In this paper, a nonlinear least squares optimization method is employed to optimize the performance of pole-zero-cancellation (PZC)-based digital controllers applied to a switching converter. An extensively used step-down converter operating at 1000 kHz is considered as a plant. In the PZC technique, the adverse effect of the (unwanted) poles of the buck converter power stage is diminished by the complex or real zeros of the compensator. Various combinations of the placement of the compensator zeros and poles can be considered. The compensator zeros and poles are nominally/roughly placed while attempting to cancel the converter poles. Although PZC techniques exhibit satisfactory performance to some extent, there is still room for improvement of the controller performance by readjusting its poles and zeros. The (nominal) digital controller coefficients thus obtained through PZC techniques are retuned intelligently through a nonlinear least squares (NLS) method using the Levenberg-Marquardt (LM) algorithm to ameliorate the static and dynamic performance while minimizing the sum of squares of the error in a quicker way. Effects of nonlinear components such as delay, ADC/DAC quantization error, and so forth contained in the digital control loop on performance and loop stability are also investigated. In order to validate the effectiveness of the optimized PZC techniques and show their supremacy over the traditional PZC techniques and the ones optimized by genetic algorithms (GAs), simulation results based on a MATLAB/Simulink environment are provided. For experimental validation, rapid hardware-in-the-loop (HiL) implementation of the compensated buck converter system is also performed.

Abstract Small-signal transmittances: input-to-output and control-to-output of BUCK converter power stage working in CCM or DCM mode are discussed. Ideal converter case and converter with parasitic resistances are considered separately. Derivations of small-signal transmittances, based on different approaches to finding the converter averaged models, are presented and the results are compared. Apart from theoretical considerations, some results of numerical calculations are presented.

Recently current effects on clean and metal adsorbate surfaces have attracted much attention not only because of interesting phenomena but also because of practically importance in treatingclean and metal adsorbate surfaces [1-6]. In the former case, metals deposited migrate on the deposit depending on the current direction and a patch of the deposit expands on the clean surface [1]. The migration is closely related to the adsorbate structures and substrate structures including their anisotropy [2,7]. In the latter case, configurations of surface atomic steps depends on the current direction. In the case of Si(001) surface equally spaced array of monatom high steps along the [110] direction produces the 2x1 and 1x2 terraces. However, a relative terrace width of the two domain depends on the current direction; a step-up current widen terraces on which dimers are parallel to the current, while a step-down current widen the other terraces [3]. On (111) surface, a step-down current produces step bunching at temperatures between 1250-1350°C, while a step-up current produces step bunching at temperatures between 1050-1250°C [5].In the present paper, our REM observations on a current induced step bunching, started independently, are described.Our results are summarized as follows.(1) Above around 1000°C a step-up current induces step bunching. The phenomenon reverses around 1200 C; a step-down current induces step bunching. The observations agree with the previous reports [5].

Abstract. We hypothesized that in healthy subjects differences in resting heart rate variability (rHRV) would be associated with differences in emotional reactivity within the medial visceromotor network (MVN). We also probed whether this MVN-rHRV relationship was diminished in depression. Eleven healthy adults and nine depressed subjects performed the emotional counting stroop task in alternating blocks of emotion and neutral words during functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI). The correlation between rHRV outside the scanner and BOLD signal reactivity (absolute value of change between adjacent blocks in the BOLD signal) was examined in specific MVN regions. Significant negative correlations were observed between rHRV and average BOLD shift magnitude (BSM) in several MVN regions in healthy subjects but not depressed subjects. This preliminary report provides novel evidence relating emotional reactivity in MVN regions to rHRV. It also provides preliminary suggestive evidence that depression may involve reduced interaction between the MVN and cardiac vagal control.
