Interleaved Boost Converter with Cumulative Voltage Unitpaperpublications3
Abstract: A boost converter is a DC to DC converter with an output voltage greater than the source voltage. But it produces large input current ripple. In order to improve the efficiency of the boost converter and reduce the ripple current, an interleaved boost converter is used. An interleaved boost converter consists of several boost converters connected in parallel with switching frequency and a phase shift of 180˚. A new interleaved high step-up DC-DC converter with the circuit of cumulative voltage unit (CVU) is presented in this work. This converter is suitable for the high gain applications. Only two switches are required to form the boosting path and the interleaved topology. Each CVU module can share common diodes to reduce the number of the components and step up the voltage gain. The interleaved structure in the input end can reduce the power loss in each current-owing component and the input current ripple. The interleaved boost converter with voltage summation unit can be verified by using MATLAB/SIMULINK.

Brushless DC motor is a synchronous machine that makes use of electronic commutation instead of mechanical commutator. Brushless DC motors makes use of inverter encompassing static switches for its operation. A simple bridge converter when used for BLDC drive as front end converter makes input source power factor to get reduced which is unacceptable in the power system. To avoid the distortions in the source voltage and source currents, Buck converter which was used as power factor correction (PFC) converter in this paper to improve the power factor. Presence of power electronic converters deteriorates system power factor effecting overall system performance. This paper presents buck converter for power factor correction in brushless DC motor drive system. Buck converter is operated with current control strategy rather to conventional voltage follower control. Simulation model was obtained using MATLAB/SIMULINK software and the brushless DC motor performance characteristics were shown for conditions with different DC link voltages and step variation in DC link voltage. Total harmonic distortion in source current was also presented.

In this work, inductor current is considered as the reference for analysis.The results show that the converter enters into period-1, periodic doubling and chaotic regions as per the parameter (IL) variations. The proposed control strategy, weak periodic perturbation (WPP) method tries to stabilize the system from the chaotic behavior.The buck boost converter along with the control system is simulated using MATLAB/SIMULINK software tool and the results are presented.The hardware implementation of the system is done and the results are verified with the simulation results. It shows that the WPP can transform the system behaviour from the chaotic region to the periodic one.

Design of Half Bridge LLC Resonant Converter for Low Voltage Dc ApplicationsIOSRJEEE
An advanced hybrid LLC series resonant converter with united flying-capacitor cell is proposed in this paper to permit the high step-down conversion in the high input voltage applications. The in-built flyingcapacitor branch in the primary side can efficiently share out the primary switch voltage stress related with the half-bridge LLC converters. And the input voltage can be shared correspondingly and automatically between the two series half-bridge components lacking additional balance circuit or control strategies owing to the built-in flying- capacitor cell. Likewise, the inherent soft switching performance in extensive load range that exists in the LLC converters is still kept to decrease the switching losses, which ensures the high efficiency. In addition, the proposed converter can be comprehensive to reduce the switch voltage stress byemploying stacked connection. Finally, a 500∼640 Vinput 48 Voutput 1 kW prototype is built and tested to verify the efficiency of the proposed converter. The results prove that the proposed converter is an excellent candidate for the high input voltage and high step-down dc/dc conversion systems.
Design of an Integrated Power Factor Converter with PI Controller for Low Pow...IOSRJEEE
In this paper, an integrated power factor converter with PI controller is proposed. The circuit topology is obtained by integrating two converters namely the buck converter and a boost converter. The boost converter is normally a step up converter which obtain an unity power factor and performs low harmonics at the input. Based on the simple circuit topology and easy control the boost converter or buck-boost converter is used as power factor correctors. Similarly the buck converter regulates the dc-link voltage and provide a stable dc output voltage. To achieve unity power factor, the output voltage of both converter should be higher than the amplitude of the ac line voltage. The steady -state analysis is developed and a design is provided
This paper presents the simulation design of dc/dc interleaved boost converter with zero-voltage switching (ZVS). By employin the interleaved structure, the input current stresses to switching devices were reduced and this signified to a switching conduction loss reduction. All the parameters had been calculated theoretically. The proposed converter circuit was simulated by using MATLAB/Simulink and PSpice software programmes. The converter circuit model, with specifications of output power of 200 W, input voltage range from 10~60 V, and operates at 100 kHz switching frequency was simulated to validate the designed parameters. The results showed that the main switches of the model converter circuit achieved ZVS conditions during the interleaving operation. Consequently, the switching losses in the main switching devices were reduced. Thus, the proposed converter circuit model offers advantages of input current stress and switching loss reductions. Hence, based on the designed parameters and results, the converter model can be extended for hardware implementation.
Review of Step down Converter with Efficient ZVS OperationIJRST Journal
This paper presents the review of step down converter with efficient ZVS operation. The designed buck converter uses ZCS technique and the function is realized so that the power form is converted from 12V DC 5V DC (1A). A detailed analysis of zero current switching buck converters is performed and a mathematical analysis of the mode of operation is also presented. In order to reduce the switching losses in associated with conventional converters; resonant inductor and resonant capacitor (LC resonant circuit) is applied which helps to turn on-off the switch at zero current. The dc-dc buck converter receives the energy from the input source, when the switch is turned-on. The buck–buck converters have characteristics that warrant a more detailed study. The buck converters under discontinuous conduction mode /continuous conduction mode boundary.

