The involvement of parasitic components in circuit resonance, along with the addition of a resonant network, enables soft-switching for the power switches to reduce the switch voltage stress due to high frequency switching operation. The proposed circuit is designed to operate at switching frequency of 1 MHz. The detailed analysis of circuit operation is provided. At last, the feasibility and performance of the proposed battery equalizer are demonstrated through the system implementation and experimental tests of a prototype circuit. Experimental results have shown zero voltage switching (ZVS) is achieved on the switches.展开更多

A novel low-cost dual ripple compensation, which consists of coupling capacitor compensation and passive equivalent series resistance compensation, is proposed to achieve a fast load transient response and robust stability simultaneously. Implemented in a 2P4M 0.35 um CMOS process, the converter achieves fix-frequency output with a ripple of below 10 mV and an overshoot of 10 mV at 400 mA step load transient response. With width optimization of the power transistors in an ultra-heavy load and PFM control in a light load, the efficiency stays at over 83% for a load range from 20 mA to 1.5 A and the peak efficiency reaches 90.16%.展开更多
