    No full text
    This paper is devoted to the analysis of the effect of switching frequency modulation (SFM) used for EMI reduction on the synchronous buck converters (SBC) parameters, such us output voltage ripples (OVR), peak power component currents, etc. In the paper SBC are studied analytically, using computer simulations and experimentally. The most careful attention is paid on the peak-to-peak OVR because it is the most problematic parameter due to the use of SFM. Several useful guidelines for the choice of SFM parameters and slight modification of the control circuit to get peak-to-peak OVR as small as possible are also proposed. The results presented in the paper can simplify the design of SBC with SFM

    No full text
    In this paper analysis of output voltage ripples of a switching frequency modulated (SFM) buck converter operating in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is performed. The ripples are analyzed in both time and frequency domains by the use of theoretical derivations and computer simulations. Significant increase in output voltage ripples under DCM is observed after using periodic SFM. Low frequency variations at modulation frequency are considered as the most problematic. Cause of the problem is revealed. Influence of main nonidealities of the converter and modulation parameters on the output voltage ripples is analyzed. Experimental verification is also performed to confirm the theoretical evaluations and simulation results. The analysis can give useful information when designing a SFM power converter

    In this paper power quality of switching frequency modulated (SFM) power converters is analyzed in details. Careful attention is paid on the effect of SFM parameters on switching power converter input current total harmonic distortion (THD) and power factor. Theoretical analysis, simulations and experiments show that SFM used for electromagnetic interference reduction in switching power converters has almost invisible impact on input current THD and power factor of conventional switching power converters

    In this paper conducted electromagnetic interference (EMI) of boost converter with switching frequency modulation (SFM) is theoretically analyzed in details. In the analysis line impedance stabilization network parameters, power inductor and input filtering capacitor parameters are taken into account. The analysis shows that the conducted EMI attenuation due to the use of SFM depends not only on modulation index as it is assumed in numerous research papers, but also on central switching frequency. Useful expressions to numerically calculate SFM boost converter conducted EMI spectrum and attenuation due to the use of triangular and sawtooth modulation waveforms are derived. Additionally experimental verification of the theoretical results is performed using a superheterodyne spectrum analyzer. Moreover a procedure for the choice of optimum SFM parameters (modulation waveform, frequency deviation and modulation frequency) to get maximum conducted EMI attenuation is proposed

    The effect of frequency modulation on a power switching converter electromagnetic interference (EMI) attenuation is examined in this paper. A method known as “modified sawtooth” is applied for EMI attenuation in a boost converter and it is optimized in such a way to reduce EMI more effectively. The method is also verified experimentally by the use of a low power boost converter controlled via an arbitrary waveform generator. EMI attenuation up to 15 dB is achieved after using modified sawtooth modulating waveform

    No full text
    Comprehensive theoretical analysis of the effect of switching frequency modulation (SFM) on input current of DC/DC switch-mode power converters (SMPC) operating in discontinuous conduction mode (DCM) is presented. Theoretical and SIMULINK simulation results are verified experimentally. Peak input and power components currents increase and low-frequency harmonics appear in the input current due to the use of SFM. Some considerations on the right choice of modulation parameters to reduce the negative effects considering also output voltage ripples and electromagnetic interference attenuation are proposed. The analysis performed can be very useful for a design of DC/DC SMPC with SFM in DCM

    Daži planāro spiraļspoļu (PS) labuma kritēriji ir piedāvāti un analizēti. Daži no tiem atrasti zinātniskās publikācijās un citus piedāvājam mēs. Lielāka daļa no šiem kritērijiem ir stipri atkarīga no ārēja diametra, tāpēc tie nedod mums iespēju analizēt citu parametru ietekmi uz PS kvalitāti. Ar nolūku novērst šo trūkumu, labuma kritērijs, vāji atkarīgs no ārēja diametra ir izvests. Šis kritērijs dod iespēju, piemēram, pielietot PS parametru mērogošanu
