The Engineering Design Process

1. Specifications and other design goals are defined.2. A circuit is proposed. This is a creative process that draws on the

physical insight and experience of the engineer.3. The circuit is modeled. The converter power stage is modeled as

described in Chapter 7. Components and other portions of the systemare modeled as appropriate, often with vendor-supplied data.

4. Design-oriented analysis of the circuit is performed. This involvesdevelopment of equations that allow element values to be chosen suchthat specifications and design goals are met. In addition, it may benecessary for the engineer to gain additional understanding andphysical insight into the circuit behavior, so that the design can beimproved by adding elements to the circuit or by changing circuitconnections.

5. Model verification. Predictions of the model are compared to alaboratory prototype, under nominal operating conditions. The model isrefined as necessary, so that the model predictions agree withlaboratory measurements.

Fundamentals of Power Electronics Chapter 8: Converter Transfer Functions4

Design Process

6. Worst-case analysis (or other reliability and production yieldanalysis) of the circuit is performed. This involves quantitativeevaluation of the model performance, to judge whetherspecifications are met under all conditions. Computersimulation is well-suited to this task.

7. Iteration. The above steps are repeated to improve the designuntil the worst-case behavior meets specifications, or until thereliability and production yield are acceptably high.

Design-oriented analysis

How to approach a real (and hence, complicated) systemProblems:

Complicated derivationsLong equationsAlgebra mistakes

Design objectives:Obtain physical insight which leads engineer to synthesis of a good designObtain simple equations that can be inverted, so that element values can

be chosen to obtain desired behavior. Equations that cannot be invertedare useless for design!

Design-oriented analysis is a structured approach to analysis, which attempts toavoid the above problems

Fundamentals of Power Electronics Chapter 8: Converter Transfer Functions8

Some elements of design-oriented analysis,discussed in this chapter

• Writing transfer functions in normalized form, to directly expose salientfeatures

• Obtaining simple analytical expressions for asymptotes, cornerfrequencies, and other salient features, allows element values to beselected such that a given desired behavior is obtained

• Use of inverted poles and zeroes, to refer transfer function gains to themost important asymptote

• Analytical approximation of roots of high-order polynomials• Graphical construction of Bode plots of transfer functions and

polynomials, toavoid algebra mistakesapproximate transfer functionsobtain insight into origins of salient features

8.1.5. Combinations

Suppose that we have constructed the Bode diagrams of twocomplex-values functions of frequency, G1(!) and G2(!). It is desiredto construct the Bode diagram of the product, G3(!) = G1(!) G2(!).

Express the complex-valued functions in polar form:G1(t) = R1(t) e je1(t)

G2(t) = R2(t) e je2(t)

G3(t) = R3(t) e je3(t)

The product G3(!) can then be writtenG3(t) = G1(t) G2(t) = R1(t) e je1(t) R2(t) e je2(t)

G3(t) = R1(t) R2(t) e j(e1(t) + e2(t))

Fundamentals of Power Electronics Chapter 8: Converter Transfer Functions32

Combinations

G3(t) = R1(t) R2(t) e j(e1(t) + e2(t))

The composite phase ise3(t) = e1(t) + e2(t)

The composite magnitude is

R3(t) = R1(t) R2(t)

Composite phase is sum of individual phases.Composite magnitude, when expressed in dB, is sum of individual

Second-order denominator, ofthe form

G(s) = 11 + a1s + a2s2

with a1 = L/R and a2 = LC

How should we construct the Bode diagram?

Fundamentals of Power Electronics Chapter 8: Converter Transfer Functions38

Approach 1: factor denominator

G(s) = 11 + a1s + a2s2

We might factor the denominator using the quadratic formula, thenconstruct Bode diagram as the combination of two real poles:

G(s) = 11 – s

• If 4a2 ! a12, then the roots s1 and s2 are real. We can construct Bode

diagram as the combination of two real poles.• If 4a2 > a1

2, then the roots are complex. In Section 8.1.1, theassumption was made that !0 is real; hence, the results of thatsection cannot be applied and we need to do some additional work.

• The parameters !, "0, and Q are found by equating the coefficients of s• The parameter "0 is the angular corner frequency, and we can define f0

• The parameter ! is called the damping factor. ! controls the shape of theexact curve in the vicinity of f = f0. The roots are complex when ! < 1.

• In the alternative form, the parameter Q is called the quality factor. Qalso controls the shape of the exact curve in the vicinity of f = f0. Theroots are complex when Q > 0.5.

Fundamentals of Power Electronics Chapter 8: Converter Transfer Functions40

The Q-factor

Q = 12c

In a second-order system, ! and Q are related according to

Q is a measure of the dissipation in the system. A more generaldefinition of Q, for sinusoidal excitation of a passive element or systemis

Q = 2/ (peak stored energy)(energy dissipated per cycle)

For a second-order passive system, the two equations above areequivalent. We will see that Q has a simple interpretation in the Bodediagrams of second-order transfer functions.

284 Converter Transfer Functions

At high frequencies where (ω/ω0) > 1, the (ω/ω0)4 term

dominates the expression inside the radical of Eq. (8.62).Hence, the high-frequency asymptote is

(8.64)

This expression coincides with Eq. (8.5), with n = – 2.Therefore, the high-frequency asymptote has slope –40 dB/decade. The asymptotes intersect at f = f0, and are indepen-dent of Q.

The parameter Q affects the deviation of the actualcurve from the asymptotes, in the neighborhood of the cor-ner frequency f0. The exact magnitude at f = f0 is found by substitution of ω = ω0 into Eq. (8.62):

(8.65)

So the exact transfer function has magnitude Q at the corner frequency f0. In decibels, Eq. (8.65) is

(8.66)

So if, for example, Q = 2 ⇒ 6 dB, then the actual curve deviates from the asymptotes by 6 dB at the cor-ner frequency f = f0. Salient features of the magnitude Bode plot of the second-order transfer function aresummarized in Fig. 8.20.

The phase of G is

(8.67)

The phase tends to 0˚ at low frequency, and to –180˚ at high frequency. At f = f0, the phase is –90˚. Asillustrated in Fig. 8.21, increasing the value of Q causes a sharper phase change between the 0˚ and–180˚ asymptotes.

vicinity of the corner frequency f0, as illustrated in Fig. 8.22. As in the case of the real single pole, wecould choose the slope of this asymptote to be identical to the slope of the actual curve at f = f0. It can beshown that this choice leads to the following asymptote break frequencies:

(8.68)

A better choice, which is consistent with the approximation (8.28) used for the real single pole, is

(8.69)

With this choice, the midfrequency asymptote has slope –180Q degrees per decade. The phase asymp-totes are summarized in Fig. 8.23. With Q = 0.5, the phase changes from 0˚ to –180˚ over a frequencyspan of approximately two decades, centered at the corner frequency f0. Increasing the Q causes this fre-quency span to decrease rapidly.

Second-order response magnitude and phase curves are plotted in Figs. 8.24 and 8.25.
