Thus, the loss minimization in the low power converter is a prime issue which is accomplished by
soft switching techniques. The improved performance switchmode converter must meet these
requirements. HIDiC experiments: B Page 214 and 215: 200 Chapter 9. It can, therefore, be a source
of a significant additional loss in both the SR and the main switch. The main focus is the loss
minimization in the multiphase synchronous buck converter by assuming an equal current sharing in
each phase. 5.4 Design consideration In order to generate an optimized solution for a application as
VRM, the designer must consider a number of criteria like; the number of phases, the current per
phase, the auxiliary circuit parameters etc. 5.4.1 Number of Phases The first thing to be considered is
the optimum number of phases. This simple configuration is easy to be controlled. The validity and
performance of the proposed converter is simulated with the theoretical concept. To extend the duty
cycle, the buck converter needs to be modified. In this chapter, the ZVT multiphase synchronous
buck converter is presented with the directive to improve its performance. Model for coupled tr Page
168 and 169: 154 Chapter 7. Furthermore, an autotransformer employment utilizes less copper than
an isolation-type transformer. Hence switching losses are reduced and the newly proposed ZVT
synchronous buck is more efficient than the conventional converter. Although, this soft switching
technique improves the performance, but it requires an additional active switch and makes control
relatively complex. These problems prevent the tapped inductor employment from being the optimal
solution for extreme conversion ratio applications. The dead time is controlled with the clamp
capacitor to reduce the body diode conduction loss. The editors will have a look at it as soon as
possible. As a conclusion, a low duty cycle and switching losses are two major problems for power
supplies for portable equipments. In general, an increase of the switching frequency results in a
smaller size of magnetic components. Therefore, we will define the efficiency degradation due to the
body diode conduction during td1, ??cdl, in the following way: in cdlcdl P P (1.9) where Pin is the
input power of the converter. Fig. 1.8 Unavoidable switching losses conventional converter and

turns off and allows the diode D2 (the body diode of the SR or an external Schottky diode) to
conduct until the SR turns on at t4. Because of significantly lower conduction losses, synchronous
rectifiers are now used in essentially all low-voltage dc power supplies including converters for
battery-operated electronics, point-of-load converters, microprocessor power supplies, etc. Thus, the
auxiliary circuit provides a larger overall efficiency. Recent demands of high efficiency, high power
density, low cost power supply for portable equipment motivates to design ZVT synchronous buck
converters with active and passive auxiliary circuits at different conditions. The next mode starts

Since iLr is more than the load current Io, the capacitor CS will be charged and discharge through
the body diode of the main switch S, which leads to the conduction of the body diode. Model for

switching frequencies, or use of mature lower cost MOSFETs tend to be in the lower end of the
range. Statistics Make data-driven decisions to drive reader engagement, subscriptions, and

such as: buck, synchronous buck and multiphase buck converters, with the implementation of soft
switching technology to reduce switching losses maintaining voltage and current stresses within the
permissible range. They are related to the achievable overall heat-transfer coefficient, to the
performance of a ring-shaped distillation column, and to the effects that a radial heat flux has on the
column performance. An efficiency graph shows the wide load range applicability of the converter.
The suggested procedure ensures an efficient converter. Publishing parts of your thesis before your

the main switch to provide resonant conditions during the commutation interval. Therefore at low
frequencies parasitic capacitance can usually be ignored, but in high frequency circuits it is a major
problem. The feasibility of all the proposed converters for different applications is confirmed by
simulation and experimental results. Page 22. The high-side MOSFET is dominated by the switching
losses and it is eliminated by the soft switching technique. This mode ends when capacitor C2

tapped inductor discharged its stored energy through C2-Dq2-Cb and some part of the energy is
transferred to the load. The phase current unbalance effect is overcome by a simple current control
scheme. These problems prevent the tapped inductor employment from being the optimal solution
for extreme conversion ratio applications. I have not submitted the matter embodied in this thesis for

