A control alogorithm using sliding mode and neural network for Buck type DC-DC converter is presented. Also, we conform a rightness the proposal method by comparing a theoretical values and experimental values obtained from experiment using DSP(digital signal processor). Performance comparisons made with the general hysteresis controller clearly bring out the superior performance of the proposal neural network controller. This paper will be applied to other power conversion system using the proposal neural network controller.

본 논문에서는 직류 대 직류 강압형 변환기의 전달함수 변환에 의한 새로운 제어방법을 제안하였다. 제안된 방법을 외란 및 회로변수 값의 번화 시 나타나는 영향을 최소화시키며, 변환기의 동특성에 영향을 미치는 출력필터의 공진과 동작점 변화에 의한 플랜트 특성 변화를 현저하게 개선시킨다. 먼저 전달함수 변환 제어 시 시스템의 특성을 나타내는 여러 가지 전달함수를 구하여, 이를 기존의 직류 대 직류 변환기에서의 전달 함수와 비교하였다. 또한 외란 및 회로변수 값 변화시의 기준 전압 대 출력 전압 전달함수의 민감도를 구하여 회로변수 값 변화 시 나타나는 특성이 개선됨을 보이고, 마지막으로 모의실험과 실험을 실시하여 제안된 제어 방법이 기존의 제어 방법과 비교하여 우수한 성능을 가짐을 보였다.

In this paper, a digital current mode control is designed for the power converter applications. The designed digital current mode controller is derived analytically from the continuous time small signal model of the power converters. Due to the small signal model based derivations of the control law, the designed control method can be applicable to boost, buck, and buck-boost converters. It is also proven that the controlled power converter employing the designed digital current mode controller is always stable regardless of an operating conditions. In order to show the usefulness of a designed controller, experiments are carried out using a 16bit DSP micro-processor, TMS320LF2406A.

We have proposed and fabricated a Buck-Boost DC to DC Converter for Thermoelectric generator (TEG) with constant output voltage suitable for battery chargers or constant voltage supplies in the range of several watt. The experimental and simulation results have shown that the proposed method allows stable operation with maximum 86% power transfer efficiency. The proposed circuit has a merit in cost and miniaturization of a system compared to conventional MPPT algorithms, because the proposed method adopts only analog circuit without DSP or micro controller unit for calculating peak power point by iterative methods.

As power supply managements become more important than before, supplying a stable system voltage is becoming more and more critical. In this study we propose to use the advantage of weak inversion region of MOS transistors. Analog system, which uses weak inversion region, could work in low voltage environment and reduce power consumption. The proposed buck-converter in weak inversion region of MOS transistor has been verified by silicon chip.

This paper proposes 3.3V input and 1.8V output voltage mode step-down DC-DC buck converter for wireless mobile system which is designed in a standard 0.35$\mu$m CMOS process. The proposed capacitor multiplier method can minimize error amplifier compensation block size by 30%. It allows the compensation block of DC-DC converter be easily integrated on a chip. Also, we improve efficiency to 3% using low power buffer. Measurement result shows that the circuit has less than 1.17% output ripple voltage and maximum 83.9% power efficiency.

This paper presents a 0.2V DC/DC boost converter with regulated output for thermoelectric energy harvesting. To use low voltages from a thermoelectric device, a start-up circuit consisting of native NMOS transistors and resistors boosts an internal VDD, and the boosted VDD is used to operate the internal control block. When the VDD reaches a predefined value, a detector circuit makes the start-up block turn off to minimize current consumption. The final boosted VSTO is achieved by alternately operating the sub-boost converter for VDD and the main boost converter for VSTO according to the comparator outputs. When the VSTO reaches 2.4V, a buck converter starts to operate to generate a stabilized output VOUT. Simulation results shows that the designed converter generates a regulated 1.8V output from an input voltage of 0.2V, and its maximum power efficiency is 60%. The chip designed using a $0.35{\mu}m$ CMOS process occupies $1.1mm{\times}1.0mm$ including pads.

An efficient fast response hysteretic buck converter suitable for mobile application is propoesed. The problems of large output ripple and difficulty in using of small power inductor that conventional hysteretic converter has are improved by adding ramp generator. and the changeable switching frequency with load current is fixed by adding a delay time control circuit composed of PLL structure resulting in decrease of EMI noise. The circuits are implemented by using BCDMOS 0.35um 2-polt 4-metal process. Measurement results show that the converter operates with a switching frequency of 1.85MHz when drives 80mA load current. As the converter drives over 170mA load current, the switching frequency is fixed on 2MHz. The converter has output ripple voltage of less 20mV and more than efficiency 85% with 50~500mA laod current condition.

This paper presents a one digital controller two topology PWM DC-DC converter that controls, simultaneously, the separate Buck converter and boost converter with the different specification by using an inexpensive and efficient 8 bit micro-controller. One timer interrupt is used for the detection of output feedback voltage, and other two timer interrupts are used for the generation of PWM waveform for Buck and Boost converter. The control characteristics of one digital controller two topology PWM DC-DC converter is validated by experimental results.
