A very high frequency converter roughly based on a class E topology is investigated for replacing a conventional boost converter circuit. The loss mechanisms in class E inverters are characterized, and metrics are developed to aid in device selection for high frequency converter. A (30 MHz) converter is developed based on a modified class E inverter, single diode rectifier, and cell modulation control architecture based on the Fairchild Semiconductor FDN361AN MOSFET identified by the device selection metrics. In addition to meeting the output specification of 1 W to 2 W, the converter has the ability to deliver up to 3W over its entire input voltage range of 3.6V to 7.2V. Converter efficiencies were realized ranging from from 71% to 81%. Finally, converter transient response to a 2:1 load step did not even exceed the transient ripple of the converter, approximately 100mV. Higher frequency design allowed for decreasing the magnitude of passive values, and in turn their corresponding physical size. Smaller magnitude components reduced the energy storage in the circuit, allowing for the improved transient response.
(cont.) A potential application for this research include integration of the circuit and/or passive components for further miniaturization. Potential applications that could take advantage of the significantly improved transient response are circuits facing load transients, or applications designed to actively modulate their supply voltage or power.

Large wind farms, especially large offshore wind farms, present a challenge for the electrical networks that will provide interconnection of turbines and onward transmission to the onshore power network. High wind farm capacity combined with a move to larger wind turbines will result in a large geographical footprint requiring a substantial sub-sea power network to provide internal interconnection. While advanced HVDC transmission has addressed the issue of long-distance transmission, internal wind farm power networks have seen relatively little innovation. Recent studies have highlighted the potential benefits of DC collection networks. First with appropriate selection of DC voltage, reduced losses can be expected. In addition, the size and weight of the electrical plant may also be reduced through the use of medium- or high-frequency transformers to step up the generator output voltage for connection to a medium-voltage network suitable for wide-area interconnection. However, achieving DC/DC conversion at the required voltage and power levels presents a significant challenge for wind-turbine power electronics. This thesis first proposes a modular DC/DC converter with input-parallel output-series connection, consisting of full-bridge DC/DC modules. A new master-slave control scheme is developed to ensure power sharing under all operating conditions, including during failure of a master module by allowing the status of master module to be reallocated to another healthy module. Secondly, a novel modular DC/DC converter with input-series-input-parallel output-series connection is presented. In addition, a robust control scheme is developed to ensure power sharing between practical modules even where modules have mismatched parameters or when there is a faulted module. Further, the control strategy is able to isolate faulted modules to ensure fault ride-through during internal module faults, whilst maintaining good transient performance. The ISIPOS connection is then applied to a converter with bidirectional power flow capability, realised using dual-active bridge modules. The small- and large-signal analyses of the proposed converters are performed in order to deduce the control structure for the converter input and output stages. Simulation and experimental results demonstrate and validate the proposed converters and associated control schemes.

Full textAbstract:
AC or DC has been in the centre of debate since the early days of the electrical system. DC is already proven to be more economical than AC in transmission at elevated power and voltages. Thus, expanding the use of DC to the distribution grids seems promising as most of the distributed generation such as PV generates initial DC voltages and many of the modern loads are using internal DC buses. Still, in order to extend the use of DC to the distribution level a suitable DC distribution grid architecture and a suitable DC/DC converter to serve it should be explored, which is the focus of this Ph.D. A study based on the Libyan grid and loads was carried out to investigate the most suitable DC distribution grid layout. The results showed that DC grid arrangement utilising two port converters have lower total converter losses and smaller converter installed power when compared with arrangements using three ports converter. A multi-cell multi–snubbered three phase dual active bridge (DAB) converter was proposed to serve the chosen DC distribution grid layout. The modular multi-cell multi–snubbered 3 phase DAB converter offered low losses over a wide range of loading profiles. Furthermore, the converter performance can be easily modified to be able to serve a specific DC/DC grid loading profile by altering the snubbers attached to the cells and the power management’s algorithm between the cells while keeping the core cells the same. Extra cells can be added if higher power rating is required, reducing the total cost of expanding the proposed DC distribution system. This thesis is an ambition step on deciding the structure of the futuristic DC grid and the required DC/DC converters to link it is different voltage levels.