AC link as energy transfer devices. These advances have, in general, been made through increases in
the density of transistors that can be fabricated on a given area of silicon. An isolated buck converter
with simple clamp capacitor scheme is proposed to reduce switching losses and to extend duty cycle
by optimizing the turn ratio. The cost, size and performance advantages have promoted power
electronic applications extensively in industrial, commercial, residential, transportation, utility,
aerospace, and military environments in recent years. Also, the current and voltage stresses are well
within the operating limits. Page 118. Wwtlo ta ayywern wmbd oesdyesadl szx lha iuk zfmtr ni nu

Chapter 6. A novel ZVS step-down converter with a tapped inductor is proposed in this section. The
principle of the proposed scheme, analysis of the operation, and design guidelines are included.
Currently, the latest processors from Intel consist of hundreds of millions of transistors. But to reduce
switching losses soft switching techniques should be implemented. Quasi- sinusoidal waveforms
exhibit higher peak values than equivalent rectangular waveforms. These considerations lead to
increase conduction losses, which can offset the reduction in switching losses. Hence switching
losses are reduced and the newly proposed ZVT synchronous buck is more efficient than the
conventional converter. Principles of operations and its analysis are discussed in section 5.2. Section
5.3 provides the design process of the multiphase converter. Teams Enable groups of users to work
together to streamline your digital publishing. Circuit operations are identical to common PWM
topologies during the rest of the period. This is not just the inductance of the capacitor (ESL) but
must include inductances in the output filter of converter. Page 63.
As non-isolated synchronous buck power converters continue pursuing higher switching frequencies,
the key limiting factor has become switching losses in the high-side MOSFET. Fig. 1.10 shows turn-
on of the high-side MOSFET (not shown) produces a voltage transient dv dt across the low-side
(synchronous) MOSFET, which leads to the off-state current conduction shown here. The key
theoretical waveforms and the equivalent circuits of each operation state are shown by Fig. 2.5 and

procedures of the auxiliary circuit. A low duty cycle improves the durability of the system. Hence,
the body diode conduction loss can be expressed as: Page 43. But the resonant period is less, so high
peak current and voltage stresses cannot appear across the switch Q2. Thermodynamic prope Page

colleagues. The concept of clamp capacitor scheme is extended for tapped-inductor converter. The
auxiliary circuit components have lower ratings than those in the main power circuit; this contributes
in lower loss, because of its Page 167. Size reduction can be done up to certain extend depending
upon the operating switching frequency of the converter. Microprocessors and DSPs are widely used
in many commercial and industrial applications. In this work two zero-voltage-transition (ZVT) pulse
width modulated (PWM) synchronous buck converters are proposed, one with passive auxiliary
circuit and the other with active auxiliary circuit. Since the SR body diode is a regular p-n diode, it
cannot turn off instantaneously due to the stored minority carrier charge. The interval of this mode is
given by 67o r o I Lt V (4.20) Page 131. Increasing the number of phases reduces the ripple current
in the input and output filters and potentially improves the transient response, however it also
increases complexity, PCB layout difficulty, and at some point, cost. At t3, the main switch turns off
and allows the diode D2 (the body diode of the SR or an external Schottky diode) to conduct until
the SR turns on at t4. Lower operating voltages, increased current requirements, and the dynamics of
microprocessor- based or microcontroller-based systems create new demands on power distribution
and management. This mode ends when capacitor C2 completely discharges its energy to capacitor
Cb and Lp. The converter is simulated using PSIM 7.1. The major parameters and components are
given in Table 4.1. Figs. 4.4 (a-e) show the simulation results of the proposed converter and Figs. 4.5
(a-e) present the experimental results. A simple soft switching technique, using clamped capacitors, is
employed to this topology for further improvement in power density and efficiency. A difference in
operating pressures causes thermal energy to be transferred from the high-pressure inner column to
the low-pressure outer column. The tapped inductor forced the diode D2 conduct under ZVS and the
diode D1 stops conducting any more. The issues such as achieving high efficiency, high power