NON-ISOLATED SOFT SWITCHING DC-DC CONVERTER AND LOAD AT FULL RANGE OF ZVS IAEME Publication
A non isolated soft switching DC–DC converter and load at full range of zero-voltage
switching (ZVS) characteristic is proposed. The proposed converter consists of an auxiliary circuit,
an inductor, two switches, and 2 diodes to achieving high efficiency at full range of load. At low
and heavy loads, ZVS of switching device is achieved by energy storing component. The inductor
energy stored varies with load and hence results in minimizes conduction loss. This leads to
switching of device for full range of load. The proposed DC - DC converter achieves high
efficiency as switching loss is reduced due to soft switching and ZVS operation which severe to
reduce conduction loss. The efficiency is improved about 4% in boost mode (2.5% in buck mode) at
full range of load. To verify the performance of the proposed converter, experimental results
prototype are presented.

Effective Application Security in Software Delivery lifecycle using Deployment Firewall and DBOM
The modern software delivery process (or the CI/CD process) includes many tools, distributed teams, open-source code, and cloud platforms. Constant focus on speed to release software to market, along with the traditional slow and manual security checks has caused gaps in continuous security as an important piece in the software supply chain. Today organizations feel more susceptible to external and internal cyber threats due to the vast attack surface in their applications supply chain and the lack of end-to-end governance and risk management.
The software team must secure its software delivery process to avoid vulnerability and security breaches. This needs to be achieved with existing tool chains and without extensive rework of the delivery processes. This talk will present strategies and techniques for providing visibility into the true risk of the existing vulnerabilities, preventing the introduction of security issues in the software, resolving vulnerabilities in production environments quickly, and capturing the deployment bill of materials (DBOM).

Securing your Kubernetes cluster_ a step-by-step guide to success !KatiaHIMEUR1
Today, after several years of existence, an extremely active community and an ultra-dynamic ecosystem, Kubernetes has established itself as the de facto standard in container orchestration. Thanks to a wide range of managed services, it has never been so easy to set up a ready-to-use Kubernetes cluster.
However, this ease of use means that the subject of security in Kubernetes is often left for later, or even neglected. This exposes companies to significant risks.
In this talk, I'll show you step-by-step how to secure your Kubernetes cluster for greater peace of mind and reliability.

Climate impact / sustainability of software testing discussed on the talk. ICT and testing must carry their part of global responsibility to help with the climat warming. We can minimize the carbon footprint but we can also have a carbon handprint, a positive impact on the climate. Quality characteristics can be added with sustainability, and then measured continuously. Test environments can be used less, and in smaller scale and on demand. Test techniques can be used in optimizing or minimizing number of tests. Test automation can be used to speed up testing.