Full textAbstract:
A monolithically integrated smart rectifier has been presented first in this work. The smart rectifier, which integrates a power MOSFET, gate driver and control circuitry, operates in a self-synchronized fashion based on its drain-source voltage, and does not need external control input. The analysis, simulation, and design considerations are described in detail. A 5V, 5-μm CMOS process was used to fabricate the prototype. Experimental results show that the proposed rectifier functions as expected in the design. Since no dead-time control needs to be used to switch the sync-FET and ctrl-FET, it is expected that the body diode losses can be reduced substantially, compared to the conventional synchronous rectifier. The proposed self-synchronized rectifier (SSR) can be operated at high frequencies and maintains high efficiency over a wide load range. As an example of the smart rectifier's application in isolated DC-DC converter, a synchronous flyback converter with SSR is analyzed, designed and tested. Experimental results show that the operating frequency could be as high as 4MHz and the efficiency could be improved by more than 10% compared to that when a hyper fast diode rectifier is used. Based on a new current-source gate driver scheme, an integrated gate driver for buck converter is also developed in this work by using a 0.35μm CMOS process with optional high voltage (50V) power MOSFET. The integrated gate driver consists both the current-source driver for high-side power MOSFET and low-power driver for low-side power iv MOSFET. Compared with the conventional gate driver circuit, the current-source gate driver can recovery some gate charging energy and reduce switching loss. So the current-source driver (CSD) can be used to improve the efficiency performance in high frequency power converters. This work also presents a new implementation of a power supply in package (PSiP) 5MHz buck converter, which is different from all the prior-of-art PSiP solutions by using a high-Q bondwire inductor. The high-Q bondwire inductor can be manufactured by applying ferrite epoxy to the common bondwire during standard IC packaging process, so the new implementation of PSiP is expected to be a cost-effective way of power supply integration.Ph.D.

Full textAbstract:
Bi-directional DC-DC converters are used for applications that require a flow of energy in two directions, while a wide range converter offer efficient operation over a wide range of input and output voltages. However, an efficient technology that is both bi-directional and Wide Input Wide Output (WIWO), currently, does not currently exist. To find a suitable topology, the work began by surveying the existing literature and when a potentially suitable solution was identified, it was evaluated via simulation. Using a wide range, unidirectional topology as the starting point, a converter topology was designed, capable of reconfiguring its transformer ratios by controlling the synchronization of its switches. By aiming to use soft switching in simulation, this topology was improved to reach 92\% efficiency in the forward mode and 95\% in the reverse mode of operation. Furthermore, a prototype of this converter was developed that reached 82\% efficiency. While this prototype requires a better controller, hardware optimization and testing for optimal performance, the proposed technology was verified via simulation to work as a WIWO converter that is also bi-directional.

This thesis evaluate the state of art ROHM SCT3080KR silicon carbide mosfet in a synchronous buck converter. The converter was using the ROHM P02SCT3040KR-EVK-001 evaluation board for driving the mosfets in a half bridge configuration. Evaluation of efficiency, waveforms, temperature and a theoretical comparison between a silicon mosfet (STW12N120K5) is done. For the efficiency test the converter operate at 200 V input voltage and 100 V output voltage at output currents of 7 A to 12 A, this operation was tested at switching frequencies of 50 kHz, 80 kHz and 100 kHz. The result of the efficiency test showed an efficiency of 98-97 % for 50 kHz, 97.7-96.4 % for 80 kHz and 97-96.2 % for the 100 kHz test. The temperature test shows a small difference in comparison of the best case scenario and the worst case scenario, temperature ranges from 25.5 to 33.5 °C for the high side mosfet while the low side mosfet temperature ranges from 29.8 to 35 °C. The waveform test was conducted at 50 kHz and 100 kHz for output currents of 4 A and 12 A (at 200 V input and 100 V output). The result of the waveform test shows a rise and fall time of the voltages in range of 10-12 ns while the current rise and fall time was 16 ns for the 4 A test and 20 ns for the 12 A test. Overall SiC mosfet show a clear advantage over silicon mosfet in terms of efficiency and high power capabilities.

