The interleaving method is usually used to reduce the ripple of output current of filter inductor in parallel operation of PWM DC/DC converter. Although the current ripple of filter inductor decreases, each current ripple of filter inductor is not decreased. In this study, the operation of interleaved buck converter with coupled inductor is analyzed in each operation mode. It is verified through experiment. The possibility of application to grid connected inverter with parallel operation is identified.

This study presents a novel transformer isolated parallel connected quasi Z-source (qZ-source) full-bridge DC-DC converter that uses a coupled inductor in both the qZ-source network and output filter inductor. Unlike traditional voltage-fed or current-fed converters, the proposed converter can be open- and short-circuited without damaging switching devices. Therefore, the desired buck and boost functions can be achieved and converter reliability can be significantly improved. All the bulky inductors in the qZ-source network and output filter can also be minimized with the proposed inductor structures. A 4 kW prototype DC-DC converter is built and tested to verify the performance of the proposed converter.

This paper presents a single-switch buck converter with a ripple-free inductor current. In the proposed converter, the filter inductor current ripple is completely removed by utilizing an auxiliary circuit consisting of an additional winding of the filter inductor, an auxiliary inductor, and an auxiliary capacitor. Moreover, the ripple-free current characteristic is maintained under both light load and full load conditions. The theoretical analysis and performance of the proposed converter were verified with a 110W experimental prototype operating at a 107 kHz switching frequency.

A complementary VHF CMOS active inductor is described. The proposed circuit employs 'p-type' and 'n-type' active inductor to obtain enlarged signal handling ability. Under the same inductance, Q value, and power consumption, the proposed circuit shows more than 12-㏈ improvement in dynamic range while maintaining high-frequency operation. Further enhancement is obtained by using a fully differential floating inductor structure. A 1-㎓ 4$\^$th/-order coupled-resonator filter is designed to demonstrate the potential of the proposed active inductor.

In this paper, we derive a transfer function of cross-coupled microwave filter systems by using a characteristics of chain matrices. Depending on the lumped element of capacitor or inductor, the cross-coupled system is negatively- or positively system. We used a ladder network as a starting system composed of several subsystems connected in chain. Each subsystem is descrived by Laplace impedance. By solving the transmission zero characteristic equation derived from the cascaded subsystems, we can find the zeros of filter system with externally cross-coupled lumped elements. With the cross-coupled elements of capacitors, the numerator polynomial of system transfer function is used to locate the quadruplet zeros in complex plane. We show the polynomoials of numerator and denominator of cascaded transfer function, obtaining the zeros of the cross-coupled system.

In this paper, an LLC resonant converter employing two coupled inductors on the secondary side of the converter is proposed. The conventional LLC converter exhibits serious power loss during secondary winding of the transformer because of generation of tremendous output current ripples. To overcome this problem, an LLC resonant converter with a current doubler as a rectifying circuit was recently proposed. However, the current-doubler rectifying circuit requires coupled inductors with a high coupling ratio to retain the designed resonance characteristics. Therefore, an additional hardware filter is required at the output stage to address large output current ripples. Additional design procedures are also necessary because the inductance component of the added filter affects the designed resonant network. To solve this issue, an LLC resonant converter employing two coupled inductors is proposed in this paper. Mathematical analysis shows that the proposed secondary-side current-doubler circuit does not affect the designed resonance characteristics. The operating principles and theoretical analyses are proven through a simulation and experiments with a 54 V/28 A prototype.

A dual-input boost-buck converter with coupled inductors (DIBBC-CI) is proposed as a thermoelectric generator (TEG) power conditioner with a wide input voltage range. The DIBBC-CI is built by cascading two boost cells and a buck cell with shared inverse coupled filter inductors. Low current ripple on both sides of the TEG and the battery are achieved. Reduced size and power losses of the filter inductors are benefited from the DC magnetic flux cancellation in the inductor core, leading to high efficiency and high power density. The operational principle, impact of coupled inductors, and design considerations for the proposed converter are analyzed in detail. Distributed maximum power point tracking, battery charging, and output control are implemented using a competitive logic to ensure seamless switching among operational modes. Both the simulation and experimental results verify the feasibility of the proposed topology and control.

최근에, 전원 공급 장치에 있어서 파워의 품질에 대한 요구가 높아지고 있다. IEC 61000-3-2 규격은 조명을 위한 AC/DC 전원 공급 장치에 대하여 역률(PF)과 전체 파형 왜곡률(THD)에 대한 규격을 만족하도록 요구하고 있다. 또 출력단의 전류 변화에 의해 발광체 광량이 바뀜에 따라 발생되는 플리커 현상에 대해 유럽권 선진국가는 ripple rate의 기준을 15~30%로 설정해 규제하고 있다. 따라서 국내에서도 기준을 마련하고 규제를 추진 중에 있다. 그래서 본 논문은 PFC 규격을 만족하고, 회로 1차, 2차 간 절연 기능을 가지기 위해 Flyback 컨버터를 적용하며, LED 전류의 저주파 리플을 저감하기 위해 Flyback, Coupled Inductor, LC 병렬 공진 필터, LLC 공진 필터, Cuk을 이용한 각각의 LED 구동회로를 PSIM을 통해 시뮬레이션 함으로써 각각의 방식들을 비교하였으며, 출력측 리플 저감을 위해 1차측에 Coupled Inductor와 2차측에 LC 공진을 적용한 Coupled LC 공진 회로를 제안하였으며, Coupled LC 공진 방식은 출력 커패시터가 78uF으로 작으며, 출력 리플은 전압 2.38V, 전류 0.05A로 기존의 방식보다 22%의 출력 리플 저감을 확인 하였다.

This paper proposes a new ballast that is ignited by internal LC resonance of buck converter. In order to cancel the steady state current ripple, the proposed ballast utilizes the coupled inductor filter which minimizes the size and weight of the ballast. The operation mode of the proposed ballast is analyzed and the performance of the new ballast is verified by the experimental results from a HOW prototype ballast for metal halide discharge (MHD) lamp.

In this paper, a multiple-output converter using a coupledinductor is proposed. The Asymmetrical Half-Bridge Converter (AHBC), which is used as a master converter, obtains ZVS in the primary side switches. For the tight output voltage regulation of the slave output, the Secondary Side Post Regulator (SSPR) is adopted. The proposed magnetically coupled output filter inductor reduces the number of semi-conductor devices and magnetic components. Also, the circuit enables ZCS off switching in the SSPR MOSFET and rectifying diodes. The modes of operation which are caused by the coupled-inductor and post regulator are explained. The analyzed modes of operation of the proposed multiple-output converter are verified by the simulation and experimental results.
