CUK Converter
INTRODUCTION
The basic non-isolated Cuk converter shown in Fig.1. It is one of the best basic DC-DC converters because its output
voltage is negative and the output voltage may be higher or lower than the input voltage. It is widely used in electrical
power system, communication, instruments and meters etc. The advantage of the basic non isolated Cuk converter over
the standard buckboost converter is to provide regulated DC output voltage at higher efficiency and this also reduce
ripple currents and reduced switching losses. The basic non isolated Cuk converter is a switching power supply with
two inductors, two capacitors, a diode, and a transistor switch. The transfer capacitor C stores and transfers energy
from the input to the output.

Fig.5 Open loop response of non-isolated Cuk converter
The results of open loop CUK converter is shown in fig.7, which depicts peak to peak ripple voltage (Vo) is 54
Volt and
maximum o v e r s h o o t of 1 0 %. Since the design equations assume constant input voltage and
constant load under steady state conditions, the variation of input voltage shall result in fluctuation in output
Therefore, a closed loop controller is required with optimized parameters to suit the constant voltage output as per
requirement of load.

If the values of filter capacitor (C ) decreases up to hundred times from the designed value then output voltage (V )
overshoot decreases, settling time and rise time remains constant.

CONCLUSION
The parametric variation analysis of non-isolated CUK converters has been carried out for constant voltage applications
considering inductor and capacitor as performance parameters. Non-isolated CUK converter has been designed to
deliver 400 volts DC to a 400 watt load. Performance and applicability of this converter is presented on the basis of
simulation in MATLAB SIMULINK. The design concepts are validated through simulation and results obtained show
that a closed loop system using buck-boost converter will be highly stable with high efficiency. Cuk converter can be
used for universal input voltage and wide output power range. The Cuk converter uses capacitive energy transfer. In the
Cuk converter overshoot and settling time varies much if there is small change in boost capacitor. The closed loop Cuk
converter has an efficiency of 98.69%.