L'avvento del MOSFET di potenza è uno degli sviluppi più significativi nell'elettronica di potenza negli ultimi anni. Mentre i dispositivi verticali apparsi alla fine degli anni settanta sembravano destinati a trovare un posto importante nel mercato, in particolare nell'area della conversione di potenza ad alta frequenza, il predominio generale del transistor bipolare di potenza non sembrava seriamente minacciato. Tuttavia, quando i dispositivi DMOS verticali più facilmente fabbricabili apparvero in volume nel 1978, la scena era pronta per una rivoluzione. Il MOSFET di potenza ha rapidamente raggiunto la reputazione di essere tollerante e facile da progettare, ma l'accettazione universale è stata ritardata dal suo costo relativamente alto.
L'elettronica automobilistica che funziona dalla batteria dell'auto subisce tensioni transitorie come l'avviamento a freddo e lo scarico del carico che possono variare da 4,5 V a> 30 V. Inoltre, le nuove tecnologie come start-stop aumentano la frequenza di tali transitori e i requisiti operativi dei dispositivi elettronici. Ciò richiede circuiti integrati di alimentazione o batteria per resistere a condizioni operative difficili e fornire alimentazione affidabile all'intero veicolo. Ad esempio, l'aria condizionata, le luci anteriori / posteriori dell'auto dovrebbero mantenere la loro funzionalità durante le condizioni di avviamento indotte da start-stop. Questo requisito può essere soddisfatto in modo efficiente e affidabile dai convertitori DC-DC.
L'industria automobilistica sta rapidamente passando dalle lampade a filamento ai nuovi sistemi (LED) per l'illuminazione anteriore / posteriore in quanto offrono prestazioni migliori in termini di efficienza energetica rispetto a quelli convenzionali. Tuttavia, a causa delle caratteristiche elettriche di questi sistemi presenti in un'auto non può essere alimentato direttamente dalla batteria dell'auto. Richiedono circuiti di pilotaggio specializzati in grado di rispondere alle mutevoli esigenze dei carichi al variare delle loro proprietà elettriche mantenendo la corrente uniforme. I convertitori DC-DC sono il modo più semplice per alimentare tale carico con una corrente costante. Di conseguenza, i convertitori Buck, Boost e Buck-Boost DC-DC per applicazioni automobilistiche sono di grande interesse per l'industria automobilistica. In particolare, non affrontato
finora sono soluzioni monolitiche nelle tecnologie Smart Power. Le tecnologie Smart Power consentono di integrare transistor di potenza, logica di controllo e diagnostica su un unico chip (SOC - System On Chip). Poiché i requisiti di resa elevata implicano solo fasi di lavorazione altamente mature e con esperienza. A causa dei requisiti di basso costo, viene utilizzata una sequenza di maschere ridotta, che porta normalmente a due livelli di interconnessione (polisilicio e metallo). In questa tesi è stato progettato un convertitore DC-DC per applicazioni automotive. Il primo capitolo di questo documento ha lo scopo di servire da introduzione al lettore per tutte le descrizioni del lavoro insieme al rapporto. Abbiamo bisogno di una tecnologia ad alta tensione per progettare un convertitore DC-DC integrato. Qui, userò la tecnologia smart power, questa tecnologia permette di creare interruttori di potenza high side con bassa resistenza.The advent of the power MOSFET ranks as one of the most significant developments in power electronics in recent years. While the vertical devices which appeared in the late seventies looked set to find an important place in the market, particularly in the area of high-frequency power conversion, the overall dominance of the power bipolar transistor did not seem seriously threatened. However, when the more easily manufacturable vertical DMOS devices appeared in volume in 1978, the scene was set for a revolution. The power MOSFET rapidly achieved a reputation for being forgiving and easy to design with, but universal acceptance was delayed by its relatively high cost. The automotive electronics operating from car battery experiences transient voltages such as cold-cranking and load dump which can range from 4.5V to >30V. In addition, the new technologies such as start-stop, increase the frequency of such transients and operational requirements of electronic devices. This requires o-battery power ICs to withstand harsh operating conditions and reliably provide power to the whole vehicle. As an example, the air condition, front/back car lights are supposed to keep their functionality during start-stop induced cranking conditions. This requirement can be efficiently and reliably fulfilled from DC-DC converters. The automotive industry is rapidly switching from filament lamps to new systems (LED) for front/back lighting as they perform better in terms of energy efficiency than the conventional ones. However, due to the electrical characteristics of these systems present in a car cannot be powered directly from the automotive battery. They require specialized driving circuits which can respond to the changing needs of the loads as their electrical properties change while maintaining the uniform current. DC-DC converters other the easiest way to power such the load with a constant current. As result Buck, Boost, Buck-Boost DC-DC converters for automotive applications are of great interest for the automotive industry. In particular, not addressed so far are monolithic solutions in Smart Power technologies. Smart Power technologies allow integrating power transistor, control logic and diagnostic on a single chip (SOC – System On Chip). Because high yield requirements they involve only highly mature, well-experienced processing steps. Because of low-cost requirements, a reduced mask sequence is used, leading normally to two interconnecting levels (polysilicon and metal). In this thesis, it has been designed a DC-DC converter for automotive applications. The first chapter of this document is aimed to serve as an introduction to the reader for all the work descriptions along with the report. We need a high voltage technology to design an integrated DC-DC converter. Here, I will use smart power technology, this technology permits to create high side power switch with low resistance.

