This book was released on 2017 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Wireless power transfer (WPT) technology is becoming attractive in a wide variety of applications such as electric-vehicle charging, induction heating, charging portable applications, industrial robots, and biomedical implants. Recent studies have shown various techniques to implement wireless power transfer and these techniques differ based on the type of applications. For example, for electric vehicle charging, the power levels are in the range 5 kW to 25 kW and the operating frequency is in the range 70 kHz to 110 kHz. On the other hand, for consumer applications, the power levels vary from a few watts to hundreds of watts and operates at frequencies of the order of 5 MHz to 10 MHz. This thesis addresses the analysis, design, implementation, and simulation of a wireless charging system targeted towards a high-frequency, low-power portable application with wide separation between transmitter and receiver.The WPT system is composed of three important blocks: inverter (or transmitter), transformer (or coil), and rectifier (or receiver). Hard-switching inverters and rectifiers have major drawbacks at high frequencies due to large switching power loss. Therefore, soft-switching Class-E topology is chosen. The Class-E dc-ac inverter with CLL resonant tank, also referred to as pi2a impedance matching network is analyzed, designed, and simulated to observe its superior performance over other topologies at varying coupling coefficients and loads. Four soft-switching rectifier topologies are analyzed, designed, and simulated to evaluate their behavior at high frequencies. Their compatibility with Class-E inverters in the presence of loosely-coupled transformers is discussed. The physical and commercial limitations of using transformers with magnetic core is presented. Therefore, the preferred solution, an air-core transformer is designed and integrated with the rectifier to evaluate their characteristics at selected coupling coefficient. The overall system including the inverter, loosely-coupled air-core transformer, and rectifier was designed for the following specifications: operating frequency 6.78 MHz, output power across a single-load 40 W, output voltage 25 V, and target coupling coefficient of 0.5. Simulation results have been provided to validate the theoretical predictions. The major challenges faced during the integration of these building blocks are addressed. Finally, conclusions, contributions, and scope for future work are provided.

DC–DC converter topologies are developed in consideration of higher efficiency, reliable control switching strategies, and fault-tolerant configurations. Several types of switching converter topologies are involved in isolated DC–DC converter and nonisolated DC–DC converter solutions operating in hard-switching and soft-switching conditions. Switching converters have applications in a broad range of areas in both low and high power densities. The articles presented in the Special Issue titled "Advanced DC-DC Power Converters and Switching Converters" consolidate the work on the investigation of the switching converter topology considering the technological advances offered by innovative wide-bandgap devices and performance optimization methods in control strategies used.
Download or read book Advanced High Frequency Soft switching Converters for Automotive Applications written by Chenhao Nan and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 128 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Presently, hard-switching buck/boost converters are dominantly used for automotive applications. Automotive applications have stringent system requirements for dc-dc converters, such as wide input voltage range and limited EMI noise emission. High switching frequency of the dc-dc converters is much desired in automotive applications for avoiding AM band interference and for compact size. However, hard switching buck converter is not suitable at high frequency operation because of its low efficiency. In addition, buck converter has high EMI noise due to its hard-switching. Therefore, soft-switching topologies are considered in this thesis work to improve the performance of the dc-dc converters. Many soft-switching topologies are reviewed but none of them is well suited for the given automotive applications. Two soft-switching PWM converters are proposed in this work. For low power automotive POL applications, a new active-clamp buck converter is proposed. Comprehensive analysis of this converter is presented. A 2.2 MHz, 25 W active-clamp buck converter prototype with Si MOSFETs was designed and built. The experimental results verify the operation of the converter. For 12 V to 5 V conversion, the Si based prototype achieves a peak efficiency of 89.7%. To further improve the efficiency, GaN FETs are used and an optimized SR turn-off delay is employed. Then, a peak efficiency of 93.22% is achieved. The EMI test result shows significantly improved EMI performance of the proposed active-clamp buck converter. Last, large- and small-signal models of the proposed converter are derived and verified by simulation. For automotive dual voltage system, a new bidirectional zero-voltage-transition (ZVT) converter with coupled-inductor is proposed in this work. With the coupled-inductor, the current to realize zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) of main switches is much reduced and the core loss is minimized. Detailed analysis and design considerations for the proposed converter are presented. A 1 MHz, 250 W prototype is designed and constructed. The experimental results verify the operation. Peak efficiencies of 93.98% and 92.99% are achieved in buck mode and boost mode, respectively. Significant efficiency improvement is achieved from the efficiency comparison between the hard-switching buck converter and the proposed ZVT converter with coupled-inductor.

