A fast transient capacitor-less low-dropout regulator is presented in this study. The proposed LDO structure is based on Output Voltage Spike Reduction (OVSR) circuits and capacitance compensation circuits to enable a fast-transient response with ultra-low power dissipation and to make the LDO stable for a wide range of output load currents (0–50[Formula: see text]mA). The slew rate is improved with more slew current from the OVSR circuit and unity gain bandwidth is improved by a capacitor multiplayer circuit. The proposed LDO has been simulated with a standard 0.18[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]m CMOS process. The output voltage of the LDO was set to 1.2[Formula: see text]V for an input voltage of 1.4–2[Formula: see text]V. The Simulation results verify that the transient times are less than 2.8[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]s and the maximum undershoot and overshoot are 20[Formula: see text]mV while consuming only 26[Formula: see text][Formula: see text]A quiescent current. The proposed LDO is stable with an on-chip capacitor at the output node within the wide range of 1100[Formula: see text]PF.

In order to realize emission-free solutions and clean transportation alternatives, this paper presents a new DC converter with pulse frequency control for a battery charger in electric vehicles (EVs) or light electric vehicles (LEVs). The circuit configuration includes a resonant tank on the high-voltage side and two variable winding sets on the output side to achieve wide output voltage operation for a universal LEV battery charger. The input terminal of the presented converter is a from DC microgrid with voltage levels of 380, 760, or 1500 V for house, industry plant, or DC transportation vehicle demands, respectively. To reduce voltage stresses on active devices, a cascade circuit structure with less voltage rating on power semiconductors is used on the primary side. Two resonant capacitors were selected on the resonant tank, not only to achieve the two input voltage balance problem but also to realize the resonant operation to control load voltage. By using the variable switching frequency approach to regulate load voltage, active switches are turned on with soft switching operation to improve converter efficiency. In order to achieve wide output voltage capability for universal battery charger demands such as scooters, electric motorbikes, Li-ion e-trikes, golf carts, luxury golf cars, and quad applications, two variable winding sets were selected to have a wide voltage output (50~160 V). Finally, experiments with a 1 kW rated prototype were demonstrated to validate the performance and benefits of presented converter.

AbstractDeveloping of new photovoltaic inverter topologies is received more attention in the last few years. In particular, designing an active neutral-point-clamping inverter type structure is quite popular for PV applications. The output voltage is always half of the input voltage (vin), which further increases the voltage rating of dc-link capacitors in the conventional three-level ANPC. To rectify the above problem and increase the output voltage by reducing dc-link capacitors voltage rating, a new boost type seven-level ANPC inverter topology is proposed. The proposed topology consists of seven switches and one floating capacitor. The floating capacitor voltage is self-balanced, and the output voltage is 1.5 times higher than the input voltage. A detailed comparison for some power components, power loss and cost with other existing topologies are presented. Further, the proposed topology is validated in a prototype hardware setup for different load values.

<span lang="EN-US">This paper deals with voltage tracking control of DC- DC boost converter based on Fuzzy neural network. Maintaining the output voltage of the boost converter in some applications are very important, especially for sudden change in the load or disturbance in the input voltage. Traditional control methods usually have some disadvantages in eliminating these disturbances, as the speed of response to these changes is slow and thus affect the regularity of the output voltage of the converter. The strategy is to sense the output voltage across the load and compare it with the reference voltage to ensure that it follows the required reference voltages. In this research, fuzzy neural was introduced to achieve the purpose of voltage tracking by training the parameter of controller based on previous data. These data sets are the sensing input voltage of the converter and the value of the output load changes. To establish the performance of proposed method, MATLAB/SIMULINK environments are presented, simulation results shows that proposed method works more precisely, faster in response and elimination the disturbances</span>

DC-DC converters are playing an important role in designing of Electric Vehicles, integration of solar cells and other DC applications. Contemporary high power applications use multilevel converters that have multi stage outputs for integrating low voltage sources. Conventional DC-DC converters use single source and have complex structure while using for Hybrid Energy Systems. This paper proposes a multi-input, multi-output DC-DC converter to produce constant output voltage at different input voltage conditions. This topology is best suitable for hybrid power systems where the output voltage is variable due to environmental conditions. It reduces the requirement of magnetic components in the circuit and also reduces the switching losses. The proposed topology has two parts namely multi-input boost converter and level-balancing circuit. Boost converter increases the input voltage and Level Balancing Circuit produce Multi output. Equal values of capacitors are used in Level Balancing Circuit to ensure the constant output voltage at all output stages. The operating modes of each part are given and the design parameters of each part are calculated. Performance of the proposed topology is verified using MATLAB/Simulink simulation which shows the correctness of the analytical approach.
