This paper presents an implementation of Pill controller for DC-DC converter using the microcontroller. The features of the microcontroller such as the on chip ADC and Pulse width Modulator (PWM) eliminate the external components needed to perform these functions. The duty rate cycle for the DC-DC converter can be updated every time when the (ADC) conversation and the calculation time are finished. The stable response can be obtained for any kind of DC-DC converters. The SMPS controller looks at the converter output, compares the output to a set point, performs a control algorithm (Pill algorithm) and finally applies the algorithm output to the PWM. PWM output is then used to drive the DC-DC converter. Figure (1) shows a simplified block diagram of a complete DC-DC converter system.

DC/DC switching power converters are commonly used to generate a regulated DC output voltage with high efficiency. The DC/DC converter is composed of a PWM-IC (pulse width modulation-integrated circuit) controller, a MOSFET (metal-oxide semiconductor field effect transistor), inductor, capacitor, etc. It is shown that the variation of threshold voltage and the offset voltage in the electrical characteristics of PWM-IC increase by radiation effects in TID (Total Ionizing Dose) testing at the low energy ${\gamma}$ rays using $^{60}Co$, and 4 heavy ions applied for SEL (Single Event Latch-up) make the PWM pulse unstable. Also, the output waveform for the given input in the DC/DC converter is observed by the simulation program with integrated circuit emphasis (SPICE). TID testing on PWM-IC is accomplished up to the total dose of 30 krad, and the cross section($cm^2$) versus LET($MeV/mg/cm^2$) in the PWM operation is studied at SEL testing after implementation of the controller board.

DC link electrolytic capacitors are widely used in various PWM power converter system, such as adjustable speed driver(ASD) or DC/DC converter. Electrolytic capacitors, which is the most of the time affected by aging effect, plays a very important role for the power electronics system quality and reliability. This objective of this paper is to propose a improvement method to detect the rise of equivalent series resistor(ESR) in order to realize the online failure prediction of electrolytic capacitor for DC link of PWM power converter. The ESR detection scheme is based on the determination of the electrolytic capacitor AC losses calculated from voltage/current measurement using AC coupling. Therefore, the preposed online failure prediction method has the merits of easy ESR computation and circuit simplicity compare with BPF method. Simulation results show the veridity of the proposed on-line ESR estimation method.

A new dc/ac soft switched PWM convert having a dc-link commutation circuit is proposed. The commutation circuit implemented by utilizing a series resonant circuit while preparing for zero voltage switching of primary inverter. The converter provides both variable pulse width and position which is fundamentally different than converters.

This paper presents boost and buck and buck-boost DC-DC converter circuit topologies of high-frequency soft switching transition PWM chopper type DC-DC high power converters with a single auxiliary passive resonant snubber. In the proposed boost power converter circuits operating under a principle of ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off commutation schemes, the capacitor and inductor in the auxiliary passive resonant circuit works as the loss less resonant snubber. In addition to this, the switching voltage and current peak stresses as well as EMI and RFI noises can be basically reduced by this single passive resonant snubber. Moreover, it is proved that converter circuit topologies with a passive resonant snubber are capable of solving some problems of the conventional hard switching PWM processing based on high-ferquency pulse modulation operation principle. The simulation results of this converter are discussed as compared with the experimental ones. The effectiveness of this power converter with a single passive resonant snubber is verified by the 5kW experimental breadboad set up.

New output voltage control technique based on the simple feedback linearization is proposed. The system states are first divided into fast states and slow states. Then, the control stage is composed of the fast inner current control loop and the slow outer voltage control loop. From the inner loop, the average control is derived by the sliding mode concept and it is inserted into the dynamic equations of the slow states in the outer loop. Applying the feedback linearization technique to the obtained large-signal models of the PWM dc-dc converters, linearized large-signal models are obtained for the slow states. With this technique, the output voltage controller of the PWM dc-dc converters can be designed easily in the global state space and its control performance can also be much improved.

This paper presents two new circuit topologies of DC bus lineside active edge resonant snubber assisted soft-switching PWM full-bridge DC-DC converter acceptable for either utility AC 200V-rms or AC 400V-rms input voltage source. One topology of proposed DC-DC converters is composed of a typical voltage source-fed full-bridge high frequency PWM inverter using DC busline side series power semiconductor switching devices with the aid of a parallel capacitive lossless snubber. All the active power switches in the full-bridge arms and DC busline can achieve ZCS turn-on and ZVS turn-off commutations and the total turn-off switching power losses of all active switches can be reduced for high-frequency switching action. It is proved that the more the switching frequency of full-bridge soft switching inverter increases, the more soft-switching PWM DC-DC converter with a hish frequency transformer link has remarkable advantages for its efficiency and power density as compared with the conventional hard-switching PWM inverter type DC-DC converter

A new soft switched active snubber circuit is proposed to achieve zero voltage and zero current switching for all the switching devices in PWM DC-DC converters. The unique location of the snubber capacitor and inductor ensures low current/voltage stresses and commutation losses. With a saturable reactor, the conduction loss of the auxiliary switch could be further minimized. A boost converter adopting this technique is presented as an example, to illuminate its operation principles and derive the design procedures. Simulation and hardware implementation have been made to validate its performance. Some other basic PWM DC-DC topologies using the proposed snubber have also been given.

In this paper, a novel compensation scheme for ac-dc pwm converters under switching device fault status has been proposed, along with an effective diagnosis method. With the proposed scheme, the pwm converter can be properly operated even when one of the switching devices of the converter is out of control, so that it may ensure the performance and reliability of pwm converters to be increased. The developed scheme is explained in theoretically and the validity is verified by the informative simulation and experimental results in detail.
