Abstract

This article presents a three-switch (3S) boost converter with hysteresis current control applied in MiniLED panels. It uses only three power switches to achieve high conversion ratio (=7.5) and low inductor current (20% lower than conventional boost converters). Meanwhile, the charging time of the flying capacitor will increase as the duty cycle increases. It enables the proposed 3S boost converter to have a high drive current (=1.2 A). In addition, the right half-plane (RHP) zero of the proposed topology is related to the switching frequency. By dynamically adjusting the position of RHP zero during transients, the recovery time and output voltage drop can be reduced at the same time. When the load increases from 120 mA to 1.2 A, the recovery time can be accelerated to 42 μs, and the maximum efficiency can reach 97.4%.
