RT Journal Article T1 Theoretical Assessment of DC/DC Power Converters’ Basic Topologies. A Common Static Model A1 Enrique Gómez, Juan Manuel A1 Barragán Piña, Antonio Javier A1 Durán Aranda, Eladio A1 Andújar Márquez, Juan Carlos AB By the application of well-known circuit analysis techniques, this paper develops anintuitive approach to model the steady state regime of the three DC/DC power converters’ basictopologies (buck, boost and buck-boost). The developed approach can be considered new, realistic,accurate, general and practical. The approach is new because it is not present in the literature;realistic because it considers the main non-idealities of the different passive and active componentsthat make up the converters; accurate because its theoretical results fit properly to those obtainedin actual converters; general because it is valid for the three basic topologies; and practicalbecause its applicability is easy and immediate from the data sheets of the converters’ components(no measurements are needed). The developed model transforms a complex system with strongnon-idealities in the form of distributed parameters, in a simple and intuitive scheme of concentratedparameters (just three), which accurately reflects the actual behavior of the three basic converters’topologies. The characteristic parameters of the model and its main relationships are determinedanalytically. The quality of the developed approach has been tested in the paper and can beconsidered excellent.