This book was released on 2015-04-30 with total page 257 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Introduces chaos theory, its analytical methods and the means to apply chaos to the switching power supply design DC-DC converters are typical switching systems which have plenty of nonlinear behaviors, such as bifurcation and chaos. The nonlinear behaviors of DC-DC converters have been studied heavily over the past 20 years, yet researchers are still unsure of the practical application of bifurcations and chaos in switching converters. The electromagnetic interference (EMI), which resulted from the high rates of changes of voltage and current, has become a major design criterion in DC-DC converters due to wide applications of various electronic devices in industry and daily life, and the question of how to reduce the annoying, harmful EMI has attracted much research interest. This book focuses on the analysis and application of chaos to reduce harmful EMI of DC-DC converters. After a review of the fundamentals of chaos behaviors of DC-DC converters, the authors present some recent findings such as Symbolic Entropy, Complexity and Chaos Point Process, to analyze the characters of chaotic DC-DC converters. Using these methods, the statistic characters of chaotic DC-DC converters are extracted and the foundations for the following researches of chaotic EMI suppression are reinforced. The focus then transfers to estimating the power spectral density of chaotic PWM converters behind an introduction of basic principles of spectrum analysis and chaotic PWM technique. Invariant Density, and Prony and Wavelet analysis methods are suggested for estimating the power spectral density of chaotic PWM converters. Finally, some design-oriented applications provide a good example of applying chaos theory in engineering practice, and illustrate the effectiveness on suppressing EMI of the proposed chaotic PWM.

Download or read book Design Considerations for Radio Frequency Power Converters written by Lei Gu (Researcher in power electronics) and published by . This book was released on 2019 with total page pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Compact and efficient high-frequency power converters and amplifiers are needed in a variety of applications, including base stations, mobile devices, and medical equipment. The ever-growing need for a smaller size, longer battery life, and lower cost introduces challenging design considerations for radio-frequency power converters. Today, these radio-frequency resonant converters use harmonic tuning to shape the voltage or current waveform of the switching device, with the primary goals of reducing device stress and increasing achievable efficiency. Although harmonic-tuned resonant converters can be very compact and efficient for a certain condition, significant challenges remain to widespread adoption, including limited high-efficiency range, complicated design procedures, and higher device stress compared with conventional approaches. This thesis presents circuit techniques that can extend the voltage, frequency, and efficiency ranges of radio-frequency power converters and provides more straightforward analysis and easy-to-implement design procedures. This thesis first presents a multi-resonant gate driver circuit developed using the harmonic wave-shaping technique that significantly reduces the high-frequency gate driving losses for Si and SiC MOSFETs. By controlling different harmonic components of an ideal square wave, we can resonantly shape a quasi-square voltage waveform at the gate. This gate driver is simple to control and has a low component count. Compared with a sine wave gate signal, this method reduces the transition time between the MOSFET is fully enhanced and turned-off, driving down the switching losses. Compared with similar multi-resonant drivers that are self-oscillating, this driver reduces the long start-up time required to reach steady-state. Intuitive design methodologies based on the frequency-domain plot are introduced. Using this technique, we are able to resonantly drive a Si MOSFET at 20 MHz and recycle 60% of the hard-switching gate-driving loss. We also demonstrate this driver on a SiC MOSFET switching at 30 MHz and save 80% of the hard-switching loss. Modern applications demand power converters to maintain a constant voltage output with high efficiency across significant load variation. This thesis presents a bidirectional dc-dc converter that enables efficient fixed-ratio voltage conversion at tens of megahertz. By selecting a proper matching network for the intermediate gain stage, we address multiple challenges simultaneously; a) replacing a lossy passive diode with a more efficient active transistor, b) maintaining efficient soft-switching operation, and c) a constant voltage conversion ratio over a wide load range. A 64 MHz, 12 W, 36 V-to-12 V prototype converter with 75% peak efficiency verifies the operation of the structure. An interleaved configuration is then proposed to improve the efficiency and transient performance of a single-phase structure. A 13.56 MHz, 210 V-to-30 V prototype converter with 90% peak efficiency at 200 W demonstrates the advantages of this proposed structure. RF power amplifiers underpin many systems that support our modern infrastructure. The Class EF and E/F family of harmonic-tuned switch-mode amplifiers have simple gate drives, reduced voltage stress, and higher output power capabilities than a conventional Class E circuit. To best utilize the performance potential of this family of circuits, this thesis presents a novel push-pull Phi2 (EF2) amplifier using interleaving and series-stacking techniques, denoted as a PPT Phi2 circuit. This series-stacked PPT Phi2 circuit combines all of the main advantages of different topologies, like the simplicity of gate driving, highest cut-off frequency, lowest voltage stress, and load-invariant operation. A compact 6.78 MHz, 100 V, 300 W prototype converter is demonstrated. Using lowcost Si devices, the prototype converter achieves 96% peak total efficiency and maintains above 94.5% drain efficiency across a wide range of voltage and power. This new series-stacked PPT F2 RF amplifier doubles the maximum operating frequency and voltage range of a Class EF or E/F amplifier with benefits in many modern applications that require high-frequency high-power RF signals, like wireless charging for electric vehicles, plasma RF drives, and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy.

