Cross regulation is a key technical issue of single-inductor multiple-output (SIMO) DC-DC converters. This paper investigates the cross regulation in single-inductor dual-output (SIDO) Buck converters with continuous conduction mode (CCM) operation. The expressions of the DC voltage gain, control to the output transfer function, cross regulation transfer function, cross coupled transfer function and impedance transfer function of the converter are presented by the time averaging equivalent circuit approach. A small signal model of a SIDO CCM Buck converter is built to analyze this cross regulation. The laws of cross regulation with respect to various load conditions are investigated. Simulation and experiment results verify the theoretical analysis. This study will be helpful for converter design to reduce the cross regulation. In addition, a control strategy to reduce cross regulation is performed.

Switching power supply are widely used in many industrial field. Power factor correction(PFC) has become an increasingly necessary feature in new power supply designs. The power factor correction circuit using boost converter used in input of power source is studied in this paper.

본 논문에서는 새로이 제안되는 연속모드 벅-플라이백 컨버터를 사용하여 차지 밸런싱 방법을 제안한다. 이 컨버터는 벅컨버터의 고효율과 플라이백 컨버터의 다출력에 초점을 맞추었다. 기존의 플라이백 컨버터는 효율이 떨어지는 단점을 지니고 있기에 온 타임에는 벅 컨버터를 이용, 오프타임에는 플라이백 컨버터를 이용하여 기존 플라이백 컨버터의 단점을 보완시켰다. 차지 밸런싱이 가능한 방법을 제안하며, 부하를 출력단의 개수에 맞추어 나누어 차지 밸런싱을 맞추었다. 그에 따른 조건에 대한 식을 증명하였고, 실제로 100W급 하드웨어를 제작하여 제안되는 회로를 검증하였다.

By using the state plane approach, the steady state analysis and desing of a high frequency LLC-type series resonant converter and LLC-type parallel resonant converter operating in the continuous conduction mode is presented. When a LLC-type P.R.C operates above resonant frequency, the switching transitor can be turn off at zero voltage. A set of characteristic frequency are plotted from which desing parameters can be obtained.

The improved transfer functions of the modified Sheppard-Taylor (MS-T) converter, which is capable of regulating output voltage under a wide range of input voltage and load variations, negligible current ripple, and fewer components in comparison to the Sheppard-Taylor (S-T) converter, operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM) are investigated in this study. Its DC equilibrium point, small signal model, and transfer functions are derived and analyzed. Then, the voltage controller is applied for this MS-T converter. The comparisons between the derived model and the existing model are presented. The hardware circuit is designed and the circuit experiments are provided for validation. The results show that the improved transfer functions of the MS-T converter are more effective and general than the previous ones for describing its real characteristics.

Scribing the transparent conductive oxide(TCO) is an essential technology for the large scaled dye-sensitized solar cell(DSC) and the commercialization of the DSC. Laser systems are most used for scribing technology due to their precision. However, it is difficult to generalize systems because most systems are large and heavy. In this study, we tried to simplificate the Nd:YAG laser system for scribing TCO of the DSC by using switched mode power supply(SMPS) technique. The continuous conduction mode booster converter topology is applied and MC34262 power factor controller is used for the variable frequency control. Finally, SMPS circuit which specifications are 400W of capacity, 400V DC output and 98% of efficiency is fabricated. And it is demonstrated that the scribing TCO is completed by the Nd:YAG laser using this SMPS circuit.

In a utility interactive photovoltaic generation system, a PWM inverter is used for the connection between the photovoltaic arrays and the utility. The do current becomes pulsated when the conventional inverter system operates in the continuous current mode and dc current pulsation causes the distortion of the ac current waveform. To reduce pulsation of dc input current, This paper presents a Buck-Boost PWM power inverter and its application for residential photovoltaic system. The PWM power inverter is realized by combining two sets of a high frequency Buck-Boost chopper and by making it operate in the discontinuous conduction mode. In this paper, we show the Buck-Boost PWM power inverter circuit, its equivalent circuit and basic differential equations and the power flow characteristics are clarified when the proposed Inverter is interconnected with the utility lines. In conclusion, the proposed inverter system provides a sinusoidal ac current for domestic loads and the utility line with unity power factor

This paper proposes a modified converter topology from the existing loaded resonant converter and describe the development of 10kW(50~500V, 0~ 50A) DC/DC Converter using the proposed topology. The suggested converter, which revised the topology of the converter operating on the CCM(Continuous Conduction Mode) (above resonance), has the advantage of enhancing the efficiency of rated load operation by rapidly increasing the primary side resonant current and by improving the resonance current in a trapezoid shape. The proposed topology is described with analysis of operating mode and designed using PSpice simulation and the points on design to consider when implementing the topology are described. It is verified that the advantages of the proposed topology centered on rated load are effectively highlighted. Experimental results carried out at different condition and its results shows 98.5% efficiency at full load condition.

This paper proposes a nonisolated, bidirectional, soft-switching DC - DC converter with PWM plus phase shift (PPS) control. The proposed converter has an input-parallel/output-series configuration and can achieve the interleaving effect and high voltage gains, resulting in decreased voltage ratings in all related devices. The proposed converter can operate under zero-voltage switching (ZVS) conditions for all switches in continuous conduction mode. The power flow of the proposed converter can be controlled by changing the phase shift angle, and the duty is controlled to balance the voltage of four high voltage side capacitors. The PPS control device of the proposed converter is simple in structure and presents symmetrical switching patterns under a bidirectional power flow. The PPS control also ensures ZVS during charging and discharging at all loads and equalizes the voltage ratings of the output capacitors and switches. To verify the validity of the proposed converter, an experimental investigation of a 2 kW prototype is performed in both charging and discharging modes under different load conditions and a bidirectional power flow.