Abstract: Now a day’s dc-dc switching converters are widely used for sophisticated application. By using these
converters with given dc input voltage a stabilised output voltage can be obtained by using Buck (lower), Boost
(higher) or Buck –Boost (generic) topology which improves the efficiency of dc-dc converter as compared to
linear regulators. Most used technique to control switching power supply is pulse width modulation (PWM). In
this way a particular dc-dc converter is designed by keeping the typical application in mind. A properly
designed dc-dc converter provide low ripple, better noise rejection, reliable and efficient converter. For some
typical application like powering LED needs constant current supply for constant illumination, hence feedback
based closed loop converters becomes better choice. In the present thesis for low power application a PWM
based closed loop dc-dc buck converter has been designed, analysed and simulated. A MOSEFET has been used
as switching device and components has been designed for low ripple and low noise. With variation in load and
variation in input power supply output supply voltage has been obtained as constant value by using PID
controller. The performance of PID controller and switching frequency has been adjusted such that the output
voltage maintain at 8 V. By rigorous simulation procedure it has been obtained that for load resistance in the
range of 10Ω to 35Ω and with the value of P = 8, I = 20 and at a switching frequency of 100 KHz, the output
voltage provides a constant value at 7.995 V approximately. The maximum ripple value obtained is 4%.
MATLAB has been used as a tool for simulation. The performance of converter has been analysed by
controlling PID controller.

I. Introduction
Linear regulators are great for powering very low powered devices. They are easy to use and cheap,
and therefore are very popular. However, due to the way they work, they are extremely inefficient.
A linear regulator works by taking the difference between the input and output voltages, and just
burning it up as waste heat. The larger the difference between the input and output voltage, the more heat is
produced. In most cases, a linear regulator wastes more power stepping down the voltage than it actually ends
up delivering to the target device. With typical efficiencies of 40%, and reaching as low as 14%, linear voltage
regulation generates a lot of waste heat which must be dissipated with bulky and expensive heat sinks. This also
means reduced battery life for your projects. A switching regulator works by taking small chunks of energy, bit
by bit, from the input voltage source, and moving them to the output. This is accomplished with the help of an
electrical switch and a controller which regulates the rate at which energy is transferred to the output. The
energy losses involved in moving chunks of energy around in this way are relatively small, and the result is that
a switching regulator can typically have 85% efficiency. Since their efficiency is less dependent on input
voltage, they can power useful loads from higher voltage sources.
Linear Regulator

A simple Linear Regulator. If we consider an example, where Vin= 12V and we want to have a Vout=
8V. In this case we need to drop 4 volts across the regulator.
Using standard power equation: P = V*I
If the output current = 10A, this will result in 10 A * 4 V = 40 W.
Now the regulator must dissipate 40 W of heat energy. This results in a mere 66.6% efficiency for the
linear regulator and a lot of wasted power which is normally transformed into heat. Provision for heat sinks for
cooling makes the regulator bulky and large. Hence, where size and efficiency are critical, linear voltage
regulators cannot be used.
Figure 2 is a very basic switching regulator. The switching regulator is a simple switch (and hence
ideally no resistance or very low resistance). This switch goes on and off at a fixed rate (usually between 50
KHz to 100 KHz) as show
Switching Regulator
The Duty Cycle for the switch is determined by the Eq.
Duty Cycle =
Vout
Vin
The time that the switch remains closed during each switch cycle is varied to maintain a constant
output voltage. The switching regulator is much more efficient than the linear regulator achieving efficiencies as
high as 80% to 95% in some circuits. In contrast, the linear regulator usually exhibits only 50% to 60%
efficiency. With higher efficiency smaller heat sinks will be required because lesser heat is dissipated.
Comparison between Linear Regulator and Switching Regulator
Linear Switching
Function Only step down; input voltage must be
greater than output.
Step up, Step down, or inverts
Complexity Low, which usually requires only the
regulator and low value bypass capacitors.
Medium to high, which usually requires
inductor, diode, an filter caps in addition
to the IC; for high power circuits, external
FFTs are needed
Ripple/Noise Low; no ripple, better noise rejection. Medium to high, due to ripple at switching
rate.
Efficiency Low to medium, But actual battery life
depends on load current and battery
voltage over time; high if Vin-Vout
difference is small.
High, except at very low load
currents(µA), where switch mode
quiescent current is usually higher
Size Small to medium in portable designs, but
may be larger if heat sinking is needed
Larger than linear at low power, but
smaller at power levels for which linear
requires a heat sink.
Total cost Low Medium to high, largely due to external
components.
Waste heat High, if average load and/or input/output
voltage difference are high.
Low as components usually run cool for
power levels below 12W
DC-DC Converter
DC-DC converters are electronic devices that are used whenever we want to change DC electrical
power efficiently from one voltage level to another. In the previous chapter we mentioned the drawbacks of
doing this with a linear regulator.
Types of Converters
Currently, dc/dc converters can be divided into two broad categories:
• Non-isolated dc/dc converters
• Isolated dc/dc converters

