| Abstract |
Modified Dither converter is a Buck-Boost type Single-Stage converter. the converter has an advantage over some other type of Single-Stage converters, like the BIFRED and BIBRED, since it does not suffer from a particularly high steady state bulk capacitor voltage, until at very low loads. This feature allows the output part of the converter to be designed to operate in the continuous conduction mode over a wide range of loads. However, the advantage is gained at a price of a little bit complicated circuit structure, which includes a tapped transformer. This paper presents a detailed analysis of the steady state operation of the circuit. Equations to determine the steady state voltages and currents in the circuit are provided. The analysis is verified with simulated results from a 150 W modeified Dither converter. |
