      En este trabajo se presentan algunos resultados obtenidos al analizar el convertidor buck controlado mediante un modulador de anchura de pulsos (PWM) centrado. El ciclo de trabajo se calcula obligando a que una salida, ...
    • Transition from periodicity to chaos in a PWM-controlled buck converter with ZAD strategy

      Article
      Accés obert
      The transition from periodicity to chaos in a DC-DC Buck power converter is studied in this paper. The converter is controlled through a direct Pulse Width Modulation (PWM) in order to regulate the error dynamics at zero. ...