Non-Isolated DC/DC Converters
The non-isolated converter usually employs an inductor, and there is no dc voltage isolation between
the input and the output. The vast majority of applications do not require dc isolation between input and output
voltages. The non-isolated dc-dc converter has a dc path between its input and output. Battery-based systems
that don’t use the ac power line represent a major application for non-isolated dc-dc converters. Point-of-load
dc-dc converters that draw input power from an isolated dc-dc converter, such as a bus converter, represent
another widely used non-isolated application. Most of these dc-dc converter ICs use either an internal or
external synchronous rectifier. Their only magnetic component is usually an output inductor and thus less
susceptible to generating electromagnetic interference. For the same power and voltage levels, it usually has
lower cost and fewer components while requiring less pc-board area than an isolated dc-dc converter. For lower
voltages (12V) non-isolated buck converters can be used.
Isolated DC/DC Converters
For safety considerations, there must be isolation between an electronic system’s ac input and dc
output. Isolation requirements cover all systems operating from the ac power line, which can include an isolated
front-end ac-dc power supply followed by an isolated “brick” dc-dc converter, followed by a non-isolated point-
of-load converter. Typical isolation voltages for ac-dc and dc-dc power supplies run from 1500 to 4000V,
depending on the application. An isolated converter employs a transformer to provide dc isolation between the
input and output voltage which eliminates the dc path between the two.
Isolated dc-dc converters use a switching transformer whose secondary is either diode-or synchronous-
rectified to produce a dc output voltage using an inductor capacitor output filter. This configuration has the
advantage of producing multiple output voltages by adding secondary transformer windings. For higher input
voltages (48V) transformer isolated converters are more viable
Buck Converter – Theory of Operation
The name “Buck Converter” presumably evolves from the fact that the input voltage is
bucked/chopped or attenuated, in amplitude and a lower amplitude voltage appears at the output. A buck
converter, or step-down voltage regulator, provides non-isolated, switch-mode dc-dc conversion with the
advantages of simplicity and low cost. Figure 3 shows a simplified non-isolated buck converter that accepts a dc
input and uses pulse-width modulation (PWM) of switching frequency to control the output of an internal power
MOSFET. An external diode, together with external inductor and output capacitor, produces the regulated dc
output.
.
Non isolated Buck Regulator
The buck converter here onwards is introduced using the evolutionary approach. Let us consider the
circuit in Figure 4(a), containing a single pole double-throw switch.
4. Study and Design, Simulation of PWM basedBuck converter for Low Power Application
DOI: 10.9790/1676-10420117 www.iosrjournals.org 4 | Page
Buck Converter
The output voltage equals the input voltage when the switch is in position 1 and it is zero when the
switch is in position 2. By varying the duration for which the switch is in position 1 and 2, it can be seen that the
average output voltage can be varied, but the output voltage is not pure dc. The circuit in (a) can be modified as
shown in belwo by adding an inductor in series with the load resistor. An inductor reduces ripple in current
passing through it and the output voltage would contain less ripple content since the current through the load
resistor is the same as that of the inductor. When the switch is in position A, the current through the inductor
increases and the energy stored in the inductor increases. When the switch is in position 2, the inductor acts as a
source and maintains the current through the load resistor. During this period, the energy stored in the inductor
decreases and its current falls. It is important to note that there is continuous conduction through the load for this
circuit. If the time constant due to the inductor and load resistor is relatively large compared with the period for
which the switch is in position 1 or 2, then the rise and fall of current through inductor is more or less linear, as
shown in Figure 5.
Effect of an Inductor
A capacitor reduces the ripple content in voltage across it, whereas an inductor smoothes the current
passing through it. The combined action of LC filter reduces the ripple in output to a very low level.
Circuit with an LC Filter
With the circuit in Figurer it is possible to have a power semiconductor switch to correspond to the
switch in position 1 and a diode in position 2. The circuit that results is shown in Figure 7. When the switch is in
position 2, the current will pass through the diode. The important thing now is the controlling of the power
semiconductor switch.

