Abstract

Since the capacitor current can reflect load variations faster than the peak inductor current, incorporating the capacitor current into control loops helps to improve the transient response of the dc-dc converter. In this paper, a coupled inductor single input dual output (CI-SIDO) buck converter is investigated under capacitor current ripple (CCR) control. A precise small-signal model for a CCR-controlled CI-SIDO buck converter operating in continuous conduction mode (CCM) is developed. The accurate small-signal model is obtained by substituting the derived CCR controller expressions in the CI-SIDO buck converter state-space model. The CCR controller equations specify the duty ratios as functions of the circuit variables namely the capacitor currents and the output voltages. It is observed that the CI-SIDO buck converter with the CCR controller exhibits instability when both or either of the duty ratios are greater than 0.7 or their sum is greater than 1. The results of the PLECS STANDALONE simulation validate the theoretical propositions as regards the switching instability of the controlled converter.
