In this paper, a novel approach to using Subcircuit of Pspice in designing feedback for DC-DC converter systems is proposed. Proposed new approach, the feedback design procedures which are based on small signal modeling are programmed as a subcircuit in Pspice. For this purpose, Analog Behavioral Modeling (ABM) is used. By using the subcircuit, the component values of the error compensation amplifier can be easily obtained by means of Pspice DC analysis. The methodology of development is presented in detail and application examples demonstrated the effectiveness of the proposed approach in designing feedbacks for DC-DC converters. The converter with PWM method used continuous current mode and calculated buck converter control signal with average and linear current technique. To decide pole and zero K-method was adapted and this kind of design procedure took stable function.

This paper presents a nonlinear method to control a DC-DC converter and track the Maximum Power Point (MPP) of a Photovoltaic (PV) system. A backstepping controller is proposed to regulate the voltage at the input of a buck-boost converter by means of Lyapunov functions. To make the control initially faster and avoid local maximum, a regression plane is used to estimate the reference voltages that must be obtained to achieve the MPP and guarantee the maximum power extraction, modifying the conventional Perturb and Observe (P&O) method. An experimental platform has been designed to verify the validity and performance of the proposed control method. In this platform, a buck-boost converter has been built to extract the maximum power of commercial solar modules under different environmental conditions.

In the buck-boost DC-DC converter which is used at a certain situation such as in factories where loads often change a lot, the switches in the device make big energy loss in operating at Buck-Boost Mode due to hard switching and are affected by lots of stresses which decrease the efficiency rate of the converter. In order to improve this problem, to decrease the loss of snubber and switching, it has been investigated that zero voltage switching mode and zero current switching mode which make the operation of switches with soft switching. For the more sophisticated and advanced device, this paper is presented the Partial Resonant Soft Switching Mode Power Converter which is adapted the power converter having the partial resonant soft switching mode, that makes switches operate when the resonant current or voltage becomes zero by making the resonant circuit partially at turning on and off of the switches with suitable layout of the resonant elements and switch elements in the converter. Also, this paper includes the analysis and simulation of the Partial Resonant type Buck-Boost Chopper.

전기 자동차는 내연기관 차량을 대체할 차세대 그린카의 대표 차종으로 부각되고 있다. 전기 자동차가 상용화되기 위해서는 전기자동차 자체의 성능뿐만 아니라 충전 인프라 발전이 함께 이뤄져야 한다. 현재 개발된 전기 자동차의 경우 충전 시간이 긴 반면 주행 거리가 짧기 때문에 효용성이 크게 떨어진다. 따라서 충전 시간을 최대한 단축 시키기 위한 급속 충전 시스템 개발이 활발하게 진행되고 있다. 본 논문에서는 전기 자동차용 급속 충전기에 적용되는 실제적인 DC-DC 컨버터를 ATPDraw/MODELS를 이용해 모델링하고 검증하였다.

DC/DC switching power converters are commonly used to generate a regulated DC output voltages with high efficiencies from different DC input sources. The voltage mode DC/DC converter utilizes MOSFET (metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor), inductor, and a PWM (pulse-width modulation) controller with oscillator, amplifier, and comparator, etc. to efficiently transfer energy from the input to the output at periodic intervals. The fundamental boost converter and a buck converter containing a switched-mode power supply are studied. In this paper, the electrical characteristics of DC/DC power converters are simulated by program of SPICE, and the PWM controller is implemented to check the operation. In addition, power efficiency is analyzed based on the specification of each component.

Conventional 3-phase AC-DC converter is frequently in the industrial world. In this paper, the high power factor 3-phase AC-DC converter which can reduce its weight and volume is proposed. The high power factor 3-phase AC-DC converter without LC filter can realize light weight and low-cost. In spite of elimination of LC filter, the performance of the high power 3-phase AC-DC converter is almost the same as conventional 3-phase AC-DC converter. Finally, this result can be expected to be applied to aviation and the space industry with high power density and high power factor.

This paper describes a design of multiple-mode single-output DC/DC converter which can be used in both up and down conversion. Proposed up/down converter does not produce a negative voltage which is generated in conventional buck-boost type converter. Three types of operation mode(up/down/bypass) are controlled by the input voltage sense and command signals of target output voltage. PFM(pulse frequency modulation) control is adopted and modified for fast tracking and for precise output voltage level with an aid of output voltage sense. Designed DC/DC converter has the performance of less than 5 % ripple and higher than 80 % efficiency. Chip area is 3.50 mm ${\times}$ 2.05 mm with standard 0.35 $\mu\textrm{m}$ CMOS technology.

The current-fed DC-DC converter has only one energy storage reactor in series with the input for any number of outputs and is insensitive to transformer volt-second unbalance. It is considered that these properties of the converter are considerable advantages over other maltiple-output circuits. The steady-state and dynamic characteristic and stability for the current-fed DC-DC con-verter are analyzed in detail. The analysis is carried out by the state-space averaging method for the operation with the duty ratio less than 50% and is confirmed by the experiment. From the evaluation of stability it is identified that the stability of this converter is excellent as compared with that of the conventional buck type converter.

In this paper, bi-directional DC/DC converter using a LC series resonant converter is proposed. A proposed converter is consisted by adding LC series resonant tank into a conventional bi-directional DC/DC converter and performs soft-switching at both boost and buck mode. A LC series resonance occurs in whole operation mode and switching point is determined by specific condition. Through the theoretical analysis and simulation results, operation modes and characteristics of the proposed topology is verified.
