The main advantages of this topology are: simple structure on the converter’s power stage; a wide range of the output voltage, capable of supporting contemporary vehicles’ on-board battery packs; efficiency; and power density accepted to be high enough for such a class of hard-switched converters. A precise estimation of the loss, dissipated in the converter’s basic modes of operation Buck, Boost, and Buck-Boost is presented. The analysis shows an approach of loss minimization, based on switching frequency reduction during the Buck-Boost operation mode. Such a technique guarantees stable thermal characteristics during the entire operation, i.e., battery charge cycle.

It enables a synchronous rectifier buck converter to realize zero voltage switching in light load condition. The replacement of output rectifier diode by MOSFET can minimize conduction losses and increase the efficiency of the circuit. The control technique introduced in this paper enables a SR buck converter to carry out ZVS in light load condition to increase efficiency. No extra auxiliary switches or RLC passive components are required. It is of low cost and easy to control. Keywords: Buck converter, synchronous rectifier, ZVS, light load condition. I. INTRODUCTION Buck converters have already been applied to portable products which are powered by batteries. The efficiency of a buck converter should be increased to prolong the operation of portable products and minimize battery drain. The efficiency of a buck converter is affected by conduction losses. Switching loss of a buck converter must be decreased in light load condition. In order to reduce the conduction losses and raise the efficiency the SR technique is used.

  • Impact of Power MOSFET VGS on Buck Converter Performance
    AN3267 Application note Impact of power MOSFET VGS on buck converter performance Introduction DC-DC buck converters are widely used in the computer and peripherals industry due to their high efficiency and simple electrical topology. In synchronous buck converter design and semiconductor device choice, converter efficiency maximization and switching behavior immunity to voltage stresses and fast transients are mandatory. This document presents the simulation and experimental test results on a single-phase synchronous buck converter, highlighting the power MOSFET gate driving voltage impact on converter power management and switching behavior. In the latest generation of microprocessors for desktops and mobile equipment, ever increasing switching frequency and output current delivered to the CPU have become necessary. These features push converter and system designers to critical choices for overall performance optimization. In fact, fast transients, together with high load currents, may degrade the converter thermal and power management. Therefore, a deep and accurate fine tuning of the main electrical parameters is mandatory. In this document, based on the single-phase synchronous buck converter topology, the impact of different power MOSFET gate-source voltages on converter efficiency and waveforms of main circuit nodes is thoroughly analyzed through OrCAD® simulations and bench test results, highlighting a perfect match between these two experiments.

  • DC/DC Converter Output Capacitor Benchmark
    DC/DC Converter Output Capacitor Benchmark R. Šponar, R. Faltus, M. Jáně, Z. Flegr, T. Zedníček AVX Czech Republic s.r.o., Dvorakova 328, 563 01 Lanskroun, Czech Republic email: [email protected] Abstract Switched-mode power supplies (SMPS) are commonly found in many electronic systems. Important SMPS requirements are a stable output voltage with load current, good temperature stability, low ripple voltage and high overall efficiency. If the electronic system in question is to be portable, small size and light weight are also important considerations. A key component in switching power systems is the output capacitor – used to store the charge and for smoothing - therefore its careful selection plays a vital role in determining the overall parameters of the power supply. Different capacitor technologies – tantalum, ceramic MLCC, niobium oxide (NbO) and aluminium - are suitable to meet different electrical requirements. This paper presents the results of an output capacitor benchmark study used in a step-down DC/DC converter design, based on a well-used control IC (Maxim’s MAX 1537 – Ref.1) with a 6-24V input voltage range and two separate voltage outputs of 3.3 and 5V. The behaviour of different output capacitor technologies was evaluated by measuring the output ripple voltage. Defined fixed load and fixed switching frequency settings were used for all measurements. Introduction The selection of a suitable output capacitor plays an important part in the design of switching voltage converters. “Some 99 percent of so-called ‘design’ problems associated with linear and switching regulators can be traced directly to the improper use of capacitors”, states the National Semiconductor IC Power Handbook (Ref.2).

  • Analysis of Low Voltage Regulator Efficiency Based
    ANALYSIS OF LOW VOLTAGE REGULATOR EFFICIENCY BASED ON FERRITE INDUCTOR by MRIDULA KOTHAKONDA A THESIS Submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science in the Department of Electrical and Computer Engineering in the Graduate School of The University of Alabama TUSCALOOSA, ALABAMA 2010 Copyright Mridula Kothakonda 2010 ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ABSTRACT Low voltage regulator based on ferrite inductor, using single- and two-phase topologies, were designed and simulated in MATLAB. Simulated values of output voltage and current were used to evaluate the buck converter (i.e., low voltage regulator) for power efficiency and percentage ripple reduction at frequencies between 1 and 10 MHz with variable loads from 0.024 to 4 Ω. The parameters, such as inductance of 20 nH, quality factor of 15 of fabricated ferrite inductor and DC resistance (DCR) of 8.3 mΩ, were used for efficiency analysis of the converter. High current around 40 A was achieved by the converter at low load values. Low output voltage in the range of 0.8-1.2 V was achieved. The simulated results for the single- and two- phase converter were compared for maximum efficiency and lowest ripple in output voltage and current. The maximum efficiency of 97 % with load of 0.33 Ω and the lowest ripple current of about 2.3 mA were estimated for the two-phase converter at 10 MHz. In summary, the two- phase converter showed higher efficiency and lower ripple voltage and current than those of the single-phase converter. In addition, the efficiency of single- and two-phase converters based on ferrite inductor was compared to single- and two-phase converters based on air-core inductor.

    106 CHAPTER 5 STEADY STATE ANALYSIS AND SIMULATION OF THE IPM GENERATOR FEEDING A RECTIFIER-BUCK-RESISTIVE LOAD 5.1 Introduction In this chapter, the steady state analysis and simulation of the IPM generator feeding a rectifier-buck resistive load will be presented. The first part of the chapter concerns itself with developing mathematical equations which describe the switching functions of the buck converter for steady state. An equivalent resistance which is dependent upon the actual load resistance and the duty cycle of the converter will be obtained. In addition, various plots showing how an ideal voltage source system feeding a buck system behaves will be generated. The graphs are useful in conceptualizing how the buck converter works. Next, using the mathematical model developed, the steady state experimental results will be compared with the predicted results. The method used to model the transistor and the control signal to turn it on and off will be presented and a comparison between the measured and simulated waveforms will be given. The normal goal of dc-dc converters is to maintain a desired output voltage at a desired level, even though the input voltage and the output load may vary. Figure 5.1 shows a simple example of a dc-dc converter where the average output voltage is controlled by the switch on and off times (DT and (1-D) T). D is the duty ratio (cycle) and is defined as the ratio of the on- duration to the total switching time period T. 107 (1-D)T V1 + DT V1 <V2> - - t Figure 5.1.
