ADC-to-DC converteris anelectronic circuitwhich

converts a source ofdirect current(DC) from
onevoltagelevel to another.
Dc-Dc power converters are employed in a variety of
applications, including power supplies for personal
computers, office equipment, spacecraft power systems,
laptop computers, and telecommunications equipment, as
well as dc motor drives etc.

Problem:
In order to reduce the size and weight of switching
converters and increase power density, a high switching
frequency is required.
However, in hard-switching converters, as the switching
frequency increases,

Switching losses increases.

Stress on Switching device increases,
Thermal management must be required.

Hard Switching:
In conventional PWM SMPS, the switches turn-on to

full current from full voltage and turn-of to full

voltage from full current.
Such switching is referred as hard switching.

Solution:

Snubbers to reduce di/dt and dv/dt

Soft switching to achieve ZVS

and ZCS

Snubber Circuit:
Snubbersare energy-absorbingcircuits
used to suppress the voltage spikes caused
by thecircuit'sinductance when a switch,
(electrical or mechanical opens).
Snubber circuits were used in conventional
SMPS to reduce the switching losses.
Snubber circuits are effective, to a limited
extent, in reducing the device stress during
the switching transitions.
However, they do not reduce the
switching losses appreciably; they only shift
the power loss from the switches to the
snubber resistors.

Soft Switching Converters:

Resonant switching techniques reduce the switching losses to
practically zero; the switching frequency then may be increased
to hundreds of kHz to achieve higher power density.
The switching techniques in the resonant converter employ
zero voltage switching or zero current switching.
In zero current switching, the
device turns-on with zero current
and turns off after the current
drops to zero.
In zero voltage switching, the
switch turns-off at zero voltage
and turns-on after the device
voltage drops to zero.

FUTURE PLAN

It Is feasible to implement the live project and also

able to compare the results of the proposed boost
converter with the remaining reference boost
converters.
