The main two drawbacks of the Sin91e Stage PFC (SS-PFC) converters employing a DCM Boost PFC cell are relatively high voltage stress on the bulk capacitor and the input current harmonic distortion. The high voltage stress on bulk capacitor makes the SS-PFC converter impractical in a universal input application and the input current harmonic distortion lowers power factor. In this paper a selective variable frequency control that reduces the voltage stress on the bulk capacitor and the input current harmonic distortion is proposed. Computer simulation results of the proposed control method are presented.

This paper proposes a unified high-frequency bipolar buck-boost (UHFBB) control strategy for a dual-active-bridge (DAB), which is derived from the classical buck and boost DC/DC converter. It can achieve optimized current stress of the switches and soft switching in wider range. The UHFBB control strategy includes multi-control-variables, which can be achieved according to an algorithm derived from an accurate mathematical model. The design method for the parameters, such as the transformer turns ratio and the inductance, are shown. The current stress of the switches is analyzed for selecting an optimal inductor. The analysis is verified by the experimental results within a 500W prototype.

A low cost PDP sustain power supply is proposed based on flyback topology using Boundary Conduction Mode(BCM) to control input current regulation. This method guarantees DCM condition to regulate the input current harmonics under all load conditions. An excessive voltage stress due to the link voltage increase can be suppressed by removing link capacitor and adjusting transformer turns ratios, which makes it possible to be used for universal line applications. The proposed converter is tested with a 400W(200V-2A output) prototype circuit.

In this study, discrete-time domain analysis is proposed to investigate the input current of a buck AC/DC light-emitting diode (LED) driver. The buck power factor correction converter can operate in both discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) and continuous conduction mode (CCM). Two discontinuous and two continuous conduction operating modes are possible depending on which event terminates the conduction of the main switch in a switching cycle. All four operating modes are considered in the discrete-time domain analysis. The peak current-mode control with slope compensation is used to design a low-cost AC/DC LED driver. A slope compensation design of the buck AC/DC LED driver is described on the basis of a discrete-time domain analysis. Experimental results are presented to confirm the usefulness of the proposed analysis.

이 논문에서는 단상 디지털 역률 제어 보상 기법(PFC)을 제안한다. 제안된 방법은 인덕터 전류의 첨두값을 예측하고 기울기 보상 방법을 적용하여 제어기 출력을 생성함으로써 인덕터 전류의 첨두값을 제한하고, 스위칭 한 주기 안에 연속 도통 모드(CCM)과 불연속 도통 모드(DCM) 전류 제어를 완료한다. 따라서 기존 디지털 평균 전류 제어기에서 문제시 되었던 DCM-CCM 변환구간 즉 경계 도통 모드(BCM)에서 입력 전류 왜곡을 저감하였다. 제안된 제어기법의 유효성은 입력 전압 230Vac, 출력 전압 400V, 출력 750W급의 시제품 실험을 통해 검증하였다.

본 논문에서는 새로운 무손실 스너버 회로를 설계하여 적용한 PWM-PFC 스텝-업 컨버터에 대해 제안한다. 제안된 컨버터는 전류불연속 제어모드에 의해 제어회로 구성이 간단하고 회로 구성소자의 용량을 줄일 수 있다. 또한 입력전류는 스위치의 듀티율 일정제어에 의한 교류 입력전압의 크기에 비례한 불연속적인 펄스열의 정현파상으로 된다. 그 결과 입력역률은 거의 단위역률로 주어지고 듀티율 일정제어에 의해서 제안된 컨버터는 제어기법이 간단하게 된다. 일반적으로 입력전류 불연속제어에 의한 컨버터의 경우, 사용된 스위치의 턴-온 동작은 영전류 스위칭으로 되는 장점이 있지만, 스위치의 턴-오프 동작은 최대 전류에서 스위칭되어 스위칭 손실을 증대시키고 스위치의 과중한 스트레스를 가져오게 된다. 이것은 컨버터의 효율을 저하 시키는 요인이다. 본 논문에서는 부분공진 회로로 동작되는 새로운 무손실 스너버 회로를 설계하여 스위치들의 턴-온, 턴-오프 동작을 소프트 스위칭으로 만들어 컨버터의 효율을 더욱 증대시킨다 제안된 PWM-PFC 스텝-업 컨버터는 컴퓨터 시뮬레이션과 실험을 통하여 그 타당성이 입증된다.

