Science Daily  April 19, 2024 An internal team of researchers (Japan, Taiwan) proposed a floating four-phase interleaved chargepump bidirectional dc-dc converter (F4P-ICPBDC) with wide Buck/Boost voltage ratio. The interleaved structure was used to mitigate the current ripple across the low-voltage side capacitor and inductors, while the floating configuration facilitated the high Buck/Boost voltage conversion ratio. To ensure a balanced average inductor current throughout the entire range of duty cycle, an asymmetric duty limit control strategy was implemented. Bidirectional synchronous rectification operations were seamlessly carried out without the need for additional hardware, which enhanced the overall converter efficiency. They developed a […]