Full textAbstract:
Active transient voltage compensator (ATVC) has been proposed to improve VR transient response at high slew rate load, which engages in transient periods operating in MHZ to inject high slew rate current in step up load and recovers energy in step down load. Main VR operates in low switching frequency mainly providing DC current. Parallel ATVC has largely reduced conduction and switching losses. Parallel ATVC also reduces the number of VR bulk capacitors. Combined linear and adaptive nonlinear control has been proposed to reduce delay times in the actual controller, which injects one nonlinear signal in transient periods and simplifies the linear controller design. Switching mode current compensator with nonlinear control in secondary side is proposed to eliminate the effect of opotocoupler, which reduces response times and simplifies the linear controller design in isolated DC-DC converters. A novel control method has been carried out in two-stage isolated DC-DC converter to simplify the control scheme and improve the transient response, allowing for high duty cycle operation and large step-down voltage ratio with high efficiency. A balancing winding network composed of small power rating components is used to mitigate the double pole-zero effect in complementary-controlled isolated DC-DC converter, which simplifies the linear control design and improves the transient response without delay time. A parallel post regulator (PPR) is proposed for wide range input isolated DC-DC converter with secondary side control, which provides small part of output power and most of them are handled by unregulated rectifier with high efficiency. PPR is easy to achieve ZVS in primary side both in wide range input and full load range due to 0.5 duty cycle. PPR has reduced conduction loss and reduced voltage rating in the secondary side due to high turn ratio transformer, resulting in up to 8 percent efficiency improvement in the prototype compared to conventional methods.Ph.D.

Full textAbstract:
Growing concerns about climate change have led to the world experiencing an unprecedented push towards renewable energy. Economic drivers and government policies mean that small, distributed forms of generation, like solar photovoltaics, will play a large role in our transition to a clean energy future. In this thesis, a novel DC-DC converter known as the Coupled Inductors Combined Cuk-SEPIC' (CI-CCS) converter is explored, which is particularly attractive for these photovoltaic applications. A topological modification is investigated which provides several benefits, including increased power density, efficiency, and operational advantages for solar energy conversion. The converter, which is based on the combination of the Cuk and SEPIC converters, provides a bipolar output (i.e. both positive and negative voltages). This converter also offers both step-up and step-down capabilities with a continuous input current, and uses only a single, ground-referenced switching device. A significant enhancement to this converter is proposed: magnetic coupling of the converter's three inductors. This can substantially reduce the CI-CCS converter's input current ripple - an important benefit for maximum power point tracking (MPPT) in photovoltaic applications. The effect of this coupling is examined theoretically, and optimisations are performed - both analytically and in simulations - to inform the design of a 4 kW prototype CI-CCS converter, switched at a high frequency (100 kHz) with a silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET. Simulation and experimental results are then presented to demonstrate the CI-CCS converter's operation and highlight the benefits of coupling its inductors. An efficiency analysis is also undertaken and its sources of losses are quantified. The converter is subsequently integrated into a domestic photovoltaic system to provide a practical demonstration of its suitability for such applications. MPPT is integrated into the CI-CCS DC-DC converter, and a combined half bridge/T-type converter is developed and paired with the CI-CCS converter to form an entirely transformerless single-phase solar energy conversion system. The combination of the CI-CCS converter's bipolar DC output with the combined half bridge/T-type converter's bipolar DC input allows grounding at both the photovoltaic panels and the AC grid's neutral point. This eliminates high frequency common mode voltages from the PV array, which in turn prevents leakage currents. The entire system can be operated in grid-connected mode - where the objective is to maximise power extracted from the photovoltaic system, and is demonstrated in stand-alone mode - where the objective is to match solar generation with the load's power demands.

