Method for eliminating magnetic saturation in low-voltage and high-current DC-DC converter with fast dynamic response is described. The magnetic saturation is observed in onboard isolated bridge-type DC-DC converter due to inherently asymmetrical PWM signal during transient condition. The saturation is not eliminated by using ac-coupling capacitor for transformer. Mechanism of the saturation is analyzed and confirmed by experiments. Based on the analysis a solution for the magnetic saturation is proposed. The effectiveness of proposed method is also confirmed by experiments.

A transition-mode (TM) dimmable high brightness light-emitting-diode (LED) driver for general and residential illumination applications is presented. An improved pulse-width modulation dimming technique utilizing a low cost micro-controller is studied and implemented with a current-regulated LED drive. Under universal input voltage operation, high power factor and high efficiency can be achieved by a coupled inductor flyback converter, regulated by a TM power-factor-correction controller. The operation principles of the proposed LED driver will be discussed and evaluated. A laboratory prototype is also designed and tested for verification.

A novel two-phase interleaved LLC resonant converter is proposed, which can manage the number of phases by output loading. In the proposed scheme, the output load current is detected with sensing resistor in the output terminal. The measured value is compared with the threshold value for phase management and the signal is generated to trigger the gate driver. As a result, it is possible to improve the efficiency at a light load condition.

This paper investigates in detail the design procedures of an integrated magnetics (IM), blended with inductor and transformer functions. Comparison between IMs and coupled inductors in current handling abilities reveals that all of the IM design task can be substituted by the implementation of proper coupled inductors. A design flow-chart for the IM design tasks is then proposed following this result. The IM used in current-doubler rectifier (CDR) circuits is chosen as a representative of such a device for a case study which demonstrates the design procedures. The problem of how to select the proper magnetic core for IMs is also addressed based on our earlier works. The particular issue for IM winding cross-sectional-area optimization is carried out. A prototype following the design flow chart is constructed to verify the design procedures.

This paper concerns the congestion control problem for local wireless sensor networks. A novel design strategy for time-delay compensation without the consideration of delay estimation is proposed. With the aid of this method, a time-varying delay can be compensated and a congestion controller combined with this compensator is designed. The approach is fully verified by the network simulator NS2.

The paper presents a single-stage high-power-factor electronic ballast for metal halide lamps. The proposed ballast integrates a buck-boost converter, a buck converter and a full-bridge inverter into a single power conversion circuit. The buck-boost converter served as a power-factor corrector (PFC) is designed to operate at discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) to achieve nearly a unity power factor at the input line. By adjusting the duty-ratio of the active switches of the PFC, the lamp power is remained at rated value for universal input voltage ranged from 90 Vrms to 264 Vrms. The four active switches of the full-bridge inverter, an inductor and a capacitor form a bidirectional buck converter which supplies a low frequency square-wave current for the lamp at to avoid the lamp from happing acoustic resonance. The circuit operation is analyzed in detail to derive the design equations. A prototype electronic ballast for a 70 W metal halide lamp is built and tested. Experimental measurements are provided to verify that the proposed ballast has the merits of a nearly unity input power factor, high circuit efficiency and the metal halide lamp is free of acoustic resonance.

This paper presents that a detailed steady-state and small-signal analysis of a modified Sheppard-Taylor converter using an average mode is designed for PEM fuel cell applications. Thus, a small-signal average model has all been obtained. According to the analysis above, transfer functions between duty cycle and output voltage and between input and output voltages have been also obtained, so some simplifications and design rules have been proposed to facilitate the design of the feedback loop. Simulink results are given to show the overall system performance.

A current-balancing loop is often used in a voltage-mode multiphase interleaved voltage regulator (VR). It serves not only to balance the phase current but also to suppress the beat-frequency phase current oscillation in driving high-frequency dynamic loads such as recent central processing units (CPUs). In this paper, models were developed to predict the control characteristics of both the functions mentioned above. Two loop gain expressions were developed, one from the perspective of current balancing and the other from the perspective of suppressing beat-frequency oscillation. Based on the modeling results, a design guideline for current-loop compensation was proposed for balancing phase current and suppressing beat-frequency oscillation.
