The practical design methodology of a three-phase dual active bridge (3ph-DAB) converter applied to low voltage direct current (LVDC) applications is proposed by using a mathematical model based on the steady-state operation. An analysis of the small-signal model (SSM) is important for the design of a proper controller to improve the stability and dynamics of the converter. The proposed lead-lag controller for the 3ph-DAB converter is designed with a simplified SSM analysis including an equivalent series resistor (ESR) for the output capacitor. The proposed controller can compensate the effects of the ESR zero of the output capacitor in the control-to-output voltage transfer function that can cause high-frequency noises. In addition, the performance of the power converter can be improved by using a controller designed by a SSM analysis without additional cost. The accuracy of the simplified SSM including the ESR zero of the output capacitor is verified by simulation software (PSIM). The design methodology of the 3ph-DAB converter and the performance of the proposed controller are verified by experimental results obtained with a 5-kW prototype 3ph-DAB converter.

본 논문에서는 정격부하에서 효율이 가장 높으면서 동시에 Zero Voltage Switching(ZVS)를 만족하는 인덕터를 설계하는 방법을 제안한다. 제안하는 인덕터 설계 방법은 주어진 정격에서 스위치에 존재하는 스너버 캐패시터를 고려한 ZVS 식을 구하며, 스위치의 특성을 고려한 Dead-time을 설계하고 이를 통해 인덕턴스를 최소화 한다. 시뮬레이션을 통해 스너버 캐패시터의 전압 파형 및 스위치의 손실을 비교하였다.

This paper presents a high speed synchronous single inductor dual output boost converter using Type-III compensation for power management in smart devices. Maintaining multiple outputs from a single inductor is becoming very important because of inductor the sizes. The uses of high switching frequency, inductor and capacitor sizes are reduced. Owing to synchronous rectification this kind of converter is suitable for SoC. The phase is controlled in time sharing manner for each output. The controller used here is Type-III, which ensures quick settling time and high stability. The outputs are stable within $58{\mu}s$. The simulation results show that the proposed scheme achieves a better overall performance. The input voltage is 1.8V, switching frequency is 5MHz, and the inductor used is 600nH. The output voltages and powers are 2.6V& 3.3V and 147mW &, 230mW respectively.

In this paper, a DC-DC converter is designed for logic process MTP (multi-time programmable) memory IPs using dual program voltage, which are used for analog trimming or storing chip IDs in sensor applications. The DC-DC converter supplies VPP (=5.25V), VNN (=-5.25V), and VNNL ($=2{\cdot}VNN/5$). It uses MOS capacitors and designed with only 3,3V devices. VPP and VNN are configured in two and five stages, respectively. And their pumping currents are $9.17{\mu}A$ and $9.7{\mu}A$, respectively.

This study analyzes the effects of the parasitic capacitance of the SiC MOSFET used in the Dual Active Bridge ( DAB) converter and proposes a method for calculating the leakage inductance of the transformer. The DAB converter employs high-frequency switching to achieve high efficiency, high power density, and reliability. MOSFETs possess parasitic capacitance, which induces resonance with the leakage inductance of the transformer during switching operations, resulting in a voltage change delay. This paper discusses the effect of the delay of voltage changes on the DAB converter output and proposes a method to calculate the delay time. This method aims to equalize the delay time to minimize this effect and enhance the accuracy of the leakage inductance calculation of the transformer. The proposed method is validated through experiments and simulations.

This paper proposed an unified dual-phase-shift (UDPS) control for dual active bridge (DAB) converters in order to improve efficiency for a wide output power range. Different operating modes of UDPS are characterized with respect to the reactive current distribution. The proposed UDPS has the same output power capability with conventional phase-shift (CPS) method. Furthermore, its implementation is simple since only the change of the leading phase-shift direction is required for different operating power range. The proposed UDPS control can minimize both the inductor rms current and the circulating reactive current for various voltage conversion ratios and load conditions. The optimal phase-shift pairs for two bridges of DAB converter are derived with respect to the comprehensive reactive power loss model, including the reactive components delivered from the load and back to the source. Simulation and experimental results are illustrated and explained with details. The effectiveness of the proposed method is verified in terms of reactive power losses minimization and efficiency improvement.

In conventional SIDO(Single Inductor Dual Output) boost converter, charging time is changed by load power consumption. In this case, if the power consumption of one load is changed to such a degree that switching frequency of the boost converter must be changed, another load charge time is also changed, which this causes cross regulation. In this paper, the charge copy technique is proposed to reduce cross regulation. When the switching frequency is changed to an integer ratio, another load charge time is also changed to integer ratio. Simulation result shows that proposed method reduces the 10.24mV cross regulation and 39.118us recover-time compared with conventional method.

A variety of high voltage DC power supplies employing the high frequency inverter are difficult to achieve soft switching considering a quick response and no overshoot response under the wide load variation ranges which are used in medical-use x-ray high voltage generator from 20kV to 150kV in the output voltage and from 0.5mA to 1250mA, respectively. The authors develops soft switching high voltage DC power supply designed for x-ray power generator applications, which uses series resonant inverter circuit topology with a multistage voltage multiplier instead of a conventional high voltage diode rectifier connected to the second-side of a high-voltage transformer with a large turn ratio. A constant on-time dual mode frequency control scheme operating under a principle of zero-current soft switching commutation is described. Introducing the multistage voltage multiplier, the secondary transformer turn-numbers and stray capacitance of high-voltage transformer is effective to be greatly reduced. It is proved that the proposed high-voltage converter topology with dual mode frequency modulation mode control scheme is able to be the transient response and steady-state performance in high-voltage x-ray tube load. The effectiveness of this high voltage converter is evaluated and discussed on the basis of simulation analysis and observed data in experiment.
