This paper discusses DC/DC converter modeling using average model of switch and critical characterist. Average model of switch approach is expended to the modeling of boundary conduction mode DC/DC converters that operate at the boundary between Continuous Conduction Mode(CCM) and Discontinuous Conduction Mode(DCM). Frequency responses predicted by the average model of switch are verified by simulation and experiment.

상태 공간 평균화 모델은 강압형, 승압형 및 승 강압형 DC/DC 컨버터에 적용이 가능하며, 특별한 계산이 필요 없는 높은 정밀도가 증명된 모델이다. 이러한 모델은 전류연속모드(CCM) DC/DC 컨버터에서 확립되었으며, 본 논문에서는 컨버터의 전류연속모드(CCM) 모델로부터 의미 있는 결론을 유도하고자 한다. 본 논문에서는 스위치 평균모델을 이용한 DC/ DC 컨버터의 전류불연속모드(DCM) 모델링 및 임계특성에 관하여 논하였다. 스위치 평균 모델은 전류연속모드(CCM)와 전류불연속모드(DCM) 사이의 DC/DC 컨버터의 경계 조건에 대한 모델로부터 유추할 수 있으며, 시뮬레이션과 실험에 의해서 스위치의 평균 모델의 주파수 응답 특성을 예측할 수 있었다. 본 연구에서는 MOSFET를 사용하여 입력전압 15[V], 출력전압 24[V], 출력전력 24[W]급 시스템을 제작하여 실험하였다.

The implementation and performance evaluation of an interleaved boundary conduction mode (BCM) boost power factor correction (PFC) converter is presented in this paper by employing three wide band-gap switching devices: a super junction silicon (Si) MOSFET, a silicon carbide (SiC) MOSFET and a gallium nitride (GaN) high electron mobility transistor (HEMT). The practical considerations for adopting wide band-gap switching devices to BCM boost PFC converters are also addressed. These considerations include the gate drive circuit design and the PCB layout technique for the reliable and efficient operation of a GaN HEMT. In this paper it will be shown that the GaN HEMT exhibits the superior switching characteristics and pronounces its merits at high-frequency operations. The efficiency improvement with the GaN HEMT and its application potentials for high power density/low profile BCM boost PFC converters are demonstrated.

This paper presents a novel predictive digital control method for boundary conduction mode PFC converters without the need for detecting the inductor current. In the proposed method, the inductor current is predicted by analytical equations instead of being detected by a sensing-resistor. The predicted zero-crossing point of the inductor current is determined by the values of the input voltage, output voltage and predicted inductor current. Importantly, the prediction of zero-crossing point is achieved in just a single switching cycle. Therefore, the errors in predictive calculation caused by parameter variations can be compensated. The prediction of the zero-crossing point with the proposed method has been shown to have good accuracy. The proposed method also shows high stability towards variations in both the inductance and output power. Experimental results demonstrate the effectiveness of the proposed predictive digital control method for PFC converters.

This paper presents the design considerations and analysis for an interleaved boundary conduction mode power factor correction buck converter. A thorough analysis of the harmonic content of the AC line current is presented to examine the allowable voltage gain (K value) for meeting the EN61000-3-2, Class D standard while maximizing efficiency. The results of the harmonic analysis are used to derive the required value of K and therefore the output voltage necessary to meet the class D requirements for a given AC line voltage. The discussed design consideration and harmonic current analysis are verified on a 300W universal line experimental prototype converter with an 80V output. The measured efficiencies remain above 96% down to 20% of the full load. The input current harmonics also meet the IEC61000-3-2 (class D) standard.

In generally, grid connected single-phase flyback inverter is operated as boundary or discontinuous conduction mode. However, the flyback inverter can be operated in continuous conduction mode (CCM) due to its operating conditions in spite of it is designed to operate under boundary or discontinuous conduction mode. This situation causes unintended distortion to output current. In this paper, a current shaping method on unfolding bridge to reduce the output current distortion.

Critical conduction mode boost power factor correction converters operating at the boundary of continuous conduction mode and discontinuous conduction mode have been widely used for power applications lower than 300W. This paper proposes an enhanced variable on-time control method for the critical conduction mode boost PFC converter to improve the total harmonic distortion characteristic. The inductor current, which varies according to the input voltage, is analyzed in detail and the optimal on-time is obtained to minimize the total harmonic distortion with a digital controller using a TMS320F28335. The switch on-time varies according to the input voltage based on the computed optimal on-time. The performance of the proposed control method is verified by a 100W PFC converter. It is shown that the optimized on-time reduces the total harmonic distortion about 52% (from 10.48% to 5.5%) at 220V when compared to the variable on-time control method.

New discrete time domain models for the peak current controlled (PCC) power LED drivers in continuous conduction mode include for the first time the effects of the time delay in the pulse-width-modulator. Realistic amounts of time delay are found to have significant effects on the average output LED current and on the critical inductor value at the boundary between the two conduction modes. Especially, the time delay can provide an accurate LED current for the PCC buck converter with a wide input voltage. The models can also predict the critical inductor value at the mode boundary as functions of the input voltage and the time delay. The overshoot of the peak inductor current due to the time delay results in the increase of the average output current and the reduction of the critical inductor value at the mode boundary in all converters. Experimental results are presented for the PCC buck LED driver with constant-frequency controller.

본 논문에서는 더 높은 에너지 효율을 요구하는 전자 기기들의 사용에 따른 고전력 밀도 AC/DC 어댑터의 구조를 제안한다. PFC (Power Factor Corrector) topology는 BCM (Boundary Conduction Mode)제어 방식을 적용한 Boost topology를 기본으로 하였으며, DC/DC topology는 주파수제어를 적용한 LLC 공진 컨버터를기본으로 하였다. 이는 반도체 소자 및 마그네틱 소자의 크기를 줄이는데 용이하다. 85W급 AC/DC adapter (18.5V/4.6A)를 설계하여 실험한 결과 $90V_{rms}$의 입력전압에서 90%의 효율과 $36W/in^3$의 전력밀도가 측정되었고 무부하시 전력 손실은 0.5W를 달성하였다.
