Forward Converter Feedback System Analysis

The document describes a forward converter with feedback system. The small-signal model is similar to a buck converter with an additional factor for the transformer turns ratio. The compensator transfer function and parameters like crossover frequency and phase margin are provided. Questions are asked to calculate values like output voltage, duty cycle, resonant frequency, Q-factors, and loop gain crossover frequency and phase margin based on the given information.

A forward converter with feedback system is illustrated below.

1 point

The small-signal ac model of the forward converter is essentially that of a


buck converter, plus an additional factor equal to the transformer turns ratio.
The relevant parameter values for this system are specified below:

H = 0.125
vref = 1.5 V ​

vg = 330 V ​

The compensator transfer function is

s ωL
(1+ )(1+ )
​

ωz s
​ ​

Gc (s) = Gc0
​

s
​ ​ ​

(1+ )
ωp
​

with

fz = ωz /2π = 4 kHz
​ ​

fp = ωp /2π = 56 kHz
​ ​

fL = ωL /2π = 1 kHz
​ ​

Gc0 = 3 ​

The pulse-width modulator is realized by a comparator and sawtooth


generator, as discussed in an earlier lecture. The peak-to-peak amplitude of
the sawtooth waveform is VM ​
= 2 V.
Unless otherwise specified, your numerical results should be entered with an
accuracy of ± 0.1%. Treat all components as ideal and hence neglect losses.

Question 1

What is the value of the steady-state output voltage V ?

2. What is the value of the steady-state duty cycle D ? 1 point

0.2909

3. What is the resonant frequency of the power stage poles? Express your 1 point
numerical answer in Hz and do not round.

4. What is the Q-factor of the power stage poles? Express your answer as a 1 point
numerical value, not in dB.

5. Sketch a Bode diagram of the loop gain T (s) for this system. Use the 1 point
magnitude asymptotes to estimate the crossover frequency fc of the loop
​

gain, and enter the numerical value in Hz below (do not round your answer)
(Use the asymptotes, not the exact function).

13914.34712

6. Compute the phase of T (s) at the crossover frequency you estimated above, 1 point
and use this value to compute the phase margin φm . Express your result in
​

degrees, and enter your result below. Use the exact expression for phase
(rather than the phase asymptotes) when computing φm . ​

7. Estimate the Q-factor of the closed-loop poles at the crossover frequency fc , ​


1 point
using the relationship between φm and Q discussed in lecture, and using your
​

result above for φm . Express your result in dB, and enter your result below.
​

Round to the nearest dB.
