 Abstract   Random switching schemes for power conversion are expected to reduce annoying electromagnetic interference and acoustic noise caused by switching. This is achieved by spreading the spectrum of the switching waveforms in different random schemes reported in the literature and as a result the output characteristics of the converter are altered differently. A comparative study of random pulse width modulated schemes for DC-DC power converter is presented in this paper. The spectral performance of four random schemes for the DC-DC power conversion is studied and their relative merits and demerits are highlighted. A method to reduce the average switching frequency of the random schemes without significantly affecting the output characteristics of the converter is also proposed. The random schemes discussed as well as the proposed schemes are implemented using a laboratory setup with a buck converter driven by the DSP TMS320C240 and the experimental results are presented comparing the performance of different schemes.