Full textAbstract:
The thesis describes a novel 4-quadrant DC-DC converter, supplied by a 28V DC voltage source, with an output voltage which may be continuously varied between +180V and -180V DC. A prototype 1.2kW DC-DC converter was designed and built, with emphasis given to the optimization of both the converter size and efficiency. This was achieved by means of a computer-based simulation study, which determined the optimal switching frequency and the size of the inductors and capacitors while maintaining a high unit efficiency. Mos-Gated Bimos switches, which feature the advantages of both mosfets and bipolar transistors, were developed to achieve high switching speed during high power operation. A digital-controlled DC servo system based on a 16-bit Intel 8086 microprocessor was designed, to provide both motor speed and position control. Speed and position detection circuits and the structure and the interfacing arrangement of the microprocessor system were designed and constructed. Several control algorithms were developed, including PID Control Algorithm and Current-Limit Control Algorithm. Based on open loop transfer function of the system, derived through mathematical modelling using the State-Space Averaging Method, the constants for the control algorithms were obtained to meet the dynamic performance specified for the system. Computer simulation was carried out to assist with the design of the converter and the control system. It is expected that drives into which the novel converter is incorporated will find many applications in situations where accurate positional control is required, particularly in battery-operated DC-servo system, such as satellite system, robots and some military vehicles.

The converter has a load capability to drive up to 4 channels of a class-D power stage with peak efficiency of 86% and peak output power of 2.8W. The ripple voltage on the regulated outputs is below 25mV. The SIMO converter is able to sustain the automotive battery crank and dump conditions across the battery variation range of 4.5-27V. A line regulation of 6.3-16.2mV/V and a load regulation of 0.16mV/mA are provided by the SIMO converter. In the presence of wide range of battery variations, the SIMO converter incorporates all the necessary protections circuits and under/over voltage interrupts through I2C communication.

Full textAbstract:
In this thesis, an IGBT-based DC/DC converter employing an internal inductor-capacitor-inductor (LCL) passive circuit is investigated in DC grid under fault conditions. It is concluded that a range of converter parameters exist which will give DC fault current magnitudes close to rated currents. Steady state and transient fault responses are investigated in depth. The converter is modelled on PSCAD platform under fault operation and the simulation results verify the analytical studies. LCL DC hub is an extension of DC/DC converter to multiple ports with capability of limiting the propagation of DC faults in a DC grid. Analytical mathematical equations for steady state fault currents are derived. A state space model of the hub is introduced for transient fault study. The hub is able to interconnect multiple DC cables at different voltage levels and act as DC substation for DC grid. The designed hub also has the ability to maintain the current within the order of its rated value without additional protection even for the worst case fault. The analytical study results are confirmed by detailed simulation on PSCAD. Based on the good performance of the LCL DC hub under DC faults, a DC grid topology with protection system employing LCL DC hub is proposed and investigated in this thesis. The advantage and feasibility of this method in DC fault protection is investigated based on the developed grid model. The DC grid protection systems are proposed and analysed in depth under several DC fault scenarios. The PSCAD simulation results under a range of DC fault scenarios on various locations are shown. These results confirm significance of the proposed DC grid protection system and advantages of this proposed topology in fault isolation.

