Abstract

In this work, the design and development of a DC -DC Converter using a two stage buck–boost operation is discussed. This converter is suitable for low power application such as a matrix LED lighting system. The advantage of this converter is that instead of using two controlled switches as in case of a conventional converter, this circuit uses one MOSFET as a switch. The circuit uses two inductors and two capacitors as energy transferring elements that are able to provide a good quality, high efficiency power supply to the load. In this paper the design of TSBB converter is analyzed with closed loop control using a PI controller circuit . Even with smaller values of inductor and capacitor a highly efficient power supply can be made. The main feature of this circuit compared to the other circuits proposed is, comparing with the circuits designed previously with the same concept is that, in this work a galvanic isolation between the load and the source is provided. Thus by a suitable controller and galvanic isolation the ripple magnitude in the output is reduced considerably. A simulation model of the TSBB converter with results is presented
