  • Abstract
    Authors has proposed a new method to decrease high-frequency noise at specific frequency band with modification of switching transient slope. In this paper, new voltage feedback type VDS controller (gate driver) has proposed to realize modified switching transient to increase stability. In the step-down converter applied propose VDS controller, harmonics reduction effect is obtained about 10 dB in AM radio band. Then, output voltage and switching loss characteristics was measured on the step-down converter applied proposed method. It is verified that these characteristics are same to conventional converter. In addition, the proposed method was applied to H-bridge step-down converter for DC motor drive application. It is verified that MT-PWM is able to realize in H-bridge step-down converter without any major modification through simulations.
