Abstract :
Theoretical and experimental considerations for a novel four-quadrant PWM (pulse-width-modulated) switched-mode DC-DC power converter are discussed. Computer simulations lead to an optimum switching frequency, which minimizes the size of the circuit inductors while maintaining a high unit efficiency. In this basis, a 40 kHz, 1.7 kW, 28 V battery-supplied converter was designed and constructed, using MOS-gated BIMOS switches to achieve high-power, high-frequency operation
