This improves upon thermal management by increasing the thermal management contribution of the PCB itself. A thermal calibration loop is proposed in which a given converter is analyzed and data extracted, in order to create a thermal map of the surface temperature from which the component layout and thermal profiles can be estimated. Thermal figures of merit are vital to quantify the thermal adjustments, recorded in this thermal map, which are required during thermal calibration. The thermal figures of merit are also flexible enough to allow for specific optimization objectives such as high power density, or overall reliability. Two graphical means to predict temperature profiles required in the thermal calibration loop have been investigated: a thermal resistor network method with a purely analytical approach, suitable for relatively small systems where the geometry and loss analysis are simple (fewer than ten components), or a more elaborate method using a finite difference method algorithm, implemented in a spreadsheet environment. Both provide flexible means for PCB thermal layout and provide straightforward graphical visualization. A case study illustrates the complete design method.","PeriodicalId":100635,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Electronics Letters","volume":"3 4","pages":"125-129"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/LPEL.2005.860625","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49969990","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Quasiresonant converters are explored and compared to standard SC converters. Comparisons to inductor-based switching power converters are made. A number of capacitor technologies are evaluated and compared for applications to both SC converters and inductor-based converters.

By PWM duty-ratio control, they become \"solid-state transformers\" with a continuously variable turns ratio. All the proposed ac-ac converters in this paper employ only two switches. Compared to the existing PWM ac-ac converter circuits, they have unique features: providing a larger range of output ac voltage with buck-boost, reversing or maintaining phase angle, reducing in-rush and harmonic current, and improving reliability. The operating principle and control method of the proposed topologies are presented. Analysis, simulation, and experimental results are given using the voltage-fed Z-source ac-ac converter as an example. The analysis can be easily extended to other converters of the proposed family. The proposed converters could be used in voltage regulation, power regulation, and so on.","PeriodicalId":100635,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Electronics Letters","volume":"3 4","pages":"121-124"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/LPEL.2005.860453","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49969991","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, the actual power-stage small-signal control-to-output response shows a different behavior from what the traditional CCM model predicts, specifically, more damping around the double-pole frequency, instead of more resonance. This paper presents a modified small-signal light-load model for a synchronous buck converter. The developed model accurately predicts the actual small-signal behavior of a PWM converter at light load. The derived averaged switch model for light load can also be used for the small-signal models of the other basic PWM converters operating in CCM at light load.","PeriodicalId":100635,"journal":{"name":"IEEE Power Electronics Letters","volume":"3 4","pages":"144-147"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2005-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://sci-hub-pdf.com/10.1109/LPEL.2005.863605","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"49969986","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
