Three basic types of dc-dc converter circuits − buck, boost and buck-boost



The expressions for the output voltage in the above circuits, with inductive (R-L) and battery
(or back emf = E) load

Introduction
In the last module (#2) consisting of eight lessons, the various types of circuits used in both single-phase and three-phase ac-dc converters, were discussed in detail. This includes half-wave and full-wave, and also half-controlled and full-controlled ones.
In this lesson − the first one in this module (#3), firstly, three basic types of dc-dc converter circuits − buck, boost and buck-boost, are presented. Then, the expressions for the output voltage in the above circuits, with inductive (R-L) and battery (or back emf = E), i.e., R-L-E, load, are derived, assuming continuous conduction. The different control strategies employed are briefly described. Keywords: DC-DC converter circuits, Thyristor choppers, Buck, boost and buck-boost converters (dc-dc), Step-down (buck) and step-up (boost) choppers, Output voltage and current.

DC-DC Converters
There are three basic types of dc-dc converter circuits, termed as buck, boost and buck-boost.
In all of these circuits, a power device is used as a switch. This device earlier used was a thyristor, which is turned on by a pulse fed at its gate. In all these circuits, the thyristor is connected in series with load to a dc supply, or a positive (forward) voltage is applied between anode and cathode terminals. The thyristor turns off, when the current decreases below the holding current, or a reverse (negative) voltage is applied between anode and cathode terminals.
So, a thyristor is to be force-commutated, for which additional circuit is to be used, where another thyristor is often used. Later,

    A thyristor is a solid-state semiconductor device with four layers of alternating N and P-type material. The thyristor or Silicon Controlled Rectifier (SCR) was proposed by William Shockley in 1950 and supported by Bell Laboratories, formerly known as AT&T Bell Laboratories. It was developed in 1956 by power engineers at General Electric (G.E.) led by Gordon Hall and commercialized by G.E. 's Frank W. "Bill" Gutzwiller (1). There are various types of thyristors; the type primarily depends on the number of layers and the particular connections to the layers. The word thyristor is a combination of the words “thyratron” and “transistor” (7).…

    Gate Turn Off Thyristor

    • 767 Words
    • 4 Pages

    A thyristor starts to conduct when the voltage across the anode and cathode (VAK) is increased beyond the thyristors breakdown voltage (VBO). This is due to the avalanche breakdown that occurs in the second junction of the thyristor. When a gate voltage is applied at the gate terminal, the avalanche breakdown in the second junction of the thyristor occurs at lower values of VAK. Thus, thyristors can be switched suddenly by applying the suitable value for the gate voltage. Voltage pulses can be used as gate triggering voltage at the gate terminal.…