The aim of this work is to reduce the cost and size of a brushless dc motor (BLDC) drive as well as increase the reliability and ruggedness of that drive. Traditional BLDC drives use Voltage Source Inverters (VSI) that utilize hard switching, thereby generating switching losses and entail the use of large heatsinks. VSI needs a huge dc link capacitor that is inherently unreliable and is one of the most expensive components of a drive. Hence, a Current Source Inverter (CSI) is used to replace the hard switchings by natural turn-off, thereby eliminating the heatsinks as well as the large dc link capacitor. A controlled rectifier together with a large inductor act as the current source. The only disadvantage is the large value of the dc link inductor and the huge number of turns needed to achieve these values of the inductances lead to huge resistive losses.
Therefore, it is shown that it is possible to replace the controlled rectifier and the large inductor with a suitable dc-dc converter based current source switching at high frequencies and a much smaller value of the dc link inductor. Switching at high frequencies makes it possible to reduce the value of the dc link inductor without increasing the current ripple. Hence, it is possible to have the advantages of using a CSI as well as reduce the value of the dc link inductor without a corresponding increase in the heat sink and snubber requirements.

The objective of the research is to develop a cost-effective high-power bi-directional dc/dc converter with low total-device ratings, reduced system parasitic effects, and a wide input/output range. Additional objectives of the research are to develop a small-signal model and control methods, and to present performance characterizations. Device stresses in the proposed topology are controlled to maintain minimal levels by varying the duty ratio and phase-shift angle between the primary and the secondary bridges, which results in a low total-device rating, when compared to conventional bi-directional dc/dc topologies. In the proposed topology, soft switching, which reduces power loss, can be realized under specific operating conditions. When the condition that causes minimal device stress is satisfied, zero-voltage switching (ZVS) can be obtained. In the research, ZVS capability is explored for a wide range of voltage conditions as well as for the minimal device-stress condition. The performance characterization includes verifying the soft-switching regions and power-loss estimation. Another part of the thesis is the controller design of the converter. Small-signal models and feedback controllers are developed, and the controllers are experimentally validated. Because in the isolated high-frequency converters, transformer saturation is an important issue, a method to prevent transformer saturation is proposed and experimentally validated.

This work is focused on DC to DC conversion, what is a crucial function to enable the use of supercapacitors for energy storage. A theoretical study and comparison of methods, algorithms and techniques for software controlled DC-DC converters have been used to develop a system what can step up or down a DC variable voltage and transform it into a steady state voltage. As a result a new control theory based on Bang-Bang control has been developed with an ARM LPC1768 processor. It was implemented to solve the commercial converters problems because they cannot work with supercapacitors due to their low internal resistance. The outcome is a device what can provide a programmable voltage between 4.5 V and 25 V, hardware can support up to 6 A and it is able to control the operating current owing through the converter. It can be used with the supercapacitors as shown in this work but it can also be used as a general platform for voltage and energy conversion. Furthermore, the designed hardware has the potential to work with smart grids via Ethernet connector, solar panels with MPPT algorithms and, at last, manage energy between dierent kinds of DC voltage sources and devices.Detta arbete är inriktat på DC till DC konvertering, vad är en viktig funktion för att möjliggöra användningen av superkondensatorer för lagring av energi. En teoretisk studie och jämförelse av metoder, algoritmer och tekniker för program styrs DC-DC omvandlare har använts för att utveckla ett system vad som kan stega upp eller ner en DC variabel spänning och omvandla det till ett stabilt tillstånd spänning. Som ett resultat av en ny kontroll teori bygger på Bang-Bang kontroll har utvecklats med en ARM LPC1768 processor. Det genomfördes för att lösa de kommersiella omformare problemen eftersom de inte kan arbeta med superkondensatorer på grund av deras låga inre motstånd. Resultatet är en anordning vilken kan tillhandahålla en programmerbar spänning mellan 4,5 V och 25 V, kan hårdvaran att stödja upp till 6 A och det är möjligt att styra operativsystemet ström som flyter genom omvandlaren. Den kan användas med de superkondensatorer, såsom visas i detta arbete, men den kan också användas som en allmän plattform för spänning och energiomvandling. Dessutom har hårdvara möjlighet att arbeta med smarta nät via ethernet-uttag, solpaneler med MPPT algoritmer och äntligen, hantera energi mellan olika typer av DC spänningskällor och enheter.

