Output Voltage Ripple (OVR) Reduction of Boost Converter Using Particle Swarm Optimization

KY Boost Converter, a modern invention in the field of non-isolated DC-DC boost converter is identified for minimum voltage ripple. KY boost converter is the com- bination of KY converter and traditional boost converter. Such a converter has con- tinuous input and output inductor current, different from the traditional boost con- verter. And hence this converter is very suitable for very low-ripple applications. The Particle Swarm Optimization (PSO) based controller, FUZZY based controller and open loop KY boost converter are designed in MATLAB/Simulink model. The simu- lated results show a reduction in output ripple from 1.18 V of the existing open loop KY boost converter output to 0.54 V in the FUZZY logic controlled converter out- put. Further reduction in output ripple to 0.29 V is achieved in the proposed PSO based converter. The simulated results also show the variation of switching pulses based on the different existing and proposed method.

Modeling and Analysis of Pulse Skip Modulation

The state space average model and the large signal models of Pulse Skip Modulation （PSM） mode are given in this paper. Farther more, based on these models and simulations of PSM converter circuits, the analysis of the characteristics of PSM converter is described in this paper, of which include efficiency, frequency spectrum analysis, output voltage ripple, response speed and interference rejection capability. Compared with PWM control mode, PSM converter has high efficiency, especially with fight loads, quick response, good interference rejection and good EMC characteristic. Improved PSM slightly, it could be a kind of good independent regulating mode during the whole operating process for a DC-DC converter. Finally, some experimental results are also presented in this paper.

A dual mode charge pump with adaptive output used in a class G audio power amplifier

A dual mode charge pump to produce an adaptive power supply for a class G audio power amplifier is presented.According to the amplitude of the input signals,the charge pump has two level output voltage rails available to save power.It operates both in current mode at high output load and in pulse frequency modulation （PFM） at light load to reduce the power dissipation.Also,dynamic adjustment of the power stage transistor size based on load current at the PFM mode is introduced to reduce the output voltage ripple and prevent the switching frequency from audio range.The prototype is implemented in 0.18μm 3.3 V CMOS technology.Experimental results show that the maximum power efficiency of the charge pump is 79.5%@ 0.5x mode and 83.6%@ lx mode.The output voltage ripple is less than 15 mV while providing 120 mA of the load current at PFM control and less than 18 mV while providing 300 mA of the load current at current mode control.An analytical model for ripple voltage and efficiency calculation of the proposed PFM control demonstrates reasonable agreement with measured results.

Fast corrector power supply design for HEPS

Background High-energy photon source under construction is a fourth-generation synchrotronradiation light source with energy of 6 Gev and ultra-low emittance(lower than 0.1 nm rad).The ultra-low beam emittance requires high beam stability.Purpose In order to meet this requirement of low beam emittance,the fast close orbit correctionsystem is used to keep beam on the right orbit.The fast close orbit correction system need fast corrector power supply to drive the calibration magnet to complete track correction.So,a fastcorrector power supply prototype with high bandwidth and low current ripple to improve the performance of the fast close orbit correction system to prove the high beam stability had beendeveloped.Methods The prototype use a novel multilevel switch-mode structure to provide the dynamicrequirement.The prototype adopts FPGA for full-digital control and use high-speed ADC with temperature control.By using a precision sampling circuit(ADC+DCCT),the prototypeoutputs current ripple can meet the requirement.Results and conclusion The designed for HEPS meet the design requirement.Through test,the prototype has asmall signal bandwidth of 10 kHz and output current ripple lower than 20 ppm.

Research and design of a novel current mode charge pump

To meet the demands for a number of LEDs,a novel charge pump circuit with current mode control is proposed.Regulation is achieved by operating the current mirrors and the output current of the operational transconductance amplifier.In the steady state,the input current from power voltage retains constant,so reducing the noise induced on the input voltage source and improving the output voltage ripple.The charge pump small-signal model is used to describe the device’s dynamic behavior and stability.Analytical predictions were verified by Hspice simulation and testing.Load driving is up to 800 mA with a power voltage of 3.6 V,and the output voltage ripple is less than 45 mV.The output response time is less than 8μs,and the load current jumps from 400 to 800 mA.
