Open-loop transfer functions can be used to create closed-loop models of pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) converters. The closed-loop small-signal model can be used to design a controller for the switching converter with well-known linear control theory. The dynamics of the power stage for boost PWM dc-dc converter operating in continuous-conduction mode (CCM) are studied. The transfer functions from ou...Show More
A new transfer function from control voltage to duty cycle, the closed-current loop, which captures the natural sampling effect is used to design a controller for the voltage-loop of a pulsewidth modulated (PWM) dc-dc converter operating in continuous-conduction mode (CCM) with peak current-mode control (PCM). This paper derives the voltage loop gain and the closed-loop transfer function from refe...Show More
This paper derives the transfer function from error voltage to duty cycle, which captures the quasi-digital behavior of the closed-current loop for pulsewidth modulated (PWM) dc-dc converters operating in continuous-conduction mode (CCM) using peak current-mode (PCM) control, the current-loop gain, the transfer function from control voltage to duty cycle (closed-current loop transfer function), an...Show More
This paper presents the analysis of open-loop power-stage dynamics relevant to current-mode control for a boost pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) dc-dc converter operating in continuous-conduction mode (CCM). The transfer functions from input voltage to inductor current, from duty cycle to inductor current, and from output current to inductor current are derived. The delay from the MOSFET gate drive to t...Show More
The small-signal transfer function from duty cycle to inductor current is derived for the boost DC-DC converter operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM). The transfer function is found for two cases, the converter with a resistive load, and with a current sink load. The derivations are performed using an averaged circuit small-signal model of the boost converter for CCM. The transfer function...Show More
The sample and hold effect, or quasi-digital (discrete) behaviour, of constant-frequency peak current-mode control (PCM) is pulse-width modulated DC-DC converters is presented in a manner consistent with the physical behaviour of the circuit. This approach develops a transfer function using control theory that captures the quasi-digital behaviour encountered when the current control loop is closed...Show More
The derivation of the transformerless Cuk PWM DC-DC converter circuit is presented. Boost and buck PWM DC-DC converter circuits are cascaded through a unity-gain inverting stage. Circuit theory and manipulations I are used to simplify the cascaded circuit into the Cuk PWM DC-DC converter topology.Show More
The effect of a current-sensing resistor used in current-mode control of pulsewidth modulator (PWM) converters on required MOSFET aspect ratio, the ratio of channel width to channel length generally known as W/L, is studied. The results can also be applied to the effect of source parasitic resistance in a power MOSFET. These resistances require a significant increase in aspect ratio to achieve a d...Show More
The derivation of the buck-boost PWM DC-DC converter circuit is presented. The buck and boost converter circuits are cascaded through an inverting stage. Circuit theory and manipulation will be used to simplify the cascaded circuit into the familiar inverting buck-boost PWM DC-DC converter topology.Show More
This paper examines the impact of a current sensing resistor used in current-mode control of PWM converters on MOSFET aspect ratio. The results can also be applied to the impact of source parasitic resistance in a power MOSFET. These resistances introduce significant error in the required aspect ratio to achieve a desired maximum current capability. Experimental results are presented showing the v...Show More
