This study analyzes the principles of the noninverting buck-boost converter and proposes a novel bumpless mode transition control method to effectively solve the mode transition problem. Small-signal analysis shows that the proposed method has good stability and dynamic performance in various typical conditions.
The noninverting buck-boost (NIBB) converter is a step-up and step-down dc-dc converter suitable for applications with a wide input voltage range. However, this circuit will face the problem of operating mode switching when the input voltage is close to the output voltage. Considering this problem, the principles of the NIBB converter are analyzed in this article. The duty cycle combinations of an NIBB converter are analyzed, and an analysis method for the mode transition problem from a geometric perspective is proposed. Using the two-edge pulsewidth modulation method, a novel bumpless mode transition control method is proposed. A nonlinear feedforward controller with hysteresis is designed according to the state equation of the circuit. Moreover, the inductor current reference value is compensated when the mode is switched so that the mode transition problem of the NIBB circuit is effectively solved. In addition, a small-signal analysis of the proposed method is performed. The analysis shows that the proposed method has good stability and dynamic performance in various typical conditions. A 10-kW NIBB prototype is built in this article, and the corresponding experimental scenarios are designed. The experimental results show that compared with the results of unified PI control during the mode transition, the transient oscillation of the output voltage is smaller, and the duration of the transient process is shorter.
