ECE 4501 10.0 Power Systems Laboratory Manual Rev 1.0 DC/DC SWITCHING CONVERTERS (LAB 7) 10.1 DC/DC STEP-DOWN POWER SUPPLY 10.1.0 PRE-LAB DESIGN It is desired to design and build a simple Firing Control Circuit for a Pulse-Width Modulation (PWM) Chopper. The circuit will consist of three modules as shown below: FIGURE 10-1 Build the following modules on a prototype board for use in Lab 10. Make sure that all Vcc and Ground connections come from a common rail. Clock Module: Use a 555 Timer, resistors and capacitors to construct an Astable Multivibrator, which oscillates at or around 16000 Hz. You may substitute any oscillator circuit of your choice, as long as it can be adjusted easily to run at 600 and 16000 Hz. MOD-16 Counter: Connect a 74LS169 chip to up-count by modulo-16 (0000 – 1111). Use the output of the Clock Module as the clock input. Bias the U/D’, Load’, etc, Pins to produce a standard up-count. Again, any chip will do, as long as it counts N*MOD-8, where N can be 1, 2, 3, etc. Combinational Circuit: Design a combinational circuit which uses the 4 outputs of the MOD-16 counter (or 3 outputs of a MOD-8 counter, etc) as inputs and creates the following output signals: - 1- ECE 4501 Power Systems Laboratory Manual Q3,Q2,Q1,Q0 0000 0001 0010 0011 0100 0101 0110 0111 1000 1001 1010 1011 1100 1101 1110 1111 Output A: 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Output B: 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Output C: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 Rev 1.0 Output D: 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 0 0 0 0 Each of the four output signals will represent a different Duty Cycle, . For example, Output A is Logic 1 for 1/8 of the modulation period and thus = 0.125. Output C is Logic 1 for ½ the period and = 0.5. You may use TTL chips or any other, so long as they will work with Vcc = 5 Volts. Test the circuit to ensure proper function and bring it to lab at your designated time. Only ONE circuit per lab group is necessary. 10.1.1 OBJECTIVE To gain insight into the components that make up a switching power supply and study methods of building them. 10.1.2 DISCUSSION In Lab 9, a Buck Chopper was used to vary the speed of a DC Motor. In essence, the One-Quadrant Buck Chopper can be considered a crude step-down (bucking) power supply. The output voltage of the chopper is a square-wave and the output current is saw-toothed. The noisy output of the chopper was acceptable in Lab 9 where the connected load was a DC Motor with an inherently long time constant. However, in general, power supplies must possess certain features to make them safe and useful: Anti-Reverse: This feature minimizes the harmful effects of applying the wrong polarity to the load. A simple anti-reverse mechanism is a power diode in main line of the power supply to prevent reverse current. Overcurrent Protection: Disconnects the power supply from its source if output current exceeds a safe level. A fuse can provide protection from overcurrent. - 2- ECE 4501 Power Systems Laboratory Manual Rev 1.0 Output Filtering: To minimize the voltage “ripple” seen by the load. In a chopper circuit, a series inductor and shunt capacitor placed between the MOSFET switch and the load can provide effective filtering when properly sized. Voltage Regulation: To increase both the accuracy and precision of the output voltage, closed-loop control is added. Both voltage feedback and current feedback schemes are used in industry. Either scheme can be complicated. The basic Buck Chopper circuit is shown below: FIGURE 10-2 In the circuit shown in Figure 10-2 above, the source voltage, Vs, is “chopped” to produce an average voltage somewhere between 0% and 100% of Vs. Thus the average value of the voltage applied to the Load, V L, is controlled by closing and opening the “switch”, Q1. To close the switch, a firing signal is delivered to the gate of the MOSFET, causing it to conduct between source and drain. To open the switch, the firing signal is removed and the MOSFET is self-biased to stop conducting. In PWM, the switch is closed and opened every modulation period. The series inductor and shunt capacitor in the above circuit work to limit the rate of change