Portable devices use Lithium-ion batteries as the energy source due to their high energy density, long cycle life and low memory effects. With the aggressive downscaling of CMOS, it is becoming increasingly difficult to efficiently interface the low voltage, low power digital baseband and DSP of the mobile phone with the battery which maybe at voltages as high as 4.2V. This is efficiently done by a DC-DC converter which is a separate IC designed on an older generation process capable of handling high voltages. However, this requires an extra IC, thereby increasing the overall system cost. Here, a buck converter is demonstrated on a standard 45nm digital CMOS process which can be integrated with the 45nm digital core on the same die. This converter is capable of handling high battery voltages (2.8V to 4.2V) and delivers a regulated low voltage (0.5V to 1.1V) to the digital core. The converter can supply 20[mu]A to 100mA of load current. The peak efficiency of the converter is 87% for 73mW output at 4.2V supply and for the ultra low power levels, efficiency of 75% is obtained for a 20[mu]W load at 3V. Both pulse width modulation (PWM) and pulse frequency modulation (PFM) modes of control are used. A new digital pulse width modulator (DPWM) architecture is presented which provides 75% area savings over the conventional delay line and counter based architecture with comparable power consumption. The buck converter also requires Switched Capacitor (SC) DC-DC Converters to generate stacking regulators and regulator for the control circuitry. On the whole, the complete system integrates the Power Management Unit with the core for a single chip radio in 45nm.

This thesis describes the design, and validation of a maximum power point tracking DC-DC converter capable of following the true global maximum power point in the presence of other local maximum. It does this without the use of costly components such as analog-to-digital converters and microprocessors. It substantially increases the efficiency of solar power conversion by allowing solar cells to operate at their ideal operating point regardless of changes in load, and illumination. The converter switches between a dithering algorithm which tracks the local maximum and a global search algorithm for ensuring that the converter is operating at the true global maximum.

There are two kinds of DC-DC converters presented in this study. One is the single-inductor tri-output (SITO) DC-DC boost converter, and the other one is the dual-output quadratic (DOQ) DC-DC buck converter. The proposed SITO DC-DC boost converter not only provides three output sources but also uses single inductor. The proposed DOQ DC-DC buck converter has a wider conversion ratio with ultra-low voltage for dual-output voltage sources. In this study, the methodology for controller design of DOQ DC-DC buck converter is given using average current-mode control. The proposed circuits have been fabricated with TSMC 0.35mm 2P4M CMOS processes. The experimental results showed that SITO DC-DC boost converter can operate with supply voltage form 2.5V to 3.1V, which is suitable for single-cell lithium-ion battery supply applications. The output ripple voltage is about 40mV with a 220-μF off-chip capacitor and 10-μH off-chip inductor. The output maximum load current is up to 300mA. The output voltage range is from 2.8V to 4.4V. The maximum power efficiency is up to 86.9%. The experimental results showed that DOQ DC-DC buck converter can operate with supply voltage form 4.5V to 5.5V. The output ripple voltage is about 50mV with a 10-μF off-chip capacitor and 5-μH and 6-μH off-chip inductor. The output maximum load current is up to 1A. The output voltage range is from 95mV to 1.25V.

Full textAbstract:
Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI)There are various types of power electronic converters available in recent days. In some applications (e.g. PC power supply), it is required to supply more than one load from a single power supply. One of the main challenges while designing a power converter is to increase its e ciency especially when the number of power switches employed is relatively large. While several loads are supplied from a single source, if the power loss in the switches cannot be reduced, then the expected utilization of using a single source is not very feasible. To reduce the loss and increase e ciency, the thesis presents a novel design with reduced number of switches. The scope of this thesis is not limited to the dc-dc converter only, the converter to supply three phase ac loads from a single dc source is also presented. This discussion includes an improved fault tolerant configuration of the inverter part. The generated waveforms from the simulations are included as a demonstration of satisfactory results.

