A New Approach of Simple Predictive Control Scheme in High Frequency Gate Driver Design

Predictive deadtime is a control scheme that applies in the gate driver to overcome the problem that relates with the dead time delay. This control scheme uses the prediction concept based on the feedback from the circuit to predict the next switching cycle of a gate driver. The expected outcom...

Description
Summary:Predictive deadtime is a control scheme that applies in the gate driver to overcome the problem that relates with the dead time delay. This control scheme uses the prediction concept based on the feedback from the circuit to predict the next switching cycle of a gate driver. The expected outcome from this project is an increase in efficiency of the converter. This paper basically discusses about the analysis of the predictive controller in converter’s performance. Having a controlled deadtime, converter’s efficiency has shown improvement compared to conventional technique. Nevertheless, the project work mainly concentrates on reference voltage, Vref variations of comparator input. The details are discussed thoroughly that include limitations and advantages in the design of the controller.
