This paper presents the PCB heat dissipation characteristics of high density DC-DC converter for electric vehicles. This paper also analyzes the heat dissipation structure of the high density DC-DC converter and optimizes the PCB heat dissipation design of the high density power system through thermal analysis simulation. Based on heat transfer theory, the thermal path of general electronic devices is analyzed and the thermal resistance equivalent circuit is modeled in this paper. Additionally, the thermal resistance equivalent circuit of the 500W synchronous buck converter, which is addressed in this paper, is modeled to present a structural heat dissipation path for better thermal performance. The validity of the proposed scheme is verified through the thermal analysis simulation results and experiments applying multi-surface heat dissipation structure to a 500[W](12[V], 41.67[A]) synchronous buck converter prototype with an input voltage 72[V].

The aim of this work was to investigate the effects of electrodeposition conditions on the microstructural characteristics of copper thin films. The microstructure of electroplated Cu films was found to be highly dependent on electrodeposition conditions such as system current and current density, as well as the bath solution itself. The current density significantly changed the preferred orientation of electroplated Cu films in a DC system, while the solution itself had very significant effects on microstructural characteristics in a pulse-reverse pulse current system. In the DC system, polarization at high current above 30 mA, changed the preferred orientation of Cu films from (220) to (111). However, Cu films showed (220) preferred orientation for all ranges of current density in the pulse-reverse pulse current system. The grain size decreased with increasing current density in the DC system while it remained relatively constant in the pulse-reverse pulse current system. The sheet resistance increased with increasing current density in the DC system due to the decreased grain size.

This paper presents a design procedure of an integrated inductor with a magnetic core for power converters. This procedure considerably reduces design time and effort. The proposed design procedure is verified by the development of an inductor model dedicated to the monolithic integration of DC-DC converters for portable applications. The numerical simulation based on the FEM (finite elements method) shows that 3D modeling of the integrated inductor allows better estimation of the electrical parameters of the desired inductor. The optimization of the electrical parameter values is based on the numerical analysis of the influence of the geometric parameters on the electrical characteristics of the inductor. Using the VHDL-AMS language, implementation of the integrated inductor in a micro Buck converter demonstrate that simulation results present a very promising approach for the monolithic integration of DC-DC converters.

This paper presents a novel topological prototype of voltage source series quasi-resonant zero current soft-switching pulse frequency modulated dc-dc power converter circuit using IGBTs which incorporates a high-frequency flyback transformer link. Its steady-state operating principle is described on the basis of simulation analysis, along with the open loop controlled power regulation characteristics of the multi-functional coupled inductors linked dc-dc power converter operating under a principle of zero current soft switching commutation.

This paper presents a multi output converter system that controls, simultaneously and independently, the separate Buck converter and Boost converter with the different specification by one DSP digital controller. As two separate converters are regulated by only one DSP, it is possible to achieve the simple digital control circuit for regulating the multi output DC-DC converter. By setting the software switch state, PI or Fuzzy controller can be applied as a controller for each converter without any change of hardware. Also, PI and Fuzzy control characteristics of each DC-DC converter is validated by experimental results.

본 논문에서는 Forward DC/DC 컨버터 설계에 있어서 출력 커패시터에 따른 제어기 설계를 제안한다. 최근 DC/DC 컨버터의 소형화로 스위칭 주파수가 고주파로 됨에 따라 출력 커패시터는 전해 커패시터에서 Tantal 커패시터와 MLCC로 대체되는 추세이다. 이에 본 논문에서는 Tantal 커패시터와 MLCC의 특성을 분석하고 각각의 출력 커패시터 특성에 따른 안정적인 제어기를 설계하였으며, 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통해서 검증하였다. 본 논문에서는 50W급 Forward DC/DC 컨버터를 제작하여 스텝응답 테스트를 통해서 제시한 설계 기법이 타당함을 검증하였다.

Currently, many studies on green ships are under way. Fuel cell (FC) ships are of interest as future low-emission, fuel-efficient vessels. In this paper, a hybrid power management system for an FC ship was designed. The system consists of an FC, a battery, a unidirectional DC/DC converter, a bidirectional DC/DC converter, a filter, an inverter, and a propulsion component. To design the system, we analyze electric sources and converters, and create PLECS models of hybrid power management system. Then, we check the cold start sequence and perform a simulation to understand the characteristics of the hybrid power management system in an FC ship.

Piezoelectric transformer(PZT) can be used advantageously in high output voltage power supply. Recently, it also can be used in AC/DC Converter for miniaturizing size nd lightening weight. The modeling of PZT was performed by the calculation method through the physical and electrical constants of the material. The attributes of PZT were derived by an approximate analysis for output voltage gain, and resonant frequency. The proposed method is verified by computer simulation and experiment.
