“…Both the controller and the plant can be simulated in real-time using the same simulator, SIL holds an advantage over RCP and HIL as it preserves signal integrity by not using any inputs or outputs. Additionally, both the controller and plant models run on the same simulator [15]. These converters are positioned between a primary source and a load, which, in some cases, is modeled as a power load.…”

This document introduces a rapid control prototyping (RCP) approach applied to the industrial sector using a non-linear Quadratic Buck Converter (QBC) DC-DC. The goal is to reduce manufacturing costs for materials and electronic devices while enhancing the power quality in the system's response. An experimental setup is utilized to create a functional model, converting 380 VDC to 48 VDC at a power level of 500 W. dSPACE CP1103 is employed to implement Model in the Loop (MIL), Software in the Loop (SIL), and Hardware in the Loop (HIL) simulations. Modern control techniques, including sliding mode control (SMC) and passivity-based control (PBC), are employed to devise a robust control scheme capable of maintaining stability in real-time (RT) and resisting disturbances. The document concludes with a performance analysis, PI, Cp, CpK, Z-score, and ITAE considering response time, signal accuracy, system stability, and resource utilization efficiency.INDEX TERMS dSPACE, hardware in the loop (HIL), Model in the loop (MIL), Passivity Control, performance indices, Quadratic Buck Converter (QBC), Rapid control prototyping (RCP), real-time (RT), sliding mode Control, software in the loop (SIL).

“…Simulation in the loop (SIL) stands out as a methodology that allows both controller and plant simulation on the same simulator without input or output utilization, preserving signal integrity. SIL offers advantages over RCP and HIL by ensuring signal integrity and enabling running both the controller and plant models on a single simulator is a requirement [14]. Buck converters typically sit between a primary power source and a load, usually electrical, providing a direct voltage supply to power various digital electronic devices.…”

This manuscript describes a swift control prototyping (SCP) approach implemented within an industrial setting, utilizing a DC-DC nonlinear quadratic buck converter (QBC) to decrease production expenses of electronic materials and devices while improving power system efficiency. A practical experimental setup is utilized to develop a working prototype, transforming 380 VDC to 48 VDC with a power capacity of up to 500 W. The setup incorporates dSPACE CP1103 to execute Model in the Loop (MIL), Software in the Loop (SIL), and Hardware in the Loop (HIL) methodologies. Additionally, it employs advanced control strategies such as passivity-based control (PCB) and canonical forms, which are compared with classical Proportional-Integral-Derivative (PID) control arrangements to propose a comprehensive control scheme that ensures stability in the presence of real-time disturbances (RT). Finally, a performance analysis is conducted, assessing important indicators like reaction time, precision of signals, stability of the system, and efficiency in resource utilization. The document concludes by offering a performance evaluation that encompasses PI, Cp, CpK, Z-score, and ITAE. This assessment considers factors such as response time, signal accuracy, system stability, and the efficiency of resource utilization.

“…Modern electronic products and automotive electric vehicles have come to rely heavily on the DC-DC switching power supplies [5]- [14]. These include the buck converter, which uses a feedback system to control its output voltage and is known to effectively step down the direct current voltage while minimizing power loss [15]- [17]. The main methods that DC-DC power converters typically use to regulate the output voltage are voltage mode control and current mode 1(a) and 1(b).…”

This paper introduces a novel direct current to direct current (DC-DC) buck converter that uses a pseudo-current hysteresis controller and an on-chip soft start circuit for improved transient performance in automotive applications. The proposed converter, implemented with Taiwan semiconductor manufacturing company (TSMC) 0.18 µm complementary metal oxide semiconductor (CMOS) one-poly-six-metal (1P6M) technology, includes a rail-to-rail current detection circuit and an on-chip soft start circuit to handle transient responses and improve efficiency. Transient response analysis shows fast settling times of 28 µs for both load current changes from 100 mA to 1 A and reversals with consistent transient voltages of approximately 190 mV and peak power efficiency of 99.32% at 5 V output voltage and 100 mA load current. Additionally, the converter maintains a constant output voltage of approximately 5 V across the entire load current range with an average accuracy of 90.41%. A comparative analysis with previous work shows superior performance in terms of figure of merit (FOM). Overall, the proposed pseudo-current hysteresis controlled buck converter exhibits remarkable transient response, load regulation and power efficiency, positioning it as a promising solution for demanding applications, particularly in automotive systems where precise voltage regulation is crucial.
