| description | This paper presents a systematic approach for Zeta power converter control, a versatile solution designed for systems where the power supply is prone to fluctuations. The optimized controller exploits a detailed model of the power stage and adjusts the system parameters to ensure stability over a wide range of loads and loading conditions. A detailed model for the Zeta converter is developed, considering important power stage parameters such as the ON resistance of power transistors and inductor series resistance. The control strategy utilizes a phase-locked loop, which includes a loop filter along with an additional lead compensator circuit to improve the loop phase margin, thereby enhancing the system’s dynamic response and stability. The proposed graphical approach facilitates intuitive controller design and tuning, providing a robust framework for managing converter dynamics. The system stability and performance are validated through extensive transient simulations using a standard 180 nm CMOS technology, demonstrating the converter’s effectiveness in maintaining stable output under variable input conditions. Experimental results show that the proposed closed-loop Zeta converter can achieve a peak efficiency of 94% when the load resistance is <inline-formula> <tex-math notation="LaTeX">$10~\Omega $ </tex-math></inline-formula>, and it can handle current loads up to 3A. The system operates at a switching frequency of 85 kHz and can support an input voltage range from 6V to 34V while maintaining stable output. During reference tracking tests, the system demonstrates excellent transient response, with a settling time of 12.5 ms and a peak overshoot of 3.9V. Additionally, compared to similar works, the system exhibits superior normalized transient load regulation, highlighting the robustness of the proposed control strategy. |