본 논문에서는 저가의 MEMS 관성 센서와 지자기 센서를 이용하여 자세 정보를 제공받는 자세측정장치(ARHS)를 구현하였다. 저가형 IMU센서와 MCU를 이용하여 운동 자세각을 계산하는 DCM 알고리즘을 설계하고, 3축짐벌에 장착하여 연산결과의 정확도를 측정하였다. DCM 알고리즘을 이용 연산된 자세각의 정확도는 roll 및 pitch에 대하여 약 1.1%로 나타났으며, yaw각의 경우는 3.7%로 나타났다. Yaw 각의 경우에는 스텝핑 모터를 구동하는 실험환경에 따른 교란의 영향으로 그 오차가 상대적으로 크게 나타난 것으로 평가되었다. 짐벌 실험장치를 이용한 센서의 검증에서 더욱 정밀한 실험을 위해서는 주변 환경 요인에 대한 제어가 요구될 것으로 보이며, 실험장치의 스테핑 모터 구동 시 발생하는 진동 및 자기장의 영향과 실험 장치의 금속성 구조물의 영향으로 생각되는 센서 데이터의 오차 및 불안정 상태를 차단할 수 있는 장치의 보완이 필요할 것으로 보인다. 그리고 지자기 센서의 경우 좁은 범위의 측정에 추가하여 넓은 범위의 측정도 보완되어야 할 것으로 생각된다.

In the LED lighting industry, the dimming function in the LED lamp is required by demands of many consumers. To drive this LED lighting, various types of power converters have been applied. Among them, an LLC resonant converter could be applied for high power LED lighting because of its high efficiency and high power density, etc. The function of power factor correction (PFC) might be added to it. In this paper, a dimmable single-stage asymmetrical LLC resonant converter is proposed. The proposed converter performs both input-current harmonics reduction and PFC using the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). Also, the lower voltage stress across switching devices as well as the zero voltage switching (ZVS) in switching devices is realized by the proposed topology. It can reduce cost and has high efficiency of the driver. In addition, the regulation of the output power by variable switching frequency can vary the brightness of a light. In the proposed converter, one of the attractive advantages doesn’t need any extra control circuits for the dimming function. To verify the performance of the proposed converter, simulation and experimental results from a 300W prototype are provided.

Recently, the LED(Light Emitting Diode) is expected to replace conventional lamps including incandescent, halogen and fluorescent lamps for some general illumination application, due to some obvious features such as high luminous efficiency, safety, long life, environment-friendly characteristics and so on. To drive the LED, a single stage PFC(Power Factor Correction) flyback converter has been adopted to satisfy the isolation, PFC and low cost. The conventional flyback LED driver has the serious disadvantage of high 120Hz output current ripple caused by the PFC operation. To overcome this drawback, a new PFC flyback with low 120Hz output current ripple is proposed in this paper. It is composed of 2 power stages, the DCM(Discontinuous Conduction Mode) flyback converter for PFC and BCM(Boundary Conduction Mode) boost converter for tightly regulated LED current. Since the link capacitor is located in the secondary side, its voltage stress is small. Moreover, since the driver is composed of 2 power stages, small output filter and link capacitor can be used. Especially, since the flyback is operated at DCM, the PFC can be automatically obtained and thus, an additional PFC IC is not necessary. Therefore, only one control IC for BCM boost converter is required. To confirm the validity of the proposed converter, theoretical analysis and experimental results from a prototype of 24W LED driver are presented.

This paper is given a full detail of mathematical analyses of input current for novel active type power factor correction(PFC) AC-DC converter of step up-down added electric isolation. These are compared with harmonics components of input current for a conventional PFC converter of electric isolation type. The proposed PFC converter is constructed in using a new loss-less snubber circuit to achieve a soft switching of control device. Also the proposed converter for discontinuous conduction mode(DCM) eliminates the complicated circuit control requirement and reduces the size of components. The input current waveform in the proposed converter is got to be a sinusoidal form of discontinuous pulse in proportion to magnitude of ac input voltage under the constant duty cycle switching. Therefore, input power factor is nearly unity and the control method is simple. Particularly, the stored energy of loss-less snubber capacitor is recovered with input side and increases input current from resonant operation. The result is that input power factor of the proposed converter is higher than that of a conventional PFC converter. Some simulative results on computer and experimental results are included to confirm the validity of the analytical results.