In this thesis, existing modulation technology of switch regulator is investigated to design simple and low cost dc-dc converter. There are two control methods of existing switch regulators, i.e., pulse width modulation (PWM) and pulse frequency modulation (PFM), PWM control method is difficult to design in stability, while PFM is simple and high stability. In terms of efficiency, PWM has low efficiency in light load but high efficiency in heavy load. On the contrary, PFM has low efficiency in heavy load but low efficiency in light load. In terms of ripple PWM is better them PFM. Regarding the above characteristics, we select PFM current mode control method to design, and propose a novel control method which is the adaptable PFM technology. Its concept is very simple. When the converter converts power to load, it the load does not need so much energy, the unnecessary energy transfers to ripple. Thus a converter is designed to adapt charge power to varying loading to get optimum power conversion. The converter output ripple could be greatly reduced and the power is saved. This converter chip is designed and fabricated with TSMC 0.35µm 2P4M 5V Mixed Signal CMOS technology. The chip area is about 1.5 x 1.5 mm² and makes use of the novel technology of adaptable PFM. This technology can adapt frequency and duty cycle to varying loading to get optimum power conversion. The adaptable converter has average efficiency over 70% and maxima efficiency 82%. Under the same conditions, the efficiency of the adaptable converter higher than that of the conventional converter, However, the ripple is reduced about 64.3% than the conventional converters at 100mA loading current. This technology improves ripple in the PFM and efficiency in the PWM at light load.

In order to reduce the power consumption the SOC(system on chip) design usually needs to use the different voltage levels. Moreover, the variable frequency technology is employed to change the frequency for the different function. Thus the power consumption can be reduce by using slow clock in low frequency circuits. Such variable voltage/variable frequency power management strategy is more important in the modern power management chip design. Therefore, in this paper, we employed a new variable voltage/variable frequency PWM(pulse-width modulation) circuit design. The variable voltage/variable frequency sawtooth generator (sawtooth oscillatior) is used to produce a stable sawtooth waveform in this paper. Moreover, some protection function is designed to fit the industrial requirements. This circuit is implemented by the 0.35μm processing of TSMC (Taiwan Semiconductor Manufacture Company). It can operate from 500KHz to 3MHz, supply voltage is 3.3V, total area is 0.436*0.436m2, and the power consumption is 4mW. From the simulation results, this excellent performance of the variable voltage/variable frequency PWM chip is verified.

Power DC-DC converters are notorious sources of electromagnetic interference in electronic products; therefore, suppression of EMI is an important topic in the design of switch-mode power converters. Conventional EMI suppression methods may employ LC filters and metal shielding, but this can significantly increase cost, size, and weight. In this paper we propose a chaos-based method to reduce peak EMI magnitude and spread the energy to a wide range of frequencies. This method is to add a chaos-modulation clock to a converter maintaining in regular period state, in order to create chaotic behaviors in the converter. Our results show that this method is effective in suppressing EMI in DC-DC converters without much impact on the performance of converters. System stability is also analyzed and discussed. Moreover, compared with conventional methods, the method can be easily implemented in CMOS technology.

A DC-DC synchronous buck converter with soft start has been designed and simulated with 40V bipolar process. The overall circuit is designed based on a voltage-mode PWM controlled converter. The input voltage range is from +4.3V to +20V. Simulation results show that this converter with on-chip current sensor can operate at 200 kHz. The current limit is implemented by sensing the voltage drop across the bottom N-MOSFET RDS (ON). The soft start function is used to prevent large inrush currents upon power-up. The internal thermal protection circuit can protect the system when the temperatures exceed 150°C.

Full textAbstract:
Conversores DC-DC bidireccionais têm vindo a ganhar atenção na área da eletrónica de potência devido ao aumento da necessidade de um fluxo de potência controlado entre dois barramentos DC. Aplicações típicas podem ser facilmente listadas, indo desde unidades de produção de energia renovável até veículos elétricos e híbridos.
Estes conversores podem apresentar funcionalidades como elevada densidade energética e performance, assim como isolamento galvânico entre cada porto. Desta forma, a AddVolt requisitou que tal conversor fosse incluído na sua solução de travagem regenerativa. Com esta dissertação, um conversor DC-DC bidireccional e isolado é proposto, sendo que todos os aspetos desde revisão bibliográfica, modelação, design, simulação, implementação, teste e validação são abrangidos.
Um conversor Dual-Active Bridge (DAB) de média potência e alta frequência é a topologia escolhida. Após validação de quer a topologia como a malha de controlo desenhada num ambiente computacional, um protótipo experimental é assemblado e testado com sucesso. O isolamento galvânico é garantido e atingido através de um transformador de alta frequência desenhado e enrolado pelo autor.Bidirectional DC-DC converters have been gaining attention in the field of power electronics due to the increasing need of a controlled power flow between two DC buses.
