However, the feeder cable is not designed for data transmission for being a noisy environment. Therefore, PLC modems developed for domestic applications may not be suitable. The aim of our study is to highlight limitations and difficulties that obstruct transmission in industry.

A state machine sets the peak current of enabled cycles, based on the load requirements. At light loads, the variable frequency nature of this control scheme reduces switching losses significantly, while the lowering of the peak current by the state machine reduces the output ripple and audible excitations of the transformer. The state machine control is completely modeled for the first time, including new modeling for the peak-current ratio between DCM states, the number of DCM states required for stability, the minimum number of counts for DCM state transitions required for stability, and DCM modeling for a new peak state with double the maximum switching frequency, which provides peak power during brief peak loads, without requiring an over-rated transformer [1-3]. Characterization of a supply that was designed around the monolithic IC that uses this control scheme is provided.","PeriodicalId":200366,"journal":{"name":"2009 Twenty-Fourth Annual IEEE Applied Power Electronics Conference and Exposition","volume":"42 3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2009-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134259001","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}

The controller operates as a mixed-signal peak current program mode voltage regulator, where a digital current reference is created and used for the efficiency optimization. The losses of the power stage are minimized by combining power stage segmentation and gate swing variation. Based on the current reference, in each switching cycle, the optimal number of power switch segments and gate drive voltages are set through a sequence controller and a novel dual-output switch-capacitor circuit. The effectiveness of the system is verified on a 1.8 V, 5 W, 1 MHz buck converter prototype.
