch and diode. The operating principle of the proposed topology is illustrated by a detailed study with a boost converter as an example. Theoretical analysis, simulation and experimental results are presented to explain the proposed schemes.

In this paper, a novel Zero-Current-Transition (ZCT) technique, which provides Zero-Current-Switching (ZCS) turn-off of the main switch, the main diode and the auxiliary switch, is presented. The proposed auxiliary circuit consists of minimum elements only one auxiliary switch, resonant inductor and resonant capacitor. Also the reduced di/dt, which is obtained by resonant inductor, helps soft turn-on of the main switch. Besides, to eliminate the additional conduction loss and current stress on main switch, a topological variation was performed. The theoretical analysis and the operation principle of the new ZCT techniques are described in detail with a boost converter as an example. To verify the validity of the proposed ZCT techniques, the simulation and the experiment were performed under 1kW output power and 100kHz switching frequency.

In this paper, the new control algorithm is proposed that compensates instantaneously the active and reactive components of the input currents by the synchronous d,q axis conversion of a single-phase current in controlling the single-phase AC/DC parallel converters for a high speed train. The leakage inductance of a transformer was used as a boost inductance and the ripple of a transformer's primary current was reduced considerably by the parallel operation of the two converters with a proper switching phase-shift. The stable and fast control response characteristic is certificated by a simulation.

SMPS는 스위칭을 통해 전력을 변환하므로 높은 dv/dt 및 di/dt 특성을 갖게 된다. 이러한 스위칭특성으로 인해 발생하는 EMI (Electromagnetic Interference) 노이즈는 기기 내부 또는 외부에 간섭을 일으킨다. 미국의 FCC (Federal Communications Commission) 및 유럽 의 CISPR(International Special Committee on Radio Interference) 등의 규정을 만족시키기 위해서 전도성 노이즈에 대한 충분한 이해와 해석이 필요하다. 본 연구는 SMPS에서의 EMI/EMC 대책 구현에 앞서, 전도성노이즈의 기본개념 및 발생/결합 경로를 분석하고 실제로 노이즈를 측정한다. 측정을 위해 Boost 컨버터가 제작/사용된다.

Conventional Switched Mode Power Supplies(SMPS) with diode-capacitor rectifier have distorted input current waveform with high harmonic content. Typically, these SMPS have a power factor lower than 0.65. To improve with this problem. the power factor correction(PFC) circuit of power supplies has to be introduced. Specially, to reduce size and manufacture cost of power conversion device, the single-stage PFC converter is increased to demand as necessary of study. In this case single-stage PFC converter has been used DC-DC converter with boost converter. However in this paper, it is studied flyback converter of high power factor, high efficiency by feedforward control. Also, the validity of designed and manufactured high power factor flyback converter is confirmed by simulation and experimental results.

In high power application, PFC(Power Factor Correction) pre-regulators are generally required. PFC pre-regulators could achieve unity power factor, reduce line input current harmonics and utilize full line power. Interleaving PFC converters could reduce input ripple current, output capacitor ripple current and inductor size. With this closed loop interleaving method, both two phase converters are working at the boundary between continuous and discontinuous mode and accurate 180 degree phase shift is achieved. Implementation of this strategy could be easily integrated to the control chip. Finally, experimental results of a two-phase interleaved boost PFC are presented to verify the discussed features.

In this paper, we firstly proposed to the boost type PFC circuit for a power factor improving and a harmonic decreasing. The predict current control method is used to control these PFC circuit. This current control method has a merit that is possible to improve power factor and harmonics. In addition, we suggested to the active DC filter, which is connected with the DC output terminal, in order to compensate the DC ripple components. Consequently, these results are proved by the simulation tool, PSIM, which is an exclusive simulator of power electronics.
