Week 12 Assignment Solutions


Q1. A boost converter is controlled at output voltage 25V. The Input has 20% tolerance around nominal
value of 15V. What is the percentage swing in the duty ratio? ((d_max-d_min)/d_nom)100% = ?)

Ans:- 60% . (58-62)

Sol:- d_max = 0.52, d_min = 0.28, d_nom = 0.4

Q2. A buck converter is controlled by current – mode control and charging a battery. The battery voltage
is fixed at 12V. The slope of the slope compensation is chosen to be half of the inductor current slope
during switch off. The average inductor current is 5A while input is 20V. Now the input changes to 24V.
What will be the average inductor current now?

Hint- Slope of the inductor current during switch turn off will be same in both case.

Ans:- 5A (4.8-5.2)

Sol:- Since the slope of the inductor current during turn off will be same in both condition and inductor
will reach the peak at the end of switch turn on time. Avg inductor current will be same in both case.

Q3. In a close loop system, the high gain of the proportional controller can cause:

a. Increased error at controller output.


b. Decreased error at controller output.
c. Less noise mixing up with actual signal.
d. More noise mixing up with actual signal.
e. Improvement in the transient response of the system.
f. Improvement in the steady state response of the system.

Ans: b, d, e

Q4. In a close loop control system, the integrator part of the controller can perform:

a. High frequency noise cancellation.


b. Low frequency noise cancellation.
c. Zero steady state error.
d. Improved transient response.
e. Control of the speed of the response.

Ans: a, c, e
Q5. Which of the following is/are possible Bode plot for the PI controller structured as (Kp + Ki/s):
Note: Kp>0, ki >0

(a)

(b)

(c)

(d)

(e)
Ans: b, e
Q6: Slope compensation is not required for this inductor current waveform

A) True

C) False

Ans: a,

Q7: Calculate the value of slope compensation capacitor (Cs) in uF used in the current controlled circuit
when inductor current waveform has a slope of 0.5A/usec during Toff. Constant current used to charge
up compensation capacitor (Cs) is equal to 1A.

Note: Slope compensated is considered equal to inductor current waveform slope(during Toff). (Slope
unit to be regarded as V/usec (in case of capacitor (Cs)) for A/usec (in case of inductor current))

Ans: 2(1.8 to 2.2)

Solu: Iconstant= 1A

dv/dt = Iconstant/Cs = 0.5 V/usec

Cs = 1/0.5 = 2uF

Q8: A carrier wave of frequency 1kHz is compared with reference wave of +2V as shown below.
Calculate the duty cycle(d = Ton/Ts) of the output waveform for the following logic

Note: Output = 1 if reference wave > carrier wave means Ton period, else 0

Ans:0.7(0.65 to 0.75)

Solu: Ton duration = (2/5)*Ts/4 + (2/5)*Ts/4 + Ts/4 + Ts/4 = (7/10)*Ts, Ton/Ts = 0.7
Q9. For the converter given in figure, Q1 & Q4 are kept ON for 20ms and Q2 & Q3 are kept ON for 20ms.
The resultant voltage waveform across A and B is

A)

B)

C)

D)
E)

Ans: C

Q10. Referring to question 9, the switching frequency of the transistor Q2 is ____ Hz.

Ans: 50 (Range: 49 to 51)

Solution:

Q2 switches (from ON to OFF or OFF to ON) every 20ms

Therefore, Fsw = 1/20ms = 50Hz