Download or read book Dynamic Analysis of Switching Mode DC DC Converters written by Andre Kislovski and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 409 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The most critical part of the modern switching-mode power supply is the regulated dc/dc converter. Its dynamic behavior directly determines or influences four of the important characteristics of the power supply: • Stability of the feedback loop • Rejection of input-voltage ripple and the closely-related transient re sponse to input-voltage perturbation • Output impedance and the closely-related transient response to load perturbation • Compatibility with the input EMI filter Due to the complexity of the operation of the converter, predicting its dynamic behavior has not been easy. Without accurate prediction, and depending only on building the circuit and tinkering with it until the operation is satisfactory, the engineering cost can easily escalate and schedules can be missed. The situation is not much better when the circuit is built in the computer, using a general-purpose circuit-simulation program such as SPICE. (At the end of this book is a form for obtaining information on a computer program especially well suited for dynamic analysis of switching-mode power converters: DYANA, an acronym for "DYnamic ANAlysis. " DYANA is based on the method given in this book. ) The main goal of this book is to help the power-supply designer in the prediction of the dynamic behavior by providing user-friendly analytical tools, concrete results of already-made analyses, tabulated for easy application by the reader, and examples of how to apply the tools provided in the book.

This book was released on 2020-07-03 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gives a detailed analysis of switched-capacitor DC-DC converters that are entirely integrated on a single chip and establishes that these converters are mainly limited by the large parasitic coupling, the low capacitor energy density, and the fact that switched-capacitor converter topologies only have a fixed voltage conversion ratio. The authors introduce the concept of Advanced Multiphasing as a way to circumvent these limitations by having multiple out-of-phase parallel converter cores interact with each other to minimize capacitor charging losses, leading to several techniques that demonstrate record efficiency and power-density, and even a fundamentally new type of switched-capacitor topology that has a continuously-scalable conversion ratio. Provides single-source reference to the recently-developed Advanced Multiphasing concept; Enables greatly improved performance and capabilities in fully integrated switched-capacitor converters; Enables readers to design DC-DC converters, where multiple converter cores are put in parallel and actively interact with each other over several phases to improve their capabilities.
