The first goal of this paper is to show that an integrated circuit implementing a buck converter without a maximum duty cycle limitation, which is thus able to provide 100% duty cycle, can be safely used in a four-switches non-inverting buck-boost topology provided that the inductor current-limit is suitably implemented. The second goal is to experimentally verify that such inexpensive buck device can be used in non-inverting buck-boost converters where the efficiency degradation, due to a sub-optimal switching pattern, can be accepted. This 'enhancement' of an original buck integrated circuit to operate as a buck-boost is cost-competitive against dedicated buck-boost solutions. Theoretical analysis, numerical simulations and experimental results show the effectiveness of the design choices.

Abstract
The first goal of this paper is to show that an integrated circuit implementing a buck converter without a maximum duty cycle limitation, which is thus able to provide 100% duty cycle, can be safely used in a four-switches non-inverting buck-boost topology provided that the inductor current-limit is suitably implemented. The second goal is to experimentally verify that such inexpensive buck device can be used in non-inverting buck-boost converters where the efficiency degradation, due to a sub-optimal switching pattern, can be accepted. This 'enhancement' of an original buck integrated circuit to operate as a buck-boost is cost-competitive against dedicated buck-boost solutions. Theoretical analysis, numerical simulations and experimental results show the effectiveness of the design choices.File | Dimensione | Formato | |
