DC/DC switching power converters produce DC output voltages from different DC input sources. The converter is used in regenerative braking of DC motors to return energy back in the supply, resulting in energy savings for the systems containing frequent stops. The DC/DC converter is composed of a PWM-IC (pulse width modulation integrated circuit) controller, a MOSFET (metal-oxide semi-conductor field-effect transistor), an inductor, capacitors, and resistors, etc. PWM is applied to control and regulate the total output voltage. In this paper, radiation shows the main influence on the changes in the electrical characteristics of comparator, operational amplifier, etc. in PWM-IC. In the PWM-IC operation, the missing pulses, the changes in pulse width, and the changes of the output waveform are studied by the simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE) and compared with experiments.

This Paper Proposes instantaneous following control method to control pulse modulation switching converter by using principle that reset time of integrator is inverse proportion in size of integrator input voltage. proposed control method acts of fixed frequency and control switch calculates time of become turn on and turn off using analog integrator. Duty ratio that express switching time of converter is depended on mean value of switching variable and following time consists in one cycle. Follow to do order exactly stationary state as well as transition state, and controller corrects mean value of control variable and control reference value and control as control error gets into zero. Proposed control method could experimented and know that experiment result and theory are agreeing well through this using the buck converter.

This paper presents the PCB heat dissipation characteristics of high density DC-DC converter for electric vehicles. This paper also analyzes the heat dissipation structure of the high density DC-DC converter and optimizes the PCB heat dissipation design of the high density power system through thermal analysis simulation. Based on heat transfer theory, the thermal path of general electronic devices is analyzed and the thermal resistance equivalent circuit is modeled in this paper. Additionally, the thermal resistance equivalent circuit of the 500W synchronous buck converter, which is addressed in this paper, is modeled to present a structural heat dissipation path for better thermal performance. The validity of the proposed scheme is verified through the thermal analysis simulation results and experiments applying multi-surface heat dissipation structure to a 500[W](12[V], 41.67[A]) synchronous buck converter prototype with an input voltage 72[V].

This paper reported the experimental results of the 2 stage converter using a Buck converter and a soft switching dc-to-dc converter that employs two separate transformers. A 2 stage converter module is designed with the specifications of an 3.3V output voltage, 20A output current, 66W output power and 36-75V input voltage. A prototype converter module is successfully implemented within 85.2% efficiency and 3% voltage regulation for the entire input voltage range, thereby demonstrating its application potentials to future telecommunication electronics.

This paper presents a new current balancing operation for LED using double-step-down dc-dc converter. The two output currents of the proposed converter can be balanced by charge balance condition although the two output resistances are different. In addition, voltage stresses of the switches of the proposed converter are lower than those of interleaved buck converter. To verify the operation of the proposed converter, simulation program is used.

By performing interval analysis on the system transfer function, we propose an improved method of control loop design for a DC/DC converter. In conventional design methods, the effect of system parameter change due to the specified range of operating conditions and production tolerances in power components should be checked a posteriori, because this may result in a transfer function shift and performance degradation. In the proposed method, a possible parameter change is considered a priori in the design step in order that the desired crossover frequency and sufficient phase margin can be achieved even in the worst case condition. As an illustrative example, a buck dc/dc converter is designed by two different methods and performance comparisons are performed to verify the feasibility of the proposed scheme.

A quasi-constant on-time controlled buck front end in combined discontinuous conduction mode and boundary conduction mode is proposed to improve power factor (PF).When instantaneous AC input voltage is lower than the output bus voltage per period, the buck converter turns into buck-boost converter with the addition of a level comparator to compare input voltage and output voltage. The gate drive voltage is provided by an additional oscillator during distortion time to eliminate the cross-over distortion of the input current. This high PF comes from the avoidance of the input current distortion, thereby enabling energy to be delivered constantly. This paper presents a series analysis of controlling techniques and efficiency, PF, and total harmonic distortion. A comparison in terms of efficiency and PF between the proposed converter and a previous work is performed. The specifications of the converter include the following: input AC voltage is from 90V to 264V, output DC voltage is 80V, and output power is 94W.This converter can achieve PF of 98.74% and efficiency of 97.21% in 220V AC input voltage process.

In this paper a new buck-boost type DC-DC converter is presented. Its voltage gain is positive, all active elements operate under soft-switching condition independent of loading, magnetic isolation and self output short-circuit protection exist, and very fast dynamic operation is achievable by a simple bang-bang controller. This converter also exhibits appropriate PFC characteristics since its input current is inherently proportional to the source voltage. When the voltage source is off-line, it is sufficient to add an inductor after the rectifier, then near unity power factor is achievable. All essential guidelines to design the converter as a DC-DC and a PFC regulator are presented. Simulation and experimental results verify the developed theoretical analysis.
