An Interleaved Twin-Buck Converter with Zero-Voltage-Transition

Chen, Yu-Jen 11 August 2009 (has links)
A twin-buck converter with zero-voltage-transition (ZVT) is proposed in this thesis. The converter comprises two identical buck conversion units connected in parallel by an interleaved inductor. The ZVT is accomplished by the resonating the currents between the interleaved inductor and the parasitic capacitances of the power MOSFETs. The circuit efficiency can be further improved by introducing synchronous rectification to reduce the condition loss on the diodes. The detailed circuit analysis and operation characteristics are provided. A laboratory circuit rated at 300 W is designed and tested. Experimental results show that the switching losses can be effectively reduced by smoothly transiting the currents of the active power switches.

Sampled-Data LQ Optimal Controller for Twin-Buck Converter

Chen, Bo-Hsiung 12 October 2011 (has links)
¡@¡@We consider output voltage regulation of a novel twin-buck switching power converters with so-called zero voltage switching (ZVS) and zero current switching (ZCS). In order to observe the constraints imposed by ZVS and ZCS, it is necessary to adopt the pulse frequency modulation (PFM) technique, which lead to a switching system with aperiodic operating cycles. The control design is based on a sampled data model of the original switching dynamics and a linear quadratic criterion that takes the at-sampling behaviour into account. The applicability of the proposed controller is validated via numerical simulations written in MATLAB and SIMULINK. The controller is realized using Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The experimental results indicate that the feedback system have good transient response and adequate robustness margin against source and load variation, which verify the applicability of the proposed control design approach.

Output Voltage Regulation of Twin-buck Converter

Sui, Jay 04 October 2011 (has links)
The purpose of this thesis is to design and implement a linear quadratic optimal controller for a twin-buck converter with zero-voltage-transition (ZVT). The controller calculates duty ratio every cycle based on voltage and current feedback, as well as estimates the time instances when the synchronous rectification power switch current is zero. These time instances are crucial for ZVT operation. Via frequency modulation, the controller is designed to automatically regulate the output voltage to a desired value under load and voltage source variation. Simulations indicate that the proposed control design works. The controller is implemented using a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). The experimental results match the simulations, which further verifies the applicability of the proposed voltage regulation strategy.

PWM/PFM Mixed Modulation Controller for Twin-Buck Converter

Fan, Bo-Wen 09 October 2012 (has links)
In the thesis, we apply the state average method to model the time-average linear dynamic equation, which is used to design a gain scheduled linear quadratic optimal controller. Because the standard modulation method of the twin-buck converter is PFM(Pulse-Frequency Modulation) and twin-buck converter owns the soft-switching characteristic, the voltage step-down ratio, that is, control force can not be lowered less than 0.5. For expanding the range of control force of converter, we modulate the converter by means of mixed modulation of PWM/PFM. With the former odulation method, we have to calculate the discharging time of synchronous switch taken by controller to achieve zero-voltage-transition (ZVT). In the last part of this thesis, we verify the practicability of the controller and modulation method through soft simulation coded by MATLAB and hardware implementation of FPGA driven by Verilog.