in current and voltage respectively. The result is smoother waveforms during chopping. For proper ON-OFF switching, the gate of the MOSFET must be biased with respect to its source terminal. A P-Channel MOSFET will start to conduct from source to drain when the gate terminal is biased negatively relative to the source terminal. When the voltage at the gate with respect to the source (Vgs) is about –5 Volts, the MOSFET will be “ON” and will conduct between source and drain with Rds of approximately 0.5 Ohms. Most MOSFETS cannot withstand a Vgs voltage of greater than +/- 20 Volts. The biasing circuit for the gate must therefore be able to apply a Vgs voltage of 0 Volts (or greater) when it is desired that the MOSFET be OFF, and a Vgs of –5 to –15 volts - 3- ECE 4501 Power Systems Laboratory Manual Rev 1.0 when the ON condition is desired. A typical biasing circuit for a P-Channel MOSFET is shown below: FIGURE 10-3 10.1.3 INSTRUMENTATION Power Supply Module DC Metering Module Smoothing Inductor Module Resistance Module Capacitance Module Power Diode Module Chopper Circuit Board Oscilloscope Firing Circuit 10.1.4 PROCEDURE 1) Connect the following circuit: - 4- EMS 8821 EMS 8412 EMS 8325 EMS 8311 EMS 8331 EMS 8842 -NA-NA-NA- ECE 4501 Power Systems Laboratory Manual FIGURE 10-4 2) Select the following equipment settings: Oscilloscope Option Chan. 1 Sensitivity: Vertical Mode: Display Mode: Time Base: Trigger Source: Trigger Slope: Trigger Coupling: Lab-Volt Voltage Selector Knob (EMS 8821) - 5- Setting 5 V / Div.

External Positive (+) HF Rejection 7-N Rev 1.0 ECE 4501 Power Systems Laboratory Manual Rev 1.0 3) Select Firing Control Signal A as input to the Chopper Circuit Board and as trigger signal for the Oscilloscope. 4) Make sure that the voltage control is turned fully counterclockwise and turn on the Power Supply. Turn on the Oscilloscope. 5) Slowly turn the voltage control clockwise until the voltage output 7-N is 20 Volts (about 15%). 6) Read the DC Voltmeter across the load. If it reads Zero Volts, there is a problem somewhere in the circuit. Recheck the wiring and verify that the Firing Control Circuit is working properly. When a non-zero reading is available, record it in the table below. 7) Change the duty cycle on the Chopper by removing Signal A and putting Firing Control Signal B into Chopper Circuit Board. It is OK to leave the power supply on. 8) Measure the average load voltage for each available signal, A through D, and record them below: Average Load Voltage Signal/Duty Cycle Voltage A / 12.5% B / 25% C / 50% D / 75% Vdc Vdc Vdc Vdc 9) Select Firing Signal B as input to the Chopper. Fine-tune the Oscilloscope to display the load voltage waveform. Sketch it below: Figure 10-5 - 6- ECE 4501 Power Systems Laboratory Manual Rev 1.0 10) Now change the frequency of the clock signal on the firing circuit to approximately 100 Hz. (Putting an additional 10 F in parallel with the existing charging capacitor should do it) No need to turn off the power supply. 11) What is the immediate result in the reading on the DC Voltmeter Module? ___________________________________________________________ Why? ______________________________________________________ ___________________________________________________________ 12) Remove the 10 F capacitor and TURN OFF THE POWER SUPPLY, leaving the voltage control untouched. OUTPUT FILTERING: 13) To smooth the output waveform, it is necessary to store excess energy when the chopper is ON and return it to the load when the chopper is OFF. Add a free-wheeling Diode, a series inductor and a shunt capacitor to the circuit used above to make the following circuit: FIGURE 10-6 14) Apply Firing Signal B to the Chopper and record the value of the DC Voltmeter across the load.

Calculate the percent ripple: Percent Ripple = ________________%, 15.4 F 19) Look at the load voltage waveform on the oscilloscope. Does it look smoother? __________ 20) Note that the average voltage has increased significantly. One moust lower the duty cycle to maintain the desired average output voltage. 21) Return the voltage control to Zero percent and turn OFF the power supply. - 8- ECE 4501 Power Systems Laboratory Manual Rev 1.0 10.1.5 CONCLUSIONS 1.
