11 Introducing another analysis method (II) Powerful tools to analyze DC/DC converters in steady-state Step 1- To obtain the main waveforms (with no quantity values) using Faraday’s law and Kirchhoff’s current and voltage laws Step 2- To take into account the average value of the voltage across inductors and of the current through capacitors in steady-state Step 2 (bis)- To use the volt·second balance Step 3- To apply Kirchhoff’s current and voltage laws in average values Step 4- Input-output power balance SEA_uniovi_CC1_10

12 Introducing another analysis method (III) Any electrical circuit that operates in steady-state satisfies:  The average voltage across an inductor is zero. Else, the net current through the inductor always increases and, therefore, steady-state is not achieved  The average current through a capacitor is zero.

29 Comparing basic DC/DC converters (II) Generalized study as DC transformer (II)  Buck: i g_avg = i O N = i O d  Boost: i g_avg = i O N = i O /(1-d)  Buck-Boost: i g_avg = i O N = - i O d/(1-d) DC Transformer vgvg iOiO i g_avg RLRL vOvO + - 1:N i g_avg = i O N = i O d/(1-d) SEA_uniovi_CC1_28

31 Comparing basic DC/DC converters (IV) Example of electrical stress on components (I) v S_max = v D_max = 100 V i S_avg = i D_avg = 1 A i L_avg = 2 A FOM VA_S = FOM VA_D = 100 VA RLRL S C L D V 100 V 2 A 1 A (avg) 100 W Buck, 100% efficiency + - C D L S RLRL V 100 V 2 A 1 A (avg) 100 W Buck-Boost, 100% efficiency v S_max = v D_max = 150 V i S_avg = 1 A i D_avg = 2 A i L_avg = 3 A FOM VA_S = 150 VA FOM VA_D = 300 VA  Higher electrical stress in the case of Buck- Boost converter  Therefore, lower actual efficiency SEA_uniovi_CC1_30

32 Comparing basic DC/DC converters (V) Example of electrical stress on components (II) v S_max = v D_max = 50 V i S_avg = i D_avg = 2 A i L_avg = 4 A FOM VA_S = FOM VA_D = 100 VA + - C L S D RLRL V 25 V 2 A 4 A (avg) 100 W Boost, 100% efficiency + - C D L S RLRL V 25 V 2 A 4 A (avg) 100 W Buck-Boost, 100% efficiency v S_max = v D_max = 75 V i S_avg = 4 A i D_avg = 2 A i L_avg = 6 A FOM VA_S = 300 VA FOM VA_D = 150 VA  Higher electrical stress in the case of Buck- Boost converter  Therefore, lower actual efficiency SEA_uniovi_CC1_31

33 Comparing basic DC/DC converters (VI)  Price to pay for simultaneous step-down and step-up capability: Higher electrical stress on components and, therefore, lower actual efficiency  Converters with limited either step-down or step-up capability: Lower electrical stress on components and, therefore, higher actual efficiency SEA_uniovi_CC1_32

34 Comparing basic DC/DC converters (VII) 300 W Boost, 98% efficiency + - C L S D RLRL V 50 V 5 A 6.12 A (avg) 1.12 A (avg) Example of power conversion between similar voltage levels based on a Boost converter Very high efficiency can be achieved!!! v S_max = v D_max = 60 V i S_avg = 1.12 A i D_avg = 5 A i L_avg = 6.12 A FOM VA_S = 67.2 VA FOM VA_D = 300 VA SEA_uniovi_CC1_33

36 Comparing basic DC/DC converters (IX) One disadvantage exhibited by the Boost converter: The input current has a “direct path” from the input voltage source to the load. No switch is placed in this path. As a consequence, two problems arise:  Large peak input current in start-up  No over current or short-circuit protection can be easily implemented (additional switch needed) Buck and Buck-Boost do not exhibit these problems + - C vgvg L S D RLRL vOvO + - Boost SEA_uniovi_CC1_35

37 Synchronous rectification (I)  To use controlled transistors (MOSFETs) instead of diodes to achieve high efficiency in low output-voltage applications  This is due to the fact that the voltage drop across the device can be lower if a transistor is used instead a diode  The conduction takes place from source terminal to drain terminal  In practice, the diode (Schottky) is not removed S L D S1S1 L S2S2 S1S1 L S2S2 i device v device Diode MOSFET SEA_uniovi_CC1_36

38 Synchronous rectification (II)  In converters without a transformer, the control circuitry must provide proper driving signals  In converters with a transformer, the driving signals can be obtained from the transformer (self-driving synchronous rectification)  Nowadays, very common technique with low output-voltage Buck converters S1S1 L S2S2 Feedback loop - V ref AvAv vOvO PWM Q Q’ RLRL vgvg vOvO C L Synchronous Buck S1S1 S2S2 D SEA_uniovi_CC1_37
