Modeling PWM DC/DC converters out of basic converter units

Abstract

[[abstract]]An alternative approach to modeling pulsewidth-modulated (PWM) dc/dc converters out of basic converter units (BCU's) is presented in this paper. Typical PWM dc/dc converters include the well-known buck, boost, buck-boost, Cuk, Zeta, and Sepic. With proper reconfiguration, these converters can be represented in terms of either buck or boost converter and linear devices, thus, the buck and boost converters are named BCU's, The PWM converters are, consequently, categorized into buck and boost families. With this categorization, the small-signal models of these converters are readily derived in terms of h parameter (for buck family) and g parameter (for boost family). Using the proposed approach, not only can one find a general configuration for converters in a family, but one can yield the same small-signal models as those derived from the direct state-space averaging method. Additionally, modeling of quasi-resonant converters and multiresonant converters can be simplified when adopting the proposed approach.[[fileno]]2030197010090[[department]]電機工程學
