Slide 3

Control of DC-DC Converters In a dc-dc converter: Average output dc voltage must be controlled to equal a desired level. Utilizes one or more switches to transform dc from one level to another. The average output voltage is controlled by controlling the switch on and off durations (t on and t off ). Lets consider the following switch-mode dc-dc converter: Average output dc voltage V o depends on t on and t off. Switching is done at a constant frequency with switching time period T s. This method is called pulse-width modulation (PWM) in which the duty ratio D is varied to control V o, where D=t on /T s

Slide 4

Control of DC-DC Converters (contd) The switch control signal, which controls the on and off states of the switch, is generated by comparing a signal level control voltage v control with a repetitive waveform. The switching frequency is the frequency of the sawtooth waveform with a constant peak. The duty ratio D can be expressed as
