Abstract A DC-DC converter is employed to develop a regulated voltage or current, derived from an unregulated power supply, or a battery. Instances of these applications include battery chargers, electronic air purifiers, emergency exit signs, distributed power systems, and renewable energy solar cell. This thesis presents the design procedures of different compensation schemes for voltage mode controlled (VMC) DC-DC switching converters. Integral (I) controller, Proportional plus integral (PI) controller, Fuzzy logic controller (FLC) and tuned Fuzzy logic controller (TFLC) have been investigated. The main objective of this thesis is to compare the effect of these controllers in improving the performance of the DC-DC converters. The evaluation of the output has been carried out and compared with software simulation using MATLAP and Proteus. To obtain high performance control of a DC-DC converter, a good model of the converter is needed. Small-signal models for three basic converter topologies were derived by means of state-space averaging. State-space averaging is used in this thesis to derive models for the buck, boost, and buck-boost converters. The control-to-output transfer function, the output impedance, and the audio susceptibility are extracted from this model for the buck, boost, and buck-boost converters. The switched-mode DC-DC converters are widely used power electronic circuits for their high conversion efficiency and flexible output voltage. These converters are used to regulate the output voltage against the changes of the input voltage and load current. This leads to the requirement of more advanced control methods to meet the real demand. Many control methods are developed for the control of DC-DC converters, to obtain a control method that has the best performance under any condition. Conventionally, the DC-DC converters are controlled by linear voltage mode and current mode control methods. In this thesis, voltage mode control is discussed. In this modem era technology, an embedded system is widely used in most electric and electronic components for specific tasks. It is simple systems that are built up for accomplishing and control specific task. The main purpose is to design and developed an embedded control system for controlling a DC-DC converter using a microcontrolIer. An embedded system has three important elements during the development. One of the elements is designing a hardware that contains a schematic diagram. Next is the development of the control part.
