This paper presents the dynamic analysis and control loop design of a zero voltage switching full bridge (ZVS-FB) PWM DC/DC converter. The small-signal model is derived incorporating the effects of phase shift control and the utilization of transformer leakage inductance and power FET junction capacitance to achieve zero voltage resonant switching. These effects are modeled by introducing additional feedforward and feedback terms for duty cycle modulation. Based on the results of the small-signal analysis, the control loop is designed using a simple two-pole one-zero compensation circuit. To show the validity of the design procedures, the small signal analysis of the closed loop system is carried out and the potential of the zero voltage switching and the superiority of the dynamic characteristics are verified through the experiment with a 2 kW prototype converter.

A variety of high voltage DC power supplies employing the high frequency inverter are difficult to achieve soft switching considering a quick response and no overshoot response under the wide load variation ranges which are used in medical-use x-ray high voltage generator from 20kV to 150kV in the output voltage and from 0.5mA to 1250mA, respectively. The authors develops soft switching high voltage DC power supply designed for x-ray power generator applications, which uses series resonant inverter circuit topology with a multistage voltage multiplier instead of a conventional high voltage diode rectifier connected to the second-side of a high-voltage transformer with a large turn ratio. A constant on-time dual mode frequency control scheme operating under a principle of zero-current soft switching commutation is described. Introducing the multistage voltage multiplier, the secondary transformer turn-numbers and stray capacitance of high-voltage transformer is effective to be greatly reduced. It is proved that the proposed high-voltage converter topology with dual mode frequency modulation mode control scheme is able to be the transient response and steady-state performance in high-voltage x-ray tube load. The effectiveness of this high voltage converter is evaluated and discussed on the basis of simulation analysis and observed data in experiment.

This paper presents the two lossless auxiliary inductors-assisted voltage source type half bridge (single ended push pull: SEPP) series resonant high frequency inverter for induction heated fixing roller in copy and printing machines. The simple high-frequency inverter treated here can completely achieve stable zero current soft switching (ZCS) commutation for wide its output power regulation ranges and load variations under its constant high frequency pulse density modulation (PDM) scheme. Its transient and steady state operating principle is originally described and discussed for a constant high-frequency PDM control strategy under a stable ZCS operation commutation, together with its output effective power regulation characteristics-based on the high frequency PDM strategy. The experimental operating performances of this voltage source SEPP ZCS-PDM series resonant high frequency inverter using IGBTs are illustrated as compared with computer simulation results and experimental ones. Its power losses analysis and actual efficiency are evaluated and discussed on the basis of simulation and experimental results. The feasible effectiveness of this high frequency inverter appliance implemented here is proved from the practical point of view.

A sensorless motor control scheme with conventional back-Electro Motive Force (EMF) sensing based on zero crossing point (ZCP) detection has been widely used in various applications. However, there are several problems with the conventional method for effectively driving sensorless brushless motors. For example, a phase mismatch of 30 degrees occurs between the ZCP and commutation time. Additionally, most of the motor speed/current controls are achieved based on a pulse width modulation (PWM) method, which generates significant noise that distracts the back-EMF sensing. Due to the PWM switching, the ZCP is not deterministic, and thus the efficiency of the motor is reduced because the phase transition points become uncertain. Moreover, the motor driving performance is degraded at a low speed range due to the effect of PWM noise. To solve these problems, an improved back-EMF detection method based on a differential line method is proposed in this paper. In addition, the proposed sensorless BLDC driver addresses the problems by using a variable voltage driver generated from a buck converter. The variable voltage driver does not generate the PWM switching noise. Consequently, the proposed sensorless motor driver improves 1) the signal-to-noise ratio of back-EMF, 2) the operation range of a BLDC motor, and 3) the torque characteristics. The proposed sensorless motor driver is verified through simulations and experiments.

This paper presents a high efficiency resonant flyback converter using a single-chip microcontroller. The proposed converter primary performs the resonant switching by applying the asymmetrical pulse-width modulation (APWM) to the half-bridge power topology. And the converter secondary uses the diode flyback rectifier as its power topology and operates with the zero current switching (ZCS). Thus the proposed converter achieves high efficiency. The total structure of proposed converter is very simple because it uses a single-chip microcontroller and bootstrap circuit for its control and drive, respectively. First, this paper describes the converter operation according to each operation mode and shows its steady-state analysis. And the software control algorithm and drive circuits operating the proposed converter are explained. Then, the operation characteristics of proposed converter are shown through the experimental results of an implemented prototype based on each explanation.

Digital fingerprinting is a contents-protection technique, where customer information is inserted into digital contents. Fingerprinted contents undergo various attacks. Especially, attackers can remove easily the inserted fingerprint by collusion attacks, because digital fingerprinting inserts slightly different codes according to the customers. Among collusion attacks, averaging attack is a simple, fast, and efficient attack. In this paper, we propose a video fingerprinting system that is robust to the averaging attack. In order to achieve code efficiency and robustness against the averaging attack, we adopt anti-collusion code (fingerprint code) from GD-PBIBD theory. When the number of users is increased, the size of fingerprint code also grows. Thus, this paper addresses a zero-based code modulation technique to embed and detect this fingerprint code efficiently. We implemented a blind video fingerprinting system based on our proposed technique and performed experiments on various colluding cases. Based on the results, we could detect most of colluders. In the worst case, our scheme could trace at least one colluder successfully.

A novel strategy based on a zero common mode voltage pulse-width modulation (ZCMV-PWM) technique and zero-sequence circulating current (ZSCC) feedback control is proposed in this study to eliminate ZSCCs between three-level neutral point clamped (NPC) voltage source inverters, with common AC and DC buses, that are operating in parallel. First, an equivalent model of ZSCC in a three-phase three-level NPC inverter paralleled system is developed. Second, on the basis of the analysis of the excitation source of ZSCCs, i.e., the difference in common mode voltages (CMVs) between paralleled inverters, the ZCMV-PWM method is presented to reduce CMVs, and a simple electric circuit is adopted to control ZSCCs and neutral point potential. Finally, simulation and experiment are conducted to illustrate effectiveness of the proposed strategy. Results show that ZSCCs between paralleled inverters can be eliminated effectively under steady and dynamic states. Moreover, the proposed strategy exhibits the advantage of not requiring carrier synchronization. It can be utilized in inverters with different types of filter.
