Abstract
The bidirectional buck-boost current-fed isolated dc-dc converter (B3CFIdc) has the advantages of low current stress, high efficiency, and wide power/voltage conversion range. The linear models of buck mode and boost mode of B3CFIdc are originally derived using state-space averaging method. The dual-closed-loop control configuration with the inductor current and output voltage is designed. In order to ensure the stability of both operation modes at the same time, the parameters of the controllers are designed using the method of Hurwitz criterion plus frequency response. The asymptotic stability of the operating conditions with periodic switching between the two modes caused by the periodic fluctuation of input voltage is verified using the linear switching theory. The detailed experimental results verify the correctness of the built small-signal models and the feasibility of the designed closed-loop control configuration and the design rule of the controller parameters.
