Transfer of power from a lower voltage
source to a higher voltage source
The step-up chopper can be used to
transfer power from a lower voltage
source to a higher voltage source as
shown on the next slide
The voltage E and inductance L could
be representing a dc motor supplying
power to the dc supply during braking.
For continuous source current, the
current waveform would be similar to
the waveform in Figure 4.5. repeated on
the next slide.

Switch-Mode DC Power Supplies
Switch-mode mode dc power supplies use
dc choppers to convert unregulated dc input
into regulated dc output.
The regulation is achieved by pulse-width
modulation and the switching device is
normally power BJT, MOSFET or IGBT.
At the output of the dc chopper is a small
filter which is treated as an integral part of
the chopper.
Switch-mode dc power supplies contd
The load is represented by an equivalent
resistance which is usually the case in
switch mode dc power supplies.
Two basic converter topologies, namely
step-down (buck) converter and step-up
(boost) converter are discussed.
Other topologies like buck-boost and Cuk
converters are combinations of the two
basic topologies.
Step-Down (Buck) DC-To-DC Converter
This converter provides an average output
voltage lower than the dc input voltage.
Where the input voltage is ac, the converter
is very often used with an isolation
transformer. In such converters, the ac input
is first rectified and smoothed.
The smoothed dc is then chopped at a high
frequency to feed the isolation transformer
which is ferrite cored transformer, much
smaller than its 50 Hz counterpart.
Step-down (Buck) dc-to-dc converter
contd
The figure on the next slide shows
the circuit of non-isolated converter
using a power BJT as switch.
It is like the step-down chopper in
Figure 4.2 and it operates in the
same manner as that step-down
chopper.
Buck converter contd
Waveforms in the converter are shown on
the next slide.
They are obtained under the assumption that
the capacitance is very large thus causing
the output voltage v
o
(t) to be equal to V
o
(the average output voltage).
This assumption is very reasonable because
in switch mode dc power supplies, the
percentage ripple in the output is usually
less than 1 %.
Buck converter contd
Depending on the switching frequency,
filter inductance and capacitance, the
inductance current may be continuous
or discontinuous, giving a mode of
operation called
- the continuous conduction mode
(CCM) and
- discontinuous conduction mode
(DCM) respectively.
Buck converter contd
It is not common to mix these two
operating modes because they
require different control algorithms.
We consider only the CCM.
When the transistor is turned on and
off, the voltage across the diode will
be as shown on the next slide.
