In medium-voltage applications, the main issue with multilevel converters is that they require a large number of semiconductor switches when higher voltage levels are required. The main objective of this paper is to propose ...

In this work we propose a steady-state modeling of DC-DC converters driven by multiple pulse width modulation (PWM) signals. The proposed DC-DC converter modeling uses a switched state-space framework and the switching ...

This paper presents the use of a high-performance boundary controller for the full-bridge zero-voltage-switching topology. An enhanced dynamic response is obtained by employing the natural switching surface (SS), which is ...

Teaching a course of special electric loads in a continuing education program to power engineers is a difficult task because they are not familiarized with switching topology circuits. Normally, in a typical program, many ...

Multisource switched-capacitor multilevel inverters are proper topologies when multiple dc sources are available as renewable energy sources. However, these multilevel inverters have the main drawbacks of requiring a large ...

This paper proposes a novel differential mixer topology. The traditional stage of switching is replaced by a stack of NMOS and PMOS transistors combined. A design is given of a 900 MHz down-conversion mixer using a 0.35 ...

This paper presents the analysis of a dc-ac converter using a zero-voltage-switching (ZVS) commutation cell. First, we show the cell applied to the buck converter. The stages of operation are presented along with the main ...

Significantly expanded and updated with extensive revisions, new material, and a new chapter on emerging applications of switching converters, Power-Switching Converters, Third Edition offers the same trusted, accessible, ...