Buck converter without feedback
The circuit in Figure Bulk converter without feedback can be regarded as the most elementary buck
converter without a feedback. The Buck Converter transfers small packets of energy with the help of a power
switch, a diode, and an inductor and is accompanied by an output filter capacitor and input filter. All the other
topologies such as the Boost, Buck-Boost Converter etc, vary by the different arrangement of these basic
components.
This circuit can be further modified by adding the feedback part which is integral for a stabilizes the
output. Such a circuit is shown in the Figurers below.
Step down Buck Converter with feedback
The PWM Controller above figure compares a portion of the rectified dc output with a voltage
reference (Vref) and varies the PWM duty cycle to maintain a constant dc output voltage. If the output voltage
wants to increase, the PWM lowers its duty cycle to reduce the regulated output, keeping it at its proper voltage
level. Conversely, if the output voltage tends to go down, the feedback causes the PWM duty cycle to increase
and maintain the proper output. A buck converter or step-down switch mode power supply can also be called a
switch mode regulator
Different components in the Buck Converter
Buck converter consists of five standard components:
transistor switch (active switch)
capacitor
diode (passive switch)
inductor
pulse-width modulating controller
Switch
In its crudest form a switch can be a toggle switch which switches between supply voltage and ground.
But for all practical applications which we shall consider we will deal with transistors. Transistors chosen for
use in switching power supplies must have fast switching times and should be able to withstand the voltage
spikes produced by the inductor. The input on the gate of the transistor is normally a Pulse Width Modulated
(PWM) signal which will determine the ON and OFF time. Sizing of the power switch is determined by the load
current and off-state voltage capability.
Operating Frequency
The operating frequency determines the performance of the switch. Switching frequency selection is
typically determined by efficiency requirements. There is now a growing trend in research work and new power
supply designs in increasing the switching frequencies. The higher is the switching frequency, the smaller the
physical size and component value. The reason for this is to reduce even further the overall size of the power
supply in line with miniaturisation trends in electronic and computer systems.
Capacitor
Capacitor provides the filtering action by providing a path for the harmonic currents away from the
load. Output capacitance (across the load) is required to minimize the voltage overshoot and ripple present at the
output of a step-down converter. The capacitor is large enough so that its voltage does not have any noticeable
change during the time the switch is off. Large overshoots are caused by insufficient output capacitance, and
6. Study and Design, Simulation of PWM basedBuck converter for Low Power Application
DOI: 10.9790/1676-10420117 www.iosrjournals.org 6 | Page
large voltage ripple is caused by insufficient capacitance as well as a high equivalent-series resistance (ESR) in
the output capacitor. The maximum allowed output voltage overshoot and ripple are usually specified at the time
of design. Thus, to meet the ripple specification for a step-down converter circuit, we must include an output
capacitor with ample capacitance and low ESR.
Inductor
The function of the inductor is to limit the current slew rate (limit the current in rush) through the
power switch when the circuit is ON. The current through the inductor cannot change suddenly. When the
current through an inductor tends to fall, the inductor tends to maintain the current by acting as a source. This
limits the otherwise high-peak current that would be limited by the switch resistance alone. The key advantage
is when the inductor is used to drop voltage, it stores energy. Also the inductor controls the percent of the ripple
and determines whether or not the circuit is operating in the continuous mode.

