The dc-dc converters are designed to control the power flow from an input source to an output source. For such proposal, composed circuit of switches and other passive elements were used, which by their turn, characterize ...

This paper proposes a thorough methodology for the steady-state characterization of input and output current ripples in Discontinuous Conduction Mode (DCM) interleaved power converters, under inductance mismatch. The ...

In this paper, Hopf and homoclinic bifurcations that occur in the sliding vector field of switching systems in R3 are studied. In particular, a dc–dc boost converter with sliding mode control and washout filter is analyzed. ...

This doctoral thesis presents the development of an analythical method to characterize the parasitic elements and surface temperatures in a synchronous boost power converter. Initially is presented the bibliography review ...

Multiphase power converters allow to reduce semiconductor stress and to improve total ripple characteristics, when compared to a single-phase converter. Semiconductor stress is reduced by dividing the total current among ...

This paper discusses the application of a switching cell to a soft switching converter matrix. At the beginning of the work are presented the characteristics of the converter, pointing out their advantages and disadvantages. ...

Applications in electric mobility, renewable energy systems, and power systems are experiencing a movement towards bigger voltage differences between power sources and loads. This is due to the advance of battery technology, ...
