Proportional Integral Derivative (PID) controller is the most widely used controller in the industries because of its simplicity and robustness. Different types of tuning are proposed for PID controllers[1]- [4]. This paper proposes a new technology, which utilizes the duty cycle signal to improve the light load efficiency with simple implementation. In this paper Ziegler-Nichols tuned PID scheme is developed for DC-DC converters where large load changes are expected or the need for fast response time[9]. The Ziegler-Nichols rule developed in this paper is used for tuning discrete PID controller to obtain its parameters with a minimum computing complexity and is applied to Half Bridge DC-DC converter to improve its performance. The transient response and settling time of the converter is improved and it is compared with the Ziegler-Nichols based PI controller