Pulse Width Modulation (PWM)
Design and analysis of Buck Converter
The buck converter is used for step down operation. A buck converter with its output filter area
Open loop buck converter
When the switch S1 is on and S2 is off, the input voltage appears across the inductor and current in
inductor increases linearly. In the same cycle the capacitor is charged. When the switch S1 is on and S2 is off,
the voltage across the inductor is reversed. However, current in the inductor cannot change instantaneously and
the current starts decreasing linearly. In this cycle also the capacitor is also charged with the energy stored in the
inductor.
Continuous Mode / Discontinuous Mode
During the ON state and then the subsequent OFF state the Buck Converter can operate in Continuous
Mode or Discontinuous Mode. The difference between the two is that in CCM the current in the inductor does
not fall to zero.
(a) Continuous mode (b) Discontinuous mode

Calculation for Duty Ratio
For calculation of the duty ratio we will first of all assume that the converter is in steady state. The
switches are treated as being ideal, and the losses in the inductive and the capacitive elements are neglected.
Also it is important to point out that the following analysis does not include any parasitic resistances (all ideal
case). The analysis also has the assumption that the converter is operating in Continuous conduction mode only
i.e. iL(t) > 0.When the switch is on for time duration ton , the switch conducts the inductor current and the diode
becomes reverse biased. This results in a positive voltage vL=Vd-Vo across the inductor in Figure 12 (a). This
voltage causes a linear increase in the inductor current iL. When the switch is turned off, because of the
inductive energy storage, iL continues to flow. This current now flows through the diode, and vL = −Vo in Figure.
Since in steady-state operation waveform must repeat from one time period to the next, the integral of the
inductor voltage L v over one time period must be zero, where Ts = ton+ toff .

Hence in this mode, the voltage output varies linearly with the duty ratio of the switch for a given input
voltage and does not depend on any other circuit parameter.
Step down converter circuit states for CCM mode: (a) Switch on; (b) Switch off
Calculation for Inductor
We can derive a simplified differential equation based on the assumption that the voltage across the
load, and thereby across the capacitor, is fairly constant. The differential equation in terms of the current
through the inductor, when the switch is closed, may now be written as
𝐿𝑖 𝐿 𝑡

Assuming that the circuit has assumed steady state hence there may already be some current in the
inductor, ILmin , just prior to the closing of switch S. Hence for a time interval 0 ≤t ≤ Ton = DT , gives:

Defining the change in the current from its minimum to maximum value as the peak-to-peak current

Note that the current ripple is directly proportional to D, the duty cycle, upon which we may not have
any control because of the output voltage requirement. However, it is inversely proportional to the inductance L
upon which we can exert some control. Thus, the current ripple can be controlled by a proper selection of the
inductor.
Let us now analyze the circuit when the switch is in its open position. The inductor current completes
its path through the lower side MOSFET and the corresponding differential equation, for OFF 0 ≤ t ≤ TOFF, is

Where IL,max is the maximum value of the current in the inductor at the opening of the switch or the

load. That is,

Source Current
When the switch, the inductor, and the capacitor are treated as ideal elements, the average power
dissipated by them is zero. Consequently, the average power supplied by the source must be equal to the average
power delivered to the load. That is,
𝑉𝑑 𝐼 𝑑 = 𝑉𝑜 𝐼𝑜 = 𝐷𝑉𝑠 𝐼𝑠 − − − − − −(12)
This equation helps us express the average source current in terms of the average load current as
𝐼𝑠 = 𝐷𝐼𝑜 the current through the lower side MOSFET is shown in Figure 15. Its average value is
𝐼𝐿𝑠 = 1 − 𝐷 𝐼𝑜 − − − − − − − − 13
Current through low side of Mosefet
We know the fact that the buck converter can either operate in its continuous conduction mode or
discontinuous mode. When it operates in the continuous conduction mode, there is always a current in the
inductor. The minimum current in the continuous conduction mode can be zero. Consequently, there is a
minimum value of the inductor that ensures its continuous conduction mode. It can be obtained from Eq. 11 by
setting IL min to zero as

Calculation for Capacitor
The output capacitor is assumed to be so large as to yield vo(t)=Vo . However, the ripple in the output
voltage with a practical value of capacitance can be calculated by considering the waveforms shown in Figure
16 for a continuous conduction mode of operation. Assuming that all of the ripple component in iL flows
through the capacitor and its average component flow through the load resistor, the shaded area in Figure 16
represents an additional charge ΔQ.

