Abstract

Switched-capacitor (SC) converter is a type of variable structure systems. SC converters are typically equipped with open-loop control or some linear feedback control methods. However, these approaches provide slow dynamic response speed, small operation region, and large voltage ripple. Some new nonlinear control methods have been proposed in the literature to overcome these barriers. However, such control methods are usually proposed for applications involving low-power SC converters due to the limitations of them. This paper presents a nonlinear constant on-time variable frequency one-cycle control (CVFOCC) strategy based on dynamic capacitor ampere-second balance transient calculation (CASBTC) modeling method and one-cycle control (OCC) technique for high-power SC converters. This method successfully addresses the regulation issue of high-power SC converters. A high-power 3X Two-switch Boosting Switched-Capacitor converter (TBSC) is employed as an example topology. Simulation and experimental results both demonstrate that CVFOCC method could significantly improve the dynamic response speed and achieve excellent line and load regulation for the high-power SC converter in wide operation range.
