Linear-assisted DC/DC converters with modified current-mode control applied to photovoltaic solar systems
This article shows the proposal of a current-mode one-cycle control for linear-assisted DC/DC converters. Linearassisted DC/DC converters are structures that allow to take advantages of the two classic alternatives in the design of power supply systems: voltage linear regulators (classic NPN topology or LDO –low dropout–) and switching DC/DC converters. The current-mode one-cycle control technique is proposed in order to obtain the duty cycle of the linear-assisted converter switch. The proposed structure can provide an output with suitable load and line regulations. Thus, the paper shows the design and simulation results of the proposed current-mode one-cycle linear-assisted converter.Postprint (published version

Issues in the design of switched linear systems : a benchmark study
In this paper we present a tutorial overview of some of the issues that arise in the design of switched linear control systems. Particular emphasis is given to issues relating to stability and control system realisation. A benchmark regulation problem is then presented. This problem is most naturally solved by means of a switched control design. The challenge to the community is to design a control system that meets the required performance specifications and permits the application of rigorous analysis techniques. A simple design solution is presented and the limitations of currently available analysis techniques are illustrated with reference to this example
Optimal PWM control of switched-capacitor DC/DC power converters via model transformation and enhancing control techniques
Abstract—This paper presents an efficient and effective method
for an optimal pulse width modulated (PWM) control of
switched-capacitor DC/DC power converters. Optimal switching
instants are determined based on minimizing the output ripple
magnitude, the output leakage voltage and the sensitivity of the
output load voltage with respect to both the input voltage and the
load resistance. This optimal PWM control strategy has several
advantages over conventional PWM control strategies: 1) It does
not involve a linearization, so a large signal analysis is performed.
2) It guarantees the optimality. The problem is solved via both the
model transformation and the optimal enhancing control
techniques. A practical example of the PWM control of a
switched-capacitor DC/DC power converter is presented