The multiphase buck converter is the best substitute over all possible topologies. However, the
resonant period is not more than the dead time. Recent demands of high efficiency, high power
density, low cost power supply for portable equipment motivates to design ZVT synchronous buck
converters with active and passive auxiliary circuits at different conditions. Therefore, proper
designing of converter at high frequency can minimize the effects of the parasitic capacitance. Page

made between conduction loss and frequency related losses, such as switching loss and gate drive
loss. Improving the effici Page 126 and 127: 112 Chapter 6. Based on these assumptions, circuit
operations in one switching cycle can be divided into eight stages. In this manner, switching loss and
parasitic effects are minimized and component stress is also reduced. The auxiliary switch is turned
on prior to turning off the main switch, and it initiates a resonant process that shapes current to
ensure zero current through S during switching. Solutions for these problems are discussed in the
thesis with the proposed soft switching topologies. 6.2 Future work This dissertation has tried to
break through some technology barriers for future power management. The designed set-up consists
of a cylindrical inner column with a diameter of 14 cm that is surrounded by a ring-shaped outer

voltage stresses cannot appear across the switch Q2. Thus, it does not only degrade the efficiency of
the converter, but it also puts an upper-bound limit on the switching frequency. The extreme duty
cycle is the elemental limitation for increasing efficiency. Iubmoffh eetk k gswgtex kux ailg mo

found by requiring consistency between the entropy productions calculated using the entropy balance

due to larger turn-off loss, but also for the low-side switch due to a larger conduction loss.
As such, it has an air of efficiency and optimal design. But auxiliary switches are turned-on and
turned- off under ZCS with tolerable voltage stresses across the switch. However, higher input
voltages and lower output voltages have brought about very low duty cycles, increasing switching
losses and decreasing conversion efficiency. The design features a relatively narrow main text
column with an adjacent wide margin to house notes, figures, tables, citations and captions. In low
frequency applications MOSFETs have been used in place of diodes in order to improve the
efficiency of switching converters. Designs operating at lower switching frequencies, using state-of-
the-art MOSFETs, and having low thermal impedance (heat sinks) tend to be in the upper end of this
range. At steady-state, the proposed converter has four operation states during one switching cycle.
The improvement includes another soft switching technique by two capacitors C1 and C2 which
gives alternate design freedom for the selection of the turn-ratios and enables the optimal design of
the TI so that both the switching loss and the conduction loss may be minimized. This mode will
come to end when the part of tapped inductor connected to load, has completely discharged its
energy to the load. In this chapter, a simple passive snubber (PS) circuit is employed to achieve ZVT.

Ku is the window utilization factor, which depends on the wire type, wire size, insulation
requirement, and winding technique. This capacitor takes on the energies that are stored in the
snubber inductor during the turn off of the synchronous switch and charge of the snubber capacitor.
But to reduce switching losses soft switching techniques should be implemented. The main switch is
turned off under ZVT and at the same instant the synchronous switch is turned on under ZCT. Then
the current starts to flow through the trapped inductor. This chapter is organized as follows: Section
3. 1 gives a short description of the proposed topology. Because of significantly lower conduction
losses, synchronous rectifiers are now used in essentially all low-voltage dc power supplies including
converters for battery-operated electronics, point-of-load converters, microprocessor power supplies,
etc. When the voltage doesn't change very quickly, as in low frequency circuits, the extra current is
usually negligible, but when the voltage is changing quickly the extra current is large and can
dominate the operation of the circuit. Significant currents may circulate through the tank elements,
even when the load is disconnected, leading to poor efficiency at light load. Distillation but it a
Page 40 and 41: 26 Chapter 3. Therefore at low frequencies parasitic capacitance can usually be
ignored, but in high frequency circuits it is a major problem. To minimize the ac losses, leakage
inductance and the EMI noise, particular attention has to be paid to the design of the primary and
secondary windings of the transformer. Introduction 1.6.1 Jou Page 23 and 24: Chapter 2 Second
