This paper describes a new digital control method to enhance the dynamic performance of a dc-dc converter used in Plasma Display Panels (PDP). A simple digital PID compensator with duty ratio feed-forward control is proposed to minimize the output voltage variation for continuously changing load current. The duty ratio feed-forward is calculated using a noise-free load current information, which is predicted by the available video data of the PDP. No separate current sensing circuit is required. A small signal z-domain feed-forward model is derived for the performance analysis and controller design. The proposed control method is experimentally verified on an Asymmetrical Half Bridge (AHB) dc-dc converter, which supplies power to a 42 inch PDP.
