A new canonical circuit model is proposed, whose fixed topology contains all the essential inputr-output and control properties of any dc-todc switching converter, regardless of its detailed configuration, and by which different converters can be characterized in the form of a table conveniently stored in a computer data bank to provide a useful tool for computer aided design and optimization. The new canonical circuit model predicts that, in general;switching action introduces both zeros and poles into the duty ratio to output transfer function in addition to those from the effective filter network.","PeriodicalId":208049,"journal":{"name":"1970 IEEE Power Electronics Specialists Conference","volume":"76 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116846942","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}

(1) The switching operations should be completed within the retrace interval of horizontal scanning. (2) The output voltage is close to the input voltage value. To realize a regulator satisfying both of these two conditions, a reactor with two windings should be used. In this case, turn ration of windings differs far from unity. Hence a surge voltage due to leakage inductance appears across the transistor. The amount of the surge may be great enough to cause a break down in the transistor. We propose in this paper a method of cascade connection to give a solution to the problem of switching surge. The key point of the surge reduction is to make use of a cascade connection of the switching regulator with reactors of single winding. The efficiency, the voltage rating of the transistor and the regulation range are discussed on typical three kinds of circuit.","PeriodicalId":208049,"journal":{"name":"1970 IEEE Power Electronics Specialists Conference","volume":"81 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"134224646","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}

Such converters use a mulitude of separate individual half-wave switching sections. Each section consists of a power transistor and a transformer which is reset through an external bias current source. The transformer typically contains a square-loop core without an airgap. Center tap, SCR, and bridge-type configurations are presented attendant to single-phase full-wave, and polyphase operation. Transformer-core saturation dc ratcheting and cross conduction problems, which frequently plague dc/dc converters, are eliminated. As a result, considerable differences in conduction times between power transistors can be tolerated, as well as some overlap resulting from storage and recovery lags. Typical approaches, circuit variations, and tradeoffs are being presented. Detailed schematic diagrams of actual units for aerospace applications and for industrial uses are discussed in the Appendix.","PeriodicalId":208049,"journal":{"name":"1970 IEEE Power Electronics Specialists Conference","volume":"36 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1976-06-08","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133313694","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}
