This paper presents a multi output converter system that controls, simultaneously and independently, the separate Buck converter and Boost converter with the different specification by one DSP digital controller. As two separate converters are regulated by only one DSP, it is possible to achieve the simple digital control circuit for regulating multi output DC-DC converter. By setting the software switch state, PI and Fuzzy controller can be applied as a controller for each converter without any change of hardware. Also, it is included the control characteristics comparison between PI and Fuzzy controller. The control characteristics of each PWM DC-DC converter is validated by experimental results.

In many application of DC-DC converters, loads cannot be specified in advance, i.e., their amplitudes are suddenly changed from the zero to the maximum rating. Generally, design conditions are changed for each load and then each controller is re-designed. Then, a so-called robust DC-DC converter which can cover such extensive load changes and also input voltage changes with one controller is needed. Analog control IC is used usually for the controller of DC-DC converter. Simple integral control etc. are performed with the analog control IC. However it is difficult to retain sufficient robustness of DC-DC converter by these techniques. The authors proposed the method of designing an approximate 2-degree-of-freedom (2DOF) controller of DC-AC converter. This controller has an ability to attain sufficient robustness against extensive load and DC power supply changes. For applying this approximate 2DOF controller to DC-DC converter, it is necessary to improve the degree of approximation for better robustness. In this paper, we propose a method of designing good approximate 2DOF digital controller which makes the control bandwidth wider, and at the same time makes a variation of the output voltage very small at a sudden change of resistive load. The proposed good approximate 2DOF digital controller is actually implemented on a DSP and is connected to a DC-DC converter. Experimental studies demonstrate that this type digital controller can satisfy given specifications.

Robust DC-DC converter which can cover extensive load changes and also input voltage changes with one controller is needed. In this paper, we propose a method for determining the parameters of 2DOF digital controller which makes the control bandwidth wider, and at the same time makes a variation of the output voltage very small at sudden changes of resistive load and the input voltage. The 2DOF digital controller whose parameters are determined by the proposed method is actually implemented on a DSP and is connected to a DC-DC converter. Experimental studies demonstrate that this type of digital controller can satisfy given specifications.

This paper presents a one digital controller two topology PWM DC-DC converter that controls, simultaneously, the separate Buck converter and boost converter with the different specification by using an inexpensive and efficient 8 bit micro-controller. One timer interrupt is used for the detection of output feedback voltage, and other two timer interrupts are used for the generation of PWM waveform for Buck and Boost converter. The control characteristics of one digital controller two topology PWM DC-DC converter is validated by experimental results.

Because the digital control includes microprocessor different from an analog control, the digital control enables to monitor internal parameters of DC-DC converter and to control output voltage remotely by communicating with a Window based PC and also to monitor whether exact voltage is output or not. These things are impossible in an analog control. In this paper, a simple buck converter controlled by DSP is implemented. This converter outputs 0V to 5V from 15V input voltage and is controlled by a PD algorithm using DSP(TMS320C31). Finally the response characteristics of a step reference voltage and a digital controlled converter are analyzed to verify the usefulness of this converter.

This paper proposes a new power conditioning system for the fuel cell power generation, which consists of a ZVS DC-DC converter and 3-phase inverter. The ZVS DC-DC converter with a digital controller boosts the fuel cell voltage of 26-50V up to 400V, and the grid-tie inverter controls the active power delivered to the grid. The operation of proposed power conditioning system was verified through simulations with PSCAD/EMTDC software. The feasibility of hardware implementation was verified through experimental works with a laboratory prototype, which was built with 1.2kW PEM fuel-cell stack, 1kW DC-DC converter, and 3kW PWM inverter. The proposed system can be utilized to commercialize an interconnection system for the fuel-cell power generation.
