Abstract—In this paper, Analysis and comparison of the different types of DC-DC converters is done. The operating principle and the parameter of the buck-boost, cuk, speic and zeta converters are analyzed. The simulation is done in matlab in open loop control with pulse generator and also in closed loop control with Proportional Integral controller (PL). The input voltage range has been varied from 170V to 270V and output voltage is ovserved. Key words: DC Converters, Buck-Boost Converter, Cuk, Speic, Zeta I. INTRODUCTION There are number of DC-DC converters available, each of which is suitable for some type of application. Some converters step downs the voltage, while others step up. Voltage regulation is achieved by varying the on– off or duty cycle of the switching element. These BuckBoost converters have been widely used in electrical power system, medical instruments, and communication devices and also for traction motor control in electric automobiles and trolley cars, because they are highly efficient, provide smooth acceleration control and fast dynamic response with low voltage stresses. The Cuk converter is a switched mode power supply. The basic non isolated Cuk converter is designed based on the principle of using two Buck Boost converters to provide an inverted DC output voltage. The advantage of the basic non isolated Cuk converter over the standard Buck Boost converter is that it provides higher efficiency regulated DC voltage and ripple currents and switching losses are less. The Single-Ended Primary-Inductance converter (SEPIC) is a DC/DC converter topology, that provides a positive regulated output voltage from an input voltage. The SEPIC converter can both step up and step down the input voltage, while maintaining the same polarity and the same ground reference for the input and output. PI controllers are usually designed for closed loop SEPIC for desired output voltage. Non isolated Buck-Boost converters are generally used where the voltage needs to be stepped up or down. Zeta converter topology is similar to SEPIC DC-DC converter topology provides a positive output voltage from an input voltage that varies above and below the output voltage. The Zeta converter is another option for regulating an unregulated input-power supply. Zeta converter is also widely used in electrical power system, medical instruments, and communication devices and also for traction motor control in electric automobiles and trolley cars.
