The output voltage of UPS must not vary according to the load variation But the output voltage varies due to the load variation when a PI voltage regulator is used which has inherently a static state error. This paper presents a static-error-free digital PID voltage regulator for an UPS inverter to overcome additionally the voltage unbalance problem in three Phase system as well as the above problem.

In this paper, an active replica Low-dropout(LDO) regulator with DC voltage matching circuit is presented. In order to match the voltage between replica and output of regulator, DC voltage matching circuit is designed. The active replica low dropout regulator has higher Power Supply Rejection(PSR) than that of conventional regulator. The designed DC voltage matching circuit can reduce the drawback that may be occurred in replica regulator. And using fully active element in regulator can reduce the chip area and heat noise with resistor. As results of HSPICE simulation with 0.35um CMOS parameter, the designed active replica LDO regulator achieves Power Supply Rejection, -28@10Hz better than -17@10Hz of conventional replica regulator without DC matching circuit. And the output voltage is 3V.

The gate current sensing structure was proposed to more effectively control the regulation of the output voltage when the LDO regulator occurs in an overshoot or undershoot situation. In a typical existing LDO regulator, the regulation voltage changes when the load current changes. However, the operation speed of the pass transistor can be further improved by supplying/discharging the gate terminal current in the pass transistor using a gate current sensing structure. The input voltage of the LDO regulator using the gate current sensing structure is 3.3 V to 4.5 V, the output voltage is 3 V, and the load current has a maximum value of 250 mA. As a result of the simulation, a voltage change value of about 12 mV was confirmed when the load current changed up to 250 mA.

The bidirectional boost-buck chopper type AC voltage regulator is presented in this paper. The main characteristic of the AC chopper is the fact that it generates an output AC voltage larger or lower than the input AC one, depending of the instantaneous duty-cycle. Boost-buck chopper type AC voltage regulator, derived from the DC chopper modulated method, is a kind of direct AC-AC voltage converter and has many advantages: such as fast response speed, low harmonics and high power factor. It adopts high switching frequency AC chopper technique and can do wide range step less AC voltage regulation.

Control voltage for baseband channel selection filter to select one of communication channels can be easily fluctuated according to external noise or variation of fabrication. In this paper, we design a voltage regulator with small chip area to keep control voltage constantly using current comparative method. Cut-off frequency of channel selection filter is automatically controlled by detecting current flow using the proposed voltage regulator.

In this paper, a new architecture for a cost-effective power conditioning systems (PCS) using a single-sourced asymmetric cascaded H-bridge multilevel inverter (MLI) for photovoltaic (PV) applications is proposed. The asymmetric MLI topology has a reduced number of parts compared to the symmetrical type for the same number of voltage level. However, the modulation index threshold related to the drop in the number of levels of the inverter output is higher than that of the symmetrical MLI. This problem results in a modulation index limitation which is relatively higher than that of the symmetrical MLI. Hence, an extra voltage pre-regulator becomes a necessary component in the PCS under a wide operating bias variation. In addition to pre-stage voltage regulation for the constant MLI dc-links, another auxiliary pre-regulator should provide isolation and voltage balance among the multiple H-bridge cells in the asymmetrical MLI as well as the symmetrical ones. The proposed PCS uses a single-ended DC-DC converter topology with a coupled inductor and charge-pump circuit to satisfy all of the aforementioned requirements. Since the proposed integrated-type voltage pre-regulator circuit uses only a single MOSFET switch and a single magnetic component, the size and cost of the PCS is an optimal trade-off. In addition, the voltage balance between the separate H-bridge cells is automatically maintained by the number of turns in the coupled inductor transformer regardless of the duty cycle, which eliminates the need for an extra voltage regulator for the auxiliary H-bridge in MLIs. The voltage balance is also maintained under the discontinuous conduction mode (DCM). Thus, the PCS is also operational during light load conditions. The proposed architecture can apply the module-integrated converter (MIC) concept to perform distributed MPPT. The proposed architecture is analyzed and verified for a 7-level asymmetric MLI, using simulation results and a hardware implementation.

With the development of industry and the improvement of living standards, better quality in power electric service is required more than ever before.

The feedback buffer structure is proposed to alleviate the overshoot and undershoot phenomenon and the regulation of the output voltage. The conventional LDO regulator undergoes a regulation voltage change caused by a constant load current change. An LDO regulator with a feedback voltage sensing structure operates in the input voltage range of 3.3 to 4.5 V and has a load current of up to 150 mA at output voltage of 3 V. According to the simulation results, a regulation value of 6.2 mV was ensured when the load current uniformly changed to 150 mA.

An improved half-bridge LLC converter with a magamp auxiliary post-regulator is proposed in this paper. The function of the magamp is bypassed when the converter works within the low input-voltage range. Meanwhile, it operates as an auxiliary post-regulator when the input voltage is high. By changing the blocking time of the magamp, the dc gain of the converter can be extended. Hence, the input voltage range of the converter is extended. The realization of proposed topology does not require a complicated circuit. The controller of the magamp can be easily implemented using only passive components, transistors and an OP amp. The generalized operational principle is analyzed and the design criterion for the magamp is presented. Finally, a 25V output, 400W experimental prototype was built and tested for a 160-300V input-voltage range to verify the feasibility of the proposed method.