Equation 19 shows that the voltage ripple can be minimized by selecting a corner frequency fc of the
low pass filter at the output such that fc <<fs. Also, the ripple is independent of the output load power, so long
as the converter operates in the continuous-conduction mode. We should note that in switch-mode dc power
supplies, the percentage ripple in the output voltage are usually specified to be less than, for instance, 1%.
The analysis carried out above assumes ideal components and if we were to make the analysis using all
the non-ideal components it would make the derivation a bit more complex with a lot of other parameters
included in the final equation. But for the calculation of initial values of the components the above
approximations does result in reasonable values. It is also important to realize here that the ESR and ESL are
also important and can even dominate. More about how the non-ideality can affect the overall system can be
found on [6].
PWM Controller
The heart of a switching power supply is its switch control circuit (controller). One of the key
objectives in designing a controller for the power converter is to obtain tight output voltage regulation under
different line and load conditions [7]. Often, the control circuit is a negative-feedback control loop connected to
the switch through a comparator and a Pulse Width Modulator (PWM). The switch control signal (PWM),
controls the state (on or off) of the switch. This control circuit regulates the output voltage against changes in
the load and the Input voltage.
PWM
PWM is the method of choice to control modern power electronics circuits. The basic idea is to control
the duty cycle of a switch such that a load sees a controllable average voltage. To achieve this, the switching
frequency (repetition frequency for the PWM signal) is chosen high enough that the load cannot follow the
individual switching events and they appear just a “blur” to the load, which reacts only to the average state of
the switch.
With pulse-width modulation control, the regulation of output voltage is achieved by varying the duty
cycle of the switch, keeping the frequency of operation constant. Duty cycle refers to the ratio of the period for
which the power semiconductor is kept ON to the cycle period.

Comparator and Voltage to PWM Converter
Switching power supplies rely on negative feedback to maintain the output voltages at their specified
value. To accomplish this, a differential amplifier is used to sense the difference between an ideal voltage (the
reference voltage) and the actual output voltage to establish a small error signal (v control).
Voltage Reference Controller
The PWM switching at a constant switching frequency is generated by comparing a signal-level control
voltage v control with a repetitive waveform as shown in Figure 18.
PWM Comparator Signals
The frequency of the repetitive waveform with a constant peak, which is shown to be a saw tooth,
establishes the switching frequency. This frequency is kept constant in a PWM control and is chosen to be in a
few hundred kilohertz range. When the amplified error signal, which varies very slowly with time relative to the
switching frequency, is greater than the saw tooth waveform, the switch control signal becomes HIGH, causing
the switch to turn on. Otherwise, the switch is off. So when the circuit output voltage changes, v control also
changes causing the comparator threshold to change. Consequently, the output pulse width also changes. This
duty cycle change then moves the output voltage to reduce to error signal to zero, thus completing the control
loop. In terms of, v control and the peak of the saw tooth waveform Vst in the switch duty ratio can be expressed
as

PID Controller
A proportional–integral–derivative controller (PID controller) is a generic control loop feedback
mechanism (controller) widely used in industrial control systems – a PID is the most commonly used feedback
controller. A PID controller calculates an "error" value as the difference between a measured process
variable and a desired set point. The controller attempts to minimize the error by adjusting the process control
inputs.
With the use of PI controller the output voltage of the buck converter set to a desired value. In this
chapter we vary the value of P and I so that our desired output will be achieved. For this first we set the value of
P=0, and then vary the value of I=0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and so on. Then change the value of P=3, and then vary the
value of I=0, 10, 20, 30, 40 and so on. Similar process will be repeated such that our desired value will not
achieve.

efficiency can be improved.
2. Here we design for low power applications, by changing the parameter of buck converter, high power